Under His Protection

CHAPTER 55

GUILT

It has not been easy on Vincent since the the last fighting scandal between him and Timothy which had left the media going buzz with some hateful comments about him and it was drastically destroying his career.

And with all that was going on he had been trying his best to avoid giving any speech to the press as he didn’t want to say anything that would be used against him.

It was already two days now since the incident with Isabella at the hospital and he had not been to his father’s company because he still trying to avoid the press, but that morning he needed to pick up an important document at the office.

He quickly got dressed early in the morning and drove to the company, he knew the reporters would not have arrived at his house that morning that was why he had thought to leave in time.

He got down from his car and went straight to his office and as usual there was so much work to be done, but he was up for it as he needed something to take his mind off what was happening.

After few hours he was done with all the files and he decided to leave for the house when he remembered isabella and checked the time, it was just past three and he still had a lot of time to get groceries.

As he walked out of the building trying to head into his car, he was spotted by a reporter they immediately began to bombard him with questions.

“Mr Vincent why have you been refusing to talk to the press?” one of the reporters asked but Vincent just continued walking towards his car, “Are you not ashamed to have disgraced yourself by fight over a lady?” Another one asked but Vincent just maintain his cool.

“Don’t you think the upcoming actress isabella Cassie is below your standards is not worth fighting for?” the reporter asked again but this time Vincent could not let go.

“Isabella is not a low standard lady, she is far better than most of the top actress in the country and she is also a good woman,” vincent confirmed as he immediately entered his car and slammed the door behind him.

He didn’t want the reporters to ask him any more private questions but unknown to him that he was live on the media at that moment and isabella had just watched as those words about her.

Isabella was instantly picked by vincents words she had always thought he was only concern about the baby and not her but she was disappointed at herself for not seeing his true nature.

Vincent had actually had her in mind and now she believed that it wasn’t just about the baby, “What have i been thinking?” Isabella thought hard to herself, she could not believe she had actually been the selfish one all along.

She had the wrong notion of Vincent all along and was just realising that it was not just about only his child for Vincent but he had actually wanted her safety also.

Especially because he had been caring towards her since she was admitted in the hospital even though he knew she was to be blamed for het predicament and for all her stubbornness had caused him.

“I think I have been the selfish one all along and I have hurt vincent more than I can imagine,” Isabella admitted, she only wished she had not been so harsh towards him and had not left his house.

“I am going to make things right!” Isabella confessed as she made up her mind to apologize properly to Vincent.

And just as if known that Vincent had actually drove straight from the office to see her, he walked into the room with some groceries as he dropped them on the table.

He noticed isabella was happy to see him, byt he didn’t think much on it, “Hi bella, how are you feeling?” Vincent asked as he looked at her with concern.

Though he was still angry at her for being too stubborn, he still could not bring himself to stop caring about her. “Hello Vincent,” Isabella replied with a warm smile.

“Thanks for the groceries, i still have the one you bought yesterday but u really appreciate all the care you have been showing me.” Isabella said in a soft tone.

“It’s fine Bella,” Vincent replied surprised by her response, he had noticed she was changing towards him since after the incident with timothy but he knew she only felt bad because she was wrong.

“I really want to apologize for all I have cost you lately, I know all these are my fault and i really sorry for causi g so much trouble.” Isabella apologized as she looked at Vincent with sincerity in her eyes.

But Vincent was not moved by her words because he knew she was as stubborn as ever, “It okay Bella , its nit your fault you were played by Timothy.” Vincent asserted.

“I would be getting discharged tomorrow! ” Isabella announced as she waited for Vincents reply but he was obviously not excited.

“That’s good, i will make sure to get everything ready for you.” Vincent replied, “i would like to come back home if that’s okay with you,” isabella continued hoping this would make vincent happy.

“No problem i am fine with whatever you choose,” Vincent confirmed, his words cold and firm which only made isabella felt more sad and remorseful, she could see that vincent was still angry about what had happened .

Deep down Vincent was not sure if he wanted isabella to come back home because he did not want anymore chaos but he knew he would still be worried about her even though he was angry with her.

“Vincent i know i messed up big time and you are very angry at me but i am really sorry for making you this mad it wasn’t my intentions to cause you pain.” Isabella admitted as she tried to explain herself but Vincent quickly stop her.

“I told you that I am fine bella!” Vincent noted but Isabella was sure he was not fine and the guilt was beging to kill her inside, “B- but you..” isabella tried to explain but vincent just interrupted immediately.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Please if you don’t mind excuse me,” Vincent said as he walked out on her, Isabella was even more worried because he had never seen Vincent this way.
