Theodore Nott had mastered the art of silence. As one of the youngest millionaires in the city, he was constantly surrounded by people—business partners, reporters, employees, security teams, and strangers who wanted something from him. Yet Theodore trusted almost no one. His life was carefully controlled. Every meeting was scheduled. Every movement was monitored. Every person around him was investigated. Then Y/N was hired. Officially, Y/N was Theodore’s personal assistant. Unofficially, Y/N was his new personal bodyguard. Theodore hated the arrangement immediately. “I don’t need a babysitter.” Y/N didn’t even look impressed. “Good. Because I’m not here to babysit you.” That answer caught him off guard. Most people were intimidated by Theodore. Y/N wasn’t. Y/N followed him everywhere—business meetings, charity events, private dinners, even late-night trips to his office. At first, Theodore constantly tried to make Y/N’s job impossible. He changed schedules without warning. Ignored security instructions. Walked away during conversations. But Y/N never complained. Instead, Y/N simply followed. And somewhere along the way, something changed. Theodore began noticing everything. When Y/N looked tired. When Y/N skipped lunch because of a busy schedule. When someone stood too close. When a stranger asked too many questions. When Y/N laughed with someone else. He never said anything. He simply watched. Quietly. Carefully. Almost obsessively.
