All Chapters of GABRIEL VINCENT — My Protector Senator: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Silverwood, IllinoisAngel MontgomeryEver since I realized they had fabricated an entire cover story to hide their dirty secret, with Jason using his police connections to frame a fake suspect, the sheer gravity of my situation hit me.I need to find a way out of here. I no longer know what those two are capable of.Today is the day I get discharged from the hospital. Through all these days, I played along and cooperated out of fear they might do something even worse.It was only when I was released and returned home to my father that I finally managed to breathe a little easier.Still, I can't bring myself to tell him the truth. Just learning his daughter had been shot was enough to shake him to his core.If he ever found out his own wife and son-in-law betrayed him...His weak heart would never survive a shock like that."It's so good to have you home, sweetheart. You gave us such a terrible fright!""Your boss heard you were discharged and promised to stop by to see you today," he

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

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

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 VincentI was in the office with Marcus settling crucial campaign matters when Frank called to report that Angel had slipped away from him and headed to the newsroom alone.Pure rage took over, and I went straight after her.Through my extensive personal and professional experience, I know all too well that men of Jason's profile never let go of their prey so easily.Guys of that nature view the women in their lives as absolute possessions: they either keep them under rigid control or try to destroy them so no one else can have them."How is she, Doctor?" I ask, walking down the hospital hallway beside the physician.Angel collapsed in my arms right after the confrontation on K Street, immediately after I pulled her from that scumbag's clutches."She's going to be fine, Mr. Vincent. She suffered a severe anxiety and panic attack, which triggered a sudden drop in blood pressure.""She's been medicated and stabilized, but she requires rest. The healing process from her recent su
