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
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 34: Daunting Truth
Asher and Isabella made it to the hospital. But Edith and her men didn't let them. I'm claiming he wasn't to be disturbed and all. Being the wife, she had rights not even Isabella, the daughter, could fight against. In the end, the two frustrated lovers left, scheming ways to return and bulldoze through Lucas' hospital room without Edith's knowledge. What they didn't know was that someone had been following them. They had just arrived at the Cabin at Asher's insistence that Isabella shouldn't go back to the mansion when they were attacked. Another set of gunmen. Two security lost their lives protecting Isabella, and Asher was able to whisk her away unscathed. “Give me that goddamned device.” Isabella took back the PDA and without hesitation punched in her mother's birthday. It was the wrong pin. Once again she punched a different date and, to both their shock, the device unlocked. Asher glanced at his lover quizzically. They were driving down to the police station after calling to
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 35: Calling In A favor
Asher thought back to three years ago when he so happened to save someone just by coincidence. It was a kid who almost got run over by a car. It's something mundane, but not for the mother of the boy. And since Asher had sustained a few scratches in the ordeal, the woman felt she owed Asher a life. Against the insistence of the bodyguard, the woman whose name was Dragana, urged Asher to exchange contacts and made him promise that if he ever needs someone to help him bury a body, she should be the person to contact. Of course, it didn't make sense to Asher until he ran a background check on the woman. Dragana is a well-known drug lord. With a lot of charges, but since no one ever knew what she looked like, and has never been betrayed, the woman roams free as she pleases. It surprised Asher that she revealed herself to him. And Though he has never felt the need to contact Dragana in any way, he kept the contact. Back then when he believed the Garcias were his mortal enemies. “Can this
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 36: The Cruel resort
Dragana was nothing like the image Isabella had conjured in her mind. She was a petite, tall walking goddess who looked like she had just walked out of a v*gue magazine. She could be in her early thirties from her appearance. And the spoiled heirless couldn't stop gawking. Not even after Asher jabbed her discreetly on the elbow a couple of times. Which Dragana found flattering and amusing. “What did you expect, princess?” Dragana joked. From Isabella's clothing and mannerisms, it was evident money was not a problem for her. “I honestly don't know,” Isabella breathed in awe. “But this,” she motioned at Dragana's frame. “This is not it.” Dragana burst out laughing. It was a reaction she received from many of her acquaintances, and unknown to many, is her greatest strength. Because it makes idiots undermine her. “Can you shoot?” Dragana asked Isabella seriously.“Not straight,” Isabella replied.“I like her,” Dragana who up to now was treating Asher like an old friend, declared. “You
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 37: Utterly Useless
When Isabella woke, her eyes met total darkness. Panicking, she carefully got out of bed and tried to look for her phone, which she found under the pillow. Using the flashlight, she looked for a switch and put the lights on. The strange-looking room was locked from the outside, she couldn't get out. Her panic spiraled. Did Edith finally get her? She wondered. The first person who came to mind was Asher. She began dialing his number but stopped as her last conscious memories began flooding in. Touching the back of her neck, a certain spot was sore. 'He knocked me out.' She fumed in realization. He knew she wouldn't consent to stay with Dragana. The more she remembered, the angrier she got. Who did he think he was to make such important decisions on her behalf? She was so going to kill him. Finally dialing his number, it went straight to voice mail. “Fucking bastard!” She screamed, tossing her phone on the bed and began pacing. Wondering how she was going to get out and go confront he
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 38: Games Commenced
Isabella could have fainted. She had to hold on to the table as her whole body weakened. Blinking rapidly, she wondered if she had indeed heard Marcia right. How can it be? She saw Paul as family. Someone she could count on. And yet, all along he was stabbing them in their backs?“Bella,” Marcia called. “Are you still there?” She could hear Isabella's heavy breathing. “I am here.” Isabella croaked, her heart tearing broken. “But…what about Paul?” she stuttered. Shattered. And in disbelief.“I can't believe it either,” said Marcia. She is the closest to Paul. In all ways. And she thought she knew him. To her extreme shock, the man wasn't a trustworthy one. Merely thinking of his involvement in Marina's death makes Marcia want to strangle him to death. All thanks to Asher, who happened to bug Edith's phone and discovered Paul's involvement. Marcia was so ready to confront him the moment Asher told her. With much difficulty, he was able to persuade her to look at the big picture. There w
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 39: Nothing To Offer
.”You should speak with her,” Marcia said, immediately she realized it was Asher who had entered the kitchen. The story going around the mansion was that Isabella had dodged her bodyguard, and Asher was doing his best to sell the who, 'I am looking for her act.' Luckily, Paul hadn't known yet that Asher had hidden Isabella, so he was just as blank as the rest. Marcia knew, of course, but she didn't know where. Asher kept that detail to himself, which the older woman appreciated. At least she was sure the young woman she sees as a daughter was safe and loved by someone who would go to great lengths to protect her.“I have no good news to offer her,” Asher grumbled. He knew he had to redeem himself in her eyes after the shitty move he had pulled, and the only way to do that would be to give her something she needed. Justice. But until he can corner Edith, there is nothing he can tell her that would make it better. He dared to knock her out, just to make her yield to his will, so her ang
