Chapter 140 - Jean’s days are being counted since her birth.
"My father was terrified after looking at the love letter and the flowers. He was afraid that I will propose Jean."
"His dominative demeanor totally changed into fear. He begged me to leave Jean and he was ready to do whatever I ask for."
"Nathan, you know what he said....he said that Jean’s days are being counted since her birth. He said that I being close to her only will only cause my death. He was literally afraid ."
"I didn’t know what to do with sudden
situation. All I could think of was how to save Jean. And he was ready to do whatever I ask for . Only thing that mattered to me then is to stop her assassin."
"So, I asked him to stop the assassin they planned to do that day. As it is matter in his hands he agreed with one some conditions to leave Jean"
"First condition is that I have to say that I wrote letter for her. So he could send Jean away from me. I thought it is for best because staying near to me only means she is playing with her life."
"As I predicted this caused the rift between her and her family. This also made her stay away from Vanessa and by her frustrated face I got to know that she don’t want to send Jean to abroad. Because she couldn’t kill Jean"
"I asked my father to suggest the university where she would be safe. Where he can keep her safe I blackmailed him that if he couldn’t protect Jean I would go back to her. And being his son the person from whom my father worked would surely suspect me and kill me."
"Nathan, my dad said that he could only help me until Jean turn twenty seven. After that we have to be in position to protect our sister. Promise me you will become strong."
Then the recording stopped as its maximum efficiency is thirty minutes.....
Back to present..
Jean is standing with Scott’s support as her legs buckled due to the intense emotions she is going through. Her face is drenching with her sweat and tears that and her hand is covering her mouth as she sobbed and sniffled into her hand.
The agony she is facing reflected all through out the room and all of them looked gloomily at the woman who has been facing such a bad fate.
She couldn’t believe that she had hated such a good man who is ready to even sacrifice his life for her. She will never forgive herself for that....
"Why... why Nathan. Why.....did you make me to hate him and disgust myself for loving hi...him that much for all these years. You do know how close and important he was to me and if you would have told me about this then he would be with us by now. You don’t know how many sleepless nights I spent having nightmares....."
Jean looked sadly at her brother. She couldn’t help but feel guilty. If Raymond would have proposed Kiara that day she would have accepted him. Jean know that her friend had always admired Ray more than Nathan. For her sake her brother sacrificed love of his life.
"Jean, I promised him that I would never talk about this with you. But now I didn’t have choice...please forgive me and him. Let us bring him back to us" Nathan pleaded his sister. He don’t want to talk any more about this because it will only make her more sad.
"Yes.. Yes. I want to slap him for leaving me and acting like a hero" Jean chuckled bitterly.
Scott smiled at her face which looked little better now. Nathan skillfully distracted her from the main issue. After listening to his girlfriends’ request Scott signaled Kim and David to locate Raymond.
Scott want to see his girl happy again. The sooner the better, seeing her like this his heart is aching for the turmoil she is facing now.
Then there is sudden and urgent knock on door. His PA went and opened it. Hannah and Ethan are standing at doorway looking worried "Sir, reporters surrounded our building. They got to know Jean is here."
She looked at all of them keenly memorizing every thing. Jean is sitting in sofa while Nathan and Scott are sitting on the chairs in front of her. David and Kim are busy with something in laptop and Scott’s PA and secretaries stood in their usual positions. Everything seems normal...
"Brother Raymond family has passed the official statement that Cassandra and Raymond are indeed betrothed to each other and that Jean is just his fling who is trying to snatch Raymond." Ethan said angrily. He know that his sister in law will never do like that.
Jean face momentarily paled. "Didn’t I say things will only get worse..." she muttered to herself.
