GABRIEL VINCENT — My Protector Senator Chapter 8 — The Refusal...
Angel MontgomeryI felt completely exhausted from a sleepless night and the terror I had faced in that restaurant parking lot.The image of Jason stepping out from between the cars like a dark, unpredictable shadow wouldn't leave my mind.The vile threats he made against my life echoed inside my head, sending my heart into a tight, frantic panic.For nearly four years, I lived blinded by a fake romance, never imagining that man was capable of sleeping with my own mother.Worse than the disgusting betrayal was his ability to shoot me in the chest to cover up his crime, staging a robbery to protect his and Eleonor's reputations.All to hide their utter lack of character.Today, bitterness makes me face the cold, naked truth: Jason never loved me.I was just a convenient tool for an ambitious cop to get close to my father—an influential man who could open doors to the chief of police position.All I want now is distance from men—especially men like Gabriel Vincent."We're landing. My dri
GABRIEL VINCENT — My Protector Senator Chapter 7 — Reasons.
Gabriel VincentAngel looks at me with a sudden flick of astonishment.She is probably wondering what on earth I mean by claiming we can solve all our problems in one go with a single proposal."What do you mean by that?" she asks, studying me with a slight furrow in her brow."To start with, let's drop the formalities—we won't be needing them anymore," I say, locking my eyes onto her delicate features.The name Angel certainly suits her look. She is the angel who appeared out of nowhere to rescue me from a political deadlock I saw no way out of."As an investigative reporter, you must be well-informed, Angel. I know you're familiar with me from the news and have followed the constant press coverage about my closed-off demeanor."She listens in absolute silence, completely focused. It's the classic, sharp behavior of a seasoned news professional."'The man with a heart of ice,'" she murmurs, repeating the exact label newspapers and news outlets routinely throw at me."Precisely. I am
GABRIEL VINCENT — My Protector Senator Chapter 6 — The Proposal...
Gabriel VincentI stand hypnotized as I watch her contoured hips sway toward the porch, consumed by a fierce urge to make her mine right then and there.Only when the porch light flickers off do I order my driver to head toward my hotel, fully aware that this woman has just lit an explosive fuse I will never be able to walk away from."Miss Montgomery has been through a dreadful ordeal, sir..." the driver chimes in, his tone respectful yet laced with concern."She’s a darling girl, and that fiancé of his is a dangerous piece of work, even if he plays the sweet boy in public.""So you know her?" I ask, leaning forward slightly, intrigued by a local’s perspective."Yes, sir. Practically everyone in town knows her and adores her and her father, the former police chief—an outstanding man respected by all."He pauses briefly before dropping the detail that turns my stomach inside out and freezes the blood in my veins:"The poor girl was shot in the chest not too long ago and is still recov
GABRIEL VINCENT — My Protector Senator Chapter 5 — My Unexpected Hero
Silverwood, IllinoisAngel MontgomeryThe voice rang out deep and authoritative, cutting right through the darkness of the parking lot.Before Jason could draw his weapon, a massive shadow cut across the dim light of the lot.It was Gabriel Vincent, the feared defense attorney.The very last person I expected to see acting with such raw violence and fury was that polished, flawless lawyer."I said let the woman go, you coward..."He commands again, only fueling Jason's rage as he tightens his grip on my hair."Jason, please... you're hurting me, and my chest is starting to ache," I beg, terrified."Shut up, you traitor. You brought this on yourself. I'm gonna get rid of this arrogant prick, and then we're leaving.""And I'm not letting go of anyone, Mr. Arrogant! She's my woman, and we're handling our business...""Get the hell out of here if you don't want trouble with the law," Jason snarls at Gabriel, whose eyes look ready to throw sparks."It seems you didn't hear what I just aske
GABRIEL VINCENT — My Protector Senator Chapter 4 — Barriers and Threats
Silverwood, IllinoisAngel MontgomeryMy recovery has been fast, and I've done everything to keep my sanity intact so I could play my part among the traitors.I managed to stall Eleonor and keep her from discovering my escape plan.With Brandon's invaluable help, my emergency transfer to The Capitol Gazette's Washington, D.C. bureau was finalized in absolute secrecy.The official version I gave my father was flawless: a golden, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cover national politics in the nation's capital.I had less than three days before leaving, and I was counting down every second.I made the firm decision to leave town without ever touching the open wound of that vile betrayal, solely to protect my father."I'm heading to the grocery store. Do you want me to grab anything specific for you?""Thanks, Mom. I don't need anything," I reply, without looking up from the book I'm reading."You can't keep ignoring me, Angel. I am your mother...""Oh, so you remembered that now? You ha

Washington, D.C.Gabriel Vincent"Gabriel, you were magnificent!""If you want to win this election, though, you're going to have to lose that cold exterior. I don't see any other way. Do that, and there's no way the party turns down your nomination," Marcus, my chief of staff, gushes with excitement."I don't count my chickens before they hatch, Marcus. And quit nagging me about my demeanor."I hate his obsession with trying to make me smile all the time."We wait for their decision, and that won't come for another week. In the meantime, we need to raise more campaign funds. That's what actually matters!"The security detail clears a path through the sea of reporters jostling each other, starving for a soundbite.The guards hold back the crowd with firm arms, forming a flawless protective corridor all the way to the car door.I slide into the back seat, cross my legs, and stare out the tinted window, feeling the adrenaline of power surge through my veins—exactly where I planned to be
