CHAPTER 781. PRINCESS BY DAY. BLIND BY CHOICEIt wasn’t a threat, just a bottle of something strong and two glasses, and yet Cameron felt like Jhon Hopkins had a gun pressed right against his chest. However, there was nothing left to do but face the situation head-on, so he finally sat down and took a deep breath while his boss poured their drinks."I think I made a mistake choosing you as my daughter’s bodyguard," he said bluntly, and Cameron held his breath because those words burned more than the bourbon. "At least the others chickened out quickly, but they had a certain sense of knowing their place. And I can’t help but feel that you’ve completely lost yours."Cameron pressed his lips together because no one needed to tell him that—he knew it perfectly well. But no matter how hard he had tried to keep his distance from Dandara, it had simply been impossible. So if Mr. Hopkins decided to fire him right then and there, he wouldn’t have a single argument to fight it."I guess, in the

CHAPTER 783. PRINCESS BY DAY. A TRUTH WORTH FIGHTING FORThere was no other possible answer, so Janick simply let out a sigh filled with determination."I’ll do whatever it takes. I don’t mind being examined, interviewed, or… I’ll do whatever it takes," he declared, and Cameron placed a hand on his shoulder."And in three months, when you’re out of the hospital, we’ll find a place where we can live together," he told him. "No matter how you leave this place, you’re going back to school, you’re going to make a ton of friends, and—""And are you going back to school?" Janick suddenly asked, and Dandara noticed the way her bodyguard pressed his lips together—that expression she had already learned to recognize as fake."We’ll think about all of that later, calmly," Cameron replied. "Right now, you just need to focus on yourself and know that everything’s going to be okay. That’s enough."Janick nodded slowly, but as soon as the lawyer asked Cameron for a minute to discuss the scheduling

CHAPTER 785. PRINCESS BY DAY. Are You Ready?Jhon Hopkins didn't expect anyone to understand him, because after all, Dandara was no one's daughter but his own. However, strangely enough, the only person who did understand him was one of the people who would be most hurt by all of this.Maybe it was a good heart or low self-esteem, or perhaps Cameron had simply realized that there was an abyss between them that couldn't be filled with just love and goodwill, because it wasn’t just about two—it was about one. Maybe he, too, would do everything in his power to protect his daughter when he had one. So instead of resenting Mr. Hopkins, he simply did what he did best: survive.Dandara had returned to her school routine, and he continued accompanying her. Then came training sessions with Billy, and those were a hundred times harder than playing bodyguard to his crazy girl.A couple of times a week, they ended up in the industrial district, on the underground racing tracks, where she let go o

CHAPTER 787. PRINCESS BY DAY. Broken HeartsDandara closed her eyes for a second. This had to be a joke. It had to be a damn joke, or she had woken up that day in an alternate reality, because Cameron’s words made no sense to her."You can’t stay with me?... Cameron, what the hell are you talking about? If you want another job, I get it! But what does that have to do with you and me, with us as a couple?" she demanded, while he closed his eyes for just a moment before answering."It has everything to do with it. It has everything to do with the fact that sometimes, no matter how much we love someone, our paths aren’t meant to be together. And yours and mine aren’t, Dandara—at least not right now.""There is no other time, Cameron!" she exclaimed, stepping back as tears welled in her eyes. Because no matter how strong she was, no matter how tough she tried to be, it was stupid to deny that she had fallen for this man to the bone—and the idea of them parting just like that didn’t fit in

CHAPTER 789. PRINCESS BY DAY. An Important ProjectIt might have seemed like he had a choice, but the reality was very different. No one with so little time at that architecture firm landed a major project this quickly, even if it was just a consulting job. So Cameron grinned from ear to ear and extended his hand to shake his boss’s in a confident gesture."Of course, you can count on me," he replied with certainty. A second later, he began receiving all the details about his new trip to Switzerland.It was supposed to last about two months, and of course, the firm was covering absolutely everything. So, six hours later, when Cameron returned to his apartment, the first thing he did was sit down in front of his brother and sister-in-law, who were trying to understand why he was so nervous."I’m going back to Switzerland," he blurted out, and the two people in front of him looked at him in surprise."What?" Janick murmured."Yeah, I’m going back to Switzerland, but it’s not permanent,
