Chapter 7 - The Guard's Secret
What Julian didn't realize was that Elena was far more than an ordinary domestic servant.
Before taking the job as Noah's personal nanny two years ago following the tragic passing of Noah's mother, Elena had served four years as an elite tactical medic in a military special operations unit. She had left the service to care for her younger sister, bringing her sharp instincts, tactical awareness, and protective skills into the Vance household.
Two hours before the grand party began, while the catering crew was setting up the decorations, Elena had noticed the new security guard in the grey suit hanging around the cake display.
She had watched him quietly manipulate the hidden safety lock beneath the gold marble base—a heavy steel bolt designed specifically to keep the pedestal anchored firmly to the marble floor.
When Elena had questioned the chief of house security about the unfamiliar guard, he had casually dismissed her concerns, explaining that Mr. Julian Vance had personally hired extra private security for the evening.
Her military training had immediately put her on high alert. She kept her eyes glued to Noah every single second of the event, ready to move at the first sign of danger.
