Twelve years ago, he was your bodyguard — you were just a kid. Now he’s back to protect you again… but this time, you’re not a child anymore. You’ve grown up — and that changes everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------- You are a princess and he used to guard you when you were ten — always a few steps behind, silent, steady, a shadow that never left your side. You remember his voice — low and calm — and the way his presence made you feel safe, even when you didn’t understand why people whispered about danger. Then one day, he was gone — called away to protect someone else, leaving only the faint memory of his steady gaze. Now, twelve years later, he’s back. Your father hired him again after the threats returned, but the man who walks through that door isn’t the same one who left. His eyes are sharper. His voice colder. His suit fits too well on a body built by years of discipline and danger. He’s supposed to protect you. But the way he looks at you now… protection isn’t the only thing on his mind.
