Chapter 152 - Can I Come With You?
Jennifer immediately pulled her hand behind her back and didn't believe her ears at all.
Her eyes widened in shock when disbelief was written all over her face.
"You mean to say Lucas agreed to all of your demands?" She asked to confirm what she heard just now, once again.
"Not all. This is just the starting one." He gave a short reply but it didn't seem to satisfy at all.
Since he started telling about the event, why not just give her a briefer detail?
At last, Javier took a deep breath, "It was the first demand to give back my uncle.. who is in your state for so long, behind the bars. Finally, he is handing him over to us tomorrow."
Jennifer gulped the rest of the saliva in her mouth with fear consoling her.
It wasn't easy to imagine, neither was she ready to believe that someone, like Lucas, will give up on something for a mere girl like her!?
"Are you sure he isn't playing any trick with you guys? I mean you must know that he is a player and cheater. Hr won't do anything without... thinking about pros and cons." Jennifer tried to alert him, giving him an opportunity to think twice.
Yet it is what made Javier laugh.
A scoff left his lips, "You know we are mafia people? Do you think I haven't considered possible circumstances already?"
Soon, Jennifer took a deep breath, clutching her heart. Somehow, she was successful in claiming down her ranging heartbeat and nerves which were popping out.
Lowering her head she replied, "I..I.. don't mean that... It was simply to tell you that Lucas isn't any simple guy."
"Neither are we." If Lucas was a criminal then they all are in the same field.
The information disturbed her mind a lot. It left a deep impact on her mind to think twice about the entire situation in a grave manner.
Hiding her eyes, which turned cold, she added in an aloof manner, "So, what are the future plans that you are planning now?"
"We have decided to bring back my uncle for now. Since Lucas has agreed so why not take the opportunity and use it in our favor. As these types of things don't come daily in our life." Jennifer slightly nodded her head yet her heart and sentiments were in total turmoil.
What she underwent was the treaty of thought which surfaced on her mind. 'Will they send me so easily? But Javier told me that he will not let me go from his place at such an easy cost to..' she remembered his words clearly.
It was a promise he made but for how long can he keep it?
Will he be able to extend it for the maximum period, going to which length?
Tons of questions lead her head yet it was not the right time to discuss anything similar.
"You need not worry about the same. You're not the one who is going with us. Moreover, we aren't sending you anywhere else either. Tomorrow, you will have to stay inside the mansion itself with others.."
He sounded too serious in his words. Jennifer took note of the comment but wasn't sure how she accepted it so easily.
"But what if I wish to come along with you guys? Lucas will never harm me too and also, I can stay inside the car itself!"
She asked with a pleading voice, her bubbly eyes which had the strength to meet Javier's heart.
But at the same time, Javier turned distant towards her plea since he knew the risk he would be taking tomorrow.
"No! Not at all! We don't know if Lucas will use this as the distraction or not to have you..but no, you are going anywhere, rather stay under tight security.." His words were very much like a command which Jennifer didn't feel like obeying at all.
"Please Javier. Maybe I can come to your use in any way if you bring me there?" No, he was automatically not allowing her, as if he was the king of somewhere.
Javier immediately showed a negative sign through his hands, "Jennifer you arent understandings what I'm trying to imply. There are high chances that guns will be fired at that place if Lucas plays any trick."
"So what? We escaped the last time too, on the island!" She corrected him and made him remember the real adventurer.
She too had no idea how to run away but he eventually made it possible and they landed here, in his state.
At the same time, her mind evolved to the time when she held a gun in her hand, 'As if I have no experience in dealings with guns? Huh! I am more experienced than you!'
A sarcastic sigh escaped her mind but she shut her mouth, not letting the words appear on her lips.
Since she was so adamant about going, Javier had no other reason but to get up from his current position.
He walked near the bed and laid while switching it off and acting to sleep. Anyways, Jennifer didn't leave him too easily.
"Javier! See, maybe you think I'm weak but I'm not." With this, she walked closer and closer to him and bent her own knees to sit beside his bed.
On the floor, he looked at her face where his eyes were entirely closed, not even peeking at her.
"Please? At least give it a thought?" Jennifer suggested but in return, she got a rejection, "Absolute no! Jennifer understands my point of view too. Here, I'm trying to keep you safe yet you wish to come in danger? In the end, my entire efforts will go in vain!"
Hearing his separate voice, Jennifer's lips were totally sealed. She didn't say anything further and simply let him drift back to sleep.
Despite knowing that he is simply acting to sleep, to makes her stop pestering him about this situation.
Coming on the other side of the bed, she stared at the window with her glittering eyes. 'As if you can stop me from coming with you?'
