The Kidnapped Bride

The day passed very soon and the clock showed the time, twelve in the midnight. 

Jennifer was still sitting on the nearby couch, waiting for Javier to appear. She knew that sometimes he does get late but this? It was unusual.

Although for the past few days, he has been coming back around this time due to his work but today, it was supposed to be their first night which they will be spending as husband and wife. The entire day, he was absent and it was night 'Where are you, Javier?' 

Her head was on the verge of bursting from the kind of turmoil she was going through. Neither did she eat or drink. All she knows is to see and question Javier at this point and know the answers to the misunderstanding and clear it as much as possible. 

But it was wasting, delayed, by each second, turning to minutes and minutes into hours, making her heart squeeze with plague all the time. 

Staring at the clock, a tired sigh escaped her lips when she realized what he said last night. He told her that he will be back very soon, but there is no presence of his in her room… 

"Where have you ever gone, to not even give me any call?" There's a landline installed here, yet there was no call on it as well. Neither did the Butler inform her about anything. 

Massing her temple, Jennifer was trying to analyze the current situation but she had no idea how to overcome these depressing feelings. 

A frown was curved on her forehead since she recalled what was there the next day. The engagement day was here waiting for disturbance. But how?! What can she do all alone if Javier is willing to go and engage himself? 

"I need to talk with him no matter what.." her urge grew stronger and stronger when she waited for the next one hour. 

One hour passed as well, ticking to two but still, there was no sign of his presence at all. It only made her suspicious about where he was? Why is he not coming back to see her? Or at least sleep? 'Is he still at his company? But what is this time to even work there?' 

As her husband, is he not acting so irresponsibly now? She was entirely confused by his actions. But her patience had limits, indicating when she was undergoing messy emotions. 

Instead of sitting in her room, Jennnifer went out at least to know if Javier was back or was downstairs? Coming in the hall, she found it all empty. The dining hall and living space were all empty filled with darkness covering it too. Without even knowing, she knew that everyone was sleeping in their bed except her...

'All of them must be excited for tomorrow but where is this guy?! Why is he not showing up back at his own house?!' Jennifer knew that it was a big-time for her to make up her mind.

"You love the wrong guy Jennifer. You are the wrong person here...." guilt was creeping the hell out of her. Subconsciously, her hand moved forward towards her heart to clutch it with all the tightness to bear the pain that came along with his heartbreak.

She can sense her own soul already feeling nervous about his engagement tomorrow. If she doesn't talk with him tonight, it will be too late.

"Javier...please come back.." her face crumbled down when she realized that she was crying. It was getting out of her hands to feel anything at this point.

Turning around, she climbed the stairs once again and walked in the direction of her own room, to let herself be at ease and cry. But she got a bigger shock.

Some kind of noises only added to her worry when she tapped her track and her gaze averted to one room's door, 'These kinds of noises?'

There was a lady and she was sure that something was going on inside. But the purpose was the fact that this room belongs to… Emily..

"Agh! Yes! Yes! More.. Javier.. More.." the constant yelling from inside were making her thunder shocked from head to toe.

'Why the hell is Emily taking Javier's name while having sex? Or is this masturbation? Does that mean.. Javier is inside?'  At this possibility, Jennifer took a few steps back to hold the railings.

Her eyes widened in shock which none can deny the horror that was written on her face. She found it totally wild that something like this is going on inside..

"So.. Javier is inside? Not coming to me but having an intimate moment with Emily.. just before his engagement?" What an option she found. Without caring about anything else, she rushed back to her room with the tears started to flicker out of her eyes. Her nose started to swell up with the time, as she tried hard to not let her innerself come out anytime soon.

Her uneven breathing was already out of breathing. She was not only scared but her fears actually came true. She was once again cheated.. by someone whom she loved so dearly...

"But he married me…" she wanted to say this aloud to everyone. Go in front of all of them and say this aloud so that they can confirm and call this engagement off...

Keeping her hand on the couch, only tears came out of her eyes which she knew were impossible to hold.

It was becoming difficult to even control any part of hers. "Javier.. I hate you.. I really hate you! I hate that… you married me.."

Only if she applied the rule, that sometimes what we see isn't the entire truth and the truth is far from reality.

Unfortunately, her one misunderstanding might make her entire night worse in Javier's absence.
