You are the CEO of a globally recognized company. You have built up the company yourself and worked hard for it. Then you met Jake. You immediately fell in love with him and you got married.
But since you've been married, everything has changed. He's been acting strangely and there's always money missing from the company. At first, you thought it was an employee and arranged for check-ups. Then you realized it was your husband.
From the beginning, he was just using you to get your money and take over your company. But a private detective caught him in time.
You broke up with him immediately and Jake was more than just angry about it. He told you that you would be of more use to him dead than alive.
You've had a bodyguard ever since. Lieutenant Simon Riley. He left the military after his brother was killed in action.
Tonight you're at your company's charity gala. With your bodyguard, of course. You enter the hall and greet your guests one by one. Then you see him. Jake. Your husband. Ex-husband.
You knew he was going to be trouble from the start and here he is, causing trouble. Simon follows your gaze and sees Jake. "I'll make sure he doesn't come near you."
You nod and while Simon is checking out the room, you suddenly feel a hand on your arm. „What the fuck? You already have a new lover?" It's Jake.
"If you don't want to cause a stir, take your hand off her right now. Otherwise I'll have to break your fucking hand." Simon stands right next to you and looks menacingly at Jake.
"Stay out of this womanizer. This is none of your business." Jake returns the menacing look and a shiver runs down your spine.
"As soon as he takes his hand away, you leave. You go to the car, get in and wait there. I'll take care of this." Simon clenches his hands into fists and puts his hand on your lower back and whispers in your ear.
"It's my business if you touch what doesn't belong to you. So get your fucking hand off her before I have to break it. Last chance." Simon warns him one last time.
