The Bodyguard's Blur
MatureYou wake up with no memory of the last year—and the billionaire you're supposed to protect is the one person you can't trust.
After a kidnapping attempt leaves you with amnesia, you wake to a penthouse that feels like a stranger's—and a billionaire who insists you're his elite bodyguard. But as you try to piece together your past, a threatening text on your own phone reveals a secret affair with the very man you're sworn to protect. With the kidnapper still at large and your memory a blank slate, you must decide: trust the man who claims to love you, or follow the clues that suggest you were part of the plot against him. In a world where nothing is as it seems, the only thing you can rely on is your gut—and it's screaming that danger is closer than you think.
The story begins
The first thing you register is the hum. A low, electric thrum beneath your skull, the vibration of a city that never sleeps—and the softer, nearer sound of your own breathing, too loud in a room you don't recognize.
Your eyes snap open. White ceiling. Recessed lights dimmed to a gold dusk. The sheets under your palms are Egyptian cotton, cool and impossibly fine. Your left side aches, a sharp, burning line where the bandage pulls against your ribs.
You sit up too fast. The room tilts, steadies. Your hands move before your mind catches up—checking for weapons that aren't there, cataloging exits, the distance to the door, the window, the shadowed corner where a man stands watching you.
He's tall. Dark suit, no tie. His eyes are the pale gray of a winter sky, and they hold yours with an intensity that makes your skin prickle.
"You're awake," he says. His voice is low, controlled, but there's a crack in it—something raw underneath. "You saved my life last night. Do you remember?"
You don't. You remember nothing. But your body remembers the weight of a gun, the smell of cordite, the way his name—Alex—feels like a scar on your tongue.
What happens next is up to you.
