Under His Protection

Under His Protection:::

Laura walked briskly in the street as she clutched her coat tightly looking at her back per seconds thinking somebody was following her silently, the hair on her back stood up as she felt pairs of eyes were fixed on her watching her movement.

Taking a deep breath she hasten her step but consciously walked not to pull attention towards herself.

“No one is following me, iam just being paranoid!” She tried to calm herself with a silent groan.

“No one is looking at you for goodness sake Laura!”

She has these feelings after receiving creepy anonymous admiration letters and texts messages she had been receiving for the past three months, at first she had ignore them, but lately…….

Finally she arrived at her apartment, on getting inside she locked her door with the main lock and the extra lock added to the door.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She was not ready to take any chances atall, Laura gently pull off her coat as she saw the message machine bleeping.

She ignored the Machine as she dropped her coat on the sofa, her eyes landed on the mail box filled with numerous anonymous messages she has been getting from who she has no idea about, her gloomy mood brightened when she saw may coming out of the kitchen.

With a wide smile she knelt down to scoop the ball of fur in her hand, ‘miss me may?

Meow! With a yawn was the reply she got from her cat, smiling she picked up the mail box not bothering to read them and dumped it into the bin. She walked into her kitchen to prepare something for dinner when her cell rang.

“Laura! Where have you been?” His voice sounds irritated. She smiled sitting on the sofa ” Out, Dad” she rolled her eyes.

“We need to talk Laura, we need to talk about your safety” Her father’s concerned voice came out.

“I don’t need anyone dad, I’m a grown woman! I can take care of myself”

“We have the cops and local security men around, I’m fine dad…… please” she was getting pissed at her father’s overprotective concern towards her safety.

“You have a stalker, you confirmed it. You cannot keep sending away the bodyguards I have hired for you! They are the best in their filed, but if you feel they are not capable enough and you want a trustworthy and handsome bodyguard I will ask Jared to hire………”

Laura heart sank in her chest as she clutched the receiver tightly “you are going to ask Jared to hire him again, don’t you?” “He left dad! He left two years ago for reason best known to him, there is no point bringing him back Dad. It won’t change anything”

“You can’t call him back, No!”

“Goodness Laura! You need him, he is the best agent and the best choice” her mother chipped in.

“Sorry mother, I don’t need protection, and Don’t ask Michael to come back again” Laura silently cursed as she felt bitter.

“Who are you talking about?” Maggie asked at the background of the other call.

“Michael” her mum replied her little sister.

Laura narrowed her eyes as her heart beat increased .

“You will still hire him right”? Laura scowled when she heard Maggie laughed but quickly masked it with a cough.

“Mum, dad! He can’t be my bodyguard.” Laura firmly repeated ignoring the purring cat at her feet.

“But you guys know each other, and you are quite fond of him” Maggie added cheerfully.

“Give the phone back to dad! Iam not fond of him”

“Well dad and mum left, so it is only you and I on the phone”

Laura rolled her eyes as she could see Maggie smirking through her imagination.

“I hate him! I hate his face, his gut, everything about him!” Laura blurted with anger.

“Poor guy, what has he done to you to deserve this much hatered” Maggie lamented.

“Nothing!” Laura answered back fighting off the image of the man in question in her head.

“You are not going to think of him Laura! You can do this!” She instructed herself.

“I just hated him from the start”

” But he is charming, hot and sexy, I bet he has kissed a lot of women since the last time we have seen him” Maggie commented with deviltry in her voice.

“Ugh!” Laura groaned, her sister has started battling her with her not-so innocent jabs.

“Is he? She tried to sound not interested, but where she was she shifted her position because of the uncomfortable topic of Michael kissing another woman.

Her devilishly sister inserted smoothly “maybe the lady he wants is off limits to him, don’t you think so Laura?”

Laura ignored her head ignoring the wild beating of her heart, she swore Laura could hear it from the other end of the call. “I don’t care” she swallowed nervously.

She heard her sister sigh softly and muttered something she did not catch on time, “alright! Enough of discussing about that handsome young man, it seems you really hate him. Are you coming to Anthonia and Raphael wedding party?”

“Yes”

“Please expect your overprotective worried father not to let you off the hook easily, he will shove bodyguards as many as he can under your nose, if that makes you safe since you are far away from home” Maggie muttered briskly.

Laura sighed ” I know dad and Jared are over protective of me ever since Felix died, it is not a bad idea to hire a body guard I can be okay with, please tell Jared I will accept this protection thing as long as it is not him.” I….. I will advise you to tell Dad that when you see him at the wedding, he will be glad to hear this reply from you, bye dear sister” her sister cut her off exictedly.

Laura was left Starring at the phone in her hand, she has a feeling that she is in for a rollcoaster ride next week for Anthonia and Raphael’s wedding.

She dropped the phone beside her, with a deep sigh she picked her cat to her bossom caressing it softly as her mind wander to the man who disappeared two years ago and he is now her father’s choice.
