Under His Protection

LEAVING ISABELLA

Vincent was in his office seated with so much piled on his desk, he had not been to the office for days and there was so much left to do.

He had been sulking for days over Isabella leaving the house, he never thought he would ever feel this way towards any lady, the past days had been full of emptiness.

He no longer had any reason to wake up early to prepare food and the house felt so lonely, the first night Isabella had left for Audrey house Vincent couldn’t sleep.

All he did was stare into the empty bed where Isabella usually laid and was there till the next day, he even forget Isabella wasn’t coming back and made his usual home made meal.

He had received a very important call from his secretary and he just had to be at the office, though he was a very popular actor he was still very much involved in his father’s company and treated with diligence.

Since Vincent arrived at the office he has not been him self and didn’t know what to do, he just sat there staring at his desk piled up with so many things calling for his attention and all he could think of was Isabella.

He was still worried about she was doing, event though she add Audrey with her Vincent was still feeling so much concern about her well being.

“Vincent!” Hall called with a loud voice bringing Vincent back from whatever planet he had zoomed off to, He had been watching him for some minutes and noticed that Vincent was no longer in the present day world.

Since Vincent told Hall about what had transpired between isabella and him, He had not had chance to see his best friend because he has been busy with work and decided to spend his off with Vincent.

“What’s wrong?” Hall asked his voiced filled with concern, he had never seen Vincent this way before and he knew it was about Isabella.

“It’s Isabella,” Vincent noted as he stared at him, his face reeking of frustration and sadness. “I have not been able to talk with her since she left I fear she might not be okay!” Vincent asserted.

But Hall knew isabella would br fine because if she was otherwise Audrey would have called his attention to it, “I think she is fine,” Hall confirmed.

“All I just want is to hear from Isabella but she is refusing to pick up my call and i do not know why,” Vincent lamented.

And immediately picked up his phone to dial Isabella’s number but as usual it rang but she had refused to pick vincent calls because she didn’t want anything to do with him anymore.

“She is not picking again,” Vincent noted as he turned to hall, he knew this was unlike him but since isabella left the house he has not been himself.

“What about my sister, have you tried calling her?” Hall suggested, he knew that was the only option they had even though Hall knew how stubborn and hardened audrey can be.

“Alright I am gonna try that,” Vincent nodded and straight way he dialed Audrey’s number and within few seconds she picked.

“Hello Audrey it’s vincent,” Vincent announced, he knew that he had just few minutes to speak with audrey especially because of how impatient Audrey can be whenever it comes to her best friend.

“Hi Vincent,” Audrey replied with a soft tone as she tried her best to be polite even though she knew Vincent was majorly good to Isabella, she knew for sure that vincent had always been a playboy and she didn’t want isabella to become one one his games.

“How is Isabella doing?” Vincent asked his voice masked with concern and worries, what he actually wanted was to speak to isabella himself but it seems she didn’t want to talk to him.

“Are you asking about Isabella or about your child inside of her?” Audrey asked sarcastically, she knew the only reason why Vincent cared about Isabella was because of his child.

But that was not the reason why vincent cared for her, infact to be honest Vincent didn’t know why either but he knew he was drawn to the girl he had a one night stand with and wanted to look for her and from the minute he found isabella at the party, he had made up his mind not to let her go.

“I am serious Audrey, I really want to know how Isabella is doing and it’s not just because she is carrying my child but because i am worried about her.” Vincent noted.

“I am worried about if she is eating well or sleeping well or if she is still angry at me or if she needs anything,” Vincent continued.

“Well Vincent, Isabella is not fine but she is going to be okay as far as you are not in her life,” Audrey confirmed but Vincent wasn’t ready to get hung up yet. “Can I speak to isabella?” Vincent questioned.

He knew deep down that Audrey might not give him the chance to speak with Isabella but he needed a chance to hear from her,

“That not going to be possible, since you came into Isabella’s its gone from one trouble to another, I would really appreciate it if you just respect her wish and let her be please!” Audrey asserted.

“Audrey I know, you have never liked that I was close to Isabella because what you know about me but that’s history and i do not have any bad intentions towards…..” Vincent tried to explain to Audrey but she ended the call abruptly.

After the Audrey ended the call Vincent ust gave off a loud sigh, he was already tired of all this, he had tried to move on with his life but it just wasn’t working.

“I wonder if she is really ok,” Vincent said with his eyes filled with pain, as he repositioned himself he decided to clear off some document from his desk.

But after some few minutes his mother barged into his office leaving both of them in a state of frenzy, “What have you done!” She shouted glaring straight at vincent .

To all those who cared to know Mrs sto had a fearful personality which made all those around her careful, “This is going to be another trouble,” Vincent whispers to him

himself.

“What are talking about mother?”Vincent

questioned as he tried his best to recall what he might have done to warrant his mother’s reaction.

“Why would you allow yourself to be downgraded to this level all because of one girl?” Mrs storm continued.

Vincent was still confused about his mother was trying to to say but he knew it had something to do with isabella, “Mother please can you tell me the real problem,” Vincent noted.

But his mother just threw a folded bulk of pages at him, Vincent looked at the folded paper in disgust he had so much to deal and his mother was making things difficult.

“Mom, I really have a lot i am dealing with on my plate this period and i can’t play this game with you right now,” vincent confirmed but his mother had only just began her plan.

“I just can’t believe you are here seated comfortable while our family name is being tarnished all over the media!” Mrs storm asserted while Vincent and Hall exchanged quick glances.

Hall quickly excused himself leaving the mother and son to have their family conversation, after He left Vincent quickly turned to his mother.

“What do you mean by our name is being tarnished in the media?” Vincent inquired, since after their press conference there has not been any new information about him on the media.

“You can check the papers, it is written there that my son vincent storm was seen fighting with a man over a lady!” Mrs storm stated loudly.

“What!” Vincent replied with his eyes beaming with surprised as he quickly glanced through the news paper and there it was on the front page.

Apparently Mrs storm had secretly taken some photos of him, Timothy and isabella has they fought over isabella. “Who did this!” Vincent exclaimed with hia voice filled with anger.

“They have the wrong information about this, he no longer has a space in Isabella’s life!” Vincent asserted, but gus response only made his mother angry.

She had made sure that they wrote so many demeaning words about Vincent, just to spark up hatred towards isabella but all he thought about was isabella.

“I can not believe you are thinking about that lowlife of a girl right now, not with what is at stake the whole country is saying you stole a lady from his man Vincent! ” Mrs storm acknowledged.

She knew vincent care more about his image than anything and would not let any lady destroy it, “That does not matter mother, the main problem right noe is gow did this get to the media?”Vincent asked.

He knew his mother had something to do with this because Audrey had told them that she has seen his mother driving out of their apartment that day but he still wondered who had taken pictures of them.

“I do not know how it got out but all i know is you have to fix this Vincent, you can not allow all your father and I have worked for go down the drain!” Mrs storm proclaimed.

“It hasn’t gotten to that mother its just a little glitch and i am going to solve it, i am more worried about isabella.” Vincent confessed.

“And that is the problem, you are willing to let our family name go into the mud because of an upcoming actress!” Mrs storm protested.

“She is not just a nobody mother, she is my wife!” Vincent asserted. “Then that means you would have to divorce her!” Mrs Storm affirmed.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

But Vincent knew there was no way he was going to let that happen even if he knew their marriage was just for a year, “And if i don’t??” Vincent asked.
