The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 128 - Mere Alliance!

Chapter 128 - Mere Alliance!

"More likely to say that it is not interesting but surprising for me. Look, I never thought you will be interested in any kind of Job or… like somewhere else." She spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Somewhere, she had as always thought, he must be staying here to build his empire but what he said, came to her as a shock.

Leaving the mafia family behind him? That was really strange of him to say that because not all the family's children think the same when they can live a lavish life.

But it looks like this lavish life wasn't suited for him either. Moreover, somewhere she feels that this luxury has its own disaster and somewhere Javier must have learned and gone through the same.

That's why he never took life for granted but remained his attitude of gratitude.

"Seriously? Why do you feel that?" Javier asked with his curious voice to know her answer. "Simply because I never thought that you would leave everything behind so easily...your brother and everyone."

He turned towards her and kept his hand on his one hand, bringing his face closer to her, "You want me to tell you a secret?"

He received a vigorous nod from her side when a chucked passed his lips when he replied back with a lighter tone, "You know…" coming near her ear, he whispered in his husky voice with deeper meaning, making Jennifer a little alert.

"I still have the plans of running away from the hustle of this life. Sooner or later, I will leave everything behind with my one most precious thing by my side."

At the same time, Jennifer covered her mouth to stop herself from yelling. The information was quite personal.

Did he just discuss his future plans with her? Why?! Was he trusting her so much that he had no doubts about her? Or did it slip from his mind that she is still Lucas's bride?

'Looks like the fact eclipsed his mind..about my status currently.' with him being so frank, took her by surprise but she found the same heartwarming.

A glow appeared on her face when he pulled back, "You made me run from my wedding, and then you have plans to run the entire mess?"

"Not yet. When the right time comes and does worry, I will not leave you in the mess alone. Until and unless everyone is cleared, I will not leave you so easily... alone and not letting you go back with Lucas too."

His face was in clear closeness. The Proximity between them was changing with each passing second when their heads were almost in an inch gap.

Just a mere distance will make their nose touch, and lips crash. At this thought, Jennifer's heartbeat increased increasingly.

Despite the darkness, she can feel his eyes looking into hers, with the danger signs.

On the other hand, she gulped her saliva due to the enormous nervousness that cheered in her stomach.

Never, she has never been so close with someone else of the opposite sex except with him. Letting him share a bed with her and having such deep thoughts…

"Y..You... won't leave me alone?"

"No, I won't. I promise you on that. Or if in the nearby future, I have to.. I'm sure that I will be able to mend your way into the right path too." With this, he brought his body back and increased the gap between their faces.

With the current gap between them, Jennifer's heart came at the normal rate yet her eyes never shifted from his deep gaze towards her.

His two showing eyes were more intoxicated than she earlier believed them to be. They carry a whole sea of emotions in them!

"What about Emily then?! She is your fiance and I believe that you both will be getting married soon... Too as per your family's wish." The question was lingering in my mind for so long already.

If she has to attach herself to him, the foremost thing to ever ask out is the status of the woman and his feeling and attitude towards his so-called fiance.

Javier didn't react much in this respect and kept a straight face as always.

This was giving her double thoughts but she still waited for him to give her a response.

At last, Javier switched the side lamp to make some light to the room. She was confused but didn't protect herself in the same way.

The light covered the entire room, though it wasn't that bright but enough for her to see his face much clearly.

'At least now I can see his facial expression too.' She is well aware of this technique to hide his emotions behind the wall.

But her command on reading the body language and eyes are no less than anyone else.

"Emily… is not my fiance. That is simply an alliance done by both of our families to stronger the relationship. Moreover, It was initiated by Emily herself since then but I don't have any kind of feelings towards her."

"More or less, sister would be the correct word to describe our relationship, that is what it has been since we were children. I was never close to anyone much, except Charles and some of my friends."

"As she was a family friend and the daughter of an influential man too, we had met a few times but nothing more."

The clear-cut explanation gave her a bigger picture to look at. Jennifer has no clue why he defined such deep length to her. They practically share nothing but his explanation was soothing to her tempting and curious heart.

It was delightful to hear out that he has no hard feelings toward the girl. Emily's feelings don't matter in front of Jennifer's eyes since they are one-sided and not reciprocated.

'So..looks like if I try on him, that won't be a bad idea too, right?'

....

PS-What do you think? Should Jennifer try on Javier when he is also giving her positive response?!
