The Bodyguard

Chapter 49

The audience is dead silent. "Hey, Olivia." Tatiana sits down and crosses her legs, ignoring Adam's gaze. "Thank you so much for having us." 

 "Of course Mrs. Lexington!" 

 "As a side note, ma'am, it's a Miss now. Mr. Lexington is soon to be a single man so he can be a greedy arrogant prick to someone else." 

The audience gasped. "Well, we're honored for you to share your story!" 

 "What the hell is going on?" Adam asked in confusion. Olivia ignores him as well. 

"I'm sure it was hard finding time having your ex-husband fake your own death." 

 "Believe me, I know and I got sick and tired of the LIES!"

 Adam stands up and walks over to me, pointing a finger at me. "Who is this fake? She isn't my wife." 

 I laughed. "You're right. Not anymore!" I showed him the ring on my finger. "I found someone else."

 "What?! But.." 

 "Shut up, Adam." Tatiana said. "We've had enough of your lies." 

 "Why in the hell are you not in prison?! You attempted to murder someone! Police! Stage crew!" He searches the audience. "Can someone please remove these women from the stage immediately?!" 

 Olivia Banks looks directly at the camera. "Yes, you heard it here first. Charlotte Harrington is not dead, and she isn't a fake. Trust me, we checked her credentials." 

 I smirk and she laughs. "When I received a phone call from someone claiming to be Charlotte Lexington, I almost couldn't believe it. I thought it was a hoax, but someone else told me otherwise. I agreed to meet her, and when she told me what's been going on... Well, I'll let these women speak for themselves. Ladies, I'm sure the audience would agree with me that we're dying to hear the real story." 

 Tatiana looked at me and smiles. "Would you like to do the honors, Charlotte?" 

 "With pleasure."

 I rushed home to have Jamie turn on the TV. "I saw it babe, I watched the whole thing and you did amazing! I think the best part was him getting handcuffed."

 I laughed. "I agree." 

 "You are one incredible woman babe. You're so brave."

 I blush and kiss him. "I had to be a superhero at least one time." 

 He laughed. "I can't wait to make you my wife." 

 "I do have baggage, a complicated relationship with my parents and.." 

 "I don't care. I love you for who you are baby."

 "Even with my baggage?" 

 "Being with you for the rest of my life is all I want." He leans down, and his lips come crashing into mine. "I love you, Charlotte."

 "I love you too, Jamie."
