The Heiress's Bodyguard Is An Enemy
I wrapped the blanket around myself to keep myself warm on the bed, and I turned off the lights. I worked my ass off all day, and finally the day is over, and I was about to close my eyes. But something flickers in the shadow. Something shiny.
I jumped when my heart started pounding. Something told me I wasn't alone, and the large figure in the shadow stepped out of the shadow, and he stopped a few inches from me. His cologne on his suit smelled fabulously, but I kept a poker face, and I growled through my teeth, "What the hell are you doing here? How did you find me?"
He gave me a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes, and his smile scared me. I tried to back up, my knees hitting the edge of the bed, and he went to grab my waist, pulling me into his chest, my breast pressing against his, its weight lingering between us.
"My sweet girl, did you think you could run from me? Hide from me?"
I tried to push him away; it was like fighting against an unyielding wall, and I started beating his chest, "Fucker, let me go."
He didn't show any pain or outrage, which scared me more. I didn't know what he was thinking or what he wanted. He took everything from me, lied to me, and betrayed me. Everything between us was a lie. Even our first meeting was a lie.
I can feel the tears coming up, but I forced myself not to cry. I didn't want to give this bastard the decency of me crying. But he noticed the tears and wiped them away with the rough pad of his fingers and told me in a rough, low voice, "My love, I can give you anything you want. Anything in the world."
I hissed, "Away from you!"
He continued smiling, but his eyes turned fiercer and scarier. "Except for that."
And he kissed me, his mouth filled with hunger, and I knew he would never let me go. It was a twisted game of desire and a clash of hatred.
Till the end.
