The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

"Hey, the two of you… where have you been?" Brandon asked Bianca and Clifford. 

They got separated from Alveena and Brandon when Clifford talked to Bianca privately.

"Oh, we just bought some devices on the first floor. I asked for Bianca's recommendation." Clifford answered Brandon, raising the paper bags containing the tracking device and other self-defense equipment that Alveena could use to protect herself in times of danger.

Clifford was hoping that his hunch was wrong. He didn't want Alveena's life to be put in danger. If possible, he hoped that he was the target of those men, not his sister.

On the other hand, Alveena was watching Clifford and Bianca suspiciously. It seemed that the two had stopped their bantering.

'What happened between the two? They just disappeared suddenly. And when they came back, they looked like they were already getting along.

Alveena smiled inwardly thinking that maybe the two didn't hate each other so much. Who knows… there might be something more to their relationship.

Meanwhile, Brandon looked at his wristwatch, realizing that they already spent lots of time roaming around the mall. It was now time for him and Bianca to leave and resume their dinner date.

"Alveena, Clifford, I think I have to steal Bianca. We need to go now. I already reserved a spot in the Victoria's Garden Restaurant near this mall." Brandon said, grabbing Bianca's hands.

"Alright, enjoy your date! Thank you for accompanying us," Alveena said cheerfully, waving her hands to them.

"You're welcome, Alvee. Let's hang out again next time!" Bianca said. She was thinking that she would spend more time with Alveena and Clifford now that she would be working as a personal bodyguard in the meantime.

Clifford just nodded his head at Brandon, then his eyes moved to Bianca. He was wondering if Bianca would try to do it... one night stand with Brandon.

Clifford frowned at his thoughts. He shouldn't be thinking about it. But with Brandon's attitude, he might not refuse her just in case she would try to ask Brandon to sleep with her.

Bianca and Brandon had already left but Clifford was still rooted in his spot, glancing in the direction where the two disappeared from his sight.

Alveena had to nudge his shoulder to catch his attention.

"Hey, Brother, what are you looking at? Are you spacing out just now?"

Her voice and her touch snapped him back to the present. 

"Oh, it's nothing. By the way, are you done buying all the things that you need? Shall we go home now?"

Alveena smiled brightly before nodding her head. She was satisfied since she bought the gifts for her parents and the Davis Family.

Soon the brother and sister went to the parking lot of the mall. Clifford was still cautious, observing his surroundings. 

He was checking whether those men were still following them. He heaved a sigh of relief when he didn't see any sign of them.

When they got inside the car, Clifford talked to Alveena, giving him those devices for her protection.

"Alvee, for precautionary measures, I want you to keep these items and bring them with you at all times."

Clifford handed over the paper bags to her. Alveena accepted it with a frown.

"What are these for, Brother?" Alveena asked as she checked the items inside.

"For your protection. I feel like we are being followed a while ago. I don't want to take it for granted. It's best for us to be prepared for the worst-case scenario. I also hired a bodyguard for you." Clifford informed Alveena as she continued to check the items one by one.

She saw the pepper spray, a small stun gun, and a tracking location device which was built in a watch.

"Is this really necessary, brother?" Alveena asked her brother.

"Yes, of course. This is for your protection." Clifford stated matter-of-factly.

Alveena smiled sweetly as her brother was becoming protective of her once again.

"Okay, Bro! I will keep this. Thank you for your love and concern. I really appreciate it!" Alveena pulled her brother into a hug.

Clifford felt strange because he didn't feel that awkward anymore hugging Alveena like this. Their relationship between them changed when Clifford was heartbroken. But now, he was slowly going back to his old self.

The incident between Zhen-Zhen and him affected him. He wanted to start over again, hoping that someday Zhen-Zhen would be able to forgive him or somehow they could become friends again.

He just needed more time and he would be able to face Tristan again with no more bitterness left in his heart.

After a while, Alveena wore her watch that was bought by her brother. The watch looked ordinary. No one would think that there was a tracking device installed in that watch. Bianca specifically chose this design for Alveena.

Clifford also bought one for him. The tracking device was connected to their phones, including Bianca's phone so that she could monitor Alveena's and Clifford's location whenever she wanted.

"By the way, Brother, who is the bodyguard you are referring to?" Alveena asked him curiously.

Clifford just smiled cheekily without telling her. "You're gonna meet the bodyguard tomorrow. For now, let's go home. You still have to prepare. Your boyfriend and his parents will be coming soon."

"Yes, that's true brother! Let's go home!"

Clifford and Alveena drove back to Sy Residence. Little did they know that someone was watching them in the parking area. The man contacted his boss.

"Bishop, how is it?" Mr. Miller's voice was heard from the other line.

"Boss, we retreated for now. Alveena was not alone. She was with her brother and her brother seemed to notice us following them a while ago," Bishop reported to him.

"Fool! You have to be more careful! I want this task to be perfectly done!" Mr. Miller said, feeling enraged. He couldn't wait to teach Alveena and Andrew a lesson.

"Yes, Boss. We will find ways to capture her. We will not let you down, Boss!"

"Alright! I need positive results and good news within three days! Do it fast!"

"Noted, Boss!"
