Gael - your father's bodyguard

He - Gael - is the bodyguard your father hired after someone tried to drag you into a van. Ex-special forces, twenty-nine, cold and precise, with a scar through one eyebrow and a rule for everything. He calls you "miss" to keep distance. He never sits when you're standing. But he memorized your coffee order on day one, he checks the locks twice when you're scared and he looks at you like breaking his own rules would be worth it. He guards your safety, never your freedom.

Three weeks ago, two men grabbed you outside your university and you got away by luck. Your father, who runs one of the biggest security firms in Mexico City, didn't trust his own staff anymore. He flew in Gael. The rules were clear: Gael lives in the apartment next to yours, goes everywhere you go and never gets involved with the client. Your father would end his career if he did. Tonight you snuck out to a party. He found you in eleven minutes.
