The Kidnapped Bride

The bullets ran directly into Javier's body which was fired by Lucas. 

There were a total of three bullets which the man had to take, in his stomach, shoulders, and near his waist.

The gunshots made everyone hold their breath when Jennifer immediately got up from the ground with a lot of effort.

"No!!! Javier!"

She called his name with her eyes swelling up. Walking towards him, she saw the bullet was still residing in his stomach where she had to take a few steps to approach him. 

On seeing Jennifer coming in his way to fire another bullet at Javier, Lucas's brows were converted into a frown. 

He wanted to play more but then, Austin, who was standing behind and holding Hannah, finally came closer to Lucas. 

Stepping a bit close to his body, he whispered into the man's ears, "I guess we should use this opportunity to take Jennifer out of here and leave Javier here. Without wasting any other time,.." 

Saying this, Austin stepped back when he didn't let Hannah bulge from his hands. She was crying with her heart out when she saw her best friend getting injured. 

On top of that, she wasn't even able to do anything because of this damned Austin who didn't even let her move. 

In the back of her mind, she had cursed him millions of times. Passing him her red eyes glare, she spoke, "Trust me, if anything happens to Jennifer. I will kill you myself, Austin!"

"I will not let anything happen to her. If she has to bear this amount of pain to get her safety, it is still fine.." As these words slipped off his mouth, everyone's gaze once again went to see Jennifer coming so close to Javier who was in the state of losing his consciousness. 

The bullet had made the three holes where Jennifer can't even imagine how he was ever going up to this. 

She could feel her heart in dread and immense pain, with her own sour wound. Yet, the pain of seeing him lying in such a condition gave her a mini heart attack as well. 

"Javier...love...." she called his name dearly, asking him to open his head. 

When she tenderly took his head to keep it into her laps...despite the blood trickling down her shoulders, Jennifer can't imagine how she was going to save him right now. 

What can she do now to not let him run out of his life?! 

Her brain worked in all the ways but nothing possibly came into her mind. Her wide eyes and loneliness found themselves together but no one was there to help him. 

"Ja..Javier..."

"Jennifer...promise..see me.. you'll come back for me," Javier's stammering voice made Jennifer's heart tight. 

She could feel herself skipping a beat as she grabbed his hands into hers to shake her head, "Javier...please love..don't go anywhere..you arent going.."

"W..we agh, don't know. Jennifer...t-this can be the last...time as well.." Javier's eyes shone with the light which she had never seen earlier in her life. 

When Jennifer could feel herself shattering, so was he. Their life was put at the stake when none was even coming forward to help them now. 

"I..love you Javier....I.really love.." Jennifer knew this was needed when those words slipped out of her mouth themselves with her face crumbling down with the streams of tears.

She found it hard to control her turmoil of emotions when she was at the bay of losing her everything. 

A flicker of a smile came on his lips. Being in the pain himself, he knew how was he holding up to not let his eyes fall..since he understood very well that this might be the last chance to absorb Jennifer's face in his memories for a lifetime for him. 

"I love you too, my woman..you will always be the one..I..I have..loved..first...and last." hearing this, Jennifer's guilt started to trap her even more. 

All of this happened because of her, if she hadn't hidden things from him, probably they wouldn't have even landed themselves in this situation.

Something which she wants to avoid at any cost. Her worst nightmare has turned into a reality which she can't even deny. 

Shooking her head, she immediately denied this responsibility, "I'..I'm sorry...Javier..I.m so sorry..for this..."

With the leftover courage that Javier had inside his hands, he lifted his one near arm to actually remove the drop of tear, "I forgave you for ev-everything...long be....before...after..all, you are..my w...wife...only mi..mine.." 

Her heart was grabbed with icy horror when she didn't know how to auto-control her sentiments.

She knew what was awaited for her in the near future. The future which she cants even imagine for herself, which she didn't want to accept. 

Everyone backstabbed her, the person whom she trusted, which also resulted in her own downfall, everything because of her own stupidity to believe Austin rather than on her husband... 

Jennifer kept her head on their intertwingled hand as she cried. She was letting her emotions out of her own heart. 

It was hard to hold them back when she could hear the step behind her approaching her. 

"J..Javier..." calling his name, she kept crying until Jennifer felt her other arm being tagged by someone. It wasn't unknown to her who would do so. 

Lifting her head, she saw Lucas had grabbed her other arm where he carried her light weighted body. 

She kept on yelling on the top for lungs but her hand never left that of Javier. Her tight grip on his hand, filled with blood mixed made Jennifer really emotional, "NO! I will not go anywhere!!! I will not leave Javier!"

"LEAVE ME!" 

"LEAVE ME ALL ALONE! JAVIER!!!" Jennifer only called Javier with her voice, tears pouring out her eyes. 

Jennifer's gaze never tore from Javier's body, who was lying on the ground with his lifeless body. 

She knew he had a small hope, the small string of their love that was yet to break until..they let go of each other's hand. 

"FUCKING BASTARD! I WILL NEVER GO!" Jennifer was ready to not leave Javier at all, she wasn't willing to and her grip never loosened. 

Nevertheless, Lucas mercilessly dragged her from the ground. 

However, her strength was left with nothing but just her holding his last finger. Lucas's grip to drag her was nothing as compared to her will. 

She used all her possible strength available even after the bullet but the unconsciousness had started to take a trial over her head as well. 

And....at last....the string of their being together snapped into pieces when Jennifer's hand lastly left Javier's last finger fully..... 

"JAVIER!"

"Jennifer...."
