Taking His Protection - Mary Etta
One
"But Daddy, I don’t want a bodyguard!" Gabrielle flipped her mahogany curls behind her and rolled her eyes. Her father, Kurt Rochester, was on her case again about security, about her party habits and worst of all about taking the reins of Rochester Holdings.
Dammit Gabrielle I won’t have you hurt like Liana!
He banged his fists on his oversized oak desk as her roared at her. Either you will take a bodyguard or you will stay here.
She sighed heavily, tired of this conversation she’d had for what felt like the hundredth time. Six months ago Gabrielle’s cousin Liana had been kidnapped and held for one week in a shack in the desert about two hundred miles outside of Las Vegas. When the $10 million ransom was paid Gabrielle’s father and his twin brother Ken took a helicopter to retrieve Liana. She was battered and beaten—literally—with a fractured leg and broken arm, broken ribs and a concussion. Since then poor Liana hadn’t left the family compound in Henderson, and poor Gabrielle had to deal with an overprotective father and uncle determined to wrap her in cotton. "Well Daddy I am a grown woman and you can’t tell me where I can and can’t go. I worked hard to win this trip and I’m going, so I suggest you figure out a way to be okay with it."
Kurt sat back and eyed his daughter critically. She was beautiful without a doubt, dark fluffy hair that floated when she walked, brown eyes flecked with green and a long dancer’s frame that she inherited from her mother. But Kurt knew Gabrielle was also stubborn and determined to get her own way, which she could attribute to his DNA. She was a party girl but, he had to concede, she was also a hard worker. He just wished she wanted to take over the family company Rochester Holdings rather than become a writer. He shook his head in distaste, a writer. Goodness he’d rather her do anything but that. Don’t do anything until you hear from me Gabrielle.
Before she could respond he held up a hand to stop her. Two days Gabby. Give me two days and we’ll talk again. Okay?
Gabrielle stood and leaned over the desk for a kiss. Sure thing, Daddy. I’ve got a few things to pick up for my trip anyway. Call me when you’re ready to discuss my trip.
She smiled and bounced out the door before he could say anything else. It was her favorite trick to use on her father and her ex, Taz. She would rephrase their ‘orders’ in a way that suited her then rush off before they
