Chapter 1:The call
Elena’s P.O.V
Ring Ring Ring
My alarm blared off, waking up the already awoken me up. I stared at the ceiling of my room not bothered by the noise my alarm was making.
I closed my eyes inhaling a large amount of oxygen and exhaling it back, I open my eyes and sat down on the bed for some time before i decided to off my alarm, I stood up and went to the bathroom, I subconsciously touched my tattoo,
I can still feel the pain i felt all those years ago
I smiled looking at the mirror, that’s all in the past and i am determined to move on.
I got naked and washed my body,
' ping ' I got a notification from my phone
A message from my best friend
I smile reading the message
" hey babes, how are you today? I pray you are not recommended to anyone who needs a bodyguard….. love from Betty ;)"
" morning to you mum, I pray your prayers don’t get answered :] love from your daughter " I sent my reply and dropped my phone
I went to the kitchen with my towel wrapped around my body, I opened the fridge and I had my mouth hanging
There’s no food, I groaned getting angry. I hadn’t eaten anything since yesterday and I was hoping to eat something this morning. I don’t mind eating anything right now.
I ran upstairs and change into a loose pant and a hoodie, I look unkept and suspicious and I love it.
I took my purse and left the house after making sure it was locked.
The nearest store is 30 minutes away, I walk down the clean road and I love the the feel of the cold on my skin. I was never once a lover of cold places, I always loved staying in warm places, I loved getting warm until two years ago
It was as if life was letting me know i was not meant to get warm and comfortable.
I was lost in thought and I didn’t realize I already passed the store, I was already walking on the main road and was almost hit by a car.
Being a bodyguard my reflexes are so good and I quickly evade the car. The car stopped and the driver came out, he asked if I was ok and i was frustrated
' i was almost hit by a car how can I be okay ' I muttered
“ I’m fine " " I’m so sorry, I wasn’t looking at the road " I added quickly wanting to go back to the store cause now my stomach is fighting a war
I didn’t wait for his reply before I started walking back to the store, not that I meant to be rude.
Zephyr’s P.O.V
I opened my eyes, I can hear the sound of monitor beeping. I still feel dizzy and pain in my rib.
" where am i? " I asked no one in particular but I know my secretary or driver will be around
" you are awake sir " I heard my driver’s voice
" I will go get the nurse " he added running out of the room
I try sitting up and my ribs hurt so bad, I must have broken my ribs in the accident.
The doctor rushed in, he looks like he was brought here by a tornado
" what’s wrong? Were you chased by a cheetah? " I asked him " make sure you are ok before you touch me " I added. I wince in pain from talking too much
" Mr Zephyr Rome Chadwick "the doctor, my friend, Jack Edward shouted my name
" what ? Is this how you treat your patient, shouting at them ?" I ask him feigning anger
He looks at me like he was about to cry
" what ? " I asked him
" Zephyr " he called my name " you don’t know how worried I was, I thought something bad might happen to you. You were brought in a critical condition yesterday " he added almost crying
" I couldn’t rest and I was restless because I was restless and couldn’t rest and…."
" you are still saying the same thing " I said looking at him dumbfounded
" I know, I am just trying to let you know how restless i was " he replied cleaning his fake tears
" please get Mr Chadwick’s food and some new clothes " he said turning to my driver
" yes Mr Edward " my driver replied bowing slightly as he turned and left the room
" you need to get a bodyguard, and I will get you one… today " Jack said touching my ribs
" I don’t need one " i replied him
He only looked at me. Jack became serious as soon as my driver left
" You were hit pretty bad but you are healing nicely. I may have exaggerated earlier and your broken rib will heal soon " Jack told me
" that’s good to know " " so when am i getting discharged? " I asked him
" Today, you just need to come to the hospital frequently to check how nicely your rib is healing " he smiled at me
" are you sure i’m good to go or you just don’t want me in your hospital? " I asked him raising my eyebrow
He didn’t say anything and just smiled
" I knew it " I scoffed at him
" so, who is the enemy you offended? " Jack asked the most important question
" I don’t know " I simply replied
I also don’t know who I offended that would want to kill me
My driver, Mr Lee came back and I got dressed. Jack gave me some drugs and a written instruction
" is this really necessary? " I grunted as he spank my ass
" it’s not proper to spank your patient’s ass " I added as I entered the car
" You are an exemption " he said making a stupid face
The ride home was full of my thought
Who could have tried to kill me? I don’t think i offended anyone except….. no one, I am sure i haven’t offended anyone
Maybe it’s an old enemy?
I look up just in time to see a lady walking on the road
She looked up and was also surprised
She must have been lost in thought
Mr Lee quickly tried stopping the car and I was surprised by what I saw next
It’s as if I was watching an action movie,
She made a triple back flip and landed in a Jackie Chan style.
“ what is a Jackie Chan style? " I asked myself
I don’t know, I probably said that cause Jackie Chan’s movies are the only action movies I watch
Mr Lee went out to meet the lady, I turned my head back to see if she was okay
The hoodie she wore covered her face and the only thing I saw was her ginger brown hair.
She stood up and rushed off after saying something to Mr Lee.
Elena’s P.O.V
I got home and I wasn’t hungry anymore, I already ate the noodles I planned on cooking raw on my way home. I drop the groceries on the kitchen counter and went upstairs to change my cloth
I took off the hoodie and I started taking of the trouser midway when my phone started ringing.
I stood up forgetting that i haven’t fully take off my trouser, I got to the staircase and I stumbled rolling down the stairs
" ouch " I winced out loud
That hurts
I stood up still not removing the trouser as I walked to pick the call
" Hello, is this Elena Kirby " the caller asked
" yes, she is me "I replied still robbing my head
" This is from Fort Knox Secure Sentinels "
Hearing the name the pain i was feeling suddenly healed ,
" ok….." I replied waiting for the caller to drop the bomb
" you have to resume tomorrow " the caller added
" ok….." I replied him still waiting for a clear answer
" you’ve got the job " the caller finally replied
I breathed out, I didn’t even know I held my breath
" thank you " I replied and i hang up the phone
I was about to run upstairs when I fell down again
But this time I wasn’t feeling any pain because
' I had gotten the job '.
