The Kidnapped Bride

"Will you marry me… even now? If you didn't have the change of thought?" Javier asked with his unfazed voice, which made her stunned from head to toe.

What happened just now?!..

Marriage!? Did he just agree to what she said early this morning!? It was no less than any dream coming true in her eyes. 

Thud

Thud

Jennifer took a step back in shock which clearly showed that it was something unexpected. Although she did give the offer early in the morning he refused with so much intensity which made her think that he will never agree to the same.

Moreover, the intact face of his, almost made her think that it might not be suitable since he is so against it. 

Then what made him change his decision so easily!? "Do... you even know what you are saying!?"

"Asking you exactly what you offered in the morning. Are you willing anymore?''

She has no idea what happened with him, what made him change his mind to come over this decision.

Even Though she can't look at his facial expressions, under the darkness but his stiff body and heavy breathing was enough to send an induction that he isn't in his senses either., "Javier.. has something happened? Why do I feel that you aren't willing...."

"I'm alright.  Yes, something might have happened but that is for later. I need your answer on this. I have my engagement in a few days. So, are you willing to marry me now?"

He was straight in his words, not even taking a breath to let her know his question.

Subconsciously, Jennifer's hands traveled to her own dress, clutching it tightly.

The same was making her wonder, what took place?  That change of his mind is something unimaginable in her eyes.

"I..I.. believe you need rest, Javier. You will probably  regret everything.." Jennifer stepped forward to let him help to take the coat off his shoulders.

But he held her hands, not aiming her to do anything else except gaze into her eyes as if she was long-awaited, a proper answer, "Tell me.."

"What?"

"Are you willing?" Not breaking the eye contact, it almost made her lose her balance but still, she held his cloak to not tear the gaze at any cost, "Will that stop you from marrying Emily?"

He was silent for the next few minutes, making her feel the churns in the depth of her stomach. In the deep darkness, she doesn't know if he will answer back to her words or not.

"Maybe, Marriage will not happen since I will be married to you." Brutally honest was he in his answer.

Nodding her head in understanding, she moved her eyes to think twice about it, 'Now that it is happening, shouldn't I be happy to let this go?'

Unfortunately, the happiness wasn't that much which can be weighed with the mystery. 

Biting her lower lip, she held the tears of emotions in the back of her mind, not letting this time be wasted anymore.

But she knew that happiness can't be expressed in words either. At last, Jennifer lifted her chin to face Javier with her teary eyes. "Yes. I will marry you…"

As if his heart was almost on the bay of coming out of his chest he asked to confirm once again, "Are you sure?"

"Yes.." from getting a positive response from her side, all Javier did was to entangle their hands into one. 

He knew that this might not be the best way to propose to her or explaining things but it was necessary.

Otherwise, he is mostly sure that those chances of losing her are pretty high. The risk? He isn't willing to go in that lane of risking someone special.

"Then, let us go now." Holding her hands, Javier was ready to walk out of the room despite the darkness but Jennifer stopped in the middle, "What do you mean?"

Confusion was written all over her face as she didn't understand what he actually meant by this!? Where to go?  This hour when it is midnight and nothing will be open?

"It's almost night and we can't get married in the middle of the night when nothing will be open. So let it be tomorrow morning then... why not?" Jennifer said in a suggestive way but Javier wasn't willing to take this amount of risk as well.. 

His urge was kicking, just like the time. "I have made arrangements."

"For?"

"For our marriage. We will be legally getting married tonight no matter what. I have enough contacts so let us go." Without wasting a single moment, he brought  Jennifer out of the villa.

Not giving Jennifer a chance to say, she had no idea why he was getting too eager. His odd behavior also made her alerted.

Instead, his aura has changed since he appeared back at the villa. 'Just what has made him change his mind?! Something not easy…'  she isn't' someone who will give up seeing his attitude.

But instead of her stomach, the bubbles of happiness were bursting from time to time, to realize she is getting married!!!

This time, for real.

Not with rituals but at least legally…

Even no proper proposal, no fancy ring, yet the only wish to marry him was getting fulfilled. She didn't demand anything else, except to be with him, and Jennifer found her happiness in this small wish.

Making her sit on the passenger seat of the car, he closed the door of her side and sat on the driving seat to ride the car off the premises. 

Just when they departed, the lights were back in the villa and a certain man saw their car too. The two people who left the home at this hour made a lot of doubts.

Charles can clearly say that nothing was wrong in this, but his instincts made him speak something against his thoughts, "Javier.. don't disappoint either me or Jennifer anymore.. brother, not anything wrong please..."
