All Chapters of under his protection : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Now that Timothy isn't engaged to your sister anymore, you should go for him before someone else does," Angel mused, remembering her mother's words from the night before. She couldn't help but smile at the thought.Timothy was a catch, there was no doubt about that. He was handsome, successful, and had always be kind to her. And now he was single, which only made him more desirable in Angel's eyes.She couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her stomach at the thought of being with him. Angel studied herself in the mirror, applying the final touches to her makeup. She wanted to look her best, not for herself, but for Timothy. She wanted to sweep him off his feet, and she knew she had to look her best to do it.She carefully applied a shade of red lipstick, making sure it was just the right shade to bring out the natural beauty of her lips. Then she adjusted her red dress, making sure it showed off her figure to its best advantage.She wanted to make a good impression, and

Vincent, trying to avoid her gaze, blurted out, “How was your outing?”, hoping to steer the conversation in a safe direction. He was lost for words, feeling caught off guard by Isabella’s sudden awakening. Her penetrating stare made him feel even more uneasy, unable to think straight.Her conversation with Audrey had been both enjoyable and stimulating, but after a while, fatigue began to set in and she decided to retire to her room for a bit of rest. To her surprise, she found Vincent sitting by her side, his gaze fixed on her with passionate intensity. This unexpected presence startled her, and she struggled to comprehend the reason for it. As Vincent entered the room, his gaze immediately fell upon Isabella's alluring form. For a moment, he stood there, completely transfixed, as if he had just beheld a goddess. His eyes lingered over her body, taking in every detail with a scrutiny reminiscent of an X-ray machine, even the covered contours of her legs were not spared from his u

The taxi rolled through the streets, each turn bringing Isabella closer to her destination, and closer still to the source of her unease. The twisting of her stomach intensified as the cab drew near, her nausea rising to a crescendo as the driver announced their arrival.Going back was the last thing she had wanted but she had become short on supply of clothes and as most of the clothes at her apartment were for working, she had no choice but to go back to her mother's house to pick up her remaining belongings.Isabella had left Vincent's house in a cab even after he had insisted on his driver taking her "Thanks but I will be fine," she said as she walked out of the apartment. She appreciated his kind gesture and concern towards her but she knew showing up at her mother's place in a fancy car would cause attention and after all that had happened lately, another argument was the last thing she wanted that morning."Thanks for the ride," she said as she alighted from the cab, looking a

Immediately the cab came to a halt, Isabella came down and started walking straight towards the door, all she wanted at that moment was to have some rest to help her forget about all that had happened earlier."Excuse me!" the cab man shouted trying to get Isabella's attention but she wasn't responding, he had to use his car horn.Hearing the sound, Isabella became confused as to why he was horning, but she had forgotten to pay the man because she had hurriedly run out of her mother's house."I truly apologize," Isabella said in her calm voice, as the cab man drove away she turned and continued as she walked towards the door but suddenly stopped.She had seen another car parked aside from Vincent's, she wondered if it was his mom's, meeting with Vincent's mother was something Isabella wouldn't want at that moment, especially after the stressful encounter she had with her family.But that wasn't the car his mother had come in with the other day, she imputed the passcode and walked int

A DRINKVincent came to a halt as he stopped at a restaurant to grab a quick bite, he ran into the toilet and spat out the remaining food in his mouth immediately after he got to his room. He had to wash his mouth thoroughly as the food was very spicy."I will have a burger and a cup of cappuccino," he said as he gave his order to the waiter. He just had to eat something as his hunger pangs had intensified, as he devoured the burger, thoughts of Jessica crippled through his mind.Vincent quickly finished his meal as he did not want to spend too much time because he knew how impatient Jessica Could be sometimes. He entered his car and hurried over to Jessica's, getting close to the inn, he parked his car properly and dialed Jessica's number. "Room number!" VinVincentquired, and immediately she picked up, after some minutes he was already at Jessica's room door."Vincent," Jessica called in a honeyed voice as she led him into the room and turned on the lights.Vincent walked into the
