The Kidnapped Bride

Memorable? 

All the guests were coming forward to witness what she has to say ahead when Shirley continued, "Our dear children are deeply in love since childhood. As childhood lovers, we always admired them so why not hear some admiration words by them? In their own words?"

"That is a brilliant idea Surely! We would love to hear that." Mrs. Dakota, Emily's mother also supported the same which also got the agreement of others as well.

Yet the same announcement drained the color of Javier's face which was more frosty. No one can deny that his aura took a drastic change with the comment, showing that he has no interest in the same. 

But when Emily's eyes caught the sight of his displeasure, she spoke, "Why are you acting too distant Javier? This is a no-" 

"Just shut your fucking mouth! No one asked you anything." Javier's harsh words were whispered in her ears but this almost made Emily lose her balance. If not for his support by his arm, she was sure that until now she would have already landed herself in the embarrassing position.

At the same time, Jennifer took the account of his hard jaw, where he had held his hand tightly into a fist, when he glanced at her with much hatred. "Tsk tsk. How will he speak for her when there is no love in between them?"

"That will his thing to think. But I have already lost my appetite to watch this shit anymore!" Hannah said when she made a foul face and added in her speech," Jennifer why don't we return back to your room now? "

In return, she received a shook from her side, as Jennifer's eyes were glowing with unspeakable sparkingly, indicating how much she was loving to witness the circumstances, he was put into, "The real game has just begun and you are asking me to leave? That isn't fair.." 

"Can you please stop talking about this in metaphor means? I don't understand it all.." Hannah answered but she found that Jennifer was a bit beating around the bush and not coming straight to the point, but Jennifer didn't smile either on her reply herself. 

While Austin was staring at the lady who was in the daze, in who knows which world but her eyes never took off from Javier. "Gosh.. who can say that she is already his wife?" He found the entire situation to be a mess, a mere joke of engagement being played out in front of him.

"Jennifer.. let us go somewhere else? We don't have to see this at all..." because I don't want you to get hurt anymore.. but he in the second half stays in his throat rather than bubbling it out.

But Jennifer showed clear intent, that she wishes to stand where she is currently, "I want to hear what Javier has to say for this bimbo."

She meant what she just said. Emily was handed out a mic when she looked at Javier as a slight blush started to creep on her cheeks, "I was young...very young.. when Javier and I ended up meeting in our.. father's business party and that was the first time I saw him.." 

"Oh, to be correct, he wasn't a man but a young teen. Not getting involved with much of the people and being himself was what.. attracted me. The cute yet stoic looks of his already make me crush on him so hard!" Loads of bubbles started, where some others giggled and teased Emily a bit.

In a similar manner, Emily reacts to their teases while lowering her head in a shy manner, making others absolutely believe that the lady is too much in love with this man. 

When her feuds nudged her to confuse, did Emily started saying with her timid voice, yet alluring, "I'm grateful that I'm getting the chance to marry my first love. Javier.." turning her face in his direction to stare into his intoxicating mixed eyes, "I love you a lot!"

"Ohhhhhh! Ms. Dakota expressed her love in front of everyone!" One of the guests said aloud while the others also hooted.

But the same wasn't satisfying to Jennifer as her grip on her glass tightened. Her eyes are already bloodshot, ready to attack her any moment. 'If I had the power, I would have ruptured your that heart and head away from your body till now...' 

However she doesn't have the same power and in the end, can only witness the scene in front of her. As Emily finished speaking, the mic was handed to Javier.

His expressionless face and was already uncontrollable, making her wonder if he will even say anything? She held a lot of patience, but then, she saw him taking the mic.

Staring at the microphone in his hand, Javier'seyes subconsciously shifted from his hand to the figure who was standing nearby the bar, where he found his glance almost lingering at her face from most of the time. The eye look was intense, where he found her mocking through her smile.

Subconsciously he brought the mic near his mouth when he started speaking, "I have loved… only one person. In this lifetime, I'm always in love with one person and no one can help me to fall out of it ever in this lifetime. Circumstances lead us to different paths but in the end, I held the hope that we will be there and here we are.. aren't we?"

As if his words held a deeper meaning, Jennifer's eyes were narrowed slightly. All she sensed was if, his word were meant for her… or was she overthinking in his context as well?

When they both were in indulged with each other's stare, Shirley and Shawn stopped in the talks in the middle air "Alright very well said! Both the children are so much in love so why not get them engaged."

Immediately, Shirley brought the ring from her side while Mrs. Dakota brought another box, which held the ring for Javier too. As both the ladies stood on either side, they passed each other a smile. Keeping her hand on his shoulders, Shirley came near to whisper into his ears with an alarming tone, "Stop it.. otherwise, you will not get what so you want.."

These words were enough to bring him out of the daze and break the glance too. Nevertheless, his restless heart was already making him go through thousand of emotions.

Shirley didn't react much to his expressionless face either, rather passed the smile when she said, "Sure! First, Javier will put the ring!
