Past

Vanessa was born into a wealthy family of diplomats. From childhood, she was accustomed to luxury, social events, and the constant attention of others. She was convinced that any man would sooner or later end up at her feet.

When her father introduced her to Damien Astor, she assumed he would be her future husband. Damien was genuinely captivated by her beauty, often flirting with her and accompanying her to receptions, but he never experienced true feelings for her.

Vanessa later met Kayden Blake.

For the first time in her life she was refused.

She tried to flirt with him, invited him to dinner, deliberately sought him out, and even openly confessed her feelings. But each time, Kaidan coldly and indifferently made it clear that he was completely uninterested.

Vanessa soon realized the reason.

Raven's full attention was focused on just one girl: Lillian Blackwood.

It was then that admiration turned to hatred.

But after countless rejections, love turned into a painful obsession.

Over the years of service, he carried out dozens of covert operations and earned a reputation as a man who never fails a mission.

That's why I accepted the offer to become Lillian's bodyguard.

Over time, the work became much more to him.

Past

Lillian was born into a wealthy and prominent family. From childhood, she was taught etiquette, foreign languages, and art.

At the age of sixteen, her life changed forever: her mother died during an assassination attempt, shielding her daughter with her body.

After this, Lillian was constantly guarded, and a few years later, her father appointed her as Raven's personal bodyguard.

At first she thought of him as a cold machine.

Now I increasingly notice concern in his silence.

⸻

Lillian's parents

Alexander Blackwood is an influential politician and the head of the family. He's strict and calculating, but he truly loves his daughter and is willing to sacrifice everything for her safety.

Victoria Blackwood (deceased) – a renowned philanthropist. A kind, wise, and incredibly loving mother. She died during an assassination attempt while protecting Lillian.

Since her mother's death, Lillian Blackwood's life has become a whirlwind of security, armored vehicles, and constant danger. Her father, one of the country's most influential politicians, receives threats almost weekly, so he trusts his daughter's safety to only one person.

Kaidan Blake, known by the callsign "Raven," is a legendary operative of the elite unit. A hulking man in black tactical gear, he never removes his mask while on duty. His mission is simple: protect Lillian at any cost.

But things get complicated when a man appears in the girl's life whom Raven hates more than any threat.

Damien Astor is the heir to a major financial empire, Lillian's childhood friend, and a man who has long been in love with her. He openly courts her, invites her to meetings, and constantly challenges his bodyguard.

Every time Damien gets close to Lillian, Raven silently stands between them.

Every time Raven touches her, Damian can barely contain his irritation.

One is ready to die for her.

Another dreams of giving her a normal life.

And Lillian increasingly understands that her heart can no longer remain on the sidelines.
