Protect her. Obey her father. Never fall for her.
Those were the only three rules Theo was given when he accepted his assignment as the president’s daughter’s personal bodyguard.

Danielle Geiger was supposed to be another mission to him, just a spoiled heiress hidden behind privilege and secrets. But the moment he saw the loneliness behind her toughness, everything he’d been trained to control began to break.

And then, Theo broke all three rules.

Every order he followed led him back to her.
Every touch he denied burned a little deeper.

And when the line between duty and desire finally snapped, there was no turning back.

Because Theo could guard her body, fight her enemies, and take every bullet meant for her,
but the one thing he could never protect her from… was himself.

He guarded her body.
But she was the one who held his heart hostage.

Now, love isn’t the risk.
It’s the weapon that could ruin them both.

 Danielle gasped, and when that student left, she also rushed out from Theo's room.


"Hahahahah!" The janitor's laugh was loud enough for everyone in the hallway to hear. 


Theo crossed his arms, and listened half-heartedly as the old man rambled about clogged sinks and broken light fixtures. 


"She doesn't talk much, does she?" the janitor asked all of a sudden, sweeping the floor lazily.


"Well…" Theo touched the tip of his nose, "she's not supposed to," he replied shortly.


The janitor nodded, unbothered. "You're really one of those security guys, huh? Always watching, never sleeping."


A message appeared on Theo's phone. He checked it quickly, but it was blank screen, no message from Danielle. 


Usually, she texted when she went to study or if she planned to skip lunch, but today he received no messages from her.
