Under His Protection

“What….” Before Laura could comprehend what was happening, japhet two bodyguards forcefully remove her from her seat, “….. What are you doing?” Laura screamed trying to struggle and she lost hold of her smartphone as it fell on the tiled floor, ” You can’t do this to me japhet”

“Sorry Laura, you give me no other choice than to do this”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

japhet did the unexpected, he punched Laura in the stomach making her suck air due to the sudden sharp pain she felt.

“OMG! My baby” Laura lashed out at him which earned another punch in the stomach, still reeling from pain before she could protest more, his bodyguard picked her and placed her inside his luxury car, ” Michael help me” she stated miserably as hot tears ran down her cheek.

As soon as Michael arrived at the estate after his ride with Laura father, he immediately excused himself from his father-in-law wanting to meet Laura in town as soon as possible, he dialed her number as he went to his room to shower and change his clothes since his shirt was filled with dust and sweat from the ride.

“Hello” he heard the familiar warm voice if his fiancee on the other line, he silently exhaled the breath he didn’t know that he was holding until he heard her voice, Michael could not tame down the nervousness that sneak down his spine since she left, ” where are you my love?” He asked, already halfway from finishing to put a new shirt on while talking to her, “…. I will come pick you up very soon”

“Iam here at the…..” Laura trailed, Michael suddenly focused himself to hear her word, he heard a man in the background talking to her, his blood ran cold when he realized that the man talking to Laura sounds like japhet.

“He is still here?” Michael wondered, he thought that by now japhet should have already left the country, his heart literally stop beating in his chest when he heard his wife to be shouted as if struggling to free herself.

“Laura!” Michael shouted as he began to panic, ” What is happening there? Answer me my love, Laura! Laura!”

The voice and struggling gradually become distant from the phone, Michael looked at his phone screen in horror, Laura was in trouble with Japhet, he shouted again trying to know what exactly was happening but no response on the other line.

“That bastard!” Michael swore, if anything happens to Laura and his baby he would pay dearly with his life. Immediately he sprinted out of his room and searched for Jadua.

Michael found Jadua in his study room looking at some documents in his hand, he didn’t bother to knock before barging into the room, ” I need your help” he said helplessly, trying to collect himself even though fear was slowly entering inside him.

“What kind of help?” Jadua asked still reading the documents with him, Michael swallowed hard praying for the safety of his fiancee, ” Laura…. Laura is in danger, I think that japhet guy took her against her will”

Jadua leaped to his feet as he pushed the documents aside, ” what did you just say?”

Michael rubbed his palm across his face trying to ease the growing headache he feels, ” I think he kidnapped Laura and he might take her back to his country or somewhere we might never see them again, I need to borrow your plane so I can catch them on time before something bad happens”.

“That bastard!” Jadua muttered menacingly as his eyes turned dark and dangerous, ” I should have disposed him when I had the chance to”

“Jadua…..”

“Wait!” He said, picking up his phone on the table, he dialed someone.

” I think I know who can help us in search for Laura”

Michael was about to reply when the man seems to have answered his call, ” De Dòn I need your help”

Two hours after Jadua asked his friend for help In other to rescue Laura from the hand of the bastard who kidnapped and probably took her somewhere they would never see her again, Michael impatiently stood at the private airport waiting for Jadua friend to arrive.

He glanced at his father in-law who casually leaned on the sport car looking unbothered as if they were just sightseeing instead of rescuing his daughter. They both waited for DèDon to arrival with his private plane.

“Don’t you think we are wasting time here?” Michael asked, slightly irritated, he heard Jadua sighed while looking at the sky for any sign of aircraft.

“DèDon said we should wait for him here since he is bringing the information we need personally”

“What then is taking him so long?…” This time the irritation was already visible in Michael voice, Michael could feel that he was wasting time standing at the tarmac doing nothing whereas Laura and his child might be in serious danger, “…. he has a private plane which should make him faster than a commercial aircraft”

“Relax Michael”

Michael tried to do that while waiting for his father-in-law billionaire friend but he couldn’t, he paced the tarmac like a caged Lion, every muscle in his body were taut with tension, ” if this man doesn’t arrive here in ten minutes I will book a flight to NYC” he thought within himself.

Jadua looked at him with sympathetic eyes, before he could talk to Michael again they heard the distinctive engine of a plane in the sky, they both saw the Gulfstream plane preparing to land in the tarmac, ” Alright! Look who we have here” Jadua announced as he detached himself from the hood of his car.

They both waited until the aircraft made a self landing and standstill at the tarmac, when the engine died the iron steps were lowered and the man in question descended from the plane majestically.

Michael eyes widen when he realized that DèDon wasn’t alone in the plane, there were three men with him.

“What took you so long brother?…” Jadua asked DèDon, then he threw a disapproving frown towards the others, “what are you all doing here?”

The greyhaired billionaire grinned widely, his dark eyes danced with laughter, ” sorry my friend, my plane took a detour to pick some passengers”

“Why did you bring them all?” Jadua asked again, this time with annoyance, “… I just asked for the information concerning my daughter kidnapper Japhet Montenegro”

DèDon merely smiled, ” And I have all the information you need, Now if you all will just ride and let me take you to NYC where he is hiding with your daughter, we can rescue her in no time”

“Look, can we save your chitchat later, we need to save my wife and our baby from that bastard first” Michael said with furstration when they all look like they got here for a get-together and having kept quiet for sometime watching the two friends.

Once inside the luxury plane, everyone took a chair on the plush gold coloured leather, Michael took the chair across Jadua and it didn’t take long before the aircraft engine spring to life again, preparing for their flight to NYC.

“Wait for me Laura” Michael begged silently as he fastened his seatbelt, the airplane now taxied on the runway and few moments later they were finally In the airspace, Michael tried to calm his tension trying hard not to think if japhet had not hurt her and the baby in anyway, he couldn’t forget the painful groan Laura made on the phone before everything became silent, he hoped in few hours they would find his wife and she would be finally saved from that psychotic bastard.

“Take a look at this Michael” Jadua offered him the folder which DèDon gave to him earlier before entering the plane, Michael took the folder reluctantly and couldn’t believe what he saw.
