The Kidnapped Bride

It was already night when Shawn and Shirley got free after the engagement and all the guests had already left. Resting on the nearby couch, they sighed when Shirley said, "You have no idea how happy I'm today."

"Same goes for me. I was told that this child of mine will create a blunder tonight but hopefully, everything went smoothly…" Shawn was grateful for this already.

Knowing Javier's temperament, it won't surprise him either to know if Javier spoke something unnecessary. 

"You are correct. For once..I thought that Jennifer will do something and utter something wrong but thank god, Charles came in between otherwise, I don't know what that girl might have said against us…" recalling at that moment, still gave her goosebumps. 

She doesn't know why but for the moment, Jennifer's eyes and body language, it seemed that she had something really important to tell them. Her gut feelings already sent her alertness to alert her that Jennifer held something against them and if that came out tonight, her reputation would have been ruined too.. 

"You don't have to worry about that. Javier will handle that little girl, in the end, he needs what I'm willing to offer. Taking a step back at this point isn't an option for him anymore.." With this, Shawn took the new glass of scotch and tasted it. 

But his words brought a sly smirk over her lips as her eyes shone in glimmer, "My husband you have done a great job by brainwashing Javier. Mr. and Mrs. Dakota were very happy! Now, all we want to do is to kick that lady out of this house."

At the thought of facing Jenifer daily, her stomach churns and makes her feel slight irritation. Anxiousness crawled under her skin at this mere possibility but there was a pin of her level as well. 

Yet, her energy boasted, so did her happiness when both Javier and Emily slid the ring in each other's hand, which instantly made a triumphant smile appear on her face. 

"Soon.. that day will be soon when.. Lucas will agree to everything and then, we can easily send the girl back. I know she will not utter, otherwise death is waiting for her…" Shawn's eyes were dark as any of that darkest nights in the winter night were mist-covered.

Just when they were talking with each other in the hall, in the expectation that everyone has retarded to their room, but it was absolutely wrong.

Amaira, who stood behind one of the walls, already overheard her parent's words. Switching recorder off, her eyes lightened at the voice vote which she just made, "So this is how you are blackmailing brother into marriage…" 

Although the phrase didn't give her any clue, neither did it bring her any warning. Already knowing Emily is her brother's fiance, anger arises from time to time. 

Without thinking anymore, she sent this to another brother, as the evidence to collect. Not only that, she wrote a message afterward too. 

AMAIRA- We need to find it out soon before… Brother Javier's happiness is buried by these two oldies of his house. 

After sending it to her brother, she knew that both of them at least have the chance of knowing why their brother is so interested to get married to that bimbo girl, who is a spoiled brat, unlike Jennifer, whose love is pure so is her mind. Someone, whom he also loves and should live forever with.

As she sighed in satisfaction, Amaira turned around and was ready to leave when her head struck against something so hard, "Ouch!..sh..it's hurt!" 

Immediately, she lifted her eyes which fell on a well-built man, who stood like a tower, it was no one else but Ryan!

His eyes were confused, to find her here, behind the walls? "What are you doing here? Don't you have to go to sleep?"

Amaira's heart clutched the phone near her heart, "I..I will be going. Just passed in by.. And I got a call.. so yeah.."

"Is that so?" Seeing her eyes, he wasn't convinced by her words even a bit. His raised eyebrows, in doubt but Amaira vigorously nodded her head, "I guess we don't shouldn't talk with each other from now. Good night…"

By saying this, Amaira walked and passed by his side. Neither did Ryan stop her but only stared at her left-back. Though he knew it was more than that. 

At the speed in which she left already raised his eyebrows. He can't believe that she was actually telling him to not talk with her?! 

'You have heard something.. What is Amaira?'

…

In the midnight

The door of the room was wide open when Javier saw nothing but darkness inside. The coldness  slightly hit his face when he noted that the glass door leading to the terrace was also open 'How can she be so careless to leave it open?'

Shaking his head, Javier first of all, closed it and didn't let the coldness come inside anymore. Switching the heater of the entire room, he sighed.

With this, his eyes traveled to see the sky from the door,  for a few minutes, recalling the past.. 

'Just two nights before I got married and today, I got engaged.. Ain't that funny?' he knew that it was. 

He hasn't changed his clothes, neither did he try to eat. As his appetite was already out of his stomach leaving no space for anything. The sole reason to come directly here was the message that his brother conveyed.

Although, in the end, he was surely going to show up here, after all, knowing what he did, it wasn't a shock if she is disturbed either.

But then, one husky voice from behind was enough for him to feel that his soul was sold to the Devil.

"So Mr. Javier Johnson is already in his room… back to remembering that he has a wife and had a marriage two days ago? Hmm?"
