Under His Protection

Under His Protection:::

She look damn stunning, he could not blame her stalker.

“If I caugh that bastard!” He scowled.

” Iam here to meet your dad, because a certain lady is refusing every bodyguard my agency provides for her”

“I don’t need a bodyguard! I can take good care of my self” Laura blurted angrily.

“Haven’t I told you before?” Michael advance further into the room, instantly Laura took steps backwards until she hit the reading table.

“Be careful’

“W what are you going to do” she asked nervously.

Michael walked closer as he closed the gap between them.

“Iam not scared of you Michael,  and stay back my dad will be here any moment from now” she turned away.

“You look scared, and it is not like I want to kiss you Laura” “I keep my distance to my client”

Even when he assured her, Michael knew he could not trust himself around her not to do anything stupid.

“Good” she replied codly.

“I need to go, since you are here to talk to my father. Stay here he will come in soon”

She was about to walk away when Michael block her way.

“Excuse me”

Michael smiled devilishly at her “no you are not excused”

Laura stared in disbelief, “look whatever you have with my dad is none of my concern, I don’t care what you guys discuss. Iam fine and I don’t need anyone to protect me”

“I beg to differ miss” he decided to gloat over her as he bent his head to the other side, he never thought seeing her again would bring such elation.

“What we are yet to discuss has everything to do with you, infact you are the reason why I came here”

Laura scoffed and wanted to retort when her dad His Excellency Jadua walked in and joined the conversation.

“Sorry iam late, thank God you both are there” he turned to his daughter “Laura I want to inform you that Michael will be your new bodyguard”

“Dad!!”

Jadua halted her with one finger raised up, “wether you like it or not Laura”

“You got to be kidding me dad! I thought we discussed this on phone” Laura stared at her father in disbelief.

“I won’t take any more chances Laura, I have lost Jasper I won’t loose you too. Michael will be with you till this issue is solved” Jadua said with finality in his voice.

Since her dad could not see his face, Michael threw Laura a gloomy smile, he wanted to provoke her to disapprove him as her father choice for her protection, he was also ready to prove to her that she can never do anything about that.

“Iam back Laura, and this time I intend to stay”.

Laura could not believe what her dad just said, “this can’t be happening” she muttered softly while shaking her Head pacing the room.

“Dad I thought I told you earlier that I will accept this bodyguard thing as long as it is not him” she gesture her hands towards Michael.

“Laura, I’m after your safety as a father, I cannot loose two children within two years, you have to obey me” Jadua  walked further into the room.

“You can’t be serious dad” she immediately replied her father in disbelief, “why him? She scoffed.

“Why are you hiring this man for the job? “Didn’t he leave that post before?

“Dad he doesn’t want to work as a bodyguard, I’m very sure of that” Laura tried to convince her father to change his choice.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

How will she be able to cope with Michael, just the mere sight of him looking at her alone made her knees weak, she knew her father very well the great Jadua Van-Lerie never change his mind when he has spoken, Laura vouched to use how dear she is to him so her father can see from her perspective too.

“Daddy, you can bring in any bodyguard I will wholeheartedly accept but not him!  Not that he is of any good” she blurted softly with pleading eyes looking at her father.

Michael narrowed his eyes as she blurted out that last statement.

“You are correct dear….” Jadua agreed with his daughter with a Sigh as he sat gently on his expensive leather chair.

“…. But he is kind enough to consider my personal request, not after you insulted all the guards I sent to you” “Laura this is the only man I trust with my life that would look over your attitude to protect you until the culprit is caught” Jadua starred at his adamant daughter trying to convince her too.

“There is no need for a caught father, there is no need to take this too seriously” Laura walked towards her dad as she massage his shoulder softly while avoiding Michael amused gaze fixed on her.

“They are just bunch of anonymous messages and unemployed people stalking me” “I don’t think there’s any cause for alarm” she defended.

Jadua stood up, ” keep quiet Laura, this is a serious issues that calls for alarm. There is a psycho bastard who has been spamming your cell with messages and calls, you have a stalker who is obsessed with you”

“It is my responsibility to take care of you, this same attitude of your was what your brother displayed nonchalantly and now he is six feet below” Jadua pointed at his daughter with anger clouding his features.

Nobody makes His Excellency Jadua angry and stay alive to see the next day, Laura knew her dad was a No-Nonsense man and he would not take a No for an answer.

Her shoulder slump in defeat after seeing her father’s anger rising slowly

Jadua exhaled heavily, his only daughter who he so much love and adore is a pain in his ass.

But he wants her to be safe, he could not bear to see Trisha sick and worried about Laura.

Whenever his thoughts wander to what he should have done to save and protect his late son regrets filled his heart, Now Laura is facing the same situation he won’t take any chances and Michael is the only one who can protect his daughter with his life.

“What if he make advances towards me” she inserted smoothly, but as soon as she blurted out that statement she regretted it, Laura turned away as she tried to stop the heat spreading on her cheek.

Jadua Van-Lerie took a deep breath, “Laura……..”

“Your Excellency”… Michael joined the conversation for the first time after keeping mute while watching father and daughter argue. “Can I talk to Laura for a moment?” He looked at her amusedly.
