His shield!
Author's POV
"That fucking bitch killed all my men..."
He slammed his fist on the table angrily...
"I've told you that before boss, we can't take her down that easily..."
His bodyguard said who was sitting in front of him...
"And we can't touch damian until she is protecting him..."
"Shut the fuck up..."
Another feminine voice boomed in the office...
"Don't you dare praise that bitch in front of us."
"Sorry mam..."
He quickly apologized...
"No, he is right... she has became his bodyguard now but she had saved him before too, when she wasn't even his bodyguard, always damn it, I always fail in killing him just because of that bitch..."
He said frustratingly...
"What do you mean by before..."
The lady sitting in front of him asked curiously...
"Rose has always kept close eye on damian, she had secretly been protecting him, she has been Damian's shield from the beginning but damian has no idea about it, and by giving her this job Renzo has opened all the doors for her to protect damian.. now it will be even more difficult to hold her back, I wonder why she has never told him the truth..."
He explained...
"I think we should wait for the right time, she will leave from there after 5 months, once she is gone we will attack damian again, until then we have to stay low because if rose found out anything about us then no one can save us, damian will give us the worst death possible..."
All 3 of them nodded at the man who was sitting next to them...
"5 months?... And you think she will let us kill damian after that, I told you she has been keeping an eye on damian from the beginning, she is always one step ahead of us, keep trying... do whatever you want but kill her before damian..."
He said frustratingly...
"It's ok baby, we have waited long enough, just few more months, we will kill them both..."
She said placing her hand on his while evilly smirking...

DAMIAN'S POV
I looked at her beautiful sleeping face, she looks so angelic, holding the pillow close to her like she is trying to seek comfort from it, after today's incident she hadn't uttered a word, she was quite the whole ride back to home, even after that she directly went to the bathroom and locked herself inside and when I asked her 'if she is ok' she just answered me with a nod just like she did after killing that assassin, I don't understand why she behaves like this, is she feeling guilty or she don't like killing people. I don't know anything but one thing I have noticed is that she becomes too silent after she kills someone...
I trailed my fingers on her cheeks. It has become one of my favourite thing. She looks so peaceful while sleeping that no one can guess from her innocent aura that she sliced men like piece of papers, atleast she is sleeping but my mind is far away from sleep, today's incidents keeps flashing in front of me continuously. My men told me that this attack was not to kill me but it was for rose. That person is trying to kill rose and it's making my blood boil, I am going to skin him alive...
Pulling her closer I placed her head on my chest, I can't stop myself from doing that. She has became my habit, she is the only girl with whom I am sleep like this and that too without having sex which is really hard because my half aroused friend is already taunting me about it. I crave for her presence, she provides me the comfort I have never received. Till now I have only used women to satisfy my sexual needs but this girl is unknowingly giving me something I never had. Peace, comfort and understanding...
She is so calm, no matter What the situation is she always deal with it calmly, she has a clean heart I have noticed it, she speaks everything straightforwardly, her every move is collective, she never looses her temper, so unlike me I always loose my temper over small things.
Jack was right I am getting attached to her, I can hold her in my arms my whole life and will never get tired she has became that much special to me. I have never seen a strong girl like her, sometimes her cold behaviour irritates me I mean I agree that I always wanted a strong girl but man she is next level, I have to change her, she needs to smile and I want to see that. I know she has feelings for me too, I have seen that in her eyes. I have caught her red handed while staring at me, she always gets lost in my eyes which makes me amused. I know she likes sleeping in my arms, I have seen that satisfaction on her face, but still I can't read her. Sometimes it looks like she is trying to tell me something through her actions, her words feel surprisingly familiar, I don't know why but she feels so familiar...
My phone vibrated on the night stand and brought me out of my daze. I sat up in my bed placing rose gently back on the soft mattress. I know she is awake, damn this girl really has some brilliant ninja skills she can wake up with the noise of dropping pin. My lips turned upwards as naughty thoughts ran in my perverted mind, leaning down I kissed her forehead and from the slight movements of her throat I understood that she gulped nervously, I placed another kiss on her soft cheek and another one on her neck and my smirk deepened when I saw her red ears and goosebumps on her hands, well I must say I am lucky that I am not getting kicked or punched for this...
I checked my phone, it was the cctv footage and some pictures from the parking lot. I watched the whole video and damn my girl is fire, yes my girl, I am so Fucking proud of her... I scrolled further down to watch the pictures and one thing caught my attention, I zoomed in and looking at that thing my heart almost stopped beating, no way... this can't be it, anyone but this person...
Something is definitely wrong I have to find out everything, getting up from the bed I took my keys and head downstairs, I walked towards my car and got in. I was about to start the car but suddenly the door to the passenger side opened and my eyes darted towards the person sitting beside me...
"Where are you going this late?"
Fuck, why did I even thought that I can escape from her watchful eyes...
"I thought you were sleeping, rose..."
I said indirectly mocking her for her brilliant acting while starting the car. She zipped up her jacket and looked at me...
"Yes I was but you woke me up..."
She said while wearing her seatbelt, I can sense the little hesitation in her voice which made me chuckle...
I was driving the car on empty roads as it was almost midnight and the roads were dangerously silent. I do usually take my security with me whenever I go outside because of the constant attacks but right now I am only with rose and trust me I know that I don't need my fucking men when my one-woman-army is with me. I looked at her from the corner of my eyes and I can't describe in words how happy I am that she doesn't talk much. At this moment I needed this silence and without any order she is providing me that. She always understand what I want by just looking at my face like I am a open book to her. It makes me feel really vulnerable in front of her as I do try to appear as emotionless as possible. It's frustrating that she can read me like an open book and I am not even able to open the first page of this beautiful closed book...
I parked the car in front of my office and hurriedly walked inside and rose was quick to follow me. My men were already their investigating about the attack. All of them stopped their work and nodded at me saying boss when they saw me...
"Where is it ?"
I asked the man who send me those pictures...
"Here boss..."
He handed me the thing...
I looked at it and the more I stared at it the more it hurt...
"Where did you found this ?"
I tried to sound calm but trust me I was anything but calm...
"We found this in the pocket of one of the dead bodies..."
He answered...
"Ok, you may leave now but remember one thing... No one should know about it otherwise you know the rest..."
He gave me an assuring nod and hurriedly left...
That man must have stole this from that
Person...
"What happened boss?"
I diverted my eyes from my hand to rose, she was looking at me confused...
"This belongs to the culprit, the person who is trying to kill you and me..."
She frowned looking at my hand in which I was holding that thing...
"It can belong to anyone, how can you be so sure..."
Well she has a point but it does not apply here...
"No rose, this is customised..."
I confirmed and my grip on it tightened...
"Who is that person ?"
She asked, did I just sensed anger in her voice, it's very rare as I have never seen her angry. She clenched her jaw and her little nose flared with anger when I told her his name...
We drove back home, this time rose insisted on driving so I let her. I threw myself on the bed after reaching home and my head felt like someone is hammering it, I can't take my mind of that thing...
I closed my eyes to stop thinking about it but it wasn't of any help...
"Do you want a head massage ?"
Her voice make my eyes snapped open, did she really said that or I am just hearing things...
"What?"
I asked to confirm...
"Do you need a head massage it will help you to sleep, I know you are stressed right now boss..."
She explained and I quickly nodded... Well I don't give a single fuck about sleep, I just want to feel her touch...
She brought some oils and sat behind me, as soon as her gentle fingers touched my scalp I sighed in satisfaction when she started massaging my head. It didn't surprise me that she knows the right pressure points, it helped to calm me down...
"You have magic in your fingers, angel..."
I said as my eyes already started closing...
I placed my head on her shoulder and her body instantly went stiff but I am too tired to care about it. I want to inhale her scent it helps to calm the storm inside me. I would have to think of this matter with a calm and peaceful mind and my only source of peace is rose, my angel...
She must have noticed my distressed state as she kept on massaging my head. Placing my head on her lap I closed my eyes and moved closer to her snuggling my face into her stomach with my hands around it and fell in a deep slumber.

I came out of the closet wearing my suit and my eyes got stuck on the beautiful lady standing in front of me. She was busy tying the knife holder around her ankle... always prepared...
Damn this girl never fails to give me a boner, she is looking so damn fucking ravishing in this gown that I want to throw her on the bed right now and fuck her in every way possible...
"I am ready..."
"What ?"
I asked not sure for why she said that, did I said it out loud about the fucking thing...
"I am ready for the party, we can leave now..."
She said picking up her clutch from the table and i rolled my eyes at my stupidity...
"What kind of party is this ?"
She asked when we sat inside the car ready to leave for the venue...
"It's nothing big, we are just going there because I want to meet some of my business partners..."
She nodded and he shamelessly stared at her, it feels so peaceful to be with her. Nothing less than a feeling when your sitting alone at the beach admiring the beautiful sunset with cool breeze going around...

I was talking to my old friend and my eyes roamed in the hall to find rose, I saw her sitting near the counter, a waiter offered her juice which she took. Today I was also observing her actions and I surprisingly enjoyed it may be I am behaving like a stalker...
She was about to drink the juice but stopped and smelled it, a frown appeared on her face as she inhale that scent and instead of drinking it she silently roamed her suspicious eyes around her and empied the glass in a nearby vass and smoothly replaced the empty glass with another one. No one noticed her except me, everyone was busy doing their own things and I was beyond confused, what the fuck is she doing...
She picked up another glass of alcohol which is my favourite one, She smelled that drink too and walked towards me. A waiter stopped in front of me and handed me a drink but before I could drink it rose held my hand, why is she behaving like this, is it spiked. Thankfully she did all these things silently without catching people's attention. She snatched the drink from my hand and handed me the one she was holding, I frowned and decided to talk to her about it later...
The whole party she didn't move from my side and kept changing my drinks...
Finally we were done with the party and head towards our car...
"What were you doing inside ?"
I asked her when we sat inside the car...
"Those drinks were poisoned"
She replied casually like she is telling me about the weather...
"What... And how did you know ?"
Damn how have I not noticed it...
"I have learned about poisons, and this poison had a strong smell which cannot be overcomed by the smell of juices and alcohol, it was a deadly one, I should thank Renzo for this..."
She explained...
"That's why I kept changing and smelling your drinks because most of them were poisoned..."
She explained making me look at her in admiration, something in my heart swelled up and the feeling which erupted in me I couldn't point out. I can't fucking stop myself now, fuck it...
I lifted her up and placed her in my lap, she looked at me shocked but before she reacted I slammed my lips on hers, her body went completely stiff, and her hands were stuck in the air...
I grabbed the back of her neck and started sucking on her lips. Damn, I was dying to do this. I grabbed her waist and dragged her closer and her body was still in shock, I licked her lower lip asking for entrance but she didn't moved so I slide my hand in her dress and grabbed her thigh making her gasp, taking the opportunity i quickly slid my tongue inside her mouth, she didn't kissed me back and I was expecting that. My tongue explored each and every corner of her mouth, she tastes so sweet I can't control myself, I was biting and sucking on her lips hungrily putting all of my desperation in it..
Suddenly she placed her hand on my chest and pulled away from the kiss, leaving both of us panting heavily...
"No... You are my boss..."
She said emphasizing more on the word boss and I hate it, I want to hear my name from this delicious mouth...
"I don't care..."
I said caressing her lower lip with my thumb...
She pushed my hand away from her face and got up from my lap...
"But I do..."
