CHAPTER 745. PRINCESS BY DAY. The One Holding the LeashMessing with the devil—that’s what it felt like, and Cameron knew it. He was also sure that the moment John Hopkins walked back through that door, she would go right back to being the sweet and innocent preschool teacher she pretended to be.Dandara looked at him as if she were about to rip his head off, but a minute later, her entire expression relaxed."Am I sensing an attempt at blackmail, Mr. Lake?" she challenged, swaying her hips as she walked past him."I would never dare, Miss Princess. The money your father pays me is more than enough. I just want to start this professional relationship without lies. You don’t lie to me, I keep quiet about your truths, you stay happy, and I do my job protecting you. Sound fair?"Dandara circled him, trying to suppress the smirk tugging at her lips. Of course, it didn’t sound fair. But she had her ways and her timing. Every single high-profile bodyguard her father had hired quit sooner or
CHAPTER 746. PRINCESS BY DAY. The New BodyguardJust to be clear, of course Dandara had a real friend—one she truly trusted—but she had never brought her home or introduced her to her parents because she didn’t want her to be corrupted by their constant displays of love and kindness. She knew all the sordid stories through gossip… and because Uncle Billy was a gossip, but to the rest of the family, her parents were still Saint Jhon and Saint Chiara.In fact, Sonya was the one who always helped her get rid of her bodyguards. Dealing with one crazy woman was hard enough, but handling two? That was like stepping straight into a damn madhouse.However, if she expected a bad reaction from Cameron, the next picture she tried to take proved otherwise. She saw him undo a button on his shirt, shrug one shoulder out of his jacket, and adjust his… package by pulling at his pants."Are you freaking kidding me? The kids are about to come back from recess!" Dandara scolded him."Well, be clear with
CHAPTER 747. PRINCESS BY DAY. An Unconventional BodyguardDandara took a deep breath and lifted her chin. No one had ever managed to push her buttons the way this man did. Usually, it was her who drove her father’s bodyguards insane. But she still had an ace up her sleeve, and she was ready to use it."Alright… In that case, you drive," she declared, walking ahead of him. Cameron looked straight ahead over her head, reminding himself that it was highly unprofessional to check out his boss’s daughter’s ass.The problem was—it was really damn hard! Because while it was true that during the day she dressed like a fairy-tale princess for her students, wearing loose, flowy dresses, at night she wore tight clothes that hugged all the right curves.So, he gritted his teeth and led her toward an SUV he had already taken out of the estate. He opened the back door for her with all the deference he could muster, but he barely had time to jump inside before she left him behind—because the second
CHAPTER 748. PRINCESS BY DAY. An Unconventional BodyguardDandara’s rage wasn’t enough to take her anywhere—at least not with him, and especially not with his bossy, smug attitude… not after he had grabbed her boobs and—damn it, just her boobs!Cameron didn’t even flinch when she spun the SUV around and headed straight back home. He watched as she got out, grumbling her frustration under her breath, and then stopped beside the wall, offering her his hand."Need help climbing?" he offered, sounding like the most helpful bodyguard in the world."For what? So you can grab my ass this time?" she snapped."I already had that in my face—not that big of a deal," he reminded her, watching as her face turned bright red with fury.Dandara shoved his hand aside and, with a precise jump, climbed over the wall—the same way she had come in.Cameron took a deep breath and strolled leisurely to one of the service entrances, unlocking the gate and casually driving the SUV inside. He chatted for a whil
CHAPTER 749. PRINCESS BY DAY. The Smart Woman’s KitDandara wanted the ground to open up beneath her feet and swallow that man whole, in the worst way possible. She would have sworn that no one could ever put a stop to her, yet here she was, dealing with that damn bodyguard—who wasn’t even a professional—turning out to be the only one smart enough to keep up with her every move.She had no choice but to get into the truck. This was already the second night she was going to be absent from… wherever she was going, and she couldn’t afford that.So she shot her dear bodyguard a murderous look and slumped into the back seat, sulking, while he shamelessly buckled her seatbelt before getting behind the wheel himself."Where to, Miss Hopkins?" he asked with a cocky grin."Just drive, Cameron," she growled, pulling out her phone and texting her most unreliable accomplice. "I’ll tell you where we’re going when we get there."The man smirked and took off down the road into the night, hoping for
CHAPTER 750. PRINCESS BY DAY. If You Know How to Pray…Cameron couldn’t say he was an expert at dealing with crazy women because, to be honest, by the time he ended up in jail, he had just been a nineteen-year-old kid. Good-looking? Sure. Focused on every reckless thrill except girls? That too.And while it was true that in the past three months, he had managed to scratch a ten-year itch, it was also true that Dandara Hopkins was a whole different story. Case in point: she had just thrown him to the wolves—some very hungry ones, because Cameron swore they were about to jump the fence and pounce on him.“Are you out of your mind?!” he exclaimed, snatching the microphone from her hand and tossing it aside as he moved dangerously close to her.“What’s the problem?! I’m putting five hundred opportunities right in front of you, babe, so you can put your XXL to good use tonight.”“You’ve crossed the line, Dandara!” he growled.“Well, you should’ve thought about that before putting the Smart
CHAPTER 751. PRINCESS BY DAY. The Pictures Don’t Do You JusticeCameron already knew he just wanted to knock some sense into that stubborn head of hers, but after so many years of suffering, he never missed a chance for a laugh or a little satisfaction—even if that meant messing with the spoiled brat who truly believed she could do whatever she wanted.And speaking of that… how was it possible that former CIA agent John Hopkins hadn’t noticed his daughter was a loose cannon, with a high chance of ending up in jail for participating in illegal activities?“Or maybe he does know and just chooses to ignore it…” he muttered. “In the end, everyone picks their own blindness.”And he was living proof that people made their own choices—believing or not believing, seeing or refusing to see…So, he tried to enjoy the rest of the race, because there was no denying that these girls were so good behind the wheel they could probably kick a lot of men’s asses on the track. By the fourth and final la
CHAPTER 752. PRINCESS BY DAY. An Indecipherable WomanIt had to be a throat issue or something like that, because Dandara couldn’t understand why that damn man made her swallow every two minutes. But as if her pheromones had sent an SOS to the universe, the conversation was abruptly interrupted by the cheerful presence of Becca, who arrived to announce that the next race was about to start.Dandara turned her back on him and walked down the stands, leaving Cameron with his heart racing faster than one of the engines but with his curiosity at an all-time high about everything happening around him.There were three races per night, all with high stakes, and Dandara participated in one per week. In the meantime, she ran that circuit with an iron fist. Between races, there were games, food, music, and even dancers, like some damn halftime show at an American football championship.No one would have imagined that the sweet kindergarten teacher—as her father insisted on calling her—was capa
