The Kidnapped Bride

"Is this yours? I feel it is yours because it was dropped under your table.." Sierra said when she picked the same in her hand and turned around.

Staring at the man, who had hidden his face in his palm, made her only narrowed her eyes. He didn't look normal either, as if trying to hide his face on intention but it didn't worry her in any way.

"Hello? Gentleman? Is this yours?" Sierra once again repeated her question to which the man seemed to peek from the middle of his fingers.

As if looking from her small hole, he just nodded his head which gave her affirmation that this handkerchief was his. "At least keep it safe. I was walking and  it would have gotten under my legs.." 

"I...I. will take care in the nearby future for sure," Charles answered with a slow voice, almost unrecognizable.

Sierra immediately nodded her head as both of her children were already at the entrance, ready to leave. Without thinking twice, Sierra kept the handkerchief on the man's table and already walked away.

There was quiet silence in his world when Charles heard her heels ticking away from him and he sighed in relief. From the middle of his fingers, he saw her figure who left the shop along with her two children. 'Gosh. I would have been caught so easily…'

Being on the verge of getting himself exposed almost made his heart start beating in an erratic state. It made him feel as if he touched death and came back after having the sense of that.

But that wasn't enough, at least for him. Charles stood on his toes and walked out of the shop to look here and there but didn't find them at all. 'They just exited.. where did they leave!?!'

…

When Sierra brought her children out of the shop, somehow something made her wonder that someone was constantly eying her. It made a frown curve on her forehead when she tried to look around but no one did.

"But the fierce gaze.." she was confused about what to do at this point. Ignore her feelings? Noah seems to note his mother was dazed when he held her hand from down, "Mommy, are you fine?"

"Hmm?" Sierra's dazed eyes averted to see her children and subconscious nodded, "Y..Yeah. Everything is fine. Let us go back home now.." 

With this, she made him walk in the direction towards the parking but for the very last time, Sierra can't help but turn around to stare at the people behind to find them either happily walking or engaged in their own conversation.

'No one is looking at me… then why are my instincts acting up so strongly?'

Unknown to her eyes, Charles never tore his gaze from her family of three entirely; she entered the lift and left the mall, which only made him sigh.

….

In the morning, back in the Johnson Villa

Jennifer opened her eyes which were as big as the weather. At this stage of her life, she never imagined herself to be awake so late that too on the first day of her marriage.

Staring on the other side of the bed she found it totally empty. "Beds are also cold.. seems like Javier woke up early.." Unlike her, who sleeps late at night and wakes up late.

Starting at the window she found the light coming inside of the windows and the curtains flying due to the wind. "It would have been much better if.. Javier was there.." 

But he had work, she had to tame herself completely. Subconsciously, her eyes traveled to the hand hers when she was drinking a glass of water.

"A ring!?" There was a ring in the heart finger, which was considered to be the engagement finger. What was it doing!? When did this ring even slide in her finger? 

She had no idea about any ceremony taking place, it wasn't here earlier, even last night as well. 'Did Javier make me wear this ring?'This was the only possibility that roamed inside her mind right now. 

Who else will make her wear the ring out of blue, just in the night, when no one is told about her marriage, an overnight marriage with a stranger… 

Bringing her hand near her heart, she hugged it tightly as if she was trying her best to reassure it in the most authoritative way. 'How sweet of you Javier.. But it would have been easier and happier if you were here with me this morning too..'

Her demand was way too much but she held horseback for now. 

Instead of thinking deeply, she removed the blanket, Jennifers got out of the bed and made her way to the washroom to take a bath and get herself freshened up. 

Within a few minutes, she was out, fully fresh as the glow as even other faces. She was shining, more than usual which made her happier from inside. Her soul had already popped out at this moment. 

But just then, the door of her room was opened, to see her best friend standing with a bright smile over her face, "Jennifer, good morning.."

"Good morning to you too! Come come, you came at the right time, I was just going to have breakfast.."Jennifer said as she brought her best friend on the terrace where they sat for breakfast. 

"Bread? On the terrace is there any special occasion today, Jennifer?" Hannah can't help but ask when she saw that her best friend looked radiant. 

Smiling at her, Jennifer simply let her mouth be sealed and ate the fruits that were served to her, "Javier arranged this. He instructed the butler to make breakfast to rearrange me today on the terrace. Isn't that romantic?" 

"That surely is.."Hannah wasn't sure if the latter's actions. It made her stunned that a man who was getting married, is actually trying to nurse and makeup to Jennifer till now? 

But all her thoughts clashed in the middle when Hannah's eyes flew to see her best friend's left hand, "Jennifer! Are you wearing a RING?!!"
