"First day at work and your new bodyguard is late," Cyrus said for the third time today….we decided to move to my dad's secret Villa for more security but I don't need just ordinary bodyguards. I need this Liam guy who is qualified in every way but just as Cyrus mentioned just now he is thirty minutes late
"He would get here soon Cyrus" I replied pacing around the sitting room
" Why are you nervous he is just a bodyguard," Cyrus said
"Am not nervous….it's just I pray he is qualified just as he listed earlier" I said and just then the bell rang as Cyrus beats me to the door and I quickly position myself like a boss on the sofa
"Fuck!!!!!!" Cyrus screamed paving way for my visitor
Now I know why Cyrus screamed that way, the guy was different everything about him was just amazing how can a guy this handsome still exist
"Olivia" Cyrus called…I can't believe I blanked out just now
"Huh," I said standing up
"Are you Liam?" I asked
"Yes ma'am…the new bodyguard you employed yesterday," he said
" You don't have to call her ma'am ..we might be age mates actually," Cyrus said flirting with my bodyguard
" Stop flirting with him…don't you know our lives are still at risk," I said pulling Cyrus to sit beside me so Liam is the only one standing
"Are you sure..you are good at what you do?" I asked trying to sound intimidating
" Am good at everything Miss Olivia" he responded with a little smile on his face….oh my Gosh he even has a cute dimple, what is this guy angel from heaven
"Okay please have a seat," I said pointing at the couch opposite us
"Don't worry am more comfortable this way" he said still smiling, he needs to stop smiling if he wants both of us to survive this
"You have a cute smile Liam" Cyrus commented, how could she that's my comment
" Thank you" he replied still smiling
"I thought bodyguards frown all the time," I asked
" Am not just your average bodyguard, am a special force operative" he replied now frowning…why did I even have to ask such stupid questions, maybe I was just jealous of Cyrus who is so good at asking questions
"You missed the former part..like former special force operative" Cyrus added I quickly pinch her to shut up
" Sorry…am just always curious" she added
"Now Liam let's get back to business…do you know this executioner guy?" I asked opening a file I made myself from all the research I made about this guy
"Yes I know about him ….he ruined a lot of influential people and he is so proud, that he labels his victims with his nickname" Liam replied now very serious than earlier
" Do you think he is doing this for money?" I asked he smirks
"The executioner doesn't demand money….if he wanted your money then all those people he killed wouldn't have died they would all just bribed their selves out of the situation" Liam replied going through the file I handed to him
" Where's your father?" He asked..his eyes glued on the file
"At work….he insisted on going" I replied feeling the fright from yesterday at the airport coming back
"And you are sure no one holds a huge grudge against your dad?" He asked
" No one I even begged my dad to spill the brand but he swore he had no enemies" I replied. Liam chuckled loudly
" Your enemies are always your friend you can never know them," he said dropping the file back down
" Is that all you got about this assassin?" He added pointing at the file he just dropped on the table
"Yes"
"We need to dig deeper…all this can't help, we need to know who is or at least who is working with," he said brushing his fingers through his hair, even when he is serious he is still so handsome
"But first I need to know all your schedule and where you and your dad are going so I can be ready beforehand…. Olivia, can you do that?" He added…awwwn my name sounds so nice with his muscular voice
"Olivia why don't you show him to his room," Cyrus said meaning I need to inform him that he would be staying with us
"You guys want me to stay?" He asked looking a bit shocked
"Duh…yes Liam, what if this assassin walks in the middle of the night and kills my dad or me or even Cyrus," I said
" Why didn't you tell me earlier…I didn't pack for such an occasion" he said
"Tonight we would go get your luggage and my dad," I said packing up my file
" Let me take you to your new room" I added ..he follows behind and Cyrus seems to be asking him a few questions
"Here" I pointed pulling Cyrus back to my side
"Thanks…I would try to settle down and then we talk better " he said before going to his new room
" Olivia look at him…am very sure he is going to do a great job," Cyrus said the minute we stepped into my room
" Stop thinking about Liam…we just met him today, " I said pinching her cheeks playfully
"You are a fun squash, Olivia," Cyrus said taking her phone to play games as usual
" Am not a fun squasher Cyrus….just don't flirt with yes he's hot and sexy but don't let him know you noticed that" I replied arranging my desk from last night's research
"Are you already drooling over him…he is your bodyguard hope you know that" Cyrus warned still scrolling through her phone
"Do you think Liam would be able to find this executioner?" I asked Cyrus joining her on the bed
" He looks fit so I guess so" she replied
"Let me check on him …it's awkwardly silent," I said before rushing out to spy on our new housemate
I knocked gently and heard a sound which I think was a come in response
"Liam" I called…he wasn't in his room. I pushed open the bathroom door and he wasn't there
"Where could he have entered just now?" I whispered to myself scanning the room for clues
" Are you looking for me" he whispered behind me making me shiver a little
"Where were you…how are you inside here without passing the door?" I asked rubbing my chest gently
" I came in through the window" he replied
"Why?"
"Because I had to scan your room windows and your house is a mansion so I had no choice but to try to protect the windows as quickly as possible"
" But there are no buildings around us it's not like the assassin would stand mid-air" I replied
" You underestimate this guy too much that's why he is playing tricks on you easily," he said
" What kind of trick?"
" He wants you to be under his control totally"
" But he killed the police officer"
" To make you more frightened of him," he said
" You need to be patient while I investigate, he won't do anything" he assured me
" Why are you underestimating him?" I asked
"Because I once worked as an assassin a long time ago and I know how to taunt a victim to their limit" he replied
" But you never added assassin to your qualifications"
" Because it's a secret of mine…I can't tell the world I use to kill people"
" But you told me just now"
" Because I work for you now and you are very curious about a lot of stuff" he replied going back to his laptop on the desk
" So do you have any more questions to ask?" He added
"I don't"
" Then why are you still here?" Ohh that's true I came to spy on him
"I would be leaving then," I said walking quietly away
"Okay," he said without even raising his head to look at me
"What took you so long!!" Cyrus yelled from the kitchen
"We were discussing something so I lost track of time" I replied joining her to prepare lunch
" I thought you were being a pro at spying"
"He caught me before I could do anything" I replied
" So what were you talking about"
" What could we possibly talk about other than the executioner…he told me I was too scared of the assassin and that's why he could easily manipulate me"
" I also thought so…we have never seen him before but just a letter is enough to give you a panic attack"
" I like Liam" Cyrus added when I didn't say anything
" You have been saying that ever since he arrived," I said getting a bit pissed off by her sincerity
" Don't you like him?" She asked
"I like his personality" I replied remembering how much he loves smiling even though he is an agent
#judge stone#
"And you still came to the office…aren't you scared he might kill you when you least expect it," my friend Mr. Ferdinand said …I couldn't keep it in so I decided to share it with him
"Am not scared of him because I know he can't do anything to me and mostly because am innocent that am sure of" I said going through my files
" Are you sure?" Ferdinand asked
" You are my friend..don't you trust me too, my daughter already doubts now you too"
" Don't say such stone….am just asking"
" Well trust me I know that am innocent and this killer is just threatening me," I Said
" Just be careful …I don't want you to be ignorant about this, this is your life at stake," Ferdinand said before leaving…I can't be scared just because he sent an arrow through my glass
My phone lit up showing Olivia's face…I pick up immediately
"Hello princess"
"Dad, where are you?" She asked
"Still at work.. "
" We are coming to pick you it's not safe out here Dad," she said
" Don't worry Olivia I would come back safely"
" Just let us pick you"
" Olivia stop worrying am not a child I can always find my way, we would talk later am busy now," I said hanging up before she could nag me any further
Olivia has been so worried about my safety ever since the airport issue and I don't know how to assure her that am innocent and that this is just a stupid plot to kill me for no specific reason.
"Olivia" I called the minute I got in I heard her screaming down the stairs as she rushes to hug me
"I was worried..why didn't you let me pick you up," she asked and just then I noticed a guy behind us he was unfamiliar
"Who is he?" I asked
"Our new bodyguard and a special agent who would help us concerning this assassin," she said
" Good evening Mr. Stone," the agent said
" What's your name?" I asked
"Liam" he replied
"Why hasn't he left yet?" I asked Olivia
"He lives here now…that way he can guard us better" she replied
" But we have enough guards"
" He is more qualified than the ones outside" she insisted…I can't accept this agent to live with us
" I thought we weren't supposed to trust anyone?" I said to her
" He signed a contract to protect with his whole life"
"That doesn't mean anything…I don't want him here" I said dropping my bag on the sofa
" Sir you can trust me with your life because I never let my clients down," he said
" It's not about that…I can't let a man leave in the same house as my daughter anything can happen"
" Dad"
" I promise sir…nothing would ever happen, am he
re to protect you guys and I would do just that please trust me," he said…I can't say no, Olivia must have gone through a lot to employ this agent and he seems to need the job….I can't object
"You made a promise Liam so make sure not to break it"
