The Guardian

Prologue

William

I sat on the nearest chair I could find. Overwhelmed by emotions. My sister died in a car accident with her husband the news has just reached me after I have been out of reach for a month.

I needed time off after working on my business non stop for the past eight years. Not to forget the breakup of his relationship. My construction company was in good hands under my two VPs who happen to be my best friends since college and the husbands of my twin cousins.

The supply boat has arrived to the island where I have been working on my state of the art house with some of my contractors. My new pride and joy an island in the middle of the ocean and close to all the tourist destinations but with plenty of privacy. It has been a very good buy from some bankrupt banker and perhaps in the future it will make me some good money but for now I will enjoy it all to myself.

I will let the team of decorators and contractors finish the job while I go and deal with the aftermath of  kate's death and my niece Lucy.

The little girl who has stolen my heart the moment I saw her three years ago. She remind me so much of kate when she was young with her blue eyes and blond hair.
According to the letter I have just received from my sister's lawyer, my niece is being looked after by john's half sister Amelia. Who apparently  requested full guardianship.

"Over my dead body" I say to himself.

The good for nothing bastard who has ruined my sister's life. John has been the worst thing that happened to his close net family.  Wheezing himself in like cancer and taking advantage of kate who loved him blindly.

Amelia on the other hand, I don't know her very much. I vaguely remember her from the only time I saw her . From afar she looked like a tall and skinny looking girl with long pink hair. Who dye their hair in that color. Seriously.
She was outside the restaurant playing with Lucy in the playground while I was enjoying quality time with my sister  in one of my visits to her

I was never introduced directly to Amelia because kate did not want her to be one of my conquests even though I assured her that she was not my type.

She didn't believe me.

I didn't blame here. 

I was wild than. Still I'm.

I remember the days where I treated woman like bootycall  because I was too busy building my empire and was not ready for a relationship. Than came Kimberly she was very accomplished and would of made the perfect corporate wife if it wasn't for the night I found her in someone else's Arm. I loved her. Or so I thought. Now I can't stand the site of her.

Since the breakup I pretty much worked hard on my business and bed every beautiful willing woman that cross my path and discard them like garbage the next day. Until a month ago when I decided it was time to have a break and rethink my direction in life.

Now I know what's my first priority as of today?

Lucy.
