Something’s dimmed Nira’s smile. When I press her, she says some guy doesn’t love her back, and she needs a fresh start. What idiot could refuse Nira’s heart? As head of security for her dad’s company and Nira’s former bodyguard, I’m pissed that this happened under my nose without me knowing about it.
