I heard footsteps getting closer behind us and I clutched at the stranger's arm in fear.

"Give the girl to us and you won't get hurt."The kidnapper with the scary scar on his face ordered,I whimpered and buried my face in the man's chest,afraid he would let me go.

The handsome stranger pushed me behind him."Over my dead body."His voice was a dangerous whisper.

"Suit yourself."the kidnapper said picking up a piece of iron from the ground.

The stranger dadged the first swing of the iron and punched him in his face hard.

"Is that all you got?"the kidnapper asked,spitting out blood from his mouth.

The stranger didn't say anything,instead he kicked him in his shin and spun around so that his arms were now choking the kidnapper.

A shot was fired behind us splitting the quietness of the dark alley,I screamed and covered my ears,snapping my eyes shut.

What if the handsome stranger was hurt?I didn't want to see.

I forced my eyes open and stared at the scene in front of me in shock, the kidnapper was shot instead--by his own partner.

He looked me straight in the eye-as if to say 'I'll be back for you' and before anyone could react jumped into his jeep and drove off.

The stranger placed the kidnapper on the ground and checked his pulse before raising up and kicking down a trash can."Shit!"He shouted ,his voice furious.

He squeezed his eyes shut running his hands through his dark brown hair.

Finally he turned to me-deep blue eyes pierced right through me.I felt totally exposed under his gaze,my heart pounded and my head buzzed from everything that just occurred.

He walked closer to me and I felt like my heart beat increased with each step he made .

He was now directly under the streetlight and I could see his features clearly as I would of been able to see in daylight.The light chased across his face ,illuminating his strong angular jaw,straight perfectly shaped nose and those hypnotizing eyes,dark and intense,eyes that anyone could drown in if they stared too long.

He stopped a little distance away,as if he expected me to run away from him.

"Are you okay?"he asked.

I was stunned speechless,he had a deep masculine voice that left me enchanted.

He walked closer to me,concern written all over his face."Are you okay?"he repeated.

I blinked twice before nodding like an idiot.

He pulled out his phone and dialed a number."We have a dead body at fifth Avenue.Send the team."

He sighed."Good.Do you think you can drive?"he asked looking at me as if I were a little child.

Was I okay to drive?Was it weird that I wanted to lie so that he would drop me home?

I nodded against my will.

He checked his watch and groaned out loud."Damn it I'm late."

Was he late for a date?

Why did that thought stir up unwanted jealousy in me,I forced myself to suppress the feelings and focused on the incredibly sexy man in front of me.

He turned his attention back to the body in front of him,searching the pockets.

I just stood there unable to move,was it the shock of the incident or the shock of this extremely hot guy in front of me?

It probably was a little bit of both.

He looked up at me with those striking blue ice chip of eyes again."We will  need to keep in contact.In case those guys come back looking for you.What's your number?"

I searched my mind,what was my number again?

"1-877-439-8542"I replied finally finding my voice and my memory.

He nodded saving it on his phone.
"I'll call you to find out how you're keeping.But for now you can go home.I would of dropped you home myself but I can't leave this body here."he explained.

I nodded.The only problem was that I couldn't seem to move my feet.

He looked at me confused."Aren't you going to your car?"

"I'm sorry.I can't seem to move."I answered honestly feeling embarrassed.

He studied me for a moment before walking closer to where I stood.

"What are you doing?"I inquired nervously.

"Getting you to your car."he said picking me up bridal style.
I yelped in surprise.

"Relax.I'll put you down in a minute."

I closed my eyes to the sensations I felt with his body making contact with mines,his hands on my bare legs brought along feelings that were alien to me.

He reached the car -too soon and placed me in the front seat."I'll call you."he said before turning to walk away.

"Wait!"I called realising I didn't even thank him for saving me.

"What is it?"he asked turning back around holding my gaze with his intense look.

"Thank you."I whispered.

He nodded."Drive safely."

I shut the door and against my wishes drove off leaving him there.

Would I ever see him again?

..........................................
As soon as I opened the front door to the house I was greeted by worried faces.

"Where have you been?"my mother asked angrily.

"What happened to your hand?"my dad demanded examining my hands.

I looked down and noticed the faint bruises on my arms,probably from where the kidnapper had gripped me.

"You had us all worried."grandfather Liam said with a look of disapproval .

"Rosella would you say something."Brent all but shouted impatiently.

"Let's take a seat and I'll tell you all about it."I answered softly fidgeting with the hem of my dress.

We all took a seat.

"Now talk."my father commanded.

"I left the party at seven.While on my way home I noticed a car following me.I pulled onto a back road to see if it really was and it followed me into the back road.When I pulled into another road to head back onto the highway it was blocked off.Two men with guns came out of the vehicle-"

"Men with guns!"grandfather Ben shouted clutching his cup in a tight grip.

"Yes grandpa.They told me to get out of the vehicle or they would shoot.I started to scream and one of them covered my mouth.I bit his hand and took off running until I bounced into someone.Whoever he was,he saved me."I explained,my mind going back to the handsome stranger.

My mother had her hands over her mouth ,while my father and grandfathers' rose up from where they were sitting angrily.

"They tried to kidnap my baby girl."my father shouted turning red with fury,grabbing the phone on the table as though he was about to get someone to make them pay for trying to kidnap me,which was absurd,I doubt anyone could catch that kidnapper now.

"Remain calm son.These obviously were the same guys.They've strike again.They won't rest until they have her now.She is in serious danger.We have to find those kidnappers before they get to her first."grandfather Liam said sounding worried.

"They can try all they want but they won't get close to my granddaughter." Grandfather Ben cut in.

"Who was the guy who saved you?"Brent asked,his look deadly,I rarely ever saw my brother this angry.

"I-I don't know.He took my number and said he would call me to see if I was okay."

"We need to thank him."my mother said ,finally finding her voice.

She looked at me with tears in her eyes and pulled me into her embrace."Thank God nothing happened to you."

"You need a bodyguard." my father said in a flat tone.

"And I know just the right person."Grandfather Liam cut in.

"A bodyguard?" I asked in distress.The thought of someone knowing my every whereabouts, being my shadow for an entire day was not something I was fond of.

"Before you say anything against it Rosella,I won't change my decision."my dad warned.

I sighed."Okay father."

"Who are you assigning as her bodyguard?"Brent asked.

"John Miller."

"Why does it have to be John,we have many other agents capable of protecting her."Brent suggested.

"He is our  best agent,Rosella is the next victim,with John by her side she will be safe and we would also have a better chance at catching the criminals."he explained pulling out his phone."I'll call him now and ask him to come over."

I couldn't believe this,despite almost being  kidnapped and saved by the most handsome man I'd ever seen ,I was now being forced to go around with an FBI agent as a bodyguard for Lord alone knows how long.

Somehow the nightmares were already coming through.

My life was transforming and turning upside down while I watched helplessly.
