The Kidnapped Bride

Emily family? What are they doing here? At this point?!?

Dozens of questions arose in her mind when her eyes averted to see the excited Emily, who just exited the car and ran towards the main door of the mansion.

For the next few minutes, her mouth was entirely sealed with now thunder coming their way.

Dumbstruck from top to bottom, no one can deny that she got a big shock of her life.

Instead of exiting from the cars like others, Jennifer was seated at her place, not moving even an inch. She wasn't uttering even a single word, so it made Javier tense.

"Jennifer. Let us go out now.." his voice worked as if any kind of magic on her.

Slightly she averted her eyes to see his well-defined face.

He had kept his hand on her shoulders to calm her down and bring her out of the daze yet she was still in trouble. "Hmm.." 

Stepping out of a car, her gaze never tore from the direction in which Emily left just at the speed of lightning.

She could clearly witness the number of cars lined up in the extra city tonight. Something has surely changed...

At the same time, Charles who descend his car looked at Javier with a questionable look too. Not only him but the rest of the people were already shocked after knowing who was there.

Waking up to his brother, he moved his face to see into his eyes, "Why is Emily's family here so late?!" 

There was literally no response from Javier's side who just lowered his head but Charles was feeling the sudden wave to know the urgency of this situation. "I asked you something, Javier! Why is Dakota here!?! Answer me now!"

"Brother.. it will be better if we go inside and see what and why is this happening." the words were already said by Javier to calm his elder brother but it was too late.

Charles's eyes had already turned bloodshot when he stopped a little bit close to his brother and whispered in his ears, "I don't know what is going on.. but trust me, it will ruin your entire plan." 

With his, he stepped back and after giving Javier a glare, he moved back to his car to not go inside. He has no such wish to indulge in the same.

Especially when this was in front of his eyes, evident that everything will be nothing but messed up more and more.

Since it was always night, not many people were interested to stay but when they witnessed Jennifer's face, a deep sigh escaped everyone's lips.

Javier's gaze was too averted in her direction to see her already frozen, "Jennifer.. are you alright?"

"Why are they here Javier?" She repeated the same question to which Javier only answered back with "Let us step in first."

"Yeah. Let us go inside first, Jennifer."Hannah came beside Jennifer and while holding her shoulders, she made her take small baby steps.

Jennifer's face already lost its color. As if her soul wasn't expecting something good out of this even.

At this stage, Jennifer was already feeling low. All of the sudden, her entire world looks like it took a drastic change.. why?!

"Hmm." She followed l Javier inside to find there were waves of touches of laughter and giggles. What entered her ears were the sounds of people talking but her mind was too occupied to even focus on their conversation.

Rather, she looked at her dear best friend who seemed to understand her glance. "I don't have any idea Jen. I guess we will get to know anything once they all tell us.."

Hearing this, Jennifer simply nodded and walked close to the door and stepped through the villa to find the two families seated in the drawing-room.

There was an evident smile on everyone's face which was totally intact to her own self. But on her arrival, Shirley seemed to notice her prince too early.

"Oh, Jennifer and Javier's friends are also here! Such a great time it is, isn't it?"

"Absolutely. Mr. Dakota, what do you think, should we reveal the news to them so that they can already celebrate?" Shawn's words were directed to Mr. Dakota, who was none to than Emily's father.

Relieve a positive response from his side, Shawn shifted his attention to the squad who have made their appearance just now. "We have good news for all of you.. Our beloved Javier! Come and sit beside Emily!" 

'Sit by Emily? What the hell..' Jennifer was surely cursing in her mind yet she was not able to mutter a word. 

Instantly her eyes moved in Javier's direction, in the anticipation that he will decline.

But somehow.. her inner feeling crashed when he slightly nodded his head silently, obey without revoking.

Making his way, he sat on the couch beside Emily as if two couples were seated there.

'This.. is truly.. happening?' Some doubts started to surface in her mind when she wasn't willing to accept but no one was ready to leave her alone.

"Alright! Let us disclose this to everyone. Ellen.. Ryan especially you, you need to do preparation as well!" Shirley said in full enthusiasm but in contrast, what came in her view was how angry she looked at this point. 

As if, nothing made any sense to her at all. What was even happening right now?!

The glance wasn't missed by either of them, Jennifer or Hannah but they were too curious to say even a single thing.

"What is it, Mrs. Johnson?" Ellen asked while stepping forward, in the hope to extinguish everyone's fire to learn what has exactly happened at this point?

But the reply made all of their faces turn pale, moving their brows from their place.

"Javier and Emily's engagement is fixed! The date is decided as well! It will be on the weekend, just three days from now on!"
