Under His Protection

THE BETROTHED

Isabella stood there frozen at the sight of Timothy has so many thought rushed through her mind like swamp of bees, she was confused on what to do or say.

She had ran out trying to avoid vincent but was faced with more complicated figure, “What are doing here!” She finally said as she regained her composure there was no way she was going to let him think he had power over her.

“I am suppose to be asking you that,” Timothy fumed at Isabella, he had actually came to meet up with Vincent and not Isabella, his plan was to warn him to stay clear of Isabella and declare her as his.

“What!” Isabella replied vividly shocked by Timothy’s words, “Why would he ask me that?” isabella thought to herself.

Isabella was begining to feel irritated by Timothy’s presence as she recalled their last confrontation and how he had insulted her and call her sultry names.

“I do not have time for this, please leave!” Isabella shouted with an authoritative voice as she did not want to have any further discussions with Timothy, but he was not done with her.

“You are coming with me!” Timothy announced as he stared at Isabella who was still confused by all that was happening.

“You must be out of your mind, this is my home now and i am not going anywhere with you!” Isabella asserted and with that she decided to go back inside.

She had thought Timothy would leave if she went back inside the house but as she tried to close the door behind him, he had quickly grabbed her hands.

“I am going no where untill I collect what’s mine!” He asserted with a loud voice and started dragging isabella but she held her ground and started screaming.

“Let go off me Timothy!” Isabella ordered as she struggled to break herself free from his clutch, but he refused he knew Isabella would not willingly accept him.

She knew she had earlier refused Vincent help but at that moment she prayed earnestly for it as she fought her hands away from Timothy.

“What do you think you are doing!” Vincent shouted as he rushed over towards isabella and Timothy, he had rushed down after hearing Isabella screaming and was sure something was wrong.

He had first heard her raised her voice and he knew it was unlike her and also he checked through the window and there was no sight of Audrey’s car which made him more suspicious.

“Let go of her!” Vincent ordered as he pulled Isabella away from Timothy and dragged her to his side, “Are you okay?” He asked Isabella his eyes scanning through her body for any form of hurt.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“I am fine,” Isabella replied her voice trembling at the thought of Timothy grip, she wondered why he was at vincent’s house and why he was acting this way.

She thought of her mother sending him, maybe because she didn’t want her getting married to someone as influential as Vincent, come to think of she did not fail to show her disappointment when Vincent had announced their wedding.

But she knew Timothy was not someone to be easily controlled especially not by her mother, she also wondered if it was her sisters plan but she saw how happy she was when vincent announced their wedding and she knew there was bo way she would timothy come close her.

Not after getting him for herself, but why she pondered hard as she looked at him while standing behind Vincent.

“Who are you and what do you want from my wife?” Vincent questioned Timothy, who was still trying to get a hold on Isabella but was replied with a weird laughter that made Vincent wondered if timothy was mentally okay.

The thought Timothy harsh and continuous laughter threw Vincent off balance making him conclude timothy has a lunatic and he decided to act with more care.

“I said what do you want with my wife!” He ordered his words firm and harsh, he needed timothy he was the one in charge and not him.

“Mr Vincent or whatever dimwit you call yourself I would prefer you do not address Isabella has such because she belongs to me!” he announced sending shock waves across Vincents spine.

He wondered what Timothy was talking about but before he could say anything Isabella had replied.

“i think you have gone mad!” Isabella scoffed at Timothy but he obviously had a perfect answer. “Yes my love, I am going insane for you.” Timothy confirmed his eyes glaring at Isabella.

Isabella could not believe her ears, all the time she was with Timothy he had never called her his love and it was very strange to see him fight over her.

“I certainly do not know what your problem is but Isabella is my wife and she belongs to me alone!” Vincent acknowledge, he knew there was strange about Timothy’s claim but he would have to deal with that later.

“I think you have been fooled by Isabella here, I have come to warn to stay clear of my betrothed!” Timothy asserted his voice firm and authoritative.

“Betrothed!” Vincent asserted his eyes glowing in optimum surprise, Isabella had never mentioned she was betrothed and it seemed her family had forgotten also because they didn’t also.

“I’m afraid I think you are mistaken because my wife had never made mention of any such thing which means you do not exist,” He stated his voice full of confidence, he didn’t the truth about timothy’s claim but al he knew was he was going to take Isabella’s side no matter the circumstance.

“I am now sure with no doubt that you are already going mad or maybe you have taken something that is making you hallucinate, we are no longer betrothed to each other amd you know that.” Isabella stated.

With what Timothy had just mentioned she knew if a surety her family would not be involved in this because her mom and sister had always wanting to break their marriage agreement because she wanted Timothy for angel instead.

“It was not official which means we are still betrothed to one another!” Timothy announced but Vincent was already irritated by his baseless claims.

“I want you off my property and far away from my wife! ” Vincent announced as he motioned for timothy to leave but he was still unmoved, though he had established his claim over Isabella he still wanted vincent to be scared of him but it wasn’t working.

Before coming to vincents house Timothy plan had been to warn him and make claim over isabella but he saw that Vincent had a lot of trust for isabella.

“You must be a joker!” Timothy affirmed but Vincent knew the best solution, “I am going to call the cops if you don’t leave my property!” Vincent asserted and with that Timothy retreated.

“I will be back!” He confirmed as turned his back in retreat, even though he had connections he knew he was at the wrong and he did not want to give Vincent the pleasure of having the last words.

immediately Timothy walked away Audrey drove into Vincent’s compound, apparently there was traffic and that was why she was late.

“what happened?” She questioned immediately, as she hurriedly came dien from the car, she had seen Timothy walked out of Vincents apartment and knew something must had gone wrong.

“Let’s go inside,” Vincent said as he held Isabella hand and Audrey followed, he knew they had eyes watching them and didn’t want them prying any further.

Immediately the entered the house Isabella burst into tears she had beeb holding herself but could no longer hold it in.

“why me, what is wrong with me?” Isabella uttered as she allowed her emotion take control of her, she just could not understand why timothy had come to cause her chaos.

“It’s okay bella,” Audrey said as she rushed over to Isabella and tried to console her, she didn’t a tooth sayer to tell that Timothy had reigned havoc and moreover she had never like him.

Vincent on the other just stood there amazed as he recollected all that had just happened, he had never met Timothy before and he knew for sure that isabella had never said anything about her past relationship.

But from Isabella and Timothy’s conversation he could tell that had a relationship, “Who is he?” Vincent asked after he had waited for Isabella to be calm.

“We were betrothed to each other by our families but we broke off the engagement after the day i met you and I am shocked as you are to see him,” Isabella replied.

“But why is he saying you are still betrothed to him?” Vincent questioned, he was now even more confused because Timothy did not have a solid reason for coming to their house and moreover Isabella had been living with him for months now and he never cared to look for her.

“That Bastard!” Audrey proclaimed her voice filled with contempt she had never liked timothy but she didn’t think he would go this far.

“It’s okay but it think need to be more careful, at least there was no much eyes around.” Vincent noted but at that moment Audrey instantly remembered something.

“We have a bigger problem!” Audrey declared.
