All Chapters of Under His Protection: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Under His Protection:::: Michael raised an eyebrow in her direction, "I thought you don't believe that this came from your stalker, so why are you cautioning me now?"Laura broke the eye contact, tucked her hair at the back of her ear, Michael hid his smile when he saw the gesture, a sign that she's nervous. He knew her well more than she thought he knew, " Well I just don't want to see you die in my shop early this morning if that bread is really with poison"He stared at her for a moment while his heart made a giant leap in his chest, " You don't want to see me dead?""Yes!" She answered hotly, when she realized that her reply was way too passionate she stammered, " well...uh..that is... Any normal human would not want to see a person drop dead infront of them due to reckless behavior""Of course" he agreed, titling his lip to the side "and here I thought that you are geniuely concerned about my welfare""Michael...."

Under His Protection::: Laura gasped at his word with horror,she never knew that Michael was this ruthless, the more she imagined the word she could not help but shudder."Michael..." She stated, swallowing hard as she tried to summon courage to ask him, she has always wanted to ask him this even before.... We'll call it curiosity if nothing else."I want to ask you something Michael, if that is okay and I want you to be honest if possible"Laura could not help but notice the way the corner of his lip twitch, " I sincerely hope that question is no somewhat naughty, but fire on anywai iam always ready to answer your query as much as possible""Be serious, will you?" She eyes him darkly."Iam always serious when it comes to you" he shot back, staring straight into her eyes. then there is again the jolt in her heart.... Stupid body organ!"Okay" Laura said, trying not to be affected by his word, he really does

Under His Protection::: Laura paled at his word " What? Are you serious?""Not really, but I want to be sure" he replied grimly. From the look on his face she knew he is bothered at the thought, Laura could not help but to shiver in fear. " stay here while I investigate""Are you crazy?" She grabbed his jacket tightly, " You are going to leave me here alone while you inspect inside my apartment? Iam coming with you"He eyes her experatingly " It is dangerous Laura, just stay here I won't be long""No! I will come with you" she demanded stubbornly, Laura doesn't want to be left alone in his room while he is probably going to catch that stalker, she want to see the man behind all there mess."Laura...." He watched her like a five years old child, but right now she really doesn't care what ever he wanted to say because he knew her mind was already made up to follow him, finally he agreed."Don't do anything stu

Under His Protection::: Michael stood at the iron step of the aircraft preparing to leave, he was greeted by the warmth of the Paris sun and the cloudless blue sky, he watched as Laura Van-Lerie slowly descended infront of him from the iron step of the airplane as they arrived finally in Paris to attend her mother's birthday party.Two days ago her mother had called her to remind her of the bonquet she was holding in regards to her birthday celebration and her presence is highly needed, Laura had tried to bring up different excuses as to why she would not be able to make t due to her busy schedule."The birthday is just once in a year dear daughter, iam sure you can bear to be away from your work even for a moment to be with your family" her mother inserted smoothly giving her little or no way for excuse.There was a long pause during the call as Laura was yet to get over the embarrassment she had with the text message she sent to Michael, "

Under His Protection::: Michael shook his head, " I can't think of anyone your Excellency""Iam sure there is someone who cared for you if you perish from the face of the Earth" Trisha grinned mischievously, "iam glad that you accepted the job to protect Laura from this stalker of hers, I knew the two of you don't get along that well but she really needs your safeguard from unwanted men. Tell me Michael, has there been any progress with your relationship? I hope at least the two of you are trying to be friends with one another"He gave her a stoic expression, " we are doing our best to tolerate each other's company everyday, Don't worry we are doing fine surviving everyday without Killing each other"Trisha searched his face for sometime, " let's come inside I know you must be tired from your trip and you need to rest, you don't have to shadow Laura around the estate, she is safe here""But..."She didn't let him finish his pro

Under His Protection:::"At least you should have waited for your body guard before Sprint lightning, risking your pretty neck in the process" Laura sighed deeply when she heard the dry comment from Michael as maneuver his horse next to hers as she was staring at the vast land spread before them."Thank you very much for your concern but iam a capable horse rider Michael" she informed him as her gaze was still fixed at the front.She still couldn't believe that she was back home after almost four years living in NYC, she never thought that she would leave the palace but something or someone rather forced her to do so, she discretely glanced to the man in question, he was the reason why she choose to leave this place since he resigned as her father's bodyguard. It seems to her that he left a hole in her heart with his sudden disappearance."You seem awfully quiet today princess" he commented.From the corner of her eye she could see that he was studying

Under His Protection:::: Michael stared at her for few seconds, " Thanks for the offer your Excellency, but I more comfortable with my clothes""I will not leave until you wear this, I personally bought this tux for you" she said obstinately, " the ball is in your court but I will tell you iam not going anywhere until you wear this and I hope you will make the right decision if you don't want my husband to suspect that  iam having an affair with you, since I spent the night in the hallway with you"Michael stared at her in disbelief, " where the heck did she get that notion? Trisha is really handful and he really pity his excellency to fall for such a woman as this."Are you being serious?"Trisha nodded with a wicked smile in her face," very, me srw you going to wear this or Jadua will have to suspect that we are having an affair since I will not leave this place and iam sure he would come looking for me"Michael shook hi

Under His Protection::: They were both trying to catch their breath from another heated kiss, Michael rested his forehead to hers as their faces were only inch apart, he was still cradling her face in the palm of his hand."What now?" She asked unsurely."Your father will probably have my head in a few moment" he replied sanguinely as if he was really prepared for his death tonight, Laura put some distance between them even though it feels damn good to be in his arm, but they needed to have a serious conversation and she could not bear the thought that this would end like the first one, after tonight he would revert to his old self and she would wake up tomorrow, Michael was once again cold towards her. He would once again put wide mile distance between them."Be serious Michael, Will you?" She glared at him, she could not help but feel upset at the fact that he is taking this issue lightly, " what will happen now after this? I mean I don't

Under His Protection::::  "Ugh! my head hurts like hell" Laura heard her mother grunted as soon as she entered the dining room for her breakfast, " the coffee isn't strong enough to keep me awake this morning""Good morning Mom" she greeted sanguinely as she place the linen napkin on her lap, she smiled and thanked the housekeeper who poured her a cup of coffee."Where is everyone? Why are you all alone having breakfast?" Laura asked.Trisha eyed her daughter briefly before sipping her coffee again, " Oh your father already had his breakfast, he left me here nursing my second cup of coffee while mavey is still sleeping, I think as for Aiden he will not rise until lunch, that one is not a morning person""Oh" Laura nodded, she heard her mother sighed deeply shaking her head, " please remind me in the future not to host a party anymore".Laura rolled her eyes, still sipping her coffee."I stayed till the last

Under His Protection:::: "You seems upset for unknown reason" Laura commented once they left the estate, she clearly don't understand the way Michael thinks, Frankly speaking."Iam not upset" he said, in a clip time.She faces him while his gaze was fixed on the road ahead of them, " who will not be upset when you plan to go to town without me?"Laura took a deep breath,  " I already told you...""I know" Michael said in a much calm manner, he surprised her when he took her hand and interwine with his, " It is just that I don't like the idea of you going somewhere I can't see or protect you,  Laura you are the most precious thing to me, you know that right?""Michael...."He smiled tenderly in her direction, " it is a good thing your car is automatic, so I can hold hand with you like this'Laura could not help the heat nor the butterflies that flutter in her stomach with his words. " Why don
