Chapter 5 Alfred Mcauley

• “James, James.” I shout angrily.
• My assistant opens the door instead. “Is everything alright sir?” She asks watching me with searching eyes.
• “Get me James, call the security and IT team, I want to have a word with all the drivers and bodyguards.”
• “Yes sir, I’ll do that now.” She says hurriedly leaving feeling the tension in my voice.
• Who dare thinks they can mess with me or my family. I just need to find out who the person is and what they want and there’s no way that I’m going to let anything happen to my precious Annie, I will protect her till the day I die. No harm will come near her, I won’t allow anyone touch even the strand of her hair.
• I sit down feeling my heart racing from all the built up tension and anger, I might need to visit the doctor soon. I pick up my phone and stare at the picture, no harm is going to come to my daughter. I will make sure of that, it’s a good thing she is at home today. I need to call the security team at home to tighten the security and make sure she doesn’t go anywhere. I call the head of the security team at home and inform him on what just happened and to make sure he keeps my daughter safe.
• I need to keep her safe, there’s no way Annie will agree to staying at home all day for the next few weeks, she would want to go shopping or go from one party to another. A lot of people know her, she is always tagged as the rich heiress who doesn’t have anything doing except partying and spending her father’s money and I can quite agree with them. I remember last week’s accident and I start to feel a little bit angry at her. Couldn’t she find something to do and excel at it or just maintain a small profile? She always wants to be seen, she enjoys the attention, now look what that has gotten us into.
• The door suddenly opens and it startles me“You called for me sir,” it was just James. He walks in looking around if there was any problem somewhere, any intruder.
• “I just got an anonymous message, someone is out for me and Annie, we have to do something about it.” I informed him standing on my feet.
• “What will you have me do sir?” James asks eagerly. I like how loyal he is and how hardworking he is too.
• “Protect my daughter James. Nothing must happen to her.” I order and he nods.
• “Yes sir. Nothing will happen to her.”
• Soon enough the security team and IT team come in, the IT team had a look and they were going to try and find the person behind it. I increased the security around my house and office as well and most importantly around Annie. I cannot risk loosing her too, she is all I have left in this world.
• When the whole team had left I could finally relax a bit. I let out a loud sigh I didn’t know I was holding and proceed to call my daughter. I panic when she didn’t pick on the first two rings but relax when I hear her voice after the third ring.
• “Hello Papa, missing me already, should I come visit your office?” She asks and I laugh. I know she doesn’t miss me, she’s just looking for a way to get out.
• “No Annie, I wouldn’t want you burning down my office.” I joke laughing and she does the same too .“Have you had breakfast now?”
• “Yes papa, one of the cooks made me something.” She sounds like she didn’t like it. She doesn't really like any other chef aside from Chef Rose.
• “Good, good, now I can be sure you won’t be nearing the kitchen to do any damages.” I say laughing.
• “Papa” she whines getting tired of my jokes. “But papa why the extra security, I know I’m grounded but don’t you think this is a little too much?”
• “For you princess, nothing is too much.” I reply and I could just picture her rolling her eyes.
• “I know papa but I’m not a prisoner or do you want to treat your only daughter like a prisoner now papa?”
• This girl and always playing the only child card.
• “Of course not princess. You deserve to be treated like a princess in her father’s castle.”
• “Okay, since even prisoners get to see their friends can Becky come over?” I could picture her doing a puppy dog eye already.
• “Sure sweetie, have a nice day and please be safe.”
• “Okay papa, love you,” she says hanging up.
• Kids, how are we supposed to handle them? I sigh and chuckle a little. Today might not have started in a right way but after hearing her voice I feel better. I will protect her at all cost.
