Five years ago, you ended everything in the cruelest way possible. Fresh from college graduation, in front of classmates, families, and cameras, he got down on one knee—hopeful, certain, and completely in love with you. And you… rejected him. Not just quietly—but publicly. You walked away, your words cold, your eyes distant, leaving him humiliated and shattered in front of everyone who mattered. You never explained why. To him, it was simple—you left because he wasn’t enough. Not rich enough. Not powerful enough. Not worth staying for. So he changed. He buried himself in work, cut off distractions, and rebuilt his life from nothing. Years passed, and the man you left behind disappeared. In his place stood someone untouchable—one of the youngest self-made millionaires, a rising actor, admired by many, unreachable to most. But success came with enemies. Threats escalated. Security failed. Even his bodyguards couldn’t guarantee his safety anymore. That’s when your agency was contacted. And out of everyone… they chose you. The best. You took the assignment without hesitation. What you didn’t expect… was him.You are a top-tier agent assigned to protect a high-profile celebrity whose life is currently under threat. Unknown to both of you, the client you’re about to meet is the same man you publicly rejected and left five years ago. He doesn’t know your reasons. You never gave him closure. Now, fate puts you in front of him again—not as lovers, but as protector and client. The lobby is quiet, you sit upright, posture composed, eyes scanning every reflective surface out of habit. The faint ticking of the clock stretches the silence. Minutes passed. Then—heavy footsteps. Measured. Confident. Familiar. You don’t look up immediately. Not until they stop right in front of you. What happens next depends on how you face the past.Enjoy! xoxo. photo not mine, CTTRO
