Second Marriage: My Strongest Bodyguard

Bryana drove her red sports car at an average speed. She was on the way to Calvin's school. The woman of Indo-European descent was going to pick up her son, who was currently studying at the Paud level.

After driving for nearly 15 minutes, Bryana arrived at the most prestigious school building in Jakarta. There were several special classrooms for students—both small and large—along with playgrounds, libraries, sports areas, and spaces for extracurricular activities to develop children’s talents from an early age.

She immediately got out of the car carrying a maroon branded bag. It matched the black mini dress and white blouse she was wearing. Bryana, with her long flowing blonde hair, walked casually toward her son, who was waiting in front of the classroom with his babysitter.

"Hey, honey. Have you been waiting long?"

Bryana crouched down to Calvin, who looked sternly at her. The four-year-old boy didn’t seem in the mood because she was late to pick him up.

"Don’t be angry. Mommy was very busy, so I’m a little late," Bryana said as she picked up Calvin and carried him to the car.

Calvin’s babysitter, Lauren, followed behind Bryana, carrying his school bag.

On the way back home, a group of people dressed in black formal clothes suddenly blocked the road. The area was quiet and far from the crowd.

Bryana immediately stopped the car and approached the group. She seemed fearless.

"Surely you decided on Alex, right? How much did he pay you to bother me? I’ll pay more if you stop and turn against him!"

Bryana spoke with confidence and courage. To her, no amount of money was too much to protect her son because she had more wealth than her ex-husband.

"Don’t try to bribe us, ma’am. Better let Calvin come with Mr. Alex," said one of the burly men wearing sunglasses.

"Never! You go back to your boss. I won’t let Calvin be taken from me!" Bryana yelled firmly, then turned back to her car.

The men ignored her warnings and grabbed her hands, while others moved toward the car to take Calvin.

"LET ME GO! Don’t touch my son, or you’ll regret it!" Bryana struggled threateningly.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Calvin screamed and cried, frightened by his father’s men. Meanwhile, Lauren could only stay in the car, restrained.

"Hey! Don’t take my son!" Bryana shouted as she glared at the man carrying Calvin. She feared he would be taken to her ex-husband and possibly moved abroad.

A car suddenly stopped near Bryana’s vehicle. A man with a thin beard and a firm jaw got out, followed by several bodyguards.

"Let them go!" Raymond, Bryana’s brother, exclaimed. Lauren had secretly messaged him while Bryana confronted Alex’s men.

"It won’t happen because Calvin has to go with Mr. Alex to London!" replied one of the men.

Raymond nodded and signaled his bodyguards to attack the men Alex had sent.

Bryana was released as the men holding her were distracted. She ran to Calvin, already in the car and driving. Panic gripped her—her child could have been taken.

"Jill, hurry!" Raymond shouted from his car, intentionally distracting the men while preparing to pursue the vehicle carrying Calvin.

Bryana jumped into Raymond’s car, and they sped off to catch the car with her son.

"Be careful! Calvin could get hurt!" Bryana said, terrified as Raymond drove at high speed.

Using his driving skills, Raymond overtook the car and blocked it. The vehicle stopped, almost colliding with Raymond’s. Calvin, not wearing a seatbelt, hit the steering wheel and bled from his head. The unharmed driver got out, facing Raymond.

"Give my nephew back, or you’ll die here!" Raymond yelled.

"Step over my corpse first!" the driver replied defiantly.

Raymond and the driver engaged in a fierce fight. Bryana immediately ran to Calvin, who was still in the car. She panicked when she saw his injury and fainted. She quickly picked him up and moved to Raymond’s car.

In just five minutes, Raymond defeated the driver. He returned to the car, driving straight to the hospital.

"Oh my God, my son is hurt again!" Bryana cried, hugging Calvin, still unconscious and bleeding.

"Just be patient, Jill. Calvin will be fine," Raymond said. He used the affectionate nickname he had for Bryana.

"Alex is terrible! I won’t let him take Calvin from me!"

"Doesn’t custody fall on you? He shouldn’t have done this."

"I don’t know. He doesn’t fear breaking the law," Bryana said sadly, looking at Calvin. "Hurry! He’s turning pale!" she exclaimed frantically.

Raymond accelerated, reaching the hospital in ten minutes. He parked and carried Calvin inside. Nurses immediately attended to him in the emergency room.

Bryana waited anxiously for nearly 30 minutes, pacing frantically.

"Sit down… I want to figure out a plan for you," Raymond said.

"What do you suggest?" Bryana asked, sitting beside him.

"For your safety and Calvin’s, I’ll hire a bodyguard. I must return to London soon," Raymond said.

"Isn’t that too much?" Bryana asked.

"No," Raymond replied sadly. "He will take care of everything, and I’ll make sure that bastard can’t bother you anymore."

"If that’s best for me and Calvin, I’ll accept," Bryana said, relieved that her son would be safe. She felt guilty for her divorce but was determined to protect Calvin no matter what.
