It was going to take time to adjust to our new lives but we would make do. I for one did not like the fact that there were bodyguards around the whole house. Jackson was the head of my security and I trusted his judgment.

He had joined me in leaving the army and we had been together ever since. I had woken up without Isabella at my side. When I eventually laid eyes on her, I realized how stressed out she was. Her appearance got me worried.

"You look like you did not sleep well last night," He told me as we got ready for work

"What man are you talking about?"

"He called himself Monroe," I said with a yawn.

"Jackson, you are turning white! Are you okay?" I asked in alarm.

"I am fine," He assured me as he tried to calm down, the colors were back on his face.
