Kate POV 💋
"You've got to be kidding me." I groaned at the sight of the Rolls Royce parked in front of my house. Ben was leaning against it talking to Alex and they both looked up at the sound of my voice.
"Good morning, Miss Lewis." Ben walked up to me and reached for my luggage.
"What are you doing here?" I asked not letting go off the handle of my suitcase.
He looked confused. "Mr. Perez instructed me to drop you off at the airport. The jet is waiting for you there."
The man was so infuriating. How could he do this without even asking me?
I sighed trying not to be impatient with Ben. It wasn't his fault his employer was such an overbearing control freak. "Look, I have paid for my ticket so I'm not going with you."
He suddenly looked uncomfortable and he shifted on his feet. "I'm sorrybut your ticket has been cancelled."
"What?" My mouth hung open in disbelief. How on earth did he know which airline I had taken the ticket from me? "I don't have any choice, do I?" I muttered in resignation and let go off the handle of my suitcase. I walked to the car and Alex held the door open for me while I got in.
"I don't believe we have officially met." Alex said as we settled in the back seat. "I'm Alex Reed." He gave me a friendly smile.
I smiled back and shook his hand. He looked to be in his late twenties and just like Ben, he looked as if he belonged in Secret Service. Under his black suit jacket, he had a gun strapped to his hip.
"I'm staying at a hotel near your mother's home. Call me whenever you're going out. I'll drive you." He said giving me his business card. On the back of the card he had scrawled his hotel name and number. "We believe that whoever took those photographs of you is having you followed so I want you to be very careful."
"What photographs?" I asked in puzzlement.
He raised his eyebrows. "Didn't Mr. Perez tell you?"
When I shook my head, an uncertain look flashed on his face. "Uh, maybe it's better if you ask him."
He worked for Jason and I knew even if I begged he wouldn't tell me. So I just let it go. But all throughout the car ride and on the flight to Chicago I couldn't stop thinking about it. From what I found out from Alex before he clammed up, I figured someone had taken pictures of me and sent to Jason. And that was why he hired Alex as my bodyguard.
I made a mental note to call Jason as soon as I reached Chicago and demand an explanation. I wanted to hit someone, preferably him for keeping me in the dark. How could he not tell me something as big as this? With an annoyed sigh, I leaned back in my seat and opened my laptop. I had a bunch of emails from my suppliers that I needed to respond to and I might as well get some work done.

My mother lived in Edgewater, which was a lakefront community area on the North side of Chicago. Alex rented a car at the airport and drove me to her house. It was a modest two-story house with a small garden in the front and a spacious porch. The neighborhood had quite tree-lined streets.
I walked up the stairs to the front door and rang the bell. Mum opened the door with a huge grin on her face.
"Oh, darling. It's so good to see you." She threw her arms around me and enveloped me in a big hug. "I've missed you."
I breathed in her familiar scent and hugged her back. "I've missed you too, mum."
