The Kidnapped Bride

His intimidating voice made her feel heaviness down in the air. Jennifer's grip around her glass tightened the moment those words left his mouth. 

"W..Which talk are you referring to, Javier?" 

"Something did happen behind your back. We need to talk about it once, Jennifer so that we can avoid any kind of similar situation further. You should know about my situation, and I should know what is going inside your mind." 

Javier had a very simple motive. He wishes to know why she took the step of taking the risk and calling her best friend? He was giving her everything that one should provide, treating her well, and making her visit some of the places from time to time to avoid her boredness.

Still, she went behind his back and he can't tolerate if his plans are tempered anymore. 

He already put a high risk on his men and himself by calling the doctor on his island, and he doesn't know how long they will be able to live here until someone gets the hint of their locations. 

"I..is it necessary?" Jennifer asked with a lot of uncertainties written on her face.

Javier kept his straight face and put his hands around either side of the couch, "It is very important as we have to live in this state for a long time, Jennifer."

Jennifer looked at the face which showed no expressions. While she was getting anxious with the passing time, yet there was no way that this conversation got delayed anymore. Taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes and nodded her head. 

'If we have to stay together, and to avoid fights between us, I guess this should be fine..' all ears were on his talk when he started. 

"The reason I kidnapped you..is because of Lucas. You might have already guessed that there are more reasons added to it and... I can't just put them forward so easily in front of you for now. I will reveal them but at the right time." 

"When will be the right time according to you then?!?" the main point was he always says at the right time but when will it come? She can't complain much but it was getting on her nerves to know more. 

Javier didn't answer back for a few seconds, but later on opened his mouth, "Soon. I'm no God, and I can't make empty promises. I will just reveal them when the time comes and you will be able to understand more." All Jennifer did was shake her head in understanding.

He continued, "Your call last night resulted in damage. There were high chances that it might have been traced already. I have to say that Lucas has his eyes everywhere and is trying to get to our location. If the call is traced by Lucas, he must be on his way here already." 

"If he knows about it, then we won't be sitting here anymore Javier." she cut him off with her firm voice, "He is someone who will strike their enemy with the slightest clue. If he isn't here till now, I'm Pretty much sure that he has no idea about the call for now."

Javier lifted his eyes to look at her confident self and a smirk formed on his lips, 'You look confident." Jennifer rolled her eyes to answer back, "I was his fiance. How will I not know how he is? I was getting married, so knowing his nature is too easy for someone like me." 

"Are!" he said, which made Jennifer frown. What are they? She can't understand it and when Javier noticed that it didn't enter her brain, he made it briefer, "You are still his fiance."

The harsh reality on her face was here. How can she forget that she was still that man's bride? But soon, she will break this off and run away on her own, if only the Johnson will let her live first. 

Jennifer changed the entire conversation with her words, "Alright. I'm sorry that I called without knowing the consequences. I was..in the state of mind to get out of here no matter what because..." 

"...because you think that we will hand you over to him so easily when he finishes the task we want? Hmm?" he completed her sentence and Jennifer's lack of response made it obvious that whatever he said was absolutely what is running in her dear mind of all the days. 

Waves of laughter were heard with his deep voice. He laughed too hard which was utter nonsense to her. She can't understand what was there to laugh so much? It's like he is making fun of her because of whatever she thought earlier?

"Javier, I never cracked a joke," Jennifer said in a very serious and intense voice but Javier didn't seem to stop laughing. But when Jenifer was consecutively passing him glasses filled with aloofness and daggers, he somehow controlled his laughter but chuckles kept on passing through his mouth. 

"Alright. This is no joke. But Jennifer, you think that I will give out so easily?" Won't they? Jenifer thought in her mind but she can't understand the theory and way of pressing. 

"Jennifer... I already heard your talk with your mother on your wedding day. You never wished to marry that bastard and I'm already aware of it."

For few minutes, her entire body froze due to the confession. It looked like a bucket full of ice was pore on her body which made her solid as a rock. Eyes were wide in anger, she can't react and know whether to cry or laugh? 

His deep glazing eyes were looking through her soul, she couldn't hide her thoughts for him at all. "W..What else?" figuring it out that it wasn't the end. 

A smirk landed on his lips, when he answered back,"Moreover you were planning to escape even without me. Isn't it already? The bags you were packing before I entered and the way you called someone while sitting on the dressing table. Jennifer, you are no less than any unique mystery, I must say this."
