Lord Protector Novel

Zach looked irritated the minute he saw Zeke.

Sh*t. My plan was just about to work!

He hadn’t expected such an obstacle to come falling from the sky at this crucial moment. Timing had never been Zeke’s strong suit, huh?

Zeke looked at Robin and Zach and pretty much guessed what was going on.

This darling brother of his was cruel enough to try and punish his heart instead of his body.

If he had succeeded, it would have hurt more than any physical punishment.

Zeke walked over to Lacey.

Lacey was shocked and scurried backward. “Don’t come any nearer! Who are you?”

Zeke was a little annoyed at that and flicked Lacey lightly on the forehead. “Silly goose, it’s me, Zeke. Don’t you recognize me?”

Lacey’s heart leaped in her chest. She recognized that flick on her forehead.

Lacey pointed at Zach. “If you’re Zeke, then who’s that?”

Zeke sighed. “That’s my twin brother, Zach Williams.”

“So the man who brought me to the Williams household yesterday wasn’t you after all.” Lacey finally realized.

Zeke nodded. “Yes.”

Lacey’s eyes widened. “So the person in the photograph...”

Zeke sighed again. “Just think about it for a second longer. I hit Robin, didn’t I? The two of us are enemies now. Why would we be dating then?”

Waaahhh...

After making sure that the man in front of her was Zeke Williams, Lacey instantly started wailing.

Zeke has never betrayed me!

Zeke has never betrayed me!

Someone impersonated him and tried to cause misunderstandings purposely.

Zeke still loves me!

Zeke hugged Lacey gently, his heart ached at her cries. “Please don’t ever believe anyone else so easily, okay? Tell me everything if this ever happens again.”

Lacey choked out, “I’m sorry, Zeke. I really thought you didn’t want me anymore. I was even planning on leaving this world.”

Zeke dried her tears. “Silly girl. You meant the world to me. If I lose you, what else do I have to live for?”

Lacey started crying even more.

Zeke’s cold gaze landed on Zach and Robin.

The two of them shivered as if the temperature had gone down by a few degrees.

Zeke’s cold stare froze the very blood in their veins.

However, Zach didn’t seem apologetic at all. “What are you looking at? I was doing it for you! You’re part of the Williams family. We are a proud, well-known, and esteemed family, but you wanted to marry this lowly woman off the streets. That would have been an immense embarrassment for the Williams family. As your older brother, I wouldn’t want you to become the black sheep of our family. That’s why I tried to make her leave you!”

Zeke chuckled. “That’s one great way of phrasing it. So putting me in jail in your place for all those years was also for my own good, right?”

“I-” Zach Williams stammered as he was unable to retort.
