*IN EDITING PROCESS*
Axel Grain, a very famous man all over the internet. Getting cash from such a young age led him to now, his popularity. He doesn't like the idea of having a bodyguard either, but he learns to get over it fairly quickly, unlike the woman he's soon to meet.
Scarlett Delvine, Axel Grain's soon to be bodyguard. She hated the thought of rich people, especially Axel. Rich people always get what they want, what they need. She shouldn't need to bodyguard someone who already has tons at his house. The idea of this is stupid to her, but it was by force.

"What if your daughter could be my sons personal bodyguard? To help keep him safer. I heard your daughter was experienced in fighting." Mr. Grain sips on his wine, staring Mr. Devlin down.
"I don't think she'd be very fond of that.." Mr. Delvin responds quickly. As the man in front of him slams his glass down, indicating he wasn't very fond of the answer he got.
"Delvin," He scoffs. "That was not an option."
His eyes widen slightly. "My apologies, sir."
But what he doesn't realize is the situation he's about to be put into.
"I don't think you understand," Mr. Grain scoffs, amused. "I could have my men kill you, in seconds. If you do not take this offer." He leans in closer. "And your daughter, can watch."
"I'll speak with Scarlett about it."

"WHAT?! Father, there is no way!" I shout in disbelief. There's no way I will bodyguard some rich boy.
"Scar, listen to me. If you don't take this offer, I could die. They could have me killed in seconds." His voice trembles, like he was actually afraid.
Your own best friend, killing you?
"Fine. Whatever." I scoff in agreement, I didn't have much a choice.
I was only going to be moving in with him, as well as protecting him. Nothing will happen.
Right?
