AVA DUVAL

I had made up my mind.

I did last night when I phoned Liam.

Humans were instinctively rational in nature, weighing benefits from losses.

The table was oddly quiet. The morning sun spread its light into the room, casting its rays on Ethan, his hair shone beautifully, dark and shiny.

I wanted to falter, but I braced myself cutting into the bread.

Father and I sat opposite each other while Ethan stood behind me, his head to the ground. As usual.

We never spoke about the incident la

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Crazy Reconciliation

    ETHAN COLE The door slammed shut. The room felt oddly bright, forcing me to squint.I held my cheek, rubbing it to ease the pain from Winnie's slap. In the span of one month, I had received enough slaps to last for an entire year. I raised my head to get a clear picture of her face; her lips were twisted in irritation, and her brows furrowed as though she was ready to pounce on me at any time. Her hands rested on her hips, her gaze solid and a bit terrifying coming from Winnie. I had ignored her for almost two weeks now — her calls, texts, all because of a decision. A sigh escaped my lips. I deserved more than just a slap and a scold. “Winnie…”She raised her hand, stopping me from speaking. She didn't care for an explanation, and in all honesty, I understood. “You… tell me why I shouldn't skin you alive?!” She was trying so hard not to get too aggravated. Apparently, I was the pain in her ass that refused to leave. The one that stuck for too long, and always did w

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Hiding in the Shadows

    AVA DUVAL I hated that feeling of helplessness. I'd spent too long pretending I wasn't weak. My legs held the ground firmly, as I observed the training field. The moon stood brightly in the sky casting its glow towards the open field. The wooden dummies stayed motionless, their blank faces seemed to watch me... to judge me. Their arms stretched wide, as though inviting another beating.The light bulb flickered each time the breeze blew a little too strong. The memory of my kidnap replayed in my head every day during my treatment. The way that silver headed man grabbed my neck with one hand throwing me to the wet floor. Days spent without water. The burning sensation that lingered even after I took that tea. And my wrists — I stared down at them, the mark had disappeared, but the scar engraved in my mind still stayed. I had a clear mental picture of how deep the rope cut through my flesh. If Ethan didn't come, I would've been dead as soon as I was captured. My eyes dri

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Rescued

    ETHAN COLE I sat cross legged, glaring at the person who sat across the table from me.Silver hair. Gray eyes, and an audacity I couldn't quite place where he got from. Felix. He placed the rim of the tea cup to his lips, taking a long sip. He knew he was wearing down my patience.My hand reached for my gun, and in that moment, the cup dropped firmly to the table. “Niko, how long has it been? I trust you're having a terrible day!” His eyes lit up, a smile spreading across his face. That smug grin. I wanted to slap it off his face. Felix and I went way back… not in a good way. Aside Winnie who was a pain in the ass back at VAR academy, Felix had a knack for thinning my self control. Either he was looking for a way to make me get punished or he was just bored and found me interesting, I didn't know. I didn't care. “I'm not here to chat. Where's she?” One look at that letter, I recognized the handwriting immediately. It brought back memories I wanted to bury — he wrote i

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    Dreadful Event

    AVA DUVAL I was surrounded by thick darkness. The smell of rusted iron lingered in the air which made it difficult to tell my surroundings. The cloth around my eyes irritated my skin, causing my eyes to burn so that I had to shut them entirely. Both my hands were tied behind the chair I was placed in. The rope cut through my skin, but having spent the night here, I had gotten used to the biting pain. Cold pierced through my skin, my body shivered, but it was no use. Dried blood clung to the corners of my mouth, a feeling I still hadn't gotten used to. I coughed, hoping someone there was kind enough to get me a cup of water.My throat burned for a drop of water. My mouth had gone dry, and I could barely taste anything.I couldn't feel myself. As soon as my lower body moved, a burning sensation spread through my hand. The rope had moved.“Ahh…” I gasped in anguish, too scared to even cry. My mind could barely place the events of yesterday. It was as cloudy as a cold empty g

  • The Bodyguard's Secret    A Kidnap!

    ETHAN COLE My legs rested on the reading table, my back firmly balanced against the seat, as it rocked gently back and forth. I swiped endlessly through my chats with Winnie. Most of the time she sent voice notes stressing out about the customers at our make believe bar. The remaining messages were either questions about my day or her blubbering about how sweet Zero was. A small smile plastered on my lips, reading the last reply I gave her. Two weeks had flown by so quickly, and guilt had begun eating away at me like a cankerworm. I never ignored Winnie. Not after the incident in the snow. But if I wanted to achieve my selfish goals, she needed to be out of the equation — safe from a murderer like me. We each had our own share of murders, but she never for once turned her back on the people she so cared about. I swiped away from our conversations, and instead dialled Lily's number. She answered on the third ring. “Hey, Nikolai.” Her voice was always so tiny as though

    ETHAN COLEShe needed an explanation. Of course she needed one. I had never seen her so visibly annoyed to the extent of showing so much emotion. I took in a sharp breath, then it rushed out my lungs carelessly.“Here's dangerous. Let's head home,” I said bluntly, cursing myself for my terrible communication skills. Unlike Winnie, I couldn't communicate without throwing a punch or putting a bullet through someone's head. That was one of the reasons VAR liked me. Because I was a mess. Ava's eyes hardened, her back turning away from me.“I'm your employer, so I can easily fire you. Tell me why you dragged me out here.”Steam might as well have poured from her head. It felt as though we were trapped in an enclosed room with no window for air.Confessing about the note would set her into panic mode, and most especially blow up my cover. In other words, I had to lie.“Someone was following you,” I muttered, loud enough for her to hear. Ava's back suddenly stiffened. Slowly
