Prologue

It was a regular day in school for Itzyana until the unexpected happened. During the break time, she was sitting with her friends and chatting when, all of a sudden, a cold splash of water hit her face, leaving her drenched and bewildered. She looked around and saw Loxley grinning with her friends Jaxie and Ileen, who were giggling and pointing at her.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry~" Loxley said, pretending that she didn't mean to splash water on her.

"Look at her, so ugly!" Jaxie said, giggling while pointing at Itzy.

Ileen covered her mouth, acting like she was suppressing her laughter. "Wearing a luxury necklace wouldn't get you pretty, girl."

Itzy felt humiliated and embarrassed. She couldn't understand why Loxley had done this to her. She had never done anything to her, and she didn't even know her well. She wiped her face with her handkerchief and tried to compose herself, but the incident left her feeling uneasy.

Her friends were quick to console her and asked her if she wanted to report the matter to the teacher. Itzy, however, was reluctant to make a big deal out of it. She didn't want to create a scene or get anyone in trouble. She decided to let it go and carry on with her day.

But the incident kept playing in her mind. She couldn't shake off the feeling of being targeted and humiliated. She wondered if she had done something to offend Loxley, but she couldn't recall any instance where she had interacted with her.

As the day progressed, Itzy noticed that Loxley and her friends were snickering and whispering behind her back.

Itzy couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her friends sitting with Loxley and her group during the lunch break. She walked up to them and asked them why they were sitting with the very same people who humiliated her just a week ago.

Her friends shrugged and told her that they were having fun with Loxley and her group. Itzy felt betrayed and hurt. She couldn't believe that her friends had turned their backs on her and joined the group that bullied her.

Itzy tried to reason with her friends, but they refused to listen. They even started to make fun of her, just like Loxley and her group did. Itzy felt like she had nowhere to go and no one to turn to. She didn't understand why her friends would choose to side with bullies and hurt her.

Itzy was alone. She started to avoid her friends and spent most of her time alone. She tried to focus on her studies and other activities, but the incident had affected her deeply.

The bullying continued, and Itzy found herself isolated from her classmates. She felt like no one cared about her or her feelings. She even considered changing schools to get away from the constant bullying and isolation. But of course it was only in her mind; she couldn't transfer schools because she was afraid that her parents would know about the bullying.

Itzy had become an outcast, and she didn't know how to break free from the cycle of isolation and bullying. She spent most of her time alone, avoiding interactions with her classmates. She would sit alone during lunch breaks and avoid eye contact with anyone who tried to approach her.

Itzy's parents noticed the change in her behavior and tried to talk to her about what was going on. But Itzy was too scared to tell them about the bullying. She didn't want to worry them or make them feel like they had failed to protect her. So she did everything to hide her bruises and the fact that she was being bullied at school.

In a remote area, deep within the mountains, a program was established to find the toughest and most capable men to act as bodyguards for Itzyana, a powerful and influential figure.

The program was founded by Itzy's father, Gerard Bush. And this program was designed to be a competition of strength and endurance, consisting of several rounds that would test the physical prowess of the participants. The program was open to any man who wanted to participate and wanted to become a bodyguard for his daughter. They will choose four men who have big points to be Itzyana's bodyguards.

The point will be a bridge to identify or determine who was the best among them.

The first round of the program was a test of strength, where the participants had to lift heavy weights and perform various exercises that required physical strength. The second round was a test of endurance, where the participants had to run several miles and complete a series of obstacle courses. The third round was a test of combat skills, where the participants had to engage in hand-to-hand combat and demonstrate their ability to defend themselves and others. The fourth round was a test of using high-tech gadgets that can be used during battle.

The final round of the program was the most challenging of all. The participants were tasked with protecting a VIP, played by a local actor, from a group of simulated attackers. The VIP was escorted through a series of simulated scenarios where attackers would come at them with various weapons, such as knives and batons, and the bodyguards had to protect the VIP while simultaneously neutralizing the attackers.

The program attracted a large number of participants, all eager to prove their strength and become bodyguards for Itzy. The competition was fierce, with the participants pushing themselves to their limits in every round. Many of the participants were eliminated in the first few rounds, leaving only a handful of the strongest contenders to compete in the final round.

In the end, the four individuals chosen to be her bodyguards are Linus Madden, Ryker Katz, Jace Tucker Hart, and Laszlo Cooper, who impressed the judges with their exceptional strength and endurance, as well as their combat skills and knowledge about gadgets.
