The Bodyguard

A first person short story where this bodyguard takes a high-paying job with a mafia family-quiet on the surface, wrong underneath. The deeper he goes, the more the shadows twist: shifting orders, silent grudges, and a war brewing behind every whispered conversation.
As the tension rises and loyalties blur, he's drawn into a violent game where each step forward costs a little more than the last. In a world built on secrets and blood, he learns too late that some jobs don't just pull you in-they pull you under.
