The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 26: A Nasty Confrontation
Lucas had never defended his daughter Isabella against his wife's ridicule or insults. Mainly because everything Edith accused Isabella of, was quite true. But today he was itching to shut her down. Yet, he couldn't. Not without arousing unnecessary suspicion. So, he shoved his anger deep down and offered his darling wife a small smile as if he were concurring with her words. The act motivated Edith to keep on spewing nonsense. “You would be a fool to invest in that loser!” She went on. “The nerve. Who does she think she is?” “Don't get yourself worked up for nothing.” Lucas cooed, reaching out to rub his wife's palm gently, though all he wanted to do was grab his tightly and demand she tell him if she had anything to do with Lorena's death. “What did you tell her?” Edith wasn't letting it go. She was like a dog with a bone. Lucas sighed in exaggeration. “I told her I would think about it.” He started calmly. “What? Are you crazy?” She pulled her hand out of his harshly. “What's
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 27: A Mirror To The Past
“Lucas Garcia, what are you insinuating?” Her eyes shifted. She was definitely on the edge. Lucas noticed just as he realized his blunder. He breathed out heavily, running his hand down his face. “All I am saying is it must have been an accident because she was drunk according to the autopsy. She was sad but not miserable as to kill herself.” Edith exhaled discreetly, relieved terribly. For a split second, she had imagined the worst. Like perhaps a loophole that might have exposed a secret she and a few vowed to carry to their graves. “That doesn't mean you should waste your money on that brat.” She argued more calmly. Lucas sighed. He was too tired of bickering with her. Plus, he had already confirmed Isabella's suspicions to be somewhat true. Edith seemed to have a deep-rooted hatred for Lorena. Nothing is as dangerous as a foe posing as a confidant. And that's precisely what he planned to be to Edith. At least until he can uncover the mystery behind Lorena's death. Heaven's help
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 28: Double Jealousy??
'Was I that horrible?' Lucas thought to himself in disbelief. Didn't he love his wife with all his might? Where could he have done wrong to make Marcia come to such a disheartening conclusion? Could have Lorena felt the same way, and he didn't notice it in time? “I loved your friend, dearly.” He managed to croak. He didn't understand why he desperately wanted Marcia to believe him. Perhaps it would make him feel like less of a failure, or maybe he just needed to be in her good graces once again. “Keep telling yourself that, if it helps you sleep better at night.” It was like Marcia woke up and chose war. She wasn't going easy on him at all. Lucas exhausted all that he could say in his defense and decided to ask Marcia what he did so badly that made her hate him that much. Of course, he knew in the list, his marriage to Edith topped it. But it was his surprise, she was angrier at how he had been treating Isabella so far. She went ahead to remind him that all the money he and his 'per
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 29: Asher Green
He fumed. Every cell in his body vibrated in rage, but there was nothing he could do apart from watch the woman he loves laugh contently in another man's arms. And when they entered the café together, hand in hand, Asher was left cussing under his breath, fighting the urge to cyclone after them and throw his woman over the shoulder. He had to remind himself that in public he is nothing more than a bodyguard. Wanting to distract himself, Asher took out his phone and began reading the numerous messages he had been ignoring from his old man. Though he would rather not, Asher decided to Go call him and give false hopes because the alternative would be Silas storming over to the Garcia mansion and that would be a sight to behold. Inside the café, Isabella and Elton had a lot to talk about. Mostly revolved around Silvia and how her absence has been hard for everyone. Elton commented that Isabella looked different. Calm and even healthier looking. That's when she told him all about Asher's
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 30: Lover's Spat
“Daddy…” Olivia sputtered, trying to take an innocent stance and paint her sister as the aggressor. Jacinta saw the savage move and glared at her. Isabella, who already had enough of the shitty turn her day had taken, took the opportunity to slip away, hurrying to her room. Lucas noticed she looked miserable, but didn't ask about it because he was sure he was the last person she would unburden to. Also, with Jacinta and Olivia around, Lucas didn't feel it was wise to go, an all-concerned father in fear of arousing suspicion. Knowing his daughters, they have runny mouths. And Edith would definitely hear about it in a matter of seconds. “We just wanted to know why she seemed sad.” Jacinta said lamely, making Lucas to turn and look at her. He wanted so badly to scold her on behalf of Isabella, but decided against it. With a flicker of his wrist, he dismissed the two, telling them lightly to let Isabella be. They, of course, nodded fast, but Lucas wasn't fooled. He had barely disappeared
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 31: Redemption
“I saw a text on your phone earlier.” She began slowly. Asher sucked in breath, dreading her next words. “I swear I wasn't snooping.” Isabella went on quickly, missing the real reason which worried Asher. The man doesn't know that whatever Isabella saw was through the notification window. “Okay…” Asher trailed, wishing she could just continue speaking so that he could gauge how screwed he was. “Is everything alright?” She went on making Asher frown. “I mean you are always there for me, but I have never taken the time to ask more about your life, and worries.” Asher could have passed out in relief. “Thank you, for thinking of me, Princess.” He chuckled, kissing her head. “I am all good, I promise.” He leaned to kiss her nose, hoping to turn the attention away from him. Scattered a few more kisses all over his girlfriend's face, he succeeded. Isabella wanted more than feathery kisses. She pulled her man's head down and smacked her lips over his. Asher immediately engaged her like a
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 32: Lady Boss
Both lovers stilled, frozen with both fear and excitement. Who could it be? Asher wondered. If it was Lucas, then he might as well be screwed. Luckily, he had locked the door, which gave them the needed time to get decent. “I will f*king murder whoever it is,” Isabella grumbled. It had only begun getting good, and someone had the audacity to interrupt.“Might be your old man.” Asher teased, making Isabella sober immediately. It would be embarrassing for her father to catch her in such a state. “He would fire you.” She worried.“He already knows we are fucking.” Asher snorted. Isabella gaped.“You told him?” She asked ridiculously.Asher chuckled lowly. “They all know we are in a relationship and as such… " Another knock echoed, making Asher trail. “Whoever it is, they definitely ain't playing.” Isabella smacked his ribs as they finished getting dressed. Isabella had to grab a new top from her wardrobe courtesy of her boyfriend. The comical part was the two trying to make their rag
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 33: Compromised ?
When Isabella jolted awake, her lover was no longer beside her. Which was odd because she clearly remembered going to bed together the night before. After their vigorous activities, the two took their time cleaning each other and later, Asher carried her to bed where he cuddled her until she succumbed to sleep. Grabbing whatever decent clothes she could find, Isabella wandered downstairs, wondering what might have made Asher sneak out of her room. “Oh, sweet child…” Isabella bumped into Marcia, who was on her way to wake Isabella up. From Marcia's telling look, Isabella knew something what terribly wrong even before she asked. Her heart had already begun picking pace. Did something happen to Asher? She dreaded hearing what Marcia had to say. “What happened?” She asked Marcia, who was fawning over her excessively. “Where is Asher?” Isabella insisted after having received no answer from a somewhat disoriented Marcia. “Is he okay?” Just as the words fell out of her mouth, they heard foo
