Completion Chapter 222

My heart rate had tripledthe large room made smaller by Brack’s anger. I cald myself just enough to hide my trepidation with a mask of stubbornness. "You knew this was coming. This guy wants . You’ve done what you can by teaching to defend myself. He’ll pick off the people in my life one after the other. Your cousin is in intensive care because of . His parents ca close to losing their son." I placed my hand out when Brack ca closer.

"This isn’t a ga, Olivia. This guy will kill you or, like I said, do worse. And that’s only before he kills you. He’s sick. My job is to keep you safe."

This was it. I had to get through his block head. I knew what needed to be said, what twisted words had to be spoken, "Well, that lasted as long as it took you to climb into my pants. You already told you compromised my safety. You think my father will continue paying you if I tell him that?" My heart almost caved at the emotions that crossed Brack’s face. Hurt, anger, stubbornness, and back to hurt.

This ti my hand didn’t stop him. "What’s this about, Olly?" He grasped my nape and brought closer so we were almost nose to nose.

I went in for the kill, needing him safethis man I loved more than life. "Did you really think this would last? You’re a good fuck, but when I’m ready for a long-term relationship it won’t be with a bodyguard. You can’t do your job properly and keep safe. You fucked and ruined that, rember?" I ran my hand over his shirt all the way down to the crotch of his pants. "I enjoyed it, babe. Now I want to survive more than I want a hot fuck. You’re compromised, Brack. I need the best man for the job. It isn’t you and obviously it isn’t Mack or he wouldn’t be in the hospital." I knew it was a low blow and actually cringed at the glacial look that entered Brack’s eyes. They appraised with contempt. It hurt even though it’s exactly what I deserved.

"Have your father find another team," he practically spit out. With that, he walked to the adjoining door and pounded on it. His n opened it ready to take on whatever was happening on our side. Brack said sothing I couldn’t hear. I figured it out, though, because one of the n walked into my room, changing places with Brack.

My heart pounded so fast I thought I might be sick.

"Umm. Na’s Sander."

I turned at the sound of the new voice not even realizing I’d crossed to the bed. Now what the hell do I do? "Please call Olivia. I’m going to sleep. You can wait in the other room with Brack. This door’s locked."

"No, ma’am." His deep robotic voice held not an inch of understanding. "Brack said I was to stay here until he sends Nelson in to relieve . Your safety cos first. I’ll sit over here while you sleep. Food should be here in a few minutes, though." He crossed to the table in the corner of the room and sat down.

"I’m not hungry and just need sleep," I said as I crossed to him and handed him the remote. "The TV won’t bother . You watching will."

He turned on the television and kept the volu low.

I climbed into bed and rolled so my back was to him. I had a darkness inside of when it ca to hurting people. I’d done it to several lovers. Maybe my stalker was payback for my insensitive nature. Win at all costs, fuck when it feels good, and keep n at arm’s length. I lived by those rules. Why should fucking Brack be any different? Because you love him dummy. You just don’t deserve him. I had to find so way to un-love him. He didn’t deserve the danger I placed him in.

I pulled the covers over my head and tried to keep my ltdown quiet. I’m sure I didn’t succeed. Sander was smarter than he looked and didn’t dare ask if I was all right. He left to my misery.

I didn’t realize I nodded off until Brack’s angry voice startled . "She’ll fucking eat it or you’ll force feed her." The door slamd and I was alone with Sander once more.

I peeked out from beneath the covers. "Don’t worry, I’ll eat." I climbed out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I still looked hung over at best and my hair was a ss. I just didn’t care. I splashed my face with water and walked out. My al consisted of fresh fruits and vegetables with a nice cut of steak. Brack knew what I liked and he’d ordered it for . The food sat like a lump in my stomach, but I ate every bite.

Two seconds after setting down my napkin, my cell phone rang. A quick glance at the caller ID and I knew my father would need his blood pressure checked after today.

"You’re being so uncooperative that your security team is ditching you? What the hell is going on, Olivia?" He didn’t yell. Each precise word let know this was bad.

"Brack didn’t tell you?"

He huffed out an impatient breath. "The man hardly spoke at all. He told little more than he’d recomnd another security team."

I looked up and noticed Sander watching . This would sever Brack’s chance at ever working for my father again and it was the hardest step in my plan. I had no choice but to do it in front of Brack’s man. Here goes nothing. "I seduced Brack and it has compromised my safety. This is all my fault."

Sander winced and turned away. My father went absolutely silent.

I waited.

"Are you okay, Olivia?" he finally asked in a low voice.

That’s not what I expected and tears welled in my eyes. "I’m as good as I can be. I want my life back. I want to be back on the pro circuit and I want to see you, Daddy." What I didn’t say- I love Brack. I’m terrified. I don’t want to die. More importantlyI don’t want another person dying because of .

"I love you, honey."

That was all it took for my tears to spill down my cheeks. I’d just told my father how badly I screwed up and he said he loved .

"Talk to Brack, sweetie. He’s a stand up man."

What the hell? "What," was all I could get out.

"Brack cos highly recomnded and handles cases like these all the ti. He doesn’t have a reputation for developing relationships with clients. He feels sothing for you or this wouldn’t have happened."

This. Was not my father. I was almost too stunned to speak. "I told you it’s my fault. Brack does not have feelings for other than the sexual variety. If you want to go into detail I will. Bottom line, I seduced him. This may be hard for you to believe but I’m damn good at it." I took a breath preparing myself to give my father another blast of reality.

He spoke before I could. "Do you feel better now? This is not a conversation we should be having, Olivia. I’ve remained quiet about your private life for years. Leave with so sense of naivety."

The defeat in his voice affected most. I sank down on the bed taking several deep breaths. "Hire another team. One that isn’t at my fingertips because I’ll leave them in the dust the first chance I get. I need privacy, my coach, and a semblance of normalcy. I won’t live this way any longer."

The silence lasted several long minutes this ti. "I’ll have another team in place by tomorrow." The click on the line let know my father was no longer there. I rolled over and closed my eyes.
