The Secretly Rich Guard Chapter 77
David stared at his reflection in the mirror and cast a sharp glance at his wristwatch. It was already 7pm. He threw his head back and looked over his shoulder at the lady that was crouched over the bed behind him. She stood upright and flashed him a wide lipped smile.“How do I look?” She asked in soft voice.He ran his eyes from her hair down to her feet and his eyes went back to her face. His lips drew up in a smile as his hands squeezed into fists. This was exactly what he wanted. He always loved her to appear as beautiful as she could each time they had to go out together. It made him feel a certain level of authority and dominance each time he caught other men, leering with lust at her whenever they were out in public.“You look stunning as usual” He said, licking his lips. His eyes ran down to her boobs and settled there. She wore an off shoulder blouse that begun at the lower parts of her shoulder, showing her perfect neck bone and the soft rise of her chest.She blushed. Then

Elise and her mother arrived at the scene of the party just after it had begun. At first, people stood around in groups of twos and threes as they chatted amongst themselves. The party was an outdoor one and its location was a short distance away from the sea which surrounded the island.There were multicolored light bulbs which hung overhead on different poles. The ambience at the party scene was a calm and beautiful one. Almost everyone seemed excited to be there. After Elise arrived at the party, a few people approached her to take pictures of her but her mother turned them down immediately and ordered Elise to go over to the seat that had been specially decorated for her.It was not long before the MC of the party came on the stage and announced that the party was about to swing into action. He explained that in a few minutes time, the celebrant and any significant male figure in her life would have to open up the dance floor as they would dance before the rest of the couples pre

When he reached her, he tapped her back and she swung around. Surprise settled in her eyes as she met him. She eyed the girl who stood next to him and looked back at David’s face.“So, you came?” She asked him.He rolled his eyes, “Of course, I came. Did you expect me not to?” he snapped.“I need to talk to you about so many things. Us, actually” She told him in a firm voice.David rubbed his hands in front of him. This was the part of Elise that he never liked. The way she felt like she could order him around and tell him what to do. He ignored what she said. “You’re quite beautiful tonight.” He told her “Happy birthday”Elise nodded and turned away to meet one of her relatives who had just called her.David remained rooted to the spot as he watched the guys who were playing games at the table next to him.A while later, the Mc of the party asked the DJ to stop the music. A groan of displeasure rose up from the crowd.The Mc laughed until the microphone in his hands and said, “I am c

Elise edged backwards and she sat on a chair behind her. Tears shone in her eyes and she could feel herself tearing apart. She felt empty inside—more like cold.The cool evening breeze caressed her skin and painfully reminded her of where she was: Out at the beach in the Edge Ville island, in her beautiful birthday dress and a broken heart, in shock over a cheating boyfriend.It was really unfair for her, she reasoned. She had tears streaming down her face as a small crowd of people watched her.She blinked rapidly and her breathing pace increased. Her eyes darted to her left as she looked at the spot where her mother was seated earlier.She was no longer there. A jabbing headache throbbed at the back of her head as she bent over and held it in her palm.She felt dizzy as a result of how fast things had taken a different turn. Only a short while earlier, David had been in front of the crowd, praising her in flattering words and telling the entire guest at her party about how much he

Susan pulled her daughter close and she placed her chin on Elise’s head. She was bigger and taller than Elise. “Can you just calm down, Honey?” She pleaded with Elise who had not stopped crying ever since they got into the lodge.Elise was now sweaty, beads of perspiration lined up on her forehead while the back of her gown stuck to her in sweat. As Elise sobbed, her body whole shoke.“Do you want us to talk about it right now?” Her mother asked in a calm voice. She had her arms wrapped around Elise’s small shoulders and she rubbed a finger down her back, turning it in circles.Elise broke out into a loud wailing, “All I did was suspect that girl that had been clinging to him ever since they arrived at the party, Mum” she cried.Her mother nodded in silence and pulled out a small, white handkerchief from her purse. Then, she leaned close to Elise an dabbed her face with the handkerchief.Susan knew exactly how to handle her daughter’s tears. She would encourage her talk as much as sh

The room was quiet after Susan left.. Elise could hear the sound of her foot steps as she walked away.The throbbing pain at the back of her head had lessened and she was now a bit stable. She sniffed, wiped her nose with the tissue paper which she had found on the brown cabinet in lodge. Her first thought was to fall into the bed and sleep away the pains and heartbreak which she had experienced that evening but, she realized she really needed to have answers, especially from David.She had so many questions to ask him and she decided to go after him and have a heart to heart conversation with him. She had an underlying feeling that David was drunk at the party at the time he confronted her and spoke to her harshly.She straightened her gown, took one last look at her reflection in the mirror and walked out of the lodge.When she stepped out, clutching her small purse in her hands, the music at the party scene was no longer playing and she could only hear the loud voices of a few peo

After a few minutes, Elise felt her phone vibrate on her thighs. She picked it up. The phone’s screen lit up. There was an incoming call displayed across the screen of the phone.When Elise realized who was calling, she drew in a long, hissing sigh. Richard glanced at her from where he was seated at the extreme end. He eyed her with wary, watching as she ended the call and placed the phone on the car seat before she turned her face away.Soon, the phone began to vibrate again. It lasted for several seconds before it ended. Soon, the car was filled with silence as each occupant—Elise, Richard and the driver—were all lost in their thoughts.Richard was mostly concerned about Elise. After weeks of watching her closely, he was worried about how soft hearted and sensitive she was. He had caught her twice in her most vulnerable stars and he worried the more about how she would be able to handle the pain that her confrontation with David would bring to her.Just as he turned away to look at

He clenched his teeth and tried to control himself from throwing a punch at the security man for stopping him from going after Elise.“Who let Elise out of the residence?” He asked in a cold tone.The security guard lifted a shoulder in a shrug and threw his hands up in the air, “ well, I did that. She said she was going to get some drugs outside the residence.”“That only shows how gullible you are. I am her personal security guard and I’ve been given the responsibility of looking after Elise and protecting her from every danger out there” Richard paused to look at the confused face of the other man.The garage was deathly cold. It felt as though both men were standing inside a cooling refrigerator. As they spoke to each other, cold air made its way out of their mouths and it went into thin air.Richard continued talking. His voice was strained “All I’m saying right now is that you did not ascertain the exact place that Elise was going to before you let her out at this ungodly hour o

The next few days went by in a whir of emotions for Elise and Richard. As Richard drove down the sunny road, Elise’s nerves were palpable. She fidgeted with her fingers and sighed deeply. “Are you okay?”Elise spoke up, her voice laced with worry. “My Mom is going to be disappointed in me, she had always envisioned something else for me.”Richard turned and met her eyes. “We have nothing to lose, Elise. We love each other, and that’s all that matters. Elise, don’t worry. It’ll be okay. We’ve got this.”“I just don’t want her to be disappointed in me. I feel like I should have told her before now,” Elise replied, her voice wavering.Richard took one hand off the steering wheel to reach over and take Elise’s hand.“She loves you, Elise. She’ll be happy for you once she sees how happy we are.”Elise squeezed Richard’s hand and smiled. “You’re right. I’m probably just overthinking it.”As they arrived at the residence, they were welcomed by the high gates that led to the luxurious mansi

James’ wife, Susan, had been sitting quietly during Richard’s announcement, but as soon as he spoke the words “Hûlio is my father,” her eyes widened in shock. She had always assumed Richard was a lost cause, coming from a poor family and with no connections to speak of. But now, it seemed, he was from a wealthy bloodline.Susan’s first instinct was to make up for her previous bad character by offering something valuable to Richard. “Richard, my daughter Elise is also unmarried. I propose that you take her as your wife,” she said, smiling sweetly.Richard was taken aback by the sudden proposal. He had been secretly dating Elise for months, but Susan didn’t know that. He shook his head, declining politely. “Thank you for the offer, but I cannot accept. I have other plans.”Susan’s smile faltered for a moment before she put on a gracious façade once again. “Of course, I understand. We will do everything we can to help you reconnect with your family,” she said, still trying to make up for

The rich office of Hûlio was a grand affair, decked with lavish furnishings and ornate decorations. The walls were adorned with artwork and photographs of his family, giving a glimpse into the life of luxury that he lived. A large mahogany desk dominated the center of the room, on which sat an array of expensive gadgets and trinkets.Hûlio sat at his desk, pouring over old family documents when Rue entered the room.“Sir, I received a rather peculiar email today,” she said.Hûlio looked up from the papers and raised a questioning eyebrow.“It seems that an anonymous person claims to have found your lost son,” Rue continued.Hûlio’s eyes widened in surprise. “My son? But he was kidnapped when he was only 10 years old. How could he be found now?”“That’s what the sender of the email claims, sir. They are requesting a meeting at an open field to prove their claims,” Rue explained. Hûlio leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette, his thoughts racing. Could this be real? Could his long

As Elise stepped into her room, she closed the door behind her, making sure that her boyfriend Richard’s palm tree-patterned shirt was folded and placed beside her bed. The dim light from the bedside lamp created a peaceful atmosphere that made her feel relaxed. The apartment was small but cozy, with walls decorated with various paintings of the sunset, flowers, and the Eiffel Tower. She walked towards the mirror, and she could see her reflection, appreciating how her olive-toned skin glowed. She was wearing a cream tank top and her hair was tied in a bun.As she began her skincare routine, she applied her favorite cleanser in circular motions, ensuring it was thoroughly massaged into her skin. A faint fragrance of lavender from the lotion she was using soon filled the room. She enjoyed the calmness of the room as the music from the speaker on the shelf played softly in the background.As she continued massaging her face, her phone rang. Elise hesitated, assuming it was probably her

As Elise cuddled close to Richard, she felt the warmth of his body and the softness of the blanket they shared. They made small talk about the movie, commenting on the plot and the scares. Despite the creepy atmosphere, they both felt relaxed in each other’s company.However, as Richard stayed up after Elise went to bed, the mood in the room changed. His thoughts turned to the stranger he had bumped into at the airport, and the picture of his face kept flashing in his mind. The news about Sly being a direct heir of Hulio Adiento added to the sense of unease in the room. The image of Hulio’s face on the TV screen sent shivers down Richard’s spine as he tried to make sense of the coincidence.Lost in thought, Richard eventually headed to bed with a sinking feeling, wondering what the next day would bring.As Richard stepped out of his house, the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and a cool breeze blew across his face. He closed the door behind him, took a deep breath and started walk

It was not long before avoiding his work calls and watching the news in fear that he might be wanted by the police. His room was dark and messy, with clothes piled up on the floor and empty bottles scattered around. He didn’t care about anything anymore, not even himself.His thoughts were disturbed, swirling around in his head like a storm. He couldn’t believe what he had done, and he didn’t know how to face the consequences. All he knew was that he was a monster, and that he deserved to be punishedAfter two days of locking himself in his apartment he decided to speak up about what he has done and he visited his family house very early the following morning.One thing that had always in endeared him to this house where he spent most of his childhood was that it reeked of wealth. Sly’s family home was a mansion surrounded by lush green gardens, a swimming pool, and a fleet of luxury cars parked outside. The front door was adorned with a grand entrance, and the marble floors shimmer

It took a while before he could lift her off the wet ground and trudge through the quiet woods to the main road where his police vehicle had been parked. He carefully opened it up and out her in the back seat before he ran over to the other side of the car and got into the driver’s seat.He took her to the hospital immediately, where she was treated for her injuries and given a rape kit.As she lay in the hospital bed, Elise’s mind was consumed by the horror of what had happened. She couldn’t believe that Sly, someone she had trusted so deeply, could have done something so vile.The following morning, Hanna laid on the hospital bed, her body feeling violated and her mind consumed with the memory of the brutal attack. Her eyes were closed, but she wasn’t asleep – she was lost in thought, replaying the incident over and over in her head.The room was quiet except for the soft hum of medical equipment. The walls were painted a pale blue, and there was a small window that looked out onto

He tugged harder on her belt, her body pressing up further against his. He grabbed her hair in his fist and balled it up. He drew her head back and looked at her. She began to cry, to plead.“Please don’t,” She said. “Please.”“Shut up.”He kissed her again and this time, he inserted his tongue in her mouth. By pleading, she had left herself open to this. Again he pulled her head back roughly. “Kiss back,” he said.And I did.When he was satisfied, he stopped and tried to work the latch on Her belt. It was a belt with a strange buckle and he couldn’t figure it out. To have him let go of her, for him to leave her alone, she said, “Let me, I’ll do it.”He watched her.When she was done, he unzipped the jeans she wore.“Now take off your shirt.”She had a cardigan sweater on. She took that off. He reached over to help unbutton her shirt. He fumbled.“I’ll do it,” She said again.She unbuttoned the oxford-cloth shirt and, like the cardigan, She peeled it back from her body. It was like

He stated down at her with so much intensity in his eyes.It terrified the hell out of her as crossed both legs over her and sat on her thigh.“What are you trying to do? I need—” She got cut off as his strong palms came heavily on her mouth, sitting out her voice. “Hanna!” Sly growled. “Can you not see that I am madly in love with you?” He said His voice reverberated through the woods and bounded back to them.Cold sweat trickled down the Hanna’s neck as she locked eyes with himShe was numb.He released his hand from her mouth.I screamed. Quickly. Abruptly.The struggle began. She rose her feet in difficulty.He covered her mouth again. He kneed her in the back of her legs so that she would fall down. “You don’t get it, Hanna. I have fallen in love with you and if I don’t taste you first I will not be happy when I leave the island” He said in a bitter voice She struggled some more, trying to push off his weight from her almost tired body.His threat rang out into the air. It was
