The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 372 - She Is Married!

The weather even got worse with time. As the clouds covered the entire place, everyone knew that they had to rush things before they made a drastic change.

The rain was soon going to start pouring and even Lucas knew that this needed to be cleared.

"You want me to shoot this Javier..hmm...I like the idea though.."

A faint smile curved on Lucas's face which started to increase Jennifer's heartbeat. She could feel herself being driven to the edge of losing her whole world. 'No...I can't let anything happen to him...' she can't and she knew this perfectly.

Her eyes shifted to Lucas to once again mutter, "Lucas... no..you can't do this to him..please..no.."

"You can even have hundreds of brides! But, please leave me! I beg you, please keep me out of this..." Jennifer took a few steps ahead when she fell in the center of the ground.

Coming on her knees, she folded her hand into one without tearing her gaze from Lucas even for a minor second. Now, it was her turn as the streams of tears turned to the place. Its pounding heart gave her unimaginable thoughts which were enough to break her mentally.

"Please Lucas..don't kill him....I request you..." she knew she wouldn't survive if anything happened to him. He is her life, her entire world. The man who understands her too well, someone with whom she fell in love for the very first time in her entire life...

Seeing her in such a condition not only broke Javier's heart but as well as Austin's. He knew this lady was crazy in love with this man...and unfortunately, this man was no one else but her husband.

Yet Javier, who was currently holding Austin's collar could feel his body turning numb. The fury was once again leaving his body where he found the sight in front of him almost unimaginable. His chest had started to hurt where he wanted to just step ahead and ask her to stand on her toes but..somehow, he could sense his legs were also stuck to the ground.

Subconsciously, his grip loosened on Austin's shirt. Getting the same opportunity, Austin broke free from him when he held Hannah's hand and dragged the unwilling Hannah to Lucas's side.

The only person left on Javier's side was his own wife...his love.

But the sight gave him a final bow. At this time it doesn't matter to him if he survives or not. The only thing which he cares about was his wife's self-respect. He can't let her ruin it for him.. especially if not in front of Lucas.

Taking a few steps, he yelled from the back, "Jennnifer! Stand on your toes!"

With this saying, he took his gun out of his jacket which he pointed in Lucas's direction. It was a straight side with nothing else mattering. Everything had disappeared into thick air, except the three people present that were passing each other the deadliest aura.

Jennifer ended up standing on her toes to find herself in the middle of the two giant men. Both guns were in her direction, but she knew very well that

they both were almost ready to fire at each other, even if it meant killing themselves.

She was standing as a wall between them, and somewhat, the small past experiences of the dreams entered into her mind. 'Didn't this same situation happen in my dream?"

She was afraid of this situation to arise but her heart was currently at the bay. Dread and uneasiness started to trace her mind where she found it even harder to quit. Where was she supposed to run?

But then, Lucas's voice entered her ears, "Jennifer, come on my side and I will leave this man for you.."

"Never! She is mine to keep, Lucas. Do you want to have her? Over my dead body." Javier's eyes were shining with the cold mist layer that covered them.

But Jennifer's lips went dry over their wordings. Her mind was going through thousands of turmoil already. "Lucas..understand that...i can't come with you anymore..please..."

"Why?" Lucas was quick to ask when found it to be absurd, to which Jennifer wasn't able to gather the courage to mutter due to her own heartbeat. But Javier had bo hesitance to actually reveal and finally answer in the yell, "BECAUSE WE ARE MARRIED!"

SILENCE

SILENCE

Nothing could break this thick atmosphere that surfaced around. Even, it was deadly to say that everyone felt the air being sucked out of their lungs. This came as no less than a shock to her parents, who were surprised more than anything.

"J..Jenn..Jennifer..is married..." Amelia mumbled where David had to hold his wife more tightly to not let her fall on the ground. Neither was he less shocked when he looked at Lucas, who was fuming with fire.

The fire ignited inside his mind where he shifted his attention in the direction of Austin to ask him,

"Is this true?" In return, he got a?hesitant and angry nod from Austin. "True. They both are married..."

The existing fire was even more vibrant to the end where Lucas found no way to subside that. He could literally feel himself for the edge of burning into the full fire where he traced his eyes to see JENNIFER, "You married this guy...A Johnson heir...Jennifer...Jennifer..what have you done..."

Jennifer had no words to say. Tears were only coming out as if she can't imagine what will happen now. The fear and anger were evident which she was afraid of the most.

But his last words were the most dangerous which Jennifer and Javier could hear, "If this person is your husband..then...this marriage will be valid only if this husband of yours survives this."

SHOT! SHOT!

PS- Never thought that I will put this up here, yet writing after seeing your own ranking is so heartbreaking where u just wish of giving up so many things. Saw Myself even at 82th place, despite having so many of readers. Won't blame all of uou since that's not the case. But it realllyy hurts to see urself so low. As a human being, it is difficult to push yourself everytime to write, despite not understanding why your novel can't be at top? It has been one of the best ones, I know this, but suddenly, it changed... it hurts, badly.

Sorry for sudden outburst but it shatters me as an author to believe that we aren't able to do anything.. Really sorry.
