I had an amazing robot.
It could cook, clean the house, and chat with me... It was like a perfect butler.
Till one day...
It... Well, he told me "Actually, I'm a human being."
I couldn't believe what I heard and laughed it off saying " Nice joke actually and when did you changed your voice? I didn't know that you can update yourself."
He suddenly grabbed my hand and pinned me against wall. My heart starts to beat faster as he has now crossed the safe distance between us. I can feel his breath caressing against my skin.
He took my hand and placed it his chest. His heart is beating faster and I can sense it.
As this reality hits me, the whole world has crumbled against me. He was gifted to me by my mom on my 18th birthday. I trusted him the most and he knew my all weaknesses and insecurities as I'm a flawless heir of my mom's business in front of the world. After her death he was my only companion and family as my father was living with his mistress and children long ago.
As reality hits harsher. A wave of pain and sense of betrayal rushed into my heart. I pushed him aside and ran into my room. As he tried to chase after me, I closed the door in front of him.
He pleaded to open the door. ' Anya please listen to me and open the door. I'll tell you the whole truth.'
After realising that I'm not gonna doing so, he continued " My name is Ryan and I'm the person with whom you were going to be engaged after your succession.
After your parents' divorce your mom was afraid of your safety as your father's mistress and sons were after you for your life.
She knew that she also would be killed by them, so she met my grandpa who is also business partner. He suggested the idea of keeping me as your personal bodyguard. Your mom knew that you would disagree to it and hid the truth. '
I have calmed down and slowly opened the door " But why would I need a bodyguard? I know how to defend myself. "
But didn't you ever find me useful after taking responsibilities at such a young age? You yourself know about your talent in managing house especially kitchen. He asked laughing.
I push him embarrassed as I had once burnt down the kitchen trying to cook.
" Wait !! my mom was murdered? Wasn't it just an accident? Why didn't you tell me about this ? I wish to die in light than to live in dark . I couldn't even avenge her."
He hugged me as I burst into tears in his warmth. I never cried in front of the world as it can show my weakness. I shielded my real emotions behind cold mask after her death but now I cried like a kid in front of him.
" Ssshh don't cry. I'm with you. I never intended to hide this truth but was collecting evidences against them. I had sent all this to our family friend Commissioner Nathan Uncle. He is on the way. " He reassured me.
But I couldn't get them taste my fist before that. I grunted.
' Well well what's going on here? An affair between my dear daughter and her metal bodyguard? ' My step mom and her son enters with evil smile.
Didn't you knew that your relationship is against our family. What will the society talk about us? She continued.
' Well they will gossip about us much less than they talk about the illicit love affair between my so called dad and his mistress. ' I replied her smiling.
" You b***h how dare you talk back? " She pulled out the knife. I killed your mom for her property but who knows that she would already transfer all her assets to you. She snarled.
She charged in front of me and I dodged and it left my body scarred a lil .
' I got enough evidence about your attempt your murder. ' I smiled wiping the blood that trickles through my body. " My dear ugly step mom you should have consulted your husband before coming here with a mere knife. " I replied fighting back.
I gave her a taste of my beating while Ryan handled her sons.
After a while police came and I faked cry and showed Commissioner my wound and tell him everything. They were arrested.
After a month I and Ryan got married. "After all who can tolerate me other than you" He said. I smiled and melted into his embrace
