The Kidnapped Bride

“Leave my hand, Jennifer.” His cold tone didn’t shove her determination. She held his hand with firmness and didn’t let him escape from her clutch either.

But at the same time, his icy cold eyes glittered with dangerous glint. If gazes were the weapon, then she could have died hundreds of times.

“Ask Ellen or someone to bring aid...I will do ba-” Jennifer was interrupted in the middle when Javier intentionally snatched his hand from her grip.

He didn’t let her take another look at his wound but then he passed the comment, “You are telling me now that we have lost our child?”

“So late?” Javier can’t understand his wife. She had all the measures to contact him or his brother. Did she not feel that this should be communicated back to him at least once?

In response, Jennifer bit her lower lip.She swiped her head down in the embracement, “I felt that your health isn’t good either. If I had told you..you would have been upset and your recovery will be slow..”

.....

“C’mon, Jennifer!” At this point, Javier couldn’t believe what he heard from her. She was defending herself!?!

Did she think that the child inside her womb was individually made by her? He was also going to be a parent!!! But the right was snatched from him by the person he hates the most...his deadly enemy...

Hearing her words made Javier understand so many things. He failed to protect his family. He took his opponent too leisurely and failed as a parent and a husband... All because of one man who also backstabbed him. His own father. ‘Mr. Johnson’s involvement resulted in the death of his own grandchild..’ he could never come on the terms that his own father would resent him so much.

But after looking at his dear wife, he knew she was worried about it. Yet, he wasn’t in the mood to confront the tensions and either to ease them. Without taking a chance, Javier stepped out of her room.

“Javier! Listen to me at last...I’m not done!!” From behind, Jennifer kept on shouting but he didn’t turn around. All she found herself was alone in the giant room. He left after hearing half the information...

‘I was supposed to tell you about my current pregnancy...’ but he ran before she could have communicated her words. At this point, Jennifer’s eyes narrowed with the sad feeling in her heart.

Subconsciously, she brought her hand near her heart to clutch it tightly.Jennifer could sense her own mind going through wild emotions which were harder to control. “I’m sorry baby....” the recollection of the tiny child in her stomach who had now gone to heaven tore her heart into pieces.

She could hear the cracking of the vase from the outside of the room but Jenifer didn’t have the courage to stop Javier.His anger was justified. After all, he realized that he was going to become a father.. only to lose his first child..

She fell to her knees as she held her stomach protectively in a soft embrace, while tears rolled from her cheeks. “I’m so sorry...I’m sorry baby. Your mother wasn’t able to guard you either...”

“But please remove your father’s guilt..please baby..”

....

Outside Jennifer’s room, there was a mess. In the lobby, one of the vases was already broken into pieces as Javier’s eyes were blazing all red with anger. He always lost his mind the moment he realized the intensity of the situation. His breath was uneven, as well as the veins on his hand were popping out.

But in the middle of the chaos, Javier brought his other hand to keep it on his head. “Just calm down Javier..this will not destroy Lucas...”

He kept his head against the wall for a while with closed eyes. At that moment, calmness and rationality began to reappear in his mind. He found his heart understanding things and at that moment, Javier’s evil mind worked.

He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed a specific number. The ring went through and the other side picked it up, “Tell me”

“I have something to ask from you, Jack. Get it done as early as you can.” the other went silent for a minute before responding, “Is the work hard?”

“Related to Lucas.” he told Jack honestly and then heard Jack going silent once again. Javier didn’t doubt that it would not be an easy task either to convince Jack, but he held his hope higher than before, “Either you help me or I will use my method to get what I want.”

“Don’t you already have Jennifer with you?” Jack can’t help but ask, to which Javier laughed, “More than that.”

“Go and ask them.” Jack finally agreed to hear Javier’s demand. While Javier took a deep breath to control his anger under his wings before muttering,

“I want....Lucas...”

“LUCAS?!”

Jack’s sudden yell made him understand that the man next in line was taken aback by his open demand. But Javier had no intention of deviating from his words.

“I want Lucas...and unharmed. Do whatever you can do for me. I want that man within two days.” Javier’s threatening tone had made Jack find the meaning behind his words. There was no doubt that Javier hates Lucas.

But what occurred for him to request to personally see him? Jack went into a dilemma and to extinguish his doubt, he further asked a question, “Has he done something again?”

At this query, Javier’s lips were sealed in a straight line. Jennifer’s words played like repetitive thoughts in his mind and he brought winter mist to cover his eyes with a dangerous glint.

“He has snatched something very precious from me and my wife. I want it to be compensated..and in my way..”
