The Bodyguard Pt. 2

Start from the beginning
                                    

Alessandra's courage was unparalleled, and her willingness to sacrifice herself for her loved ones was a testament to her character. It was no surprise she excelled in the role of a bodyguard; her bravery knew no bounds. Suddenly, the crackle of my earpiece snapped me back to reality. Samantha's voice broke through, concern evident in her tone. "Ash? You there?" "Yeah, what's up?" I responded, bracing myself for whatever news awaited. "Is Alessandra with you?" Samantha inquired anxiously. I swallowed hard, the weight of my response heavy on my heart. "No. She stayed behind," I admitted, a pang of guilt tugging at my conscience.

Samantha's sigh spoke volumes, her words laced with apprehension. "The Tuans sent 20 men to hunt them down. I'm assuming you have Sana with you?" I exchanged a glance with my girlfriend, her eyes widening in alarm. "20 men? Isn't that overkill? They're facing only one person. And yes, Sana is with us," I confirmed. "Hiroshi gave Chen Alessandra's files. They now know how dangerous Alessandra is. They know she's not just an ordinary bodyguard; she was trained to kill, originally meant to be a mercenary. They understand the threat she poses," Samantha revealed. My girlfriend's surprise mirrored my own. Alessandra's true nature, concealed from many, was now exposed. While to outsiders she appeared as a skilled bodyguard, we, her colleagues, understood the depth of her capabilities and the dangers she faced.

Samantha's silence met my desperate plea for assistance, I felt a knot tighten in my stomach. "Sam?" I called out again, hoping for a different response, but it was Jackie's voice that finally broke through the silence. "As much as we would want to back her up, Ash, we can't, for now," Jackie's voice came through, laden with a heavy sense of responsibility. "Jackie?" I questioned, seeking further clarification. "Yeah, it's me. If we back her up now, we wouldn't be able to be each other's ears and eyes. We need to side with the Minatozaki and Tuans for now so we can plan and help Alessandra from the inside," Jackie explained earnestly.

Her words carried a sense of urgency and strategy, reminding me of the complex web of alliances and risks we navigated in our line of work. Relief washed over me as Jackie assured me that they were doing everything they could and that Alessandra's allies, Alexa and Margaux, were safe. "Alright, I'll do my part. Just update me from time to time," I replied, a sense of determination settling over me as I glanced at my girlfriend, who listened intently. "We will, Ash. I promise you," Jackie assured me before the call ended. As the line went silent, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. Alessandra would have to face this ordeal alone for now, but Jackie's reassurance gave me hope that we would come to her aid soon.

Turning my attention to the back seat, I saw Sana sleeping peacefully, her troubled thoughts hidden beneath her serene exterior. Despite her outward calm, I knew the fear and worry that gnawed at her heart, mirroring my own. Amid the uncertainty, all we could do was wait, stay vigilant, and trust in our comrades to pave the way for Alessandra's eventual rescue.


**ALESSANDRA'S POV** 


As the sound of vehicles pulled up outside, I knew the moment of confrontation had arrived. With a steady hand, I switched off the lights, relying on the darkness to conceal my movements. My heart pounded with adrenaline as I braced myself for the onslaught to come. In the stillness of the night, I heard the creak of the front door, followed by the unmistakable sounds of chaos and panic as my carefully laid traps sprung to life. The leader's voice cut through the chaos, his words a chilling reminder of the danger that lurked outside my sanctuary. Staying hidden in my study, I held my breath, every sense heightened as I waited for the inevitable. The door rattled as intruders attempted to breach my refuge. With precision honed through years of training, I remained poised, ready to strike at a moment's notice.
