Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

Chapter 289 - Thinking A Lot

Because had been asleep for a while and finally woke up, Dean had a hard time going back to sleep. He kept awake with a feeling of curiosity about who wanted the destruction of his family. he glanced at Bryana who was asleep hugging his chest, then leaned forward to kiss her forehead.

'I feel like something's been off lately... Alex's kindness may seem sudden, but I have a feeling he's sincere. and Carlos couldn't possibly dare to commit another crime to me because that would only put him in prison. It's also impossible for Carlos to pay thugs from the market to harm me because all this time the person who has always been his errand guy is Bodyguard class,' he thought angrily.

because was constantly restless, Dean finally let go of Bryana's arms and carefully got out of bed. His injured hand was sore because the knife cut was so deep that he even had to receive a lot of medical stitches.

Dean walked to the door that led to the balcony and opened it. He walked over to the guardrail and saw the silence of the night. Only the sound of several bodyguards on duty to maintain security was heard drinking coffee near the security post.

"Living with this kind of guard is uncomfortable. Because when I sleep with my wife, they stay awake until they leave worldly pleasures," Dean muttered as he looked at the Bodyguard who was sitting together. His attention was focused on Louis who was still on guard even though he had to accompany Lauren who was unstable because she was pregnant. He remembered when Bryana or Clarissa was pregnant, always wanted to be accompanied by him.

Dean decided to sit on the yellowish-white chair available on the balcony, then leaned back and tilted his head up to stare at the dark sky filled with millions of stars.

until a moment he felt someone come and touch his chest from behind, then kissed his forehead.

"Why are you here?" Bryana asked after kissing Dean's forehead.

"Because I can't sleep," Dean replied, looking at Bryana's face above him.

Bryana kissed Dean's forehead again then straightened his body. She walked to the empty chair beside her husband and sat there.

"This midnight is not good outside. Moreover, you are not well, not wearing clothes... Let's go inside. I can't sleep without you," Bryana coaxed, resting her chin on Dean's left shoulder.

Dean glanced at Bryana, then touched the back of his right hand. "Honey... As long as I'm sick. Never leave the house. if you need something or want to buy something, let the bodyguard or maid buy it. I don't want something like this to happen again," he said

"Yes, I will always be at home with you," Bryana said with a warm smile.

"You're not disappointed, right?" asked Dean.

"No. If I am at home and you are always by my side, I will not be disappointed. I'm sure, one day we will be free again as usual. Bad guys don't always win," Bryana replied casually.

"Come on in. I was very sleepy. You should sleep with me."

"Okay, but I want to see Louis for a moment I will ask him to just rest. Lauren needs it." Dean immediately stood up, followed by Bryana.

"Then Louis won't have to stay up late anymore while Lauren is pregnant. Pregnant women can cry if their husbands always leave at night," said Bryana while walking hand in hand with Dean.

"Like you," Dean said.

"My pregnancy started with being confronted when you fell down the stairs, then ended with an accident with my father. I've had too many shocking things in my life. If it wasn't for you, maybe I would just be a woman who is always alone with a thousand pains," Bryana said angrily. The memories of the bad events that happened to her seemed to be a reminder that she was always far from safe.

"I was even part of the cause of your suffering when you were pregnant. I'm sorry," said Dean, looking at Bryana who was now sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I've forgotten that. Now, meet Louis, after that come and rest," Bryana cried as she lay down.

Dean rushed out of the room to go out of the house to meet Louis.

on the same bed with their backs to each other and not yet asleep, that's what happened between Alex and Elsa. They were silent about what was bothering each other.

'Why is Fin at Bryana's house? Could he possibly harm Bryana like Gustave? but ... Why did he become a bodyguard, even willing to get hurt to protect Bryana. I don't understand what the purpose is.' Alex thought to himself, imagining seeing Fin walking around being led by Louis because he was injured.

Elsa who was silent turned to look at Alex who still had her back to her. 'Is it true what Carlos said that he no longer loves me? But why is he still by my side if he doesn't have feelings for me anymore? to be honest I miss his sweetness before he disappeared for three months.' She thought

Alex lay down, turned to look at Elsa who was also looking at her. "Why have not you gone to sleep yet?" he asked.

"I can't sleep," Elsa replied.

"What's bothering you so you can't sleep?" Alex asked then stretched out his hand, brushing a lock of Elsa's hair that covered her forehead. There was a hint of guilt at having been rude to her these past few days in defense of Calvin and Bryana.

"I'm thinking about your feelings for me," Elsa whispered. "You've changed since you came back I don't know you anymore."

"I'm sorry ... I just want to correct my mistakes in the past. I almost died there, making me remember how I also once made Bryana in pain half to death because of me," Alex explained sadly.

"Correcting mistakes but you carve new mistakes by ignoring me. Remember, your current wife is me, not her. She is happy with her new life, and I'm sure your arrival is not welcomed by her," said Elsa then turned her face away.

Alex sighed, then leaned closer to Elsa and hugged her from the side. "Sorry. Yesterday I wanted to make amends for my mistakes. But what you said was very true, she rejected me and this time I will put my priority back on you."

"That means if she accepts you, you will approach her?" Elsa confirmed.

"That will never happen. He already has a much better Dean than me. And I already have you. I just want our family to be close to his family," Alex explained while groping Elsa's chest which he hadn't touched since a few days ago because there were always conflicts that made him fight with his wife.

"Is that really what you want?" Elsa asked, turning her head to look at Alex's face so close to hers.

"Of course. I want to mend our relationship too. I know that we have to understand each other," Alex explained then kissed Elsa's lips gently until he shifted his position to the top of his wife's body and began to strip her clothes. Ah, he was about to ask his wife for a share who had been touched by another man

You know, he will turn to throw it away rather than touch it.
