Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

When he finished chatting with his mother, Dean returned to the room and found Bryana lying on the sofa. He immediately approached his wife and sat beside her.

"Why have not you fallen asleep yet?" asked Dean.

"I can't sleep," Bryana answered, looking up at the ceiling. "What about Kareen? Has she been caught by the police?"

"Yes, she has been taken by the police. Dany and Louis also accompanied her while carrying evidence of her crime," explained Dean.

Bryana sighed, looked at Dean intensely, then sat down and put her arm around him from the side. "I thought we would be happy without hurting other people, but Kareen was hurt to the point of being mean and acting recklessly."

"I don't even know why she's like that." Dean let go of Bryana's arms and looked at her sadly while rubbing her cheek. "I can't imagine if Dany didn't exchange that milk for non-toxic milk, every day you would drink it and would put our child's life in danger."

"Maybe it's a different story, maybe I had a miscarriage and you must be very disappointed. I thought Raymond was very stupid because he loved a bad woman, it turned out that his silence was only to frame her and collect all the evidence of her crime," Bryana said, occasionally bending her face and leaning her chin on Dean's shoulder.

"But I'm a little annoyed that he hid this plan from me. He even has a secret room in this house, and keeps a lot of evidence of Kareen's crimes in there," Dean retorted.

"Where's the secret room?"

"In Danny's room..it is room to store security equipment and there are also many CCTV monitors installed in all rooms in this house except the bedroom," explained Dean, turning to look at his bed which was covered with dark blue sheets with a picture of a lion. "If Raymond hadn't kept up the facts about Kareen's crimes for so long, there might not have been a chance for Kareen to spill the oil until Lauren fell."

Bryana nodded slowly and thought of Lauren. "Poor her. she worked while she was pregnant, but ended up having an incident that Kareen intended to harm me. I don't know what it would be like if I slipped, maybe I already...."

"Shh ..." dean put his index finger to Bryana's lips with his head shaking as he said, "Never say anything that will make me sad. I just want you to stay comfortable by my side and I don't want anything bad to happen to you, to our family."

Dean hugged Briana tightly. "I can't imagine if you were the one who was harmed, and it was all because of the woman who was obsessed with me. I was too stupid to not realize my wife was always in danger. I thought he was just teasing me and didn't mean to do any harm to you, but it turns out she's been here since the beginning of putting poison in the milk powder."

"The most important thing is now I'm fine and Kareen can't hurt me anymore." Bryana rubbed Dean's back, then released his arm.

"Now we focus on making Lauren happy because she's the one who hurt the most because of Kareen."

Dean nodded. "Tomorrow we go to the hospital to see when she can come home after that we prepare a wedding party for her with Louis," he said.

Bryana sighed, looked down at her belly which was already growing and made her breath slowly feel tight. "What we do is certainly nothing compared to the fetus that miscarriage. hopefully, Lauren can be strong and accept our good intentions to marry her to Louis."

"Yes, hopefully after marriage, they will soon have children, following us," said Dean with a nod turning to look at the bed. "It's getting late now, you better get some sleep."

"Don't you want to sleep too?" Bryan asked.

"I have to patrol with other bodyguards because Louis and Dany are at the police station," said Dean then kissed Bryana's forehead. "I won't be too long."

"Yes," Bryana replied, looking up at Dean who stood up and walked out of the room. she looked at her husband who slowly passed out of sight. 'Just now Kareen's problem is over, now we still have to patrol to make sure things around the house are safe from other enemies.'

Bryana sighed, looking up. "Oh my God, whatever happens, give strength to Dean, to Raymond, and the bodyguards who always fight those who want to do evil to this family. I'm tired of the problems that keep coming," she said sadly.

At 11 p.m., Monica couldn't sleep because she was thinking about Kareen. She couldn't deny that she cared for her cousin. She thought about how uncomfortable it would be to sleep in prison and how her extended family would respond if they found out that her cousin had to be in prison to be held accountable for her actions.

Because since she was in the room, Monica felt thirsty and hungry. She got out of bed and glanced at her bag which was located on the nightstand beside her bed, then grabbed it and looked for something in it.

"Huh, why no Snack at all?" Monica chuckled annoyed that she couldn't find any snacks in the bag, because usually she always put snacks, chocolates, or snacks to delay hunger when pressed.

Monica threw her bag on the bed and then walked out of the room. Hmm, looks like she's going to the kitchen to look for food because hunger makes her stomach feel like it's twisting. And unexpectedly, the girl crossed paths with the idol of the heart.

"Monica," said Raymond. "You haven't slept at this hour."

Monica suddenly became nervous and cursed herself for leaving the room at the wrong time. She just realized that she was going to pass Raymond's room.

"Where are you going?" Raymond asked.

"I ... I just wanted to go to the kitchen. I'm so hungry," Monica stuttered. Raymond's gaze broke her faith. Hazel's eyes and slightly messy hair, neatly shaved beard, really made the man in front of him look cool and ... Wild because the image of his aggressive kiss still lingered in the girl's memory.

"I'm also hungry because I failed to eat earlier." Raymond took Monica's right hand and said, "Come eat with me. I will cook for you."

"Uh." Monica didn't have time to respond but was immediately pulled by Raymond to walk towards the stairs past Dean's tightly closed room. Maybe in the tightly closed room, there was already a scene... Em...??.

Monica fell silent while keeping pace with Raymond's steps. She still let her hand be held by the man's hand, but she remembered again that she must be strong and not be too submissive because of her love.

'He has to fight if he wants to be with me! But... Does he want to be with me or not?' Monica had a monologue to herself silently, then let go of Raymond's grip on hers.

"I can walk on my own," she said firmly, trying to shake off her nervousness.

Raymond was silent and let Monica walk alone towards the kitchen, while he slowly followed while smiling at him. Eh, what is he staring at, her butt or...??

'I will get you after this, and bring you happiness in a sense.. My love is so strong for you that I realized since that kiss,' Raymond thought as he continued to follow Monica.
