Under His Protection

MISSING VINCENT

It was already days now since isabella left Vincent’s house and moved in with her best friend Audrey, at first she was so happy about her decision, her long desire of freedom and privacy were now being met.

She does whatever she wants without any prying eyes also she had a room all to herself and she no longer had to be always careful around the room.

She had just taken her bath that morning and was craving for some of vincent’s home made meal, she didn’t know how to make them and moreover she wasn’t great at kitchen duties.

She walked into the sitting room and started to press her phone when saw something that reminded her of Vincent, and was remembered of all the things he used to do for her.

Vincent would make sure Isabella’s breakfast was ready before leaving her for work and would always call to ask what she wanted for lunch or dinner if he was not going to make it.

But now she had to figure it out herself because Audrey was always busy with work and she didn’t like making food also.

As she sat there on the soft sofa zoned out, she thought about Vincent and what he would be doing at that moment if they were together, ahe thought the good times they had and just smiled at the thought while being totally oblivion of her environment.

And didn’t noticed Audrey had walked into the living room few minutes ago and had been watching her lost her thoughts of Vincent and smiling away.

“Missing him??” Audrey asked abruptly, jolting Isabella from her gleeful thoughts of Vincents back to reality, “Who??” isabella replied with brows raised in curiosity.

“You don’t have to lie to me Bella,” Audrey said she knew Isabella had no other person to think about and also there was no special thing that had happened lately to her without being involved.

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Isabella lied to Audrey, she didn’t want to have her hopes up about having anything romantic with Vincent.

“I saw you smiling in your thoughts bela, I know you are thinking about vincent and I know you miss him.” Audrey confirmed.

Isabella knew Audrey was a smart one and that’s why she had always made to surprise showing feelings whoever she was around, she looked at Audrey with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

“Yes I was thinking about Vincent but that doesn’t mean that i like and even if I did it would not matter because we are worlds apart,” Isabella asserted.

And just looked at her in surprised she knew they had different backgrounds and all that but saying worlds about was a bit too exaggerated and she raised her brows in conflict.

“Come on Audrey, you are my best friend and I can’t lie to you have you seen the way Vincents mom looks at me like as if I am some virus or plague that about to infect her son?” Isabella asked staring straight at her best friend.

“And moreover I am not Vincents type can’t you his way up and I here, I do not want have my life destroyed totally,” Isabella added.

“But it’s not that bad,” Audrey noted, she understood what Isabella was trying to to say but she also knew that Vincent was still a good guy towards her friend.

“Oh really you think so, how do you explain the media and me, i no longer have my freedom to go out comfortably without a disguise because of Vincent and to what end just have his child and then everything goes back to normal leaving me scarred and being a baby mama?” Isabella concluded.

She knew there was no way Vincent and her were going to end up together forever not with all the many obstacles around them.

“But he you guy are married and Vincent is planning to have a public wedding with you, I don not think all he wants is to make you his baby mama, you just have to believe in the possibility Bella,” Audrey advised, She knew vincent was serious about isabella at least from her own judgement.

“Oh Audrey, I can’t believe you are talking this way you know all this is for the baby and not me,” isabella confirmed.

“And even if we do have a wedding it doesn’t guarantee anything for us and moreover our marriage is contractual!” Isabella noted.

“Well I understand what you are saying,” Audrey acknowledged she didn’t know what else to say to her friend, she knew Isabella was hurting but could not help her.

But at that moment all she could think of was to give Isabella a hug and was exactly what she did and it made Isabella a bit calm, but their beautiful moment was cut short by Audrey’s phone.

That was ringing out loud, they quickly untangled themselves and Audrey pick up her phone to check who was calling and it was mr white.

She quickly motioned to Isabella not to make a sound them she took the call, “Hello mr white,” Audrey greeted with a cal voice as she waited for his reply.

“Audrey I want you to bring I’m Isabella for a meeting, we need to talk.” Mr white announced immediately but Audrey knew he wasn’t suppose to see Isabella now because of the pregnancy.

With that Audrey quickly replied, “I’m sorry Mr white but Isabella cannot be available for now.” she Mr white would not be happy with her reply but that was the best they could do for now.

“Audrey I think you are begining to get on my nerves concerning isabella and it mind not end well for you,” mr white confirmed.

“You are biting too hard!” He added trying to threaten Audrey but she wasn’t moved by it, “i am not biting to hard mr white,” Audrey acknowledged.

“Isabella is my clent and i was always do what’s in her best interest, i believe you would have seen the news about her wedding that is coming up and that means she is busy preparing for it,” Audrey explained.

“Oh now, she is too busy for me right, let’s not forget that she has a contract and it has rules guiding it,” Mr white stated.

“Isabella is getting married to someone notable!” Audrey asserted, she knew me white was trying to use the contract to scare them but she had a plan already.

“Someone notable Really! ” Mr white scoffed his word strangely audacious and firm. “Your notable man would not be able to withstand who he is up against!” Mr white noted.

Hearing that, Audrey and Isabella looked at each other in surprised, the phone had been on speaker and isabella had heard all their conversations from the begining.

“What are you talking about about Mr white?” Audrey asked trying to get more information on what he had just said, what could he have meant by that.

“Isabella would know about it at the meeting,” mr white replied and without waiting for Audrey’s reply he ended the call.

“What does he mean??” Isabella asked Audrey who was still as surprised as she was, they both knew that Mr white was not that notable especially not up to Vincent.

“I do not know, but I am sure Mr white was not talking about himself,” Audrey noted, she knew with the boldness and audacity in Mr white’s voice, this was definitely serious.

“Then who was he talking about?” Isabella questioned, she knew their contract was just between both Isabella’s family and the white’s but she could not recall having any third party.

“I do not know,” Audrey stated her tone evident of concern, they already had issues on their hand already and definitely didn’t need a new one.

“This is going to be bad, I can feel it already,” Isabella stated, she already worried about what was going to happen amd she still didn’t know what she was going to do about the meeting.

“Just calm down Bella, we are going to handle this together who knows Mr white may just be trying to scare us just so he can have a meeting with you or maybe he wants to use you to get Vincent to his side,” Audrey stated, but isabella protested.

“I don’t think so, I know Mr white and he sounded very serious.” Isabella noted

“Just what have I gotten myself into, there is Timothy and Vincents mother issue that i wasn’t still able to solve, I don’t even know what to do about mr white yet and now this, why is my life like this,” Isabella stated visible in disarray.

“I think I am cursed!” Isabella asserted as tears flowed down her cheeks, she knew this was going to be worse than every other one combine.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Especially because mr white had noted that he was someone even Vincent would not be able to withstand and was scaring isabella because if Vincent would not be able to help her she would be doomed.
