The Bodyguard

Chapter 46

As he finished, he made the strangest face. "Babe, that was amazing." 

 "It was fine. Now, get up and get dressed. I have a lot of shit to do so leave."

 "Y-you want me to leave?"

 "Yes."

 "I can keep you company." 

 "Get out of my house, Tatiana." He left the room and heads to his office. She watched him with shock. The hurt is written clearly on her face, but she obeys him. After fixing her hair and analyzing herself, she shut the door behind her. He's feeding her lines of bullshit like he did to me for years! The poor girl is falling for it like I did. He's just using her. I quietly opened the door and peered out. I didn't hear any movement. Before I could walk out, a pair of heels sounded from the hallways, towards the bedroom. I ran back into the closet as quietly and quickly as possible.

 A moment later, the door opens. I peer through the window and see Tatiana walk back into the room. She searched the room to find her scarf and just as she got it, we both heard Adam's voice coming down from the hall. His laugh is loud, making Tatiana peak around the door. He must be on the phone. 

"No, no, you don't have to do that. But I will tell you that last night was better than I expected." The tone of voice he's using makes me cringe in disgust, and Tatiana looked confused but still listens. "Who knew Olivia Banks wasn't just the Queen of Gossip, but the queen of other things as well." He laughs again. "You have no idea how much I enjoyed the surprise last night. The things you can do with that sexy mouth of yours." 

 Resisting the urge to gag, I see his assistant's face turn into pain as she realizes what's happening. "A repeat? Beautiful, you read my mind. How does tonight sound?" His assistant to my shock screams, nearly making me trip over a pair of shoes on the floor. "ADAM!" She slams her purse into the door and screams again. He storms into the room and she stumbles back, her face angry. 

"I have to call you back." He hangs up and grabs her shoulders, pushing her hard into the door. 

"How could you!" 

 "I don't know what you think you heard.."

 "You told me you had an important meeting you had to go to tonight!" 

 Adam's hands wrap around her throat, shutting her up. "Let go of me!" She shoves him away and storms down the steps, slamming the door shut. Holy shit. Who the hell was I married to? 

As the house goes completely silent, I go down the hallway and walk down the stairs. As I run for the door, I bump into Adam. "Charlotte?" The shock in his voice is completely clear. 

 "Hey." 

 He kissed me and smiled. "What are you doing here, beautiful?" 

 "I needed to clear some things up with you."

 "Like?"

 "WHY DID YOU FAKE MY DEATH!" 

 He raised his eyebrows. "To keep the press from bothering me." 

 I looked at him with anger. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN FUCKING WIFE!" 

 He shrugged. "Makes my life easier." 

 "Fuck you." I saw him get something out of his open briefcase. "What are you..." 

 He lifted a gun and pointed it at her head. "Please don't Adam, please..." 

 "Guess Garcia wasn't that good of a bodyguard, eh?" "Please, I love y..." Without listening, he fired the gun.
