The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 48: The Beleaved Souls
Asher had lot count of the number of times he had fallen in and out of consciousness. There was literally no part of his body that hadn't tasted some kind of beating. Either whip, fist, kick, or slap. Even opening his eyes felt like a hard chore. But despite it all, he hadn't even admitted to k owing where Lucas or his daughter were. It was a secret he would rather take to his grave. And he might. Unless Dragana or his friends, whom he was supposed to meet with, figure out anything was a miss. The last time he spoke to them was when he postponed their drinks plan to a later hour because he had been summoned to the mansion. Is Mathias Fredric's man as well? Asher wondered if the old man had known all along what Frederic and his daughter had done. Asher was getting a headache, either from thinking too much or because his poor wounded head lay on the cold concrete. Were it a weaker man, he might have begging for a quick death by now or screaming the needed like Frederic hoped. Asher tho
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 49: Confusion Contest
Isabella had been pacing all over the estate non-stop. Her conversation with Lucas had left her feeling disoriented. It was like she was relieving shit she would rather put behind her. To Lucas, it felt like news, but to poor Isabella it was worse than rubbing salt in a wound.“Hey!” She had been too preoccupied to notice Sebastian approach. The teenager had been done with school and had rushed home to gaze at his beautiful crush. His best friend from school had a hard time picturing a goddess like Isabella walking among mortals according to the way Sebastian had painted her. “You are back.” Isabella attempted a happy front. Buy Sebastian saw her sadness. Being a clueless one, he assumed that his other must have gone off on Isabella, since he had heard them argue a day or two earlier. “Don't mind her. She is a buzz killer sometimes.” Sebastian whispered clandestinely. Isabella laughed, not surprised at all with the remark. Thing, is, Sebastian was yet to know about Lucas. Well, he h
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 50: Always In The Shadows
If crying and whimpering 'I don't know what you are talking about daddy' could be anyone, Edith would literally be the safest person on earth. But instead, Frederic had resulted to punching and kicking her, convinced that she and Lucas are working together to sabotage him. He finally managed to knock her to the floor, muttering a series of swear words. As if on cue, his phone pinged, vibrating in his pocket. His heart did a flip. Even before he fetched the phone and opened to see the attachment from the strange number, he knew he wouldn't like what he would see. “Fucking hell!” He screamed tossing his phone, it hit a wall and shattered. Determined, he stalked towards his daughter who was still crying her heart out on the floor. Pulling her up roughly, he began stripping her. He needed to find where she was hiding the camera. Because there is no way someone just managed to record the beating he had just given her if there was no camera in the room. And since he hadn't found any camer
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 51: Playing Dirty
Fredric's brain began buzzing. A million thoughts crossed his agitated mind, and one truth stood out. His mansion had been bugged. And not by his daughter. But rather one of his pleasure toys. Which meant that Lucas' influence ran deeper than he had anticipated. How many of his trusted had been compromised? He felt his stomach churn at what might have been discovered, and for the very first time he shook. Trembled at the possibility of his enemies having the upper hand. And prison, was not an option. Heavens knew he wouldn't survive there. He had arrested more men than he would care to count, and even if he hadn't, no man of the uniform does well in prison. That left Frederic with only one option. Destroy his enemies before they destroy him.With no formulated plan in mind, Frederic turned to his daughter. His pride and chauvinism would let him apologize, but he knew she was the last person who would betray him. “It's you and me against them all.” He rasped, stopping closer and rela
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 52: Unfolding .
A new routine had developed in Dragana's estate. Each morning, Isabella would wake up early to accompany Sebastian for breakfast and see him to the gate, then she would check on Lucas before spending most of her day in the library. She had discovered a hidden gem in Dragana's mansion. A library. That apparently belonged to her deceased husband, and though she didn't share the same passion, she diligently kept the library in good shape and updated even after so many years after his demise. She claimed it is the calmest place in the estate. It's a spot she goes to when she needs to unwind. And the first time Sebastian took Isabella there, Dragana was a little peeved. Because for so long, the library felt like a sacred place. For her family. Though she didn't mention her annoyance to Isabella, she did to her son. Who argued that Isabella was a book lover like his father, and even questioned his mother, what was the need of having a perfectly up-to-date library if no one uses it? Challen
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 53: Ultimatum Perhaps ?
In Garcia mansion, Marcia was beside herself with worry. She hadn't managed to get through to Asher and now with Isabella termed as a criminal, everything seemed like it was falling apart. And the more convinced she got that something awful had happened to Asher. She knew there was no way of finding out on her own, and that made her feel so useless.If only Paul hadn't turned out to be a traitor! At least she would have had at least a soul to turn to with her worries. At last, she resorted to calling Isabella. Before she did, Isabella called her. “Did you see the news?” Isabella asked the minute Marcia answered. “I think the whole country has by now.” Marcia breathed. She was relieved to hear the calmness in Isabella's tone, which meant the young woman wasn't too affected by the slander and in fact was laughing at the ridiculousness of the entire situation. For a brief while, Marcia contemplated telling her about Asher, wondering if it was worth pilling woes on Isabella's shoulder
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 54: Short But...
Isabella didn't move for a while. Not just because of what Dragana had said, but more of how she had said it. Like she was washing her hands of their case. But could she really blame the woman? She was already in too deep, risking her neck for people that are neither her family nor old friends. “I think you should listen to her.” Lucas spoke up softly. He didn't sound confident, nor did he try to dictate his wishes. From whatever he understood about himself so far, there is nothing in his past that suggests he is equipped to give sound advice or to take up a fatherly role. “I am not trying to dictate what you should do, but if someone has indeed kidnapped your boyfriend, their aim must be to lure you out. And doing exactly what they want seems dumb, doesn't it?” “Nowhere as dumb as raising your father - in - laws kids!” Isabella snapped. Lucas' face fell. He quietly got his feet wobbly, picked his clutches ready to exit. It was evident his presence was the last thing Isabella needed
The Heiress And Her Bodyguard 55: Coming To Light
“Ooh, come on!” Lucas said in a playful tone, earning a stuck out tongue from Dragana. Isabella frowned. Was it merely her imagination, or had the two gotten really close? Her unasked question was answered almost immediately. “Sue me, old man.” Dragana winked. Lucas visibly reddened, confirming to Isabella that she wasn't just seeing her own things.“EW!” Isabella's face contorted as if it was emphasizing her feelings.“What?” Lucas asked with a straight face. “Haven't you had enough share of women in this lifetime?” The rude question was asked with a small smile that told Lucas it wasn't that serious. “You two are literally flirting in front of me.”“So?” Dragana challenged mischievously. “How selfish you are!” She went on without giving Isabella a chance to respond. “You got a boyfriend already, and you don't want me to snug myself one.” Isabella snorted. Just before, she sobered up and brought up Asher. Dragana confessed to already having planted someone close to Frederic, and the
