After Harrison had called her, Isabella rushed to get ready. Isabella stood in front of her big mirror in her apartment. She put on a full face of makeup.

First she applied light foundation, then eye shadow, and finally red lipstick. She wanted to look perfect.

Her grandfather had told her she was getting a personal bodyguard. He said it was important for her safety, but he did not tell her the name of the said bodyguard. Isabella had no idea it was Harrison.

When her phone rang and she saw an

    The next day, Harrison’s phone rang when he was done showering at the room Isabella had given to him, Isabella had knocked and told him to come out for breakfast when his phone rang.He picked the call since it was from his butler. “Sir, I have news about Miss. Mia. She did not go to the meeting with President Greta today.”Harrison’s brows creased. “What do you mean she didn’t go?”“Her assistant Lily haven’t heard from Miss Mia after she left the office looking disturbed. I think this has something to do with Miss. Janet’s visit last night.”Harrison’s face hardened. He already knew Janet was capable of dirty tricks. He did not wait for more details. “Keep me informed of Mia’s location after you successfully track her.”“Understood,”Harrison quickly grabbed his coat and rushed out of the room. Isabella turned her gaze from the dining chair where she had been waiting for Harrison.“Are you going somewhere?” She asked and Harrison paused he turned to her, her brows was already crease

    Two guards took James by the arms and pulled him outside, the night air was cool against the thin lace. Bright lights from the street lamps made the lingerie shine.A growing crowd of residents followed, whispering and pointing, some laughed, some looked disgusted, phones recorded every step.The parade moved slowly through the wide roads of the complex, past the fountains, past the tennis courts, past the rows of luxury cars.James kept his head down, face burning with shame, but the guards forced him to keep walking. Every time he stop, they pushed him forward.By the time they finished the full circle, the word had already spread across the entire complex, people who had never met James now knew his face and the crime written on his chest.By morning the videos would be everywhere, his family’s name would be dragged through the mud. The chance to inherit the family business was gone forever. No board of directors would accept a man who had been marched through the richest neighborh

    James eyes flashed red, and he struggled against the guards tight grip. “I refuse, I will not wear anything! You can’t make me.” He screamed.The supervisor glanced at the lingerie on the ground and hesitated. His earlier confidence seemed to disappear for a moment. Making a man put on a lingerie and apologize in public when others are watching was not part of normal procedure.The supervisor glanced at the growing crowd, then at the black card still resting in his hand, then at Harrison’s calm face.Harrison noticed the supervisor’s hesitation and spoke again. “If this scandal is exposed the wrong way, the complex’s reputation will suffer, people will ask how such a serious crime could happen inside the most luxurious villa community in the city. They will also ask about the figure who stands behind this place. A stain like that does not wash away easily. The name that protects these walls could be tarnished. I do not think anyone wants that.”The supervisor’s face went pale. He was

    Harrison stood still, hands open at his sides, eyes fixed on the supervisor, simply waiting. The supervisor finally loked up, he glanced once at James, and then at the bodyguards groaning on the floor.Then back at the black card, he typed the serial number into a small secure tablet on his wrist, the screen glowed green for a second, then showed a private page that none of the regular guards could see.James shifted on his knees. “Well? Are you going to believe this homeless reject or are you going to do your job? The real owners of this complex don’t play games. If you let him go, you’ll be the next one in trouble.The supervisor finished checking the black card one last time, his face changed completely by what James had just said. The hard look disappeared when he glanced toward Harrison.His eyes dilated and his lips fell open slightly in shock and fear, he turned toward Harrison, bent low at the waist, and bowed deeply.“Sir, I am truly sorry,” he said in a clear, loud voice. “O

    The guard looked at the card and for a moment they were all silent like they had believed him, but then the leader shook his head.The other stood in a tight half-circle, rifles still half-raised. The leader who had spoken earlier took one step forward and held out his hand.“Show us the card clearly,” he said in a hard voice. “Slowly,” he instructed.Harrison did not argue, he flickered his wrist and tossed the black card through the air. It spun once and landed softly on the leaders gloved palm.James, still on his knees with his hands cuffed behind his back, twisted his neck to look, his eyes narrowed, then he burst into a loud laugh.“Hah! Look at that piece of junk!” he shouted. “You call that an owner’s card? I’ve seen real ones before. They are silver with a blue stripe and a raised golden seal. Yours is just plain black plastic.”James clicked his tongue. “It looks like something you ordered online for twenty dollars. Probably has a fake number printed on the back. You think t

    Harrison pushed Isabella farther behind him toward the open apartment door. “Stay back.” he said quietly.She did not argue, she moved to the doorway but kept her eyes on him, still worried about the blow he had taken.Across the hallway, Chloe was still pinned under two men, but she had seen Harrison clear the first group. She renewed her struggle, trying to break free while the other bodyguards rushed to Harrison.James stayed several steps away, phone still in hand, he watched with anticipation expecting the money offer to end the problem quickly.Harrison moved fast, he ducked under one swinging fist, twisted the arm of the arm of the second bodyguard, and drove his knee into the third man’s stomach. One by one the hired men dropped.They landed into the wall, knocked over a glass vase at the hallway, and landed hard on the floor. In less than ten minute, the whole group was on the ground, groaning and holding their head and ribs in pain.James trembled and let out a terrified sou
