Chapter one

Niomi's POV

"So Ms. Nakahara are you willing to be my son's secret bodyguard?" Mr. Miguel asked.

I looked at him and hesitated, "Name your price" He said and gave me an empty check.

"How 'bout a million a month," asked him

"Deal," he said. He's a billionaire after all.

He took the check and wrote the first payment, "It's nice working for you, Mr. Miguel" I said and walked towards the door.

"Ms. Nakahara! Wait!" I stopped and faced him.

"Yes, Mr. Miguel?" I asked.

"You'll be going to study at oakwood university in order to follow my son," he said.

"I study in oakwood, Mr. Miguel" he seemed shocked, "are you okay, Mr. Miguel?" I asked.

"So you know my son?" He asked me.

"Of course, who wouldn't know the great and powerful Nicholai Ashton Miguel" I sarcastically said. "Don't worry he doesn't even know that I existed".

"That's good," he said and I continue to walk away.

As I was outside Mr. Miguel's office I can't help but look around the mansion. It's pretty huge for two people well maybe his just wasting his money.

As I was out of the mansion I went to the hospital to visit someone.

I entered the hospital and immediately saw Dr. Martinez, "Dr. Martinez!" I shouted to get his attention. He looked at my direction and I went closer to him.

"Good day, Ms. Nakahara how can I help you?" He asked me.

"I was going to ask you how's Grandma's condition?" I asked him.

"I'm sorry Ms. Nakahara but your grandma's condition is getting worst by the day" he sadly said. I felt my heart broke.

"I have money now Dr. Martinez please save my grandma she's the only one I have right now" I cried

"I'm sorry but we can't do anything about it and she only has a month to live," he said and made my heart shattered.

I was left there standing while my tears we're racing down my eyes. I felt like my world collapsed.

Instead of crying like a baby, I wiped my tears and headed for grandma's' room.

I walked down the hallway and hesitated to open the door. My hands were shaking.

I composed myself and opened the door with a smile on my face.

"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping yet?" I asked her.

"I couldn't sleep without a glimpse of you by my side," she said and tears were forming in my eyes.

"I love you, Grandma," I told her.

"I love you too, Yomi," she said as tears fall down her eyes."I'll be with you no matter what".

"I have a new job" I happily said.

"I'm happy for you," she said and smiled.

After our conversation, I went home and just stared at my bedroom ceiling

"I'm going to miss you, Grandma," I said and tears ran down my eyes.

I woke up because of an alarm. As far as I remember I didn't set an alarm.

I stood up and walked towards my drawer. I took my phone and answered it without look who it is.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Is this Ms. Nakahara?" She asked me.

"Yes. Who is this?"

"I'm sorry to inform you Miss but Mrs. Sargoza is gone" I felt tears running

"No! That can't be true!" I yelled

"I'm sorry miss, she's in the morgue right now" tears felt like waterfalls right down my eyes.

I ended the call. got dressed and rushed to the hospital. As I arrived I immediately went to the front desk.

"Wheres the morgue?!" I almost yelled.

She nervously pointed the morgue and I ran there like there's no tomorrow.

My eyes were looking for grandma as soon as I was in front of the door. My hand was trembling as I hold the door.

I went inside and saw my Grandmother lying in bed very pale and peacefully sleeping. Tears were now clouding my eyes.

"May you rest in peace, Grandma" I cried. I felt someone touched my shoulder.

I look up and saw Dr. Martinez, Grandma's Doctor. "My dearest Condolence Niomi," he said. Dr. Martinez is also my Godfather.

"Thank you," I said, "Did you tell my family about this?" He shook his head

"Please don't tell them" I plead "I'll take care of my Grandmothers Funeral, I just got paid," I said

"Niomi please be safe on what job you're doing," He said. "I'll call my Secretary to prepare the funeral" I nodded

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and called Xejan, my only cousin who knew where I am.

"Xejan" I called

"Who is this?" He asked

"It's me," I said

"Yomi?"

"Yeah. Grandma's Gone" I told him

"Y-you're not j-joking right?" He sadly said

"I'm not" I again felt tears rolling down my eyes

"Where a-are you?" He asked

"St. Agatha Hospital"

"On my way" I heard the engine start on the other side

"Be safe" and ended the call.

I sat on the stool and arched my body so my head can lie down on the pillow.

I felt someone tapping on my shoulders and I opened my eyes. I saw Xejan with a worried look. He knew that I was the one who took care of Grandma after we escaped out of the mansion.

"Sorry I fell asleep," I said and properly sat on the chair.

"It's okay" he calmly said.

"Did you tell them already?" I asked

"No. They repelled grandma I think they don't even care"

"You should tell them after the funeral" I suggested

"Maybe I will," he said, "how will you pay for the funeral and the hospital bill?" He asked me

"I got a new job," I said while looking down

"Be careful with that new job of yours"

"Don't worry it's not killing someone I'm secretly protecting someone" he knew that I'm an assassin

"And may I know who are you protecting?" He curiously asked

"Your best friend" he's eyes widened

"Nick?" He asked

"Yeah. I accepted his father's offer" Xejan was also going to Oakwood University so that means were schoolmates

"How much?" Curiosity kills the cat

"1 million a month" he looked at me with glaring eyes "his father is rich" I answered

"Niomi may I remind you, you are richer than them" he replied

"Yeah when I turn 20"

"2 more years Niomi," he said, "why don't you go back to your parents?" My parents are in Japan while I'm in California to be with my grandmother

"1 more year Xejan I'll be going home" I assured him
