At a height of 186 meters from the road, Emily's eyes lit up. The room she had just entered had glass walls. The view of Auckland city was beautifully displayed behind it. "Welcome to the tallest tower in NZ, Uncle and Auntie. This tower is an icon of Auckland city, built in 1994 with a total height of 328 meters. From this floor, you can enjoy a 360° view of the city. Your dinner will definitely be very romantic and impressive," Summer explained enthusiastically. Emily smiled sweetly. While embracing Cayden's waist, she whispered, "We didn't choose the wrong guide." Then, she looked back at Summer. "Thank you, Little Guide. I really like this place." Summer smiled. A sense of pride filled her heart. While putting her hands on her hips, she nodded firmly. "Then, enjoy your dinner, Auntie. Please take a seat at the table we have prepared especially for you. After you are finished, Mama and I will return." "Where are you going? Aren't you having dinner?" Sky shook her h
“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
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
The man was stunned, his pride hurt. He never expected someone to accuse him of being gay. "What kind of question is that?" Emily put on a haughty look. "You changed my clothes last night. You must have seen my bare body. It seems impossible that any man could resist such a big temptation." "Not all men are impudent, Miss Harper. Some men like me have good self-control. We know how to respect women," he stated with a nod. Emily tilted her head slightly. Her eyes narrowed. "That's too hard to believe. How can a normal guy stand looking at a woman's body without touching her? Unless, you're a bodyguard sent by Louis. You're afraid he'll fire you if he caught you touching me." The man took a deep breath. "You have a trust issue, apparently. You'll still think I'm a bodyguard even if I deny it, right?" Before Emily had time to reply, he entered the bathroom. Emily could only purse her lips. "If he's not Louis' bodyguard, then who is he?" she grumbled. At that moment, her e
"Did I see it correctly? That guy was carrying a knife?" the blonde whispered tensely. Another girl who was still sitting on the sidewalk swallowed hard. Before she could answer, her tall friend shrieked and covered her mouth with both hands. The guy in the hat had launched an attack. Drops of blood fell near Emily's feet, staining the sidewalk with their red color. "Jeez! We could end up at the police station again! Guys, let's go! Don't let the police arrive first!" the blonde exclaimed. While the three girls were helter-skeltering, Emily froze with her mouth and eyes wide open. She was too late to catch the attacker's hand. She also knew that blood had dripped on the sidewalk. However, why didn't she feel any pain? Emily bowed her head lower. Finding another hand gripping the blade of the knife, an inch in front of her stomach, she gasped. Her whole body was shaking. Only when someone pulled her back did she realize. Prince had saved her again. She didn't understand how h
"Who is Cayden?" The handsome guy raised an eyebrow. Emily spontaneously released her grip. Disappointment appeared on her face. "So you're not Cayden?" she asked faintly. The man frowned. He looked uncomfortable with Emily's gaze. After a blink, he held out his left hand. "Prince. Prince Evans. I think this is a more appropriate way to get acquainted." Emily didn't shake his hand. She lowered her gaze, sighing heavily. One of her hands rose to clutch her head. "What did I expect? How could this guy be Cayden?" she laughed bitterly. Before Emily had time to deal with her feelings, Prince snatched the phone from her grasp. "Hey!" Emily pulled on his leather jacket. She tried to get her phone back. Unfortunately, Prince already raised his arm. "What's your brother's name? Louis?" "What do you want? Don't mess around!" Emily jumped, but not high enough. "I want to call him. He should pick you up immediately," Prince said as he looked up at the screen. "
"I agree to the the condition as long as you don't fall in love with me," Prince said with gentle eyes. Emily gaped at a loss for words. After one blink, a dry laugh escaped her mouth. "You think I'll be interested in you?" Again, Prince shrugged his shoulders. "Love is hard to predict. It can come at any time, even at unexpected moments. And when it comes, is there anyone who can refuse it?" Pursing her lips, Emily raised her chin. "I already love someone. It's impossible for my heart to split. Never will I ever fall in love with you." Prince nodded with a subtle sneer. "Okay. If you're that sure, you don't need to be afraid of accepting the term and condition. As long as you don't love me, I won't do that either. But once you break it, this deal is over." "Okay!" Emily held out her hand. "From now on, you are my bodyguard. You will work professionally, without involving unnecessary feelings, because I will never fall in love with you." Prince shook Emily's right hand with
