The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 66. Cayden's Privacy
When she arrived at the elevator door, Emily froze. Why did Cayden take her upstairs? There were just the Evans' rooms and work space on that floor. "Emily? Why are you thinking? Come on in," Cayden said. It turned out he was already in the elevator. Emily blinked. Faking a laugh, she stood by Cayden's side. "Sorry. I was too amazed. The elevator in my office isn't even this big," she replied spontaneously. "We actually prepared this elevator for Inston. Who would have thought, I would actually be using it now." Emily's face dimmed. She didn't mean to spread sadness. "I think Inston will be happy when he sees this elevator. He knows how much his family loves and cares about him," she tried to fix the situation. Cayden raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect Emily to prefer talking about the future rather than the past. "Yes, I also think so. Especially, when he finds out that his family members have increased in number. He must be happy to wake up and see the world again."

"Do you know why I take you here?" Cayden whispered again. Emily shook her head. "Why?" "Because you barely know me. All this time, I've only seen you from afar. When we met in France, I still pretended to be Prince. Now ...." Cayden took Emily's hand. "Only now can I show you who I truly am. I don't want you to be confused and doubtful anymore, Emily. I want you to know me well. I am a man who's trying to be cool, so I can meet you again without shame or regret." Emily bit her lip. Her tears would spill if she didn't do that. "I admit I was confused. But I never doubted you, Cay," she replied in a hoarse voice. "I know, you're the boy I had always been waiting for—someone I believed would come, someone who would keep his promises." While taking a deep breath, Emily looked at the wall that displayed Cayden's journey of life. There were only pictures of the people closest to him on that side. One of them was hers. "Just like you, Cay, I also have lots of stories to tell. I

"Please have a seat, Princess. Enjoy the most romantic instrumental piece without getting tired of standing," Cayden said softly. Now Emily understood why Cayden didn't sit in the middle of the bench. He left some space for her. After Emily sat beside him, Cayden closed his eyes. He played every melody with deep feeling. Emily enjoyed it with teary eyes. "Did you know?" Cayden whispered while kept playing. "Liebestraume is actually an original song. It has lyrics, the poems that describe three forms of love." Cayden's voice was so gentle. Emily couldn't help but look at him. Even though his eyes were still closed, his face was still enchanting. Smiling, Emily kept to listen to his words. "The first section is about exalted love, while the second is about erotic love." Cayden paused his words, adjusting to the rhythm of the song. "The most famous part is the one I'm playing. Liebestraume number three. This song is about mature love, the highest level of love that a person
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 69. A Girl Like You
Emily had tried to act normally at dinner. However, her head was too heavy to lift. Her gaze kept avoiding Gabriella. Gabriella knew that the girl was embarrassed. She also tried to act normally. However, she couldn't take her eyes off of her "future daughter-in-law". According to her, Emily was cute and sweet. "Emily, can I ask you something?" she asked when the opportunity came. Emily straightened her back. Her eyes widened, especially when she realized that Gabriella was smiling mysteriously at her. "Yes, Ma'am." The woman sitting opposite Emily leaned towards the table. "Do you have an ideal age for marriage?" Emily froze. Her eyes flickered, searching for the right answer. The others secretly found her expression funny. "I-I ... never thought about it." Gabriella's lips pursed. "How about you start thinking about it? Maybe that could be a clue when Cayden should propose to you." "Mom?" the guy who sat beside Gabriella whispered. "Why discuss that? Emily could be

"If I could have a daughter, I would like to have one like you. You're kind, beautiful, and intelligent. You're polite and also brave." Emily widened her eyes at the compliment. She felt flattered and shy at the same time. "Thank you, Mrs. Evans. I didn't know you thought that great of me," she said with her head slightly bowed. "You're that great, Sweetheart. Why do you sound doubtful?" Emily peeked out of the corner of her eye. Her smile turned wry. "Recently, I've done a lot of stupid things. I put Cayden in danger several times. I still regret it till now. I also feel that I haven't succeeded in making amends. My kindness towards Cayden is still lacking." Suddenly, Gabriella laughed. Her voice surprised Emily. "See? How sweet and kind you are. If you weren't the girl of choice, you would have left Cayden. I mean, he's sitting in a wheelchair. Other girls would have run away, but you," Gabriella stroked Emily's shoulder, "you chose to stay beside him. You helped him r
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 1. Ran Away
“You don't mind to risk your life? For your first love?” The irritated man laughed horribly. “Emily Harper, you're just an ordinary stupid girl!” Emily's breath hitched. Her eyes trembled. The guy now was holding a knife, right in front of her. “Y-you're not him? You're not Cay—” Emily's words were cut off by the knife blade shot towards her stomach. She tried to dodge, but her body was too tense. The next thing she knew, blood started dripping onto the floor. She could only gasp, gaping with a blank look. Memories rolled quickly through her mind. When it came to the end, a question echoed. Was she right to maintain a love that brought disaster? A moment ago .... Breaking news! “Emily Harper, the heiress of the Savior Group, has reportedly been missing. Since rejecting Brandon Young's proposal last Saturday night, she has not been seen.” “Many people speculated that she ran away to avoid the public. Some parties suspected that she had been kidnapped. However, the Harper family
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 2. The Stalker
Emily brought the phone closer to her ear. Louis was still bombarding her with questions. “Emily, what happened? Did someone attack you? Are you okay? Emily? Don't make me worry." Instead of feeling guilty, Emily let out a tired sigh. "I'm fine, Louis." Louis snorted. “Don't lie to me! I clearly heard the commotion just now.” “It was just an old lady who suddenly lost her balance. Maybe she's not so healthy. Nothing happened to me, okay? People here don't even know me. You don't need to worry. Have you forgotten? I can defend myself and defeat the enemy." "If only one enemy," Louis continued. "What about two or more? You think you're the Supergirl who can beat them? Not to mention if your opponent is stronger and bigger. You're not safe there alone." Emily snorted. "You underestimate me. Do you remember how I beat Russell during the last training?" "That's because he gave in to you. He's a sweet little brother. He wanted to make you happy and was afraid of hurting you."

Emily flinched when she woke up. Her eyes flickered. The room looked strange to her. "What happened? Why am I here? Wasn't the last time I ...." Suddenly, the man with an umbrella flashed in her memory. Emily gasped, her eyes widened to the max. "I fell asleep on the street? In front of that man?" Emily sighed in disbelief. Panicking, she hurriedly got up. When the blanket was lifted, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She was wearing nothing but a men's t-shirt! "Gosh! What happened last night? Could it be ... that guy took advantage of me?" Imagining what might have happened to her, Emily clutched her head. Her eyes were red with annoyance. "Why am I so careless? What should I explain to Cayden later? Then Louis ... he will definitely curse at me. Mom and Dad ... they will definitely be sad and disappointed." Emily closed her eyes tightly. She hoped it was just a dream, but her regret only felt even more real. "How come I repeat Mom's fate? Sleeping with a
