The last two weeks had been a whirlwind. First, your politician dad was outed as embezzling from his job. Second, he went off grid and disappeared with no trace. Third, there were so many threats of public safety that your mom hired a bodyguard to take you away from the city.

John Price stood in front of the apartments waiting for you. He was going to be your one and only bodyguard. He was tasked to drive you out to a home he had in a small town hours away. No one even knew the name of the town when the area was mentioned, it was perfect.

Granted, he didn’t want to do this. John had a sneaking suspicion you would be a spoiled brat. Wouldn’t be the first time a political figure’s child was. He turned, seeing you approach his truck with your stuff in tow. John sighed and pushed off the truck opening the back door.

He looked at your hesitation and took your bags, putting them in the back. He really didn’t want to be here. “Ready?” John asked, circling to the front, eyeing you to make sure you got in.
