Hi, my name is Sasha,

and I'm a popular singer with the wealthiest parents in town.

Before I continue, please like and subscribe.

Selling out concerts weekly and dealing with fans around the world might sound fun,

but you know what's even cooler?

Partying.

All night long.

In the middle of my show,

I escaped with my boyfriend Theo to go to the biggest island party ever.

But when he pulled over to a helicopter pad,

my excitement turned to panic.

I thought we were gonna use a yacht.

You know I have a phobia of heights, right?

It's a five-minute ride.

You're just being melodramatic.

Get over it.

Get over it?

Enjoy the party without this drama queen, then.

Babe, come on.

I didn't mean it.

I'm sorry.

I just ignored him and stormed off.

As I walked back to the city,

I noticed a person in a hooded jacket following me.

I grabbed my stiletto and yelled at him.

Why are you hiding, dude?

Are you scared?

Don't worry.

I don't bite.

To my surprise, he just threw a magazine at me and ran away.

What the chocolate fudge?

I picked it up and realized that it was my magazine,

with a death threat drawn all over my face.

Unfortunately for him, I was fearless.

The threats kept coming over the weekend.

My parents had always wanted to hire a bodyguard for me,

but I didn't want some boring old guy to keep following me around.

But this time, they wouldn't take no for an answer.

When I finally saw my bodyguard, I almost passed out.

He was the most exquisite specimen of a man I had ever seen.

And he looked just a few years older than me.

Hey, handsome.

Are you sure you're a bodyguard and not my next boyfriend?

To my surprise, he didn't smile a bit.

Rude.

You look too young for this job.

How can I trust you?

Suddenly, a ball from our neighbor came hurling right at me.

And he instantly caught it with one hand.

Trust me, I'm really good at my job.

You can check my records.

Your father has everything you need.

Yeah, okay, whatever.

Let's go.

He opened the car door for me,

and as I slipped in,

I accidentally brushed my shoulder on his chest,

and oh my, it felt harder than a rock.

When we arrived at school,

Theo didn't look so happy to see me with my young bodyguard.

He pulled me aside and said,

Look, babe, I know I insulted you the other night,

but getting back at me by flirting with another guy?

How could you?

He's my freaking bodyguard.

I'm still mad at you for what you did,

and now you're accusing me of cheating?

Suddenly, Damon stepped in.

Is there a problem here?

Stay out of this, man.

Theo tried to push him aside,

but Damon pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.

What the heck are you doing?

Let go of me, idiot.

Hey, stop it.

Damon finally released my boyfriend after a minute.

As expected, Theo went psycho.

I immediately blocked him before he got his butt kicked by Damon.

That's enough, Theo.

He's just doing his job.

Why do you need a bodyguard when you have me?

I'm your boyfriend.

I'll protect you.

A small spider suddenly landed on his shoulder,

and he ran screaming, Protect my butt.

As I walked down the hall with Damon,

girls were literally drooling all over him.

He looks more like a model than a bodyguard.

He can be the father of my children.

He's way more attractive than Theo.

I really want to feel his biceps.

These girls sounded so desperate, but they were right.

When I reached our classroom,

my best friend Tessa came up to me with my favorite coffee.

Hey girl, so I brought you your...

Damon suddenly snatched it and started sniffing it.

He then took a sip and waited for a few seconds before saying, Clear.

As he gave it back to me,

Tessa was glaring at him.

100

Excuse me, did you really think that I'll poison my best friend?

101

Just doing my job.

102

Tessa then dragged me to a corner.

103

So you're giving up your privacy just like that?

104

I can see that he's very attractive,

105

but something about him screams bad news.

106

He even sounds like a demon.

107

You have to get rid of him ASAP.

108

Oh, come on, girl.

109

It's just his first day.

110

Let's see.

111

But Tessa was right.

112

I didn't have a second of privacy.

113

Damon followed me around every freaking second.

114

He stood behind me in all of my classes and even in restrooms.

115

It was so awkward.

116

At home, he'd just stand outside my door,

117

and I never saw him sleep.

118

And worse, he had this permanent ice-cold expression on his face that gave me chills.

119

I had a recording event one night,

120

and when I reached the studio,

121

a guy came rushing toward me.

122

He was about to draw out something from his back pocket,

123

when suddenly, Damon grabbed his arm and twisted it.

124

Drop your weapon.

125

What?

126

I just wanted an autograph from her, man.

127

Damon let go of the poor guy,

128

and it was so embarrassing.

129

What's the matter with you?

130

I'm a popular singer, so you have to get used to my fans.

131

Just doing my job.

132

Calm down, Sasha.

133

Calm down.

134

The next day at school,

135

Theo kept following me around to apologize,

136

but I still ignored him until he said,

137

My producer cousin is throwing an exclusive yacht party with some A-listers this weekend.

138

She's a fan of yours,

139

and she'd be ecstatic if you came.

140

He had my attention now.

141

Parties were my weakness.

142

Not so fast, sweetheart.

143

Hang out with me tomorrow?

144

Okay, fine.

145

Theo requested not to bring Damon to our date tomorrow,

146

so I talked to him in private it.

147

My job is not to leave your side for a minute.

148

So sorry, can't do.

149

He was so firm about this,

150

so I finally gave up and let him come with us.

151

We went to a private movie theater and watched a super sad movie together.

152

Minutes into the movie, Theo and I were already crying our hearts out,

153

while Damon had no reaction.

154

At all.

155

What was he, a robot?

156

After the movie, we went to a fancy restaurant and I was having a good time with the lobster.

157

Until Theo started forcing himself on me.

158

Just one kiss, babe.

159

Come on.

160

Not now, Theo.

161

We're in a public place and people are staring.

162

But he was persistent.

163

Just then, Damon grabbed him and threw him away like a piece of paper.

164

Theo was furious.

165

He grabbed a chair, but before he could hit Damon with it,

166

I pushed him away.

167

Stop it!

168

Right now!

169

Your stupid bodyguard started it.

170

Why don't you tell him to get a life and go home to his mommy?

171

No, Theo.

172

You go home.

173

I immediately called him a cab,

174

and when he was finally gone,

175

I turned to Damon angrily.

176

I know he was being a jerk,

177

but I can handle my personal life.

178

You don't have to interfere every freaking second.

179

He was disrespecting your personal space.

180

Your job is to keep me safe,

181

not to meddle in my personal matters.

182

Know your boundaries.

183

Apologies.

184

It will never happen again.

185

I actually didn't mind that Theo got the thrashing he deserved,

186

but Damon always being around was just getting on my nerves.

187

A few days later at a concert,

188

I was performing my newest single and everyone was singing along with me.

189

It felt amazing.

190

Some of them even started climbing up on the stage to join me.

191

Suddenly, Damon jumped in and pushed them off stage.

192

What in the world?

193

He then lifted me and carried me to the backstage,

194

in the middle of my freaking performance.

195

I finally had enough.

196

My parents are paying you to protect me,

197

not to annoy me and screw up my concerts.

198

Your life is in danger, ma'am.

199

You have to treat everyone as an enemy.

200

That is ridiculous.

201

Whoever sends those stupid threats is probably just some harmless loser.

202

Better to be safe than sorry.

203

I complained to my parents about his behavior,

204

but they praised him for it.

205

But he's ruining my career and even my personal life.

206

He's just doing his job,

207

honey, and that's to make sure you're safe all the time.

208

They were hopeless cases, so I resorted to Tessa instead,

209

and she came up with a plan.

210

Test his patience.

211

Annoy him.

212

Do everything you can to make him quit.

213

You're good at that, you gorgeous brat.

214

I love the sound of it, girl.

215

You're the best.

216

Of course I am.

217

I stayed up at 4 a.m that night to disturb Damon in the sleep,

218

but to my surprise, He was already up.

219

I need you to get my favorite Starbucks coffee.

220

That's not part of my job description.

221

Do it, or I'll make your job harder.

222

Fine.

223

What's your order?

224

One iced venti caramel macchiato with six shots of mocha,

225

one quarter not fat milk,

226

one eighth almond milk with medium whipped cream,

227

and a caramel drizzle with a rose design on top,

228

and a biodegradable takeaway cup with a pink straw.

229

Got it.

230

What?

231

I was just messing with him,

232

but to my surprise, he immediately left,

233

and holy mother of toads,

234

He came back with my exact order.

235

How?

236

Anything else?

237

That's all for now.

238

Later that day, I went to the mall and went on a crazy shopping spree,

239

making him carry all my bags to tire him out.

240

But he was like a machine.

241

I entered a clothing store,

242

and as I tried on all the prettiest clothes,

243

I kept asking for his opinion,

244

but he wasn't paying attention.

245

Hello?

246

Aren't you gonna give me a compliment or something?

247

Giving an opinion about your outfits is not part of my job, ma'am.

248

Any normal guy would have been drooling at me by now.

249

He must be a cyborg.

250

To get back at him,

251

I faked a sprain and forced him to carry me on his back,

252

but he was still as strong as a freaking tank.

253

Finally giving up, I went to the bathroom with everything I'd bought and escaped through the window.

254

After making sure that I'd lost him,

255

I went to an orphanage and gave out all the clothes to the kids.

256

While I was having fun with them,

257

Tessa sent me some pictures of Theo kissing a blonde girl in a restaurant.

258

At this point, I didn't even care.

259

Theo was trash.

260

I immediately sent him a message and told him that we were done.

261

He was the worst boyfriend anyway.

262

He started calling me immediately,

263

so I just blocked him.

264

Problem solved.

265

Later, I went to a local club to celebrate my breakup.

266

And while I was dancing my heart out,

267

I was shocked to see someone watching me from the bar.

268

Damon!

269

Of course he tracked me down.

270

A cute guy tried to dance with me,

271

and suddenly, Damon came and pushed him away.

272

Hey, listen, buddy.

273

I'm sick of this.

274

If you're gonna keep scaring all the other guys away,

275

you dance with me.

276

I don't mix business with pleasure.

277

Dance with me, or go sit quietly in a corner while I find someone.

278

Before I could poke the guy next to me,

279

Damon suddenly grabbed my hand to dance.

280

Just then, the song shifted to a slow,

281

romantic one, and he pulled me in closer by the waist.

282

It's not so bad, is it?

283

If you say so, ma'am.

284

You can say my name, you know.

285

If you say so, Sasha.

286

He had the faintest smile on his face,

287

and my heart skipped a beat.

288

We slow danced as he looked deep into my eyes,

289

and suddenly, his face was so close to mine.

290

Just then, he pulled away from me,

291

like he'd had an electric shock.

292

We need to go home.

293

But it's still early.

294

Safety reasons.

295

Ugh, he was so annoying.

296

When we got home, I saw a box sitting on my bed.

297

And when I opened it,

298

lots of rats jumped out and started running all over the room.

299

Damon saw a little note inside.

300

And for the first time ever, it scared me.

301

For real.

302

Someone broke into your room.

303

This person means business.

304

We have to be more careful, ma'am.

305

He suggested that I shouldn't go to school for the next few days for safety.

306

And I agreed.

307

One night, my manager called and reminded me of my concert in Paris the next day.

308

It was my biggest one yet,

309

and I had to go.

310

I don't think you should be making public appearances till we find out who's trying to hurt you.

311

No, I'm not gonna let some creep scare me and make me decide what I should do.

312

This was planned in advance,

313

and all the tickets are sold, and I'm not cancelling.

314

Damon was forced to allow me, but on one condition.

315

We had to share a hotel room so he could keep a constant eye on me.

316

When we were finally in Paris,

317

I rehearsed my songs all night while he was constantly looking out the window.

318

The next morning, I found him still asleep on the couch when something on the floor caught my attention.

319

A picture of a beautiful girl in his wallet.

320

She looked around my age.

321

I quickly put the wallet away, feeling something weird.

322

Was I jealous?

323

No, of course not.

324

Why would I care if he had a girlfriend?

325

Hours before the concert, while my makeup team was working on me,

326

Damon suddenly snatched me away.

327

Can't you just postpone this?

328

It's too dangerous.

329

I told you, I can't.

330

Please, Sasha, just listen to me.

331

I care about you, you know?

332

Oh, do you?

333

I thought I was your only client.

334

Just do your job, which is to keep me alive,

335

and let me do my job,

336

which is to entertain people.

337

And actually, I prefer it when you call me ma'am.

338

You got me?

339

Loud and clear, ma'am.

340

During my concert, I tried not to think of Damon and the death threats,

341

and it was going so well.

342

In the middle of my performance,

343

I saw Damon in the crowd,

344

and he was smiling at me.

345

He looked so lovely.

346

No, snap out of it, Sasha.

347

He has a girlfriend.

348

While I was singing my fourth song,

349

I suddenly spotted a hooded figure in the crowd,

350

and he was aiming something at me.

351

No, no, no. I froze in panic,

352

but just then a strong pair of arms grabbed me and carried me off the stage,

353

and I looked up to see Damon's tense face.

354

Stay here.

355

Don't move.

356

He returned a few minutes later,

357

saying he'd lost the hooded figure.

358

I was still shaking in fear,

359

and he gently picked me up and we returned to the hotel.

360

He tucked me into bed and sat on a chair close by.

361

I closed my eyes and tried to sleep,

362

feeling safe as he watched over me.

363

Sometime later, I felt him fixing my blanket and gently caressing my cheek as he left.

364

Why did he do that?

365

And why was it giving me a heart attack?

366

When I woke up the next morning,

367

I peeked into the kitchen and smiled when I saw him dancing while cooking our breakfast.

368

It was the first time I saw him looking so...human.

369

I felt shy when he turned to me.

370

I didn't have any makeup on.

371

That's the first time I've seen you without makeup.

372

And you look even more beautiful than usual.

373

Is complimenting me part of your job now?

374

Maybe.

375

I knew it.

376

No one can ever resist my charms.

377

Not even my emotionless bodyguard.

378

I wonder what your girlfriend would say about this.

379

I assume you're talking about the picture of the girl in my wallet.

380

Gosh, was he actually awake that time?

381

He revealed that it was his sister,

382

and they grew up in the orphanage together.

383

He lost her because he'd failed to protect her,

384

and that's why he became a bodyguard.

385

She'd always wanted to go to Paris and go up the Eiffel Tower.

386

I suddenly felt brave.

387

Let's go there then, for her.

388

After what happened yesterday, there's no way I'm allowing you to go anywhere.

389

Also, I know from your file that you're afraid of heights.

390

I'm not scared when I have you around.

391

I'll be fine, I promise.

392

He finally agreed.

393

But later as we were climbing onto the escalator at the Eiffel Tower,

394

he must have noticed I was nervous.

395

Are you sure about this?

396

We can just go back, you know.

397

No, I can do this.

398

When we reached the top,

399

I squealed and covered my eyes.

400

You made it to the top.

401

You have to see this view now.

402

I...

403

I don't know if I can.

404

How about you take a look and we'll go down?

405

But I don't want you to miss this, Sasha.

406

I've got you.

407

Do you trust me?

408

Yes.

409

Yes, I do.

410

Okay then, open your eyes when I say so.

411

I kept my eyes shut as he led me forward,

412

and then suddenly, I felt his arms wrap around my waist.

413

Now.

414

I opened my eyes, and I gasped.

415

I was so close to the edge,

416

and the whole glittering city was in front of me,

417

and I'd never felt safer in my life.

418

Damon?

419

Yes?

420

Have you ever fallen for a client?

421

My smile instantly faded at his answer.

422

No, it would never happen.

423

I can't do my job well if I'm emotionally involved.

424

So it was just me he was feeling this.

425

He was just being nice to his client.

426

After a week, I had to go back to school for the final exams.

427

I looked for Tessa so we could study together in the library,

428

but I couldn't find her.

429

I sat down to study alone and let Damon stand by the door so I could focus.

430

Minutes later, he barged in and yelled, Sasha, look out.

431

To my horror, the huge bookshelf behind me began to fall on me.

432

But Damon leapt forward and pushed me out of harm's way,

433

and it fell on him.

434

He was in the hospital for a week,

435

and despite my parents' protests that I needed to stay safe at home,

436

I insisted on visiting him every day.

437

One day, while I was in the waiting area,

438

Tessa came to see me with my favorite coffee.

439

But before I could take a sip,

440

a hand suddenly slapped the cup away.

441

We turned to see Damon and a cop beside him,

442

who suddenly put handcuffs on Tessa.

443

What are you doing, you moron?

444

Damon, what's happening?

445

Suddenly, he revealed something that blew my mind.

446

Tessa was the one who'd pushed the bookshelf on me.

447

I'd been keeping an eye on her and studying her.

448

That day, I saw her enter the library from the back door,

449

and I knew she was up to no good.

450

I'm sure your coffee is poisoned, too.

451

My best friend was trying to hurt me?

452

Tessa, why?

453

And suddenly, Tessa turned into a monster because I hate you.

454

You have everything I've ever wanted.

455

Beauty, talent, fame, wealth, Theo.

456

Life is so unfair.

457

I would have gotten rid of you already if your stupid bodyguard wasn't such a pain.

458

She screamed as the cop dragged her away,

459

and I was left speechless.

460

Damon then pulled me into a hug.

461

Are you okay?

462

I'll be fine.

463

How are you?

464

I'm okay, but I can't be your bodyguard anymore, Sasha.

465

I just can't fight my feelings for you anymore, and it's wrong.

466

If I fire you right now,

467

will you be my boyfriend instead?

468

Without a word, he grabbed my face and finally kissed me on the lips.

469

I took that as a yes.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
