The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 313 - Kidnap Her!

She acted in her defense, which he didn't find weird as well.

Her guilds were high and this wasn't wrong either at her part. Walking near her, he stood close to the bench to bend down and sit on his toes. "Why are you drinking at this hour?"

"Y-"

"Don't worry, I will not tell anyone. You can express yourself…" he comforted her, to find her body adjusting, "I will not even judge you...you can be yourself with me." he added.

Seeing the man in front of her being so soft towards, almost made her heart skip a beat. Biting lower lip, she held the bottle in her hand with a tight grip near it, "I..I'm sad.."

"I know, I asked you the reason for it." He told her, to which she lifted her brown eyes, "Because… no one understands me or asks what I want in my life…"

"Everyone is mean and selfish! No one cares about me! Even a bit.. Sobs…" he could sense the tears forming in her eyes to the extent where she was trying to control her inner feelings.

Yet the turmoil which surfaced made him alarmed.

Instead of answering back, he removed his leather jacket from his shoulders to make her wear it.

It was warm, where she raised her eyebrows to look at the man who was presenting her with the warmness, "I don't need your comfort man…"

"You might not need that but I can provide the same." seeing the stubborn man that she came across, Jennifer could feel that he won't even listen to what she will say. Rather, he will simply impose whatever he wants to do, 'Fair enough..at least it is keeping me warm…'

Wrapping her hand around the coat he placed, Jennifer's eyes lowered again to stare at her bottle itself, "T-thank you for this..b...but you can...go now…"

"I did ask you something. You should tell me instead of rejection." Javier had no intent to be someone who just runs away when she needs him.

Moreover, her entire swollen face was already giving his heart a state of uneasiness. 'A cheerful girl like her..will actually try to take the help of alcohol to relax herself?'

He found this to be extra strange, not because he never saw her with any alcoholic thing but because, what could be the reason to actually make her take the help of such a thing in her life?! Especially,when she was almost on the edge of graduating from this university.

Once again sitting back on his knees, he looked at her face with his cloud mist covered ones, "So… tell me, what happened to you to make you look so gloomy?"

"I...fought with my parents regarding something…" she was able to mumble in between her breath.

Jennifer opened the wine bottle once again to pour the wine in the glass. Taking a sip of it, she made a sour expression, indicating that it was quite bad to taste.

Yet this didn't initially stop her from gulping the entire glass.

Despite seeing her in this state, Javier knew that he had no control over it. 'Probably if I try to stop her right now and she shouts..more people will?come..' and letting anyone see her in this condition would be the last thing on his bucket list.

Just when she finished the entire glass, Jennifer rubbed her lips to look at the man in front of her with her tipsy eyes, "Why are all parents so harsh with their children?"

"I have been trying to find the answer to this question for years, Jennifer. Unfortunately, there is no defined answer to this…" Javier spoke as per his knowledge, without tearing his gaze off from her, "Or probably it depends from individual to individual. .."

When she heard his comment on her question, Jennnifer somehow felt that the man was right. "Maybe….they...don't think about their children's happiness….but all that they want is.. their choice…"

"Did your parents ask you something which you don't want to do?" cautiously, Javier was able to ask, in the much lowered tone.

In the back of his mind, he hoped for a negative answer, yet this was his only hope….

In return to him. He got a nod from her side. Making a pout out of her lips, she looked at the man with her puppy eyes, "Something which I'm not even...willing..to do..every..in my life."

"What is it? Something very much against your wish?"...Which made you actually start drinking? Yet he kept the second half of the sentence back in his throat.

It would be enough to learn what took such a roll over her mental health to actually opt for this option, to drink in the night.

What he noted was, her grip tighted around her bottle even more. Her eyes were burning, unknown toh him if due to the sensation of wine or anger.

'Why will she be so angry with her parents?' he was all clueless, looking for some definite answers from her side as well.

Initially, Jennifer didn't mutter even a single thing, only growing his anxiousness inside his mind. Staring at her face, which seemed to be lost in some other world, grew his desperation, "Jennifer…"

"My parents have asked me… to marry someone." came a feeble answer from her side.

It held enough power to actually shock him, automatically making him stand from his original sitting position, "What did you say?!"

Nodding her head, Jennifer was absorbed in her own dilemma, where she failed to absorb his expressions when he seemed off the track already, as compared to her, "T-they asked me to be into a..marriage...after studying so much..they wish to marry me off!"

"D-d-did you actually agree?" Javier asked consciously, where he found no answer from her side.

Lack of response only increased his tension when he asked again, "Tell me!"

"No-..no..not till now." she mumbled as a sigh escaped Javier's ljips.

Only if any of them knew that this night was going to be the most dramatic and the longest night which they will go through.

At this point, Javier only faced the heras if he wanted to avoid all the hustle bottles in her life. What was actually happening with her?! Her parents asked her to marry, not something off, but…. When she is already too good in studies and can go for a higher position if she applied for jobs?!?

His expression had already changed from the starting but Jennifer was aborted in so much drowsiness that covered her eyelids, where she found this to be more and more difficult to open her eyes.

On noting the same, Javier knew that he needed more answers, if small information was enough to drive him crazy, what does it hold ahead?

Who knows, when will he get such a night with her.. to have his answers again.

"Jennifer...Jennifer tell me, who is the person whom you are getting married to?" Javier hurriedly asked, with desperation very much clear in his voice, only to find her not answering.

Looking at her face, he brought his hand near her face to cup it. "Sh….open your eyes..tell me.. Who is the person.."

"I-..its..l.." her feeble voice got no answers from her side, making Javier bite his lower lip.

At the end, he cupped her face with his both hands to make it face his face directly. Without breaking eye contact, his deep husky voice came, "Jennifer...who is the man your parents asked the you to marry?"

"L..Lucas..sm..smith....hmm…"

THUD!

THUD!

Immediately, after telling, Jennifer closed her eyes to go into a deep state of slumber already. She fell on his hand, leaving Javier in total shock and surprise. 'Lucas Smith?!'

The name was itself a thunderstorm, in the entire state of Smith. The heir of Smiths...the man whom his family varies for so long…

The wide eyes of his, with the unsettled frown expression were the evidence. The news was indigestible when his lowered eyes again peaked at her sleeping figure. Without wasting one more second, he helped her to lay on the bench once again, where she has drifted to sleep already.

But he knew that he can't leave her alone..especially in this cold open field where she could catch the flu the next morning.

Keeping the same in the mind, he took her into his embrace to walk towards her apartment. Going inside the building, he came at its doorstep to look at the girl who laid peacefully in his embrace, wearing his coat. She had already snuggled closer to his chest where she found more warm lingering.

But seeing her in a sorrowful state , broke his heart into a million pieces.

Helping her keep on the ground, he kept her down in the sitting position to press the bell of the apartment and to run away from the place. Coming at the wall present, he looked from there to see her mates coming out their apparent and broight Jennifer inside.

A sigh escaped his lips on seeing her already well at her home, yet his heart was now going through dozens of emotions.

Coming back into the field, he came back to the bench where Jennifer was earlier present.

Alone, he sat there for long before his eyes drifted to the time when he first saw the little girl in university and now..the news revolved inside his brain to realise that she was getting married…. To no one else but Lucas..Lucas Smith..

'Her family is actually getting her to marry that monster?' he can't digest the news even a single bit. As the name itself made his hands turn into his fist, 'If her family is blind....that doesn't mean I'm blind as well..'

He never let his feelings be expressed, since they never had the time. But…will he let her go away from him easily?!

Will his love die with the time?!

Will he not do anything to have his life...even if that means once…?

Taking a deep breath, Javier took his phone out of his pocket to stare at a single number. He kept his gaze stagnant, until his fingers stroked and dialed the number.

The call went through, but it wasn't answered till late. Until he heard a husky and deo voice, "Son…"

"I wanted to suggest a plan. A new plan which will ultimately benefit us and get your things done, Mr. Johnson." Javier told Shawn Johnsons, "What is this?"

"Let us kidnap Lucas Smith's bride to be...from the wedding…"
