The Kidnapped Bride

Hearing the statement, Charles made a sarcastic face. It was evident that he wasn't pleased to learn about whatsoever he said in his last comment. "I don't have any peculiarity to know about what you guys have been doing in your house! Gosh… you are so bad."

It was now Javier's turn to laugh. Chuckle passed through his lips but at the same moment, it only lasted for a few more minutes until both of them were back to being silent.

The temperature was dropping in the air, they could already feel their hands getting colder with passing time.

"So.." Charles broke her since once again and looked at his brother with utmost seriousness related in his eyes, "What are your other plans? You are aware that your father will not let you be together with her at any cost!" 

Charles was absolutely correct at this point. Javier lowered his face because of the realization that was present on his face.

No one can change the fact that Jennifer is from another state which is their enemy. Moreover, she was getting married to the enemy. 

If not him, acting as the kidnapper of hers then she could have been married to Lucas until now..

"Javier... consider everything. You can't act impulsively in terms of love. Analyze each and every step." The wise words sounded too good to his ears. The smirk grew on Javier's lips when he replied back, "Sometimes, brother.. don't you feel that things are too much?" 

A frown curved and brows narrowed slightly on Charles forehead. Tilting his head on the right, he asked with a lot of confusion, "What do you mean by that?" 

"With the seriousness, you take each step and decision, do they even make you happy? Or are you simply doing them because that is your responsibility as the heir of Johnsons?" 

Javier's words were very much straight which made Charles sunned. He didn't expect such a huge and deep-meaning question to be driven and put forward by Javier. For the next few minutes, he was totally speechless.

Seeing that his brother wasn't in his senses anymore, Javier touched his shoulders and shook him a little bit. "Brother, are you alright?" 

"Y...Yeah… you are right. I have to take all the responsibilities on my shoulder as my mother wanted. After all, being the eldest does carry many disadvantages as well. Hahahaa" the laughs after the answer were absolutely fake and Javier sensed it too.

But he didn't say anything to hurt his feelings. "If that is truth… brother, I wish to live my own life without any rules. Mother lived her life with so many restrictions put forward by everyone and rules and you are aware of the disaster she faced."

"Mother was in a different situation and you are entirely different from that.. Don't compare yourself with her." As the protective son, Charles reminded him to not compare their situation together.

Javier lifted his hand to say he was sorry but not much. Learned from his past and the lost ones, he saw that whatever things they thought will never occur but finally the circumstances led in the same way.

Instead, what they never thought, suddenly pops out and comes and stand in their life 

Because of the same reason, he isn't willing to think of far apart. Thinking about the Immediate future is still alright but far away? He won't go for too long a run.

"Alright. Don't tell me your future plans but at least make sure that the girl doesn't run away so easily. Also, you have a fiance to take care of. Be careful, both the ladies will.." 

"They already faced each other. Can you expect Emily to show up suddenly early in the morning?" Charles was shocked either, "The ghost lady at our home must have already informed Emily. How can she see peace in our lives for once."

Javier agreed to his statement. His hands curled into fists when he replied, "She had the pleasure while seeing us in danger. If power comes into my hand I just make her beg for her life.. the same w-" 

"Enough." Javier was interrupted by Charles. It was not new to know that Charles got more emotional while recalling the past and whatsoever they all underwent.

At this time, Javier understood and didn't prey much on the words. Instead, he let things change into a more current topic, "Brother, just to make sure that our demands are fulfilled. I'm trying to investigate why Smith was planning to marry Jennifer out of nowhere." 

"You should. That playboy was thinking of settling so easily? Doesn't make any sense to me at all." Javier totally agreed.

The man has an addiction to have sex with different ladies and girls. He is willing to stick to one? No one can believe it at all.

"Now that we have asked them for the ruby, probably there will be uproar. Asks our soldiers to be ready if by chance, any attack without any information. Jennifer will not run away that is my responsibility but, handle the front line too.."

Javier put forward the high alert and he was revived from the other side. His father asked for something really valuable to them.

Not a single party was willing to give up, but the quest was simple. Give on ruby and his uncle or.. simply on Jennifer.

'If they give in their ruby for Jennifer, is there something wrong with them?' This was another possibility with the Smiths. The end can only determine what is cooking in Smith's mind.

Both the brothers were once again talking about some business field, shifting the topic entirely from Smiths. As Javier got up to date with the information about his family business, he too shared some of his details of the company that he set up. "Brother, keeping everything aside, I have something to ask you.."

"Hmm? Go ahead." 

"Well.. how is your girlfriend... Sierra?"
