The Kidnapped Bride

"Sir... they have sent a video.." Lucas lost his calm. Straightaway he walked to Vlas and snatched the tab from his hands. 

Opening the video, his eyes never tore from the black background. His heart was throbbing at the next level but at the same time, he had no other option but to wait... 

The video started playing when the hard, and deep intoxicated voice was heard, "Mr. Lucas Smith, how have you been all these years?" 

"I know, we never met. Since we have kept a close watch over each other for years, we both are aware of each other's information very well. I guess it won't be very hard for you to know who am I. If I'm right?" 

Lucas's eyes twisted in annoyance but still, he had to stay calm and hold his grudge to listen to what they had to say, "You Must be aware till now, that I have kidnapped your bride. She is with me and I'm also aware of the killers that you sent to my island...

But this wasn't enough to make me stop. At the end of the day, what matters is the exchange between us. I have a few terms and conditions to say, hopefully, you will agree to all of them so that we can talk about Jennifer's return...if possible.." 

The video was entirely blank. All that they heard was a voice from the other side and nothing else. Moreover, he didn't even state demand as he mentioned. The video stopped in the middle before the voice could have told them about the terms and their demands. 

"Sir..the-'' Vlas's sentence was left in the middle when his eyes were wide open, to see Lucas throwing his tab, straight to the wall which made the device break into pieces. 

All its parts were pretty much broken, very badly, and both of them can see their faces in the broken parts. But there was deep fury on Lucas' face. His anger was reaching his mind with time. 

"Fuck you Javier Johnsons! How the fuck you dared to mess with me?!?! You bastard!" He scoffed and because of his anger, his breathing becomes uneven.

At the same time, Olivia entered the room to witness such a messy situation of the whole room and was surprised. 

"What happened here?" a fresh frown settled on her face, but what came in her view was Lucas's face which was full of anger and frustration. 'What has made him so angry all of sudden?' 

But then, her eyes fell on Vlas and her mind automatically understood that it must be related to his fake Fiance already... 'In the early morning, I will have to make him calm despite the fact that whoever made him angry is enjoying somewhere else.' She controlled her urge to roll her eyes and walked towards both of them. 

"Lucas, what happened to you? This tab.. why is this even on the floor?" 

But in return, she got no reply from either side. This somewhat made her worried and at the same time, her mind diverted to the last call she received from her people. "Vlas.." 

Olivia tried to see Vlas, with her straight eyes, she asked, "Tell me, what has happened?" 

"Ms...Olivia, Ms. Taylor is in Johnson's land and they have sent us a video. If we wish to have her back, sir will have to make a call himself because...they have some terms and conditions which need to be fulfilled by sir first. After that, they will simply decide if they are ready to give Ms. Taylor back to us or not." 

He told the truth and Olvia's eyes glared with sly cleverness. Her eyes narrowed slightly when those words were heard by her. It added sadness and fury for Lucas, but somewhat she was glad to hear that Johnsons aren't giving Jennifer back, so easily. 

Hearing the truth, Olivia turned to Lucas and tried to hold his face with her tender hands but he flinched away, "Lucas!" 

"SHUT UP OLIVIA!!" he yelled at her which made her take a step back in defense. 'If I get afraid, I will fail to get information out of him..' she doesn't wish for something like that. 

Taking a deep breath, Olivia nodded her head. She maintained a certain distance as per his command and then said, "Listen to me, getting your be is more prominent than the enmity between two states. Once you marry her, you will be more powerful as compared to them, so you will not need to worry. Moreover, lowering you're he-" 

Lucas passed a deadly glare in her direction and she changed her way of addressing the problem once again, "I..Mean why not give them a call to have a deep and fruitful conversation? At the end of the day, lowering your self-esteem will finally make you marry her and have the power we both wish to have!" 

Her eyes glittered with the glint of happiness when she spoke about their plan. Lucas noted her eagerness too, but at the same time, it was too hard to call them. "This will show them that I'm vulnerable to their request." 

"Oh, c'mon. You aren't. How can you forget that you are talking for your bride.." Olivia stepped closer and whispered in Lucas's ears, "Also, for the entire world, you are madly in love with her. How can this low your self-importance? Hmm?"

Lucas' eyes shined when he gave her a thought. Meanwhile, Vlas simply watched how swiftly Olivia mage Lucas. Just as with the floor, she made him understand the simple situation and also, made him lower his guards. 

How appreciable! 

'But wait, they don't have any relationship except being assistant and boss. Still, does she has that much control over his emotions, more than his own family? Strange..'
