Chapter 158: Second Chapter of Her Life

The days were passing peacefully for Laila Hasanović, former Captain of the Jaeger Corps, Denmark’s elite Special Operations Division. Her life in the Kingdom was so tranquil that she sometimes wondered if it was all just a dream.

After being dishonourably discharged from the Danish Army, she had fled to Russia and worked under Imperial Heaven, evading an Interpol arrest warrant for five long years. During that time, she never imagined she’d one day enjoy a peaceful life again.

Everything had changed the day she fought Raphael Blanc, and that idiotic man had the nerve to ask his boss to bring her to the Kingdom. Despite the thousands of questions swirling in her mind, she decided to take a leap of faith. Her job under Imperial Heaven had been slowly destroying her from within.

Now, that leap had proven to be the right one.

She lived a peaceful, disciplined life here. No one asked her to do anything shady or bothered her outside her working hours. She had a real identity now... Laila Monroe, a proud citizen of the Kingdom with a valid passport and a respected job.

Laila now served as the Protocol Officer to the Chairman of Heimdall Technologies Limited. She also oversaw security operations at Nexabyte Technology’s Trafford Command Center. Though she juggled two jobs, technology made her work efficient... and truthfully, it didn’t take much of her time.

But she couldn’t relax.

Her biggest concern wasn’t the workload... it was the safety of her Chairman, Eleanor Elizabeth Raynor.

That concern wasn’t even part of her job description. As protocol officer, her responsibilities were clearly defined: schedule management, security coordination, travel logistics, and discretion. It was all there in the contract.

Yet reality told a different story.
