The Kidnapped Bride

"Y-you actually were able to extract the information about Austin brown?" Javier felt this was almost unbelievable.

It was just a few days, probably the night before yesterday and he got his hands already over the piece of information which was much needed. How can his brother have his contacts so fast?!

Charles didn't reply yet stared at the envelope, busy reading the content that is present in the letter. With time, the lines of Javier's forehead got deep, which made Charles clear his throat.

"I know this might be complicated but this is what we have. That man has actually kept his backgrounder much hidden. Although he is from abroad, a good setup business there but his family background… isn't even present anywhere."

"But that isn't possible… as if this man had landed on the Earth, exactly when he turned nineteen. Neither are his family members disclosed except his uncle." Javier was finding it funny but at the same time, this confirmed that Austin is topmost doubt.

The man holds a suspicious aura around his mind and this proves him right too. He has much to hide, which he has succeeded very well since there wasn't even a single to make him happy.

"He is clever."

Javier said when he read the envelope entirely and closed it. Letting the letter slide back in the envelope, he lifted his eyes to stare at his brother, "He knew that we will try to see and know about his background since we are entering into a  deal with him. For this, he already owned everything beforehand."

Charles seemingly nodded his head in understanding. This wasn't a lie today that Austin was already on their radar to search. Tugging his hands into the pocket,  Charles spoke further, "You wanted this, I have."

"I will continue to help you if you need and will not interfere with your things but Javier…" with time, his tone evidently changed from a serious to that of neutral.

Without tearing his gaze away from Javier's face, he said in the most sympathetic voice, "I don't have any idea what you are going through. This is known to me that you won't reveal too. But… Jennifer isn't any good girl, she does love you."

"Brother Cha-" Javier tried to open his mouth but Charles's hand stopped him when he signaled to let him finish first.

"I'm asking you for anything but to handle her. Don't let her go from your hands, not similar to how my story ended with Sierra." The conversations started to be directed in another direction and Javier has already measured the same. 

Shaking his head, Javier gave him an answer but at the same time, his mind was in conflict. Should he just go with the flow and tell? About what information he has about Sierra?

Or just keep it to himself to avoid hurting his brother?

Javier was able to make up his mind to regain courage and turn things according to the circumstances. But he knew that some or other time, his brother might also hear regarding the news too.

Since his conversations are too good on the same page, Javier decided to finally burst the news to his dear brother by his own mouth.

While Javier's mind was already down, in a major conflict, Charles just patted Javier's shoulders and was ready to leave when Javier's voice from behind almost made him thunderstruck from head to toe, "Brother! I have something to tell you."

Turning around, he stared at Javier's face and nodded his head, allowing him to say whatever he wished. Taking a deep breath, Javier finally opened his mouth to say, "Sierra has applied for the work in my company."

The comment froze the faint smile on Charles's face when his eyes widened at the realization, "Y-You mean to.. say that.. she wants a job!?"

"Yes, she does. And I heard she has been sending her resume to many companies out there." Javier controlled his heart at this point when he found the hints of his brother's aura turning into major heartbreak. Charles was staring at him from head to toe to learn if he was bluffing or telling the real truth!?

Unfortunately, Charles found nothing suspicious about him when he asked further, "Does she know that that company belongs to you?"

Javier shook his head, "Not until now since you know, this company isn't under Johnsons.."

"Which position is she applying for?" From Charles's tone, Javier can easily predict that this was something amusing for him as well.

It wasn't easily digested and he can already sense that since Charles and Sierra's relationship ended on a sour note, her arrival will stir many cold emotions and unhappy memories.

Or to be brief, it never ended but apparently commuting gap consumed the entire relationship which made the two of them walk on different parts.

While she settled abroad, his brother never married a single person. Why? Only both the parties involved are aware of the same, and solely them since it was never brought out.

"She is either asking to be a personal assistant or accounting department head. Not a bad option though, consider in her experience in this prf-"

"You are talking about Sierra, Javier. My ex-girlfriend Sierra." Javier commented back which ultimately made Javier shut his mouth on the cold drop in the temperature around his brother.

He was passing constant deadly glares in his direction and communicated through eyes itself when both the brothers were specifically on different pages regarding this topic, with their mind working in the two different and opposite direction to begin with.

While she was a good friend of one, others had thought of spending the entire lifetime with her. Unfortunately, that day never came across.

The eye contact was fierce as no one was ready to break but in the end, Javier sighed when he answered his brother, "She isn't your ex-girlfriend anymore. A mother of t-"

"I know yet I say NO!"
