CHAPTER 2- PATROL PAUL
1081 Words
AMELIA'S POV
Dad had a secret bodyguard.
Bodyguard that he kept secret all this time.
But why ? I will have to find out.
Now I can understand why he always acted strange, to an extent, I had to report him to Dad, but Dad said nothing about it because he already knew who he was.
"I'm known as Patrol Paul, but my name is just Paul.
I am your dad's bodyguard, but I am now your bodyguard also. He said.
His face was void of any expression. He looked at me without saying a word and I also couldn't say anything. I was speechless.
" You cannot be my bodyguard. "
" You were the one that came to kill me that night, so how can you be a bodyguard to someone you wanted to kill "
I said to him in anger.
"Yes, Miss Amelia, I was the one that night. But I didn't come to kill you. "
"Then who are you?"
"Why were you there that night?"
"Why would my dad make you a secret Bodyguard?"
All these questions I asked, and I wanted answers from him because I was confused and at the same time afraid.
"OK, let me answer your questions because I can see you are confused."
" Like I said before, I am known as Patrol Paul, but my real name is just Paul. "
" The reason why your dad made me his secret Bodyguard is that he knew he had enemies, and he wanted me to guard him and, most importantly, you, Amelia Lopez, secretly without anyone knowing."
I was not that surprised Dad did that, but I am surprised at the fact that a driver was my dad's most trusted bodyguard.
"The reason why I was there was because."
He paused and looked at me like he was afraid to say whatever he wanted to say to me.
"Am listening. You can go ahead." I said that to get his attention, so he knows I was still itching to hear everything that happened that night.
" I only guarded your dad when he employed me at first because I knew he needed it more than you,
" You were still a child then."
" But as time went on, he suspected that someone was after you, he needed you to be protected because you were his everything."
" He told me to start guarding you instead of him. I didn't like the idea because I knew other guards could do that, but your dad trusted me a lot. That's why he told me to be the one to do it."
I kept an expressionless face because I did not know how to react, everything he was telling me looked like a story.
I looked at him like I wanted to eat him up. I laughed at myself.
He continued,
" I started shadowing you secretly, and I found out that you were even more surrounded by enemies than your father. "
" Because why? You trust people a lot."
When he said that, a tear slipped from my eyes and I wiped it off immediately.
"I didn't come here to be weak," I said to myself angrily.
"You don't have to cry, Miss Lopez, I will make sure everything is alright.
I promised your Dad, so don't worry." He said to me like a Father
"Continue with what you were saying." I said in a commanding voice because I was annoyed with myself.
" Your fiancé, and your stepmother and sister, you trusted these people a lot and that's why you didn't see it coming. "
" I knew from the onset that these people could not be trusted, especially your stepmother and sister. That is why your dad lived separately from them. "
" But you loved these people so much. I could say otherwise, but I didn't care that much because I never knew they could do such a thing. I was also surprised. "
" Before I could dig deep into them, it was too late. They had everything planned out already. "
" You were drugged, and your photos from the hotel with a man have already circulated like wildfire. "
" I tried fixing it, but your father's accident made everything difficult and hell for me. "
" So I focused more on protecting you, then I discovered that they sent abductors to kidnap you for slave
Trade, where you will be sold into s*x trafficking." He said to me.
I couldn't believe my ears, I was just looking at him with my eyes wide open.
"Do they hate me that much?" I asked myself.
"Just because of Dad's property, they didn't think twice before doing that."
Now I have more reason to take revenge on them, and I will stop at nothing till I have succeeded in
doing so. I said to myself, determined.
He paused and looked at me to see if I was taking the information lightly, which of course I was.
" I am done crying for these heartless people. " I said to myself.
Then he took a deep breath and continued with what he was saying.
" That's why I took you out of the city. It was the best thing I could do at that time. "
"And I couldn't achieve that without them suspecting me, so in order to make them believe me, I made it look like you were dead. "
" Then I sent you out of the country to go stay with my parents. "
I told them you were dead, and I would dispose of your body, and they believed me. Then I got you out of this country and changed your name and everything about you.
He told me. From his expression, he was feeling down already after his explanation.
"The good thing was that they didn't know I was not the person that was sent to them to do the job, because I killed the person and finished everything myself. He said lastly.
I sat down unable to move an inch, I was emotionally drained and exhausted from everything I had just heard from him.
I didn't know how to react because the information I just heard was too much.
I am grateful and I owe him my life.
"And I doubted this man," I whispered to myself.
"Can't wait to hear the plan because I will make them pay. "
