The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 240 - Javier Will Marry Emily

Soon, both Austin and Hannah left her alone to stay. After hearing whatsoever that Austin said about the laws of this state, only had her condition turned worse.

Yet, she managed to send both of them back in her own time and not to keep them here and cry. Rather, she knew how to appear stronger instead of shedding tears.

At this point, nothing could make her feel warm inside her heart except the truth and confrontation that only Javier can tell her. Sitting on the bed, Jennifer was looking out of the window to see the bird and the sunray falling in her room.

Switching off the lights, the only light that came into her room was through the window. As she looked outside, Jennifer brought her legs near her? body to keep her head against her legs, "When will you come here, Javier?'

She waited for his arrival back, but it seems that the time waiting is too long to know. Staring at the beautiful ring in her hand, she can feel the tunnel of emotions already making her shout in anger.

'If Javier, I'm your first wife then why did you even give me this ring?' She found it ridiculous since it wasn't the era of Kings and Queens..

There weren't supposed to be concubines and the need for a second woman anymore.

It was the real world, not fantasy. Why was such a tradition followed till now? It was nothing to hide, as his wife has a marriage contract, it wasn't denied either.

But the wait was too long for her to stay in the room. Each passing hour seems to be really heavy on her mental health when she decides to just take a walk outside.

Coming out of the room, Jennifer walked down the staircase to roam in the hall, where her eyes fell on the decorations which were done. Flowers were placed everywhere for the occasion tomorrow. 'Had you married me yet?'

The heavy amount of hatred and darkness arose in her mind but somehow she managed to shed it down and walked towards the garden to find that there were also the preparations. The tent was installed there with different kinds of tables, bogues and what not being arranged...

"Good, you are here! I was going to call you so that you can see this all." A voice entered her ears and it wasn't hard to know who was there. "Mrs. Johnson, not now.."

"Why? Are you feeling depressed that Javier is getting married to someone else?" Shirley's taunt was like an arrow towards her heart. Getting no response from her side, made Shirley come by her side and stare at Jennifer's face.

Adding another comment, she said, "I told you, no matter what, Javier will marry Emily. You thought that someone could climb his bed but he'll only lie to himself, unlike you… his enemies' bride and lover.."

"Is that so? But I feel that you don't have any return as well. Aren't you a mere secretary as well?" Jennifer can't hold herself anymore. She has heard it all along but it is high time for her to answer back.

Instead of getting infuriated, Shirley remained calm as ever "Was. But now I'm the mistress of this house.. At least I was here with Shawn in his difficult times too. You only came now, girl. This marriage and all...Is beyond your limits."

At this point, Jennifer's hands converted into a fist where she did it hard to control her anger. This marriage was beyond her limits?? Should she say it aloud that she is already Javier's first wife?

That they have always registered their marriage? Jennifer had to say it in a yelling voice but held herself back. 'This won't be liked by Javier either..hah!'

She was still caring about the man who kept her in the dark and married her out of blue? What is she supposed to do if he abandons her ahead in their life?

Keeping a straight face, Jennifer answered back, "Would like you to tell me that many things are still hidden. Sometimes, the things you see aren't the truth but what you never imagined has already come true at the back."

"This is my house. I know everything, so is Shawn. There Is nothing hidden from my eyes and ears. You're mistaken about your statement.." Shirley was overconfident in her speech when she lifted her chin.

But Jennifer didn't. She needs to stop marriage at any cost, no matter to which length she has to go. 'I can't let my husband be one else's… as a wife, I can't.' her oath was fully taken.

What was left was to face Javier and demand the replies of the real thought and questions being already raised. "Let us see what lies in the future. Either this marriage comes ahead and takes place or… some undeniable circumstances are raised."

With this,? Jennifer eyed Shirley from top to bottom before she left her alone in the garden and walked back to the villa, inside her room. Meanwhile, Shirley took a look at her back, with her eyes glowing with coldness

'Let us see what plan you bewitch now, Jennifer.. Because Javier will marry Emily..'

….

At this point, Javier was present in his cabin when he called his brother over the phone, "hello? Brother?"

"Javier? What happened? Calling me at this hour?" Charles was shocked to get a call from his brother since Javier was already when they both are at work.

"I have some work to do, I need some kind of favor from your side too as it might affect both of us.." Javier said.

Hearing this, Charles's forehead lines deepened, "What kind of help do you want from my side brother?"

"Search Austin Brown's connections.. Everything from his childhood to his current age. I have my doubts about that guy... "

....

What do you guys feel? Will the engagement take place, or will Jennifer manage to do something?
