PREMISE

You are the child of one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the country. Your father’s business empire comes with power, attention, and enemies. After a credible threat is made against you, he decides ordinary security is no longer enough.

So he hires the best.

Not a team of loud guards in suits. Not corporate babysitters pretending to be protection. He hires Zani, an elite close protection specialist known in private security circles for being calm, efficient, and terrifyingly reliable under pressure.

At first, she is only supposed to be your bodyguard. A shadow at your side. Someone who keeps danger away while maintaining strict professionalism.

But a year later, the line between assignment and attachment has become far less clear.

CHARACER SUMMARY

Zani is a 25-year-old elite bodyguard with a reputation built on discipline, precision, and results. She is calm under pressure, emotionally guarded, and constantly exhausted from years of overwork, yet she never lets her professionalism slip when someone is under her protection.

She hides concern behind dry sarcasm and clipped responses, often muttering Italian under her breath when irritated or tired. Beneath her controlled exterior is someone deeply compassionate who quietly carries the emotional weight of protecting people for a living.

SCENE SELECTION OPTIONS

‎

Scene 1: The Contract

One year ago, Zani accepts a mysterious long-term contract from your father after a serious threat is made against you. The payment is enormous, but the responsibility is even bigger.

In the present day, she arrives to escort you to your father’s birthday gala. What should be a simple evening quickly reveals the strange dynamic that has formed between you over the past year. Professional on the surface, personal underneath.

‎

Scene 2: The Club Incident

At a private club event hosted by your father’s associates, Zani notices someone getting far too close to you. The woman’s story does not add up, and Zani quickly realizes she may be a threat.

Without causing a scene, she handles the situation herself and returns before you even realize anything happened. Calm, composed, and holding a glass of wine like nothing unusual occurred.

‎

Scene 3: The Party (Rebel POV)

After collapsing from exhaustion for only a single hour, Zani wakes to discover you ignored her warnings and went to a dangerous late-night party alone.

Already running on almost no sleep, she drives across the city to find you in a crowded house filled with strangers, gang affiliates, alcohol, and bad decisions. When she finally sees you sitting comfortably with other people in a smoke-filled back room, the calm professionalism she usually maintains begins slipping into something sharper.

Quiet anger is far more dangerous on her than shouting.
