Chapter 148 - SHE WILL BE MINE

(A quick Flashback...)

Vincent took a shower the moment they arrived in the mansion. He dried his body and wore his lower pajamas and a sleeveless white shirt since he has no plan to go to bed but to work on his laptop at midnight.

He's reading some emails when a light knocks on his door, then follows Deana's soft voice.

"Brother?"

Vincent stood from his leather sofa and let Deana come in. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Deana flashes a smile then waving her phone. Soon, Sheena appeared on the screen, screaming.

"Brother, it is true? Is it true?"

Vincent was a bit confused about what gotten to his sisters. He looks at his two sisters with questioning stares.

"She's there! She's there, right?"

Ah. Now he understood. Deana told Sheena that Hailey is in the country.

"Yes. She's here, and she went to N University." He replied with a smile. This time he didn't conceal the sparks in his eyes, and his sisters shared a glance.

They were thrilled to see him like this. Both witnessed that their brother has never had a love life. And now they could see how happy he is.

Deana and Sheena swear that they would only be with the person they love. And it is what they wished for their brother. Whoever he loves, as long this girl loves their brother back, they will give their support to them.

"Wow. Really!? Oh, wait. How did you know? Don't tell me you stalked on her?" Sheena teases her brother with sparkling eyes.

Deana and Sheena glanced at each other when their brother smiled playfully.

"Oh, my God! So how was it, brother? When will you introduce her to us?"

"Silly. It's not like I could approach her and proposed to her immediately. What would her reaction be if suddenly, I knelt before her and asked WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

Upon hearing this from their brother, both Deana and Sheena shrieked. Not only that, the two girls are jumping from the thrill.

"Hey, you're pregnant. Stop jumping." Vincent reminds Deana that surprised Sheena.

"OMG! Is that true?"

"Yes."

"Ah! Brother, you should hurry up so that our children will play soon!"

Vincent chuckled. It made him happy that his sisters are showing support toward him. But things won't be easy for him.

"First, I should confirm if she isn't married yet."

"You're right, brother."

"What you're going to do now?" It was Deana who queried. "You should not let her escape from your sight."

"Yes. I need to make sure that I can protect her once I take her into my world. She would face judgment and humiliation from everyone, especially from the media. That is why I have to make plans thoroughly."

"And mom..." Both Deana and Sheena said at once.

"Especially mom, yes. She will be the one to dig a pit for her." He witnesses how their mom wears a stone heart when his sisters choose the men that Madam Hilda Lopez Shen disapproves of. It will be the same for him.

No. It will be more in his case. So then, to not lose the woman he fell in love with all these years, he needs to protect her even from his mom.

"Know that we were here to support you, brother. And if you need help to win her over, I would be ready to fly there!"

"Thank you. Don't worry. This time, I will make sure SHE WILL BE MINE." full of determination; he didn't hide his emotions in front of his sisters.

"Oh, looks like you already have a method to capture her heart," said Sheena. Her voice is teasing as usual. But she was truly happy for her brother.

Vincent smiled and replied to his sister...

"I will not let anyone stand on my way to be with her."

PRESENT TIME

Hailey changed her red dress into short skirts and a loose blouse which she tucked in. She still wears the red stiletto when she gets out of the restaurant.

Outside, she saw Fraine frowning in front of the two men leaning on their cars.

"I could go home alone," said Fraine. She noticed Hailey stood behind her. She added, "Hailey will drop me."

"Your apartment and her penthouse are in the opposite direction." Rodney cut her out, which made Fraine glared at him.

Fraine turned around, her eyes pleading to Hailey. 'Help me, please!' Her silent prayer. "Hailey will still send me home."

"Yes. It's just a quick drive," Hailey asserted. She saw Fraine breathed with a sigh of relief.

However, Zaijan disagrees.

"No. You will come with me, lady." He told Fraine with a firm tone. He added, "Rodney will escort Miss Hillson as we promise Vincent to watch over his girlfriend."

There are no words from her mouth, but she's a bit upset that Zayn always finds a reason to dominate her.

Fraine glanced at Hailey with apologetic eyes. Hailey nodded and walked toward her.

"I packed the food left. It will be a waste if no one takes it home."

"Whoa! Perfect timing! I'm starving!" Rodney exclaimed.

He climbed the stairs to get the food bag from Hailey's hand, but Fraine took it first. She was glaring at Zaijan, completely ignoring Rodney.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Fraine asked, gaping at Zaijan with a bit of worry in her eyes.

"We just finished our meeting. So I have no time to eat." He replied.

Fraine sighed furiously. She turned around and pursed her lips. "We'll go first, Hailey. Thank you."

"You're welcome. See you around, Fraine."

"Yes. See you around." Fraine climbed the passenger seat after Zaijan opened it for her.

"Rodney, make sure you escorted Miss Hillson till she's inside the gate." Zaijan reminded Rodney.

"I know," Rodney replied with a frown. He's a little irritated. But it's not because he assigned to this task. Besides, he has no other choice. But his issues are another thing. He's jealous, of course.

"Ahem." Hailey coughs to get Rodney's attention. She hands over the good bag in her other hand. "Here... I packed the rest of the food for Fraine. It's really for you and President Lopez."

Rodney quickly hides the sadness in his eyes. He smiled broadly and thanked Hailey. "I heard that you were preparing Vincent a lunch box. He's indeed a lucky bastard."

Hailey smiled timidly. She didn't expect that Vince's cousin would comment like this.

"Shall we?"

Hailey nodded and walked toward her car. She's glad that Rodney is sensitive to their situation. He senses that she is uncomfortable.

She's not shy toward Vince's cousins. She is just always reminding herself that her man is a JEALOUS MAN.

And he is vocal about how jealous he is if she's friendly to other men.

She grew up with men around her. But now that she has a boyfriend, she must avoid getting close to other men.

Hailey turned the engine of her car and followed Zaijan's car, then Rodney is tailing them.

When they arrived at the main road, Hailey stopped and rolled down the car window. Fraine is waving goodbye, and Zaijan nodded at her.

She watched the car turn left and head south. And as for her, she needs to take the road to the north.

Hailey looked in her side-view mirror, glancing at the car behind her. She could see that Rodney was staring at Zaijan's car that now disappears from their sight after it takes a turn right.

She honks twice to get his attention. The car returned a honk, and that is the signal. She resumed driving, and Rodney followed her.

Ten meters behind them is Bruce's car. Hailey is comfortably driving now that her knight is tailing them. But as they just drove halfway on this hill, two race cars drove past them.

However, they've noticed that her car and Rodney's car are not just ordinary sports cars. They turned around and accompanied them along the road.

They were screeching their tires and making a loud noise from their engines.

Hailey tightly gripped the steering wheel. She struggles to keep her calm, but she needs to remain a clear head. Yet, the driver of the car behind her starts getting annoyed.

Rodney is now pissed off. If he hasn't escorted Vincent's girlfriend, he already accepts these idiot challenges, and he races with them. But the race cars are getting persistent.

Then his eyes widened when Hailey's car sped up, leaving them behind.

"Shot! Vincent's girlfriend is truly something!" He mumbled and stepped on the gas.

He watched when one race car attempted to overtake the yellow Aperta. But the driver has professionally blocked the race car.

"Damn! Is she this good? However, even she seemed to be a professional race car driver. Still, Vincent will kill me once he learns about this!" Rodney stressed out, and he began freaking out.

The car in front of him is a bother. He tried to overtake from the left side, but the vehicle blocked him fast.

"Shot!" He smashes the steering wheel. But then he saw Hailey blocking the car in front of him.

In what Hailey did, she opened the right lane for him. He sped up, and now he was on the lead.

He smirked. She's perfect! "Vincent, you are a bastard! Where did you find this girl? What else she could do?"

Not to mention how beautiful this woman is. She's an international chef and now a professional race car driver?

"She's indeed a mysterious girl!"

Hailey let Rodney take the lead. She focused on blocking the car behind. But then she remembered the traffic light at the foot of this hill.

She glances at the crossing road down below this highland. Some cars drive with velocity. And Hailey knows it's not a good idea to maintain her current speed.

She squeezed inside and overtook the car in front of her. She needs to stop Rodney and reduce their speed.

Hailey is sending a signal to the three cars, but no one is reducing their speeds.

She decided to overtake Rodney. Good thing that she secretly upgraded the engine of this La Ferrari Aperta to meet a race car speed.

Her car's actual engine has replaced the reason she could compete against a real race car.

Hailey now takes the lead; she keeps sending Rodney the signal. Finally, the guy got it, and he's now reducing his speed.

She gradually reduced her speed and prepared to stop at the traffic light when a loud crash in front of her.
