Under His Protection

Waking to a rather ominous day, Mary wished for otherwise, as she prepared to go over to the whites, she feared the outcome but knew she had no other option.

It had already been up to a week after Isabella and Vincent visited, she had previously made up her mind to keep the whites in the dark concerning Isabella’s wedding to Vincent but she had found it difficult to get the perfect plan, and Mrs white on the other hand had called her asking about Isabella’s whereabouts, and it was only wise for her to explain things out to the white’s.

Mary just couldn’t keep up with the pretense anymore, because even if she had wanted to do something about Isabella’s absence from work, she knew that she no longer had control over her daughter and to make matters worse, Isabella was nowhere to be found as Mary had been told she had moved out from her old place.

“I’m off to the whites,” She announced turning to Angel who was busy on her phone, they had earlier had a discussion about this and had concluded it was best they let the whites handle Isabella themselves.

“Ok, Mother,” Angel replied in a loud tone without looking at her mother, still focused on her phone she already knew her destination and wasn’t concerned about anything else.

Getting to the white company building, Mary could feel her heart beating faster at every step but she succeeded in concealing her fright.

As she walked into Mr white office, Mary suddenly carried herself in her usual prideful and calculative demeanor as she beamed a warm smile at Mt white.

“Hello, Mr white,” Mary greeted her voice soft and welcoming as she tried her best to conceal the anxiety that eating her away.

Buy Mr white didn’t seem to appreciate Mrs Cassie’s present, but did his best in concealing it as he returned her greeting.

“Hello Mrs Cassie,” Mr white greeted as he motioned for Mrs Cassie to take her seat and offered her a drink.

“Tea?” Mr White asked as he tried to place an order with his secretary but Mrs. Cassie politely declined, he wondered why Mrs. Cassie had decided to visit him.

He knew she would not be there if it wasn’t urgent and the last thing he wanted from her was any more trouble trouble especially with the issues her daughter had been costing him.

“What’s the problem?” Mr white asked with a slightly harsh tone as he could no longer condone the silence.

“There is a big problem!” Mary declared her voice loud and alarming, as she looked straight at Mr who was taken by surprise.

“Did something happen to Isabella?” Mr white asked with curiosity as he waited for her reply, Isabella’s safety was the only thing he cared about as he knew the repercussions of having any issues regarding Isabella.

“Isabella is getting married!” Mary announced, her voice slightly shaken at the gravity of her words.

While Mr white could not control the sudden anger that bewitched him, “What!” He exclaimed with a loud voice, Mary could see his eyes already turning red announcing his fury.

He had not been able to solve Isabella’s latest nonchalant attitude towards getting a contract which had made him become a sort of ridicule by his wife.

“What do you mean Isabella is getting married!” Mr white fumed at Mary with a loud voice, it was obvious he couldn’t hide the rage that already constricting his heart, he was not only surprised at Mary’s news but was also angered by Isabella’s insolence.

“Isabella is set to get married very soon and you know what that means,” Mary asserted with concern as she waited for his response, but instead he rebuked her.

“You sit there and tell me your daughter is set to get married under your roof when you quite well know the consequences!” Mr white questioned his voice increasing in anger, he wondered how they had all suddenly lost control over Isabella.

“Isabella had informed us without any prior notice and she was betrothed to Timothy and it was not long ago her engagement was called off,” Mary said as she tried to explain to him.

Mr white could not seem to fathom what Mary had explained, she was her mother and was supposed to be aware of her daughter’s relationship especially when it had gotten to the stage of marriage.

“Are you trying to say you never knew of this relationship?” Mr. White asked curiously, his eyes glaring at Mrs. Cassie, how could she be so careless, especially with what was at stake?

“I can assure you I am as shocked as you are, I thought she was wallowing herself with work after her engagement with Timothy was called off,” she confirmed her voice calm and firm.

“If only you and your wife had informed me first before agreeing to marry her off, things would not have gotten this bad,” Mary continued her voice shrilled and filled with anger as she felt the lump in her throat increase.

She had just had to show her disapproval of their action, even if she had always wanted Angelto come first t to Isabella, she had never wanted something like this to happen tonto Isabella after all she was still her daughter.

“Are you trying to accuse us of selling your daughter off without your consent,” Mr white questioned his tone vindictive, he knew they were wrong but he still managed to play with Mary’s emotion.

“But what!” Mr white snapped at Mary not allowing her to proceed, “I can’t believe you can be this ungrateful,” he continued with a low tone showing how displeased he was at Mary.

“I didn’t mean to be, I was just trying to make you understand why all this started,” Mrs Cassie protested her words calm and calculative, she knew how manipulative the whites could be but that was not the reason why she was there.

“But now that it’s already done, what are you going do about it?” Mrs Cassie asked her tone masked with curiosity, all she wanted was a way out of this mess.

“What do you mean me?” Mr white scoffed with a wide grin playing around his lips, “I guess you think you and those stupid daughters of yours are out of this?” Mr asked rhetorically, he knew they had nothing to do with this in the first place but there was no way he was going to let them go free.

“Be reminded we are not against just anyone but Don Fernando,” Mr White asserted drawing Mary’s attention to the obvious.

“But what if we just close the deal instead or find someone else for Don Fernando,” Mary asked trying to find another way out but Mr White’s expression showed his disapproval.

“How can you spew out such nonsense from your mouth!” Mr White reprimanded his words hard and firm striking hard at Mrs Cassie.

“I see you have lost your mind, do you think if it was that easy we would still be on it?” Mr White fumed at Mrs Cassie, his voice rising in anger.

“No one has ever dared to break a contract with Mr Fernando and lived afterward, and you certainly do not want to be in that state,” Mr. White acknowledged his words as harsh and dismissive.

“Yes! I do not want any of this happening but what do you presume we do about this?” Mrs. Cassie queried her words quivering in worry, shent any harm coming to her and her daughters.

“We need to act fast!” Mr White noted his words sharp and firm as he pondered on his next move.

“I would suggest we get hold of Isabella,” Mrs Cassie suggested to Mr white, she knew the Whites were the only ones who could get Isabella under control.

“That is true, but she has not been active lately and I have not even set my eyes on her for months now!” Mr acknowledged his voice evidence of his worries.

“I think we need to find a way to summon Isabella to the company. ” Mrs Cassie said as she tried to think about other options.

“Yes! I have got the perfect plan to get Isabella here and stop the wedding from happening,” Mr White announced his eyes beaming with joy, the contract was all he needed to bring Isabella down.

“I have it all covered,” Mr White said assuring Mrs Cassie who still was not convinced, but there was nothing she could do.

As she walked out of Mr. White’s office, Mrs. Cassie felt a bit relieved, she knew the whites would do anything possible to make sure Isabella and Vincent’s wedding didn’t come to pass.

Mr White immediately called his lawyer over to his office, he was going to sue Isabella for breaching the terms of their contract, and he was going to make sure Isabella paid for all the

stress she had made him go through.
