THE BODYGUARD WHO TAMED THE TRILLIONAIRE CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Caden's PovI drove at the speed of light.Fuck traffic. Fuck the police. Fuck everybody. I needed to know the goddamn truth. My eyes burned with tears and I let them slip down my cheeks. How could they be the same person? Just how was that possible? Did Asher do this to get back at me? Oh God.I stopped at a red light and used the few seconds I had to collect my thoughts. Why? Just why did Asher do that? Why?!I didn't notice when the light turned green because a car honked behind me.“Get your car out of the way if you ain't gonna drive?!” The driver hissed from his car.I cleared my throat and started the car, driving towards Carrington. In a few minutes, I'll know the truth. I'll know how much of a liar Asher was and how stupid I was to believe him.I arrived at Carrington in record time and tossed the car keys to the valet. “Welcome, Mr. Booker.” The Middle-Eastern valet said with a humble bow.“Thanks, Abdul,” I gave him a generous tip and walked into the lobby. Let's get thi

Caden's PovThe only thing keeping me from bursting into flames is the fact that Bella won't stop purring in my arms.A chorus of “Beautiful!” and “Turn left, Jeremy!” fill the studio air. I sat in my director's chair as I watched Ferdinando work his magic. When I'd called him to manage the campaign’s visuals, he had been more than happy to oblige. Of course, I was skeptical about the whole thing working out in the end but a Booker never gives up and I've got a score to settle with Gus.A bathroom break and two cups of coffee later, the photoshoot was over.“He's a natural,” Ferdinando gestured to Jeremy. “It's such a shame he had to be caught in that mess.”“Yeah.” I sighed.“Well, things will work out after the editing. People will be so shocked they wouldn't recognize Jeremy.” Ferdinando smiled. I smiled back because I trusted him. Ferdinando was the best and when the best gives you a promise, all you have to do I'd sit back and watch the magic happen. He gave me a pat on the sho

Caden's PovI didn't look at Asher. Hell, I didn't care what he thought about me right now. I hate him and I never want to see him again. “Hey, you okay?” Jeremy asked as we walked away from the food truck.“Yeah.” I shrugged, biting into my hotdog.“You sure?” He passed me a napkin. “Did you fight with Asher? I hope I'm not the problem.”“Trust me, you're not the problem here.” I laughed.“Then,” his brows pinched. “Why did he look really upset?”“It's just a little argument. We'll fix it.” We never will.“Okay.”I'd barely gotten another bite when my phone buzzed in my pocket. “Hold this.” I passed him my hotdog and reached for my iPhone. The Caller ID was the least person I expected — Grandma.“Caden, darling.” she greeted the second I answered.“Hi, nana.” I forced a smile. What does she want now? “Hey. Are you busy right now?” She asked.“Um… not really. What's wrong?” “Nothing is wrong. I just called to inform you of your pre-wedding photos.” She announced like it was the n

Caden's PovThe Chapel retail store was buzzing with the soft echoes of Ed Sheeran's Sapphire and the faint honks of cabs outside. I'd missed this place.Asher, Giovanna, and I had returned from Grandma's over the weekend. While Asher decided to stick his nose heaven-knows-where, I decided to leave the house for some fresh air and some clothes. It might've been rude of me to leave our newly imported wedding bands from Russia on his office desk but I don't care how he feels. I care about shopping.The scent of perfume wafted through the air and everywhere I looked was an explosion of colour. Why hadn't I visited this place? Oh right. I was busy saving myself from an assassin while getting married at the same time. Shakespeare would faint if I told him the drama I'm going through right now.The Chapel was my favourite brand followed by Louis Vuitton. A few weeks ago before my life went to hell, I'd come here anytime I needed a breather. Sometimes, it worked. The shopping spree always p

Asher's Pov I twirled the whiskey in my glass as I stared unblinking at the screen. Caden's car hasn't come in. I remembered watching him drop the wedding band on my desk. After our little squabble in the kitchen, we went our separate ways — him, shopping and me in the Control Room. I remember watching him linger in my office before he walked away. He wanted me to be there when he left the ring. Did he miss me? The gates parted and his car drove in. Finally. I pushed back my seat and walked out of the room. I didn't care if Frisbee or Adam found it suspicious. All I wanted was Caden. “You got way too many shoes.” Gasbty complained as they entered the living room. “So? Sue me.” Caden smiled but the smile dried up when he saw me. “Oh Asher. There you are. Please, help me with some bags. Caden shopped way too much today.” She chuckled nervously I let out a low grunt and went with her to get the shopping bags. God, there were lots of them. They filled both the backseat an
