3) Hired

Author's POV

Rose's flight landed in New York around 10 am. The cab driver dropped her in front of the knight's mansion, she was looking at the beautiful castle like mansion which was located away from the main city surrounded with trees and peaceful environment. She walked towards the main gate with her luggage.

When the guards saw a girl in a black hoodie standing there they opened the gate and inquired...

"Who are you?... What do you want?..."

The guards voice came out rough and threatening but she ignored it.

She showed them Damian's card which Renzo gave her...

" I am here for Mr. Knight..."

Guards examined the card and called jack, jack came outside when the guards told him that a girl is here to meet their boss...

Jack saw her and his eyes narrowed in confusion...

"Hii, I am jack and you are ?"

He gave a beautiful charming smile to a beautiful girl standing in front of him...

Rose didn't returned his smile she just nodded and replied...

"Hello Mr. Jack, I am Rose Mr. Knight's new bodyguard, Renzo send me here."

As soon as she spoke these words, Jack's and guards eyes widened in shock...

"Renzo send you for this job, are you sure?"

Jack asked confused, it was hard for him to believe that Renzo send a girl for a dangerous job like this.

Rose nodded in confirmation...

"Ok, come I'll show you Damian's office you can talk to him about the job..."

He said and offered to carry her luggage inside but she refused.

Getting inside she welcomed with the view of luxurious living room which was decorated in dark theme.

Leaving her luggage in the living room jack lead her towards Damian's office, he knocked and entered. Damian was sitting in his office chair, reading some important files...

"Your bodyguard is here..."

Jack said, Damian kept his file aside giving him his all attention he gestured him to call his new bodyguard inside. Jack told her to come inside.

She entered in his office, standing in front of him confidently, definitely she was tired after travelling for hours but her face and body posture was not showing even a hint of tiredness.

On the other hand Damian looked between her and jack with confused expressions.

"She is your new bodyguard, Renzo send her for this job..."

Jack said making him frown...

"What...? This girl as a bodyguard, is he fucking crazy?...."

He looked at the girl standing in Front of him, he took in her appearance she was wearing black hoodie and black jean with white shoes, her hair was tied in high ponytail, she was tall and fair, high cheek bones, her pink lips were set in thin line, her big dove like grey eyes were staring at him just like his but her expressions were calm. She was looking harmless, but he didn't know that this calm girl standing in front him is actually a storm, who has power to destroy everything.

Damian was angry and disappointed with Renzo. He told him to send his best man and he send this beautiful girl which he was not sure if she is even capable enough to protect herself, protecting him was other thing.

He called Renzo ...

"Hello Renzo, I told you to send me a bodyguard what is this girl doing here, I am not hosting a fashion show here."

He spat angrily...

"I know Mr. Knight and trust me she is one of the best fighter, even your men don't stand a chance against her, I know what I am doing, she is more than perfect for this job, if you don't believe me test her."

Renzo replied back, Damian released a frustrated sigh...

"One of the strongest, huh?... Fine but if she fails you will face my wrath, you understand me..."

Damian threatened him...

"You can kill me if you want, if she fails..."

He said confidently and Damian narrowed his eyes, this is the first time he heard Renzo speaking so confidently about one of his student, he didn't even bragged like this when he hired Ashton.

He disconnected the call...

"Jack order our best 15 fighters to gather in the backyard, and you girl what's your name?..."

He asked turning towards her...

"Rose..."

She replied with straight face...

"Follow me..."

Damian ordered her and exited the office, jack and Rose both followed him, jack informed all the men to gather in backyard. He was curious what Damian was about to do with this poor girl, he glanced at her thinking he will see fear or nervousness on her face but she was dangerously calm and walking confidently which made him frown in confusion.

The three of them came to the backyard where all his 15 men were already standing in line waiting for his next order. He turned towards her...

"Prove yourself, show me you are capable enough to become my bodyguard, fight with them."

He ordered her, jacks eyes widened at his words. Men standing in front of him were heartless monsters, Damian's best fighters and he was sure that this girl will definitely end up in hospital after the fight.

"Okay..."

Rose replied she took of her wristwatch and hoodie, placing it on the stand near the door,

She walked towards the men.

"Don't you think you are going too hard on her, how will she manage to fight with 15 well trained fighters..."

Jack said to Damian....

"She shouldn't have came here for this job if she is not capable enough, I don't want someone weak to become my bodyguard..."

He replied casually, both of them turned their attention towards the scene when they heard their men moaning in pain...

Rose was beating the shit out of his so called best fighters, her speed was like a wind before his men could react they landed on the floor by her powerful kicks and punches. She knows the weak points of the human body and it was not difficult for her to take down 15 grown up men with her excellent fighting skills, her training was more difficult than this, it was too easy for her

Within 10 minutes Damian's all men were lying on the ground moaning and screaming in pain.

Both of them looked at her with shock, they never saw a woman fighting like this, she was too good. She stood in front of him like she didn't beat the shit out of his men a minute ago, her breathing was heavy, few strands of hair hanging on her face, his eyes lingered on her body she was not wearing her loose hoodie anymore so her curves were clearly visible in her black tight tank top and jean. He stared at her impassive face which was totally unaffected by his charm, his eyes sparkles in adoration, he was impressed with her fighting skills.

"Why are we feeding these fuckers..."

Jack shook his head disappointingly, and called the medical help for them.

"Jack show her around and provide all the necessary information about the job, welcome to the mafia rose you will be my bodyguard from now on."

Damian ordered jack not taking his eyes away from her grey one...

"Thank you Mr. Knight..."

Rose replied nonchalantly...

"You can call me boss and send your file to my office before leaving with jack..."

"Ok boss..."

She gave him a firm nod and he left.

"Ok, come I'll show you around..."

Jack gestured her to follow him...

When they entered in living room jack introduced her to Simon the security head, Simon was a man in his late thirties, with tall and build body, he was giant and scary...

"Rose meet Simon our security head, Simon meet Rose, boss's new bodyguard..."

Simon looked at the girl standing in front of him and frown of disapproval appeared on his face.

"Female bodyguard?... Why... I don't think she can stand against trained Mafias or Assassin's..?"

Simon asked jack glaring at Rose...

Rose understood that she is ' not so welcome' on her new job, she already knew that people will doubt and question her abilities so she already prepared herself for that...

"Ask your boss about it, Simon. Take her file to the boss, he asked for it..."

Jack told Rose to hand him her file which contains all the information about her.

Simon took the file and head towards Damian's office...

Jack showed her around the mansion, it was classified in 3 wings, Wing A was only for Damian no one was allowed there without his permission, wing B was for all his men, all his men were staying there, and wing C was for guests and other family members Damian never lets his family stay in his wing, he likes his privacy.

He also informed Rose about their private hospital and training ground which was located near the mansion...

"It hardly takes 15 min to reach there, I will show you that in the evening, your joining today's training session, be ready at 5pm. Boss will give you all your weapons and Guns there.."

He said walking towards A wing...

"Boss recently got attacked so you will stay in his wing, no one is allowed there without his permission so don't let anyone in without his permission expect two maids who take care of this wing... We can't trust people around him, be careful..."

Rose was walking closely behind him listening all the information and instructions very carefully.

He stopped in front of a room which was close to Damian's bedroom, he opened the door and gestured her to enter first. She entered the big room which has queen size bed, neatly cleaned and beautifully designed with attached bathroom, her luggage was already placed in the corner.

"This is your room, it's close to boss's room so you can reach to him quickly whenever he needs you, your Mobile phone and Bluetooth is on your bed and since we thought the bodyguard will be male we ordered suits according to it, you will get your bodyguard suits till night don't worry about it. You can use the kitchen and gym in this wing if you want."

He finished his talking looking at her,

"And one more thing Rose, if anything happens to Damian because of your irresponsibility or negligence then I will personally kill you, keep this thing in your mind..."

His face was deadly serious, his black eyes threatening...

"Don't worry I'll protect him with my life, you can trust me..."

She replied in monotone voice.

Damian kept her file back on the table and looked at a confused Simon standing in front of him...

"Boss, are you sure?... I mean female bodyguard?...."

Simon hesitantly spoke his thoughts...

"So what if she is female, she proved herself and she is one of the best fighter of R agency. She is Class A fighter while Ashton was class B, Simon... She is Highly skilled, even you can't win against her."

Simon's eyes widened at the word class A, he fought with Ashton many times while tranning and never won, if he can't win against the class B then it was impossible for him to win against the class A.

"But we can't trust her, what if she betrays us..."

Damian clenched his jaw at his words, and pinned him with his angry glare.

"You don't fucking tell me what should I do and what not, or you want me to remind you who is the boss here..."

Simon's gulped nervously...

"I..l a..am sorry boss."

"Get out..."

Damian roared and Simon hurriedly left his office.

**********

"Hey man, why so serious ?"

Jack entered his office smiling.

"Did you informed her about everything ?"

Damian asked taking a sip of his whiskey...

"Yeah! I did and man she is really tough I am impressed, I mean she looks so innocent and harmless, I didn't expect her to fight like this, so cool..."

Jack replied pouring himself a glass of Scotch...

"Offcourse she did, she is class A fighter..."

Jack choked on his drink when he heard Damian...

"Fuck, what ?.... Class A?..."

He asked in shock...

"Dude these fighters are very dangerous, Ashton once told me about them, he himself tried many times but failed, it's very difficult to become class A, they are trained to be a Assassin's, goes through very tough and intense training, they don't show any kind of emotions just like robots... That's why she was like that when I was showing her around."

Jack told everything to Damian, who was staring blankly at his glass...

"Like what ?..."

"With no expressions, like robot... And I didn't even saw lust or any kind of fucking emotions in her eyes when she was looking at you, they were blank, I mean it was something new for me, I have always seen women drooling over you and throwing themselves at you, but she didn't even blink an eye and she was not even scared or nervous when you ordered her to fight...

She didn't even smiled at me when I told her a joke in the living room..."

Jack pouted like a kid making Damian roll his eyes at him..

"Ohh and fuck, she didn't even flinched when I threatened her, she responded very calmly saying that she will protect you with her life, well I am impressed boss..."

"She said what ?"

Damian averted his eyes from his empty glass to him...

"She said , she will protect you with her life..."

Jack replied gulping down his drink...

Damian released a sigh standing up, sliding his hands in his pockets he stood near the big window staring at the garden outside...

"What happened Damian?...."

Jack placed his hand on his broad shoulder...

"Her grey eyes reminds me of her..."

His voice was filled with sadness...

"Who?"

Jack asked confused...

"Isabella..."

Jack's eyes turned towards him with lightning speed when he heard that name from his mouth...
