The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 428 - Sticking To Lucas?

The thought had struck her hard and she found herself fighting in the web of the questions. Was she in the position to message up or not? It raised many doubts in the depth of her heart.

As the screen of the phone was reflecting on her face, she finally opened the chat to type with her one hand itself.

Olivia- You are awake?

Bossy Austin- Why? Are you missing me?

...

Meanwhile, Austin was currently sitting on the window of his room, half-naked where another lady, naked,? was sleeping in his bed.

He held a cigarette in between his fingers to only look at the stars. Despite having everything, his heart was never satisfied since a major part of his life had remained empty.

His physical needs are always satisfied since the girls are already thrown on him. But his heart..? It only had one name and that of Jennifer Taylor.

However, at this point in his life, he can't differentiate himself. Was this just an attraction or a strong feeling like love?

There was much confusion and no one around him was there to clear the same. So, he had automatically just switched to the thought it must be love for her..

Letting out smoke from his mouth, he heard a notification on his phone. Grabbing it from the other side, he saw the message from the lady, from whom he had least expected a message or a call.

Why? Simply because their first interaction at the hospital didn't go as well either. The hatred she bores is still the same, and he can't help but feel himself growing frustrated because of the same.

A playful smirk had lifted off on his lips where he ended up messaging. 'Why? Are you missing?'

Olivia- Not missing. J-Just had the wish to talk to you...

Austin- Oh. it is late, shouldn't you be sleeping to go to the office the next day?

The expressionless face showed no emotions. Nevertheless, to say, he jerked his head behind to lift the bottle of the beer that was present near the widow's storm.

The physical attraction had attracted many girls but none of it was able to capture his heart..

The thought recalled when he remembered that today was the time when Olivia was present at Lucas's mansion, he could somehow, vividly guess where shwas right now.

And maybe....with whom.

At the thought, Austin's mood had soured even in the worst manner.? His jaw had tightened to the extent where he wanted to just rip the head off right now.

"God..why had I even Sent Olivia for such a task and not someone else?"

The frustration was very much real when he was left with two other options. His hands were tied with a strong string and he can't even do anything about it.

At the thought, Austin took a deep breath to calm his veins. It was useless to think about the useless things which are already a part.

But then, he shot a glare at the lady who was sleeping on his bed to finally mutter to himself, "Seems like….it is time to reconnect with Olivia? well …"

…

On the other hand, Olivia's mind was bursting from the indifferent wonders that were present in her life.

She knew that everything wasn't as she had expected it to be. Lucas was someone whom she loved..but here she is, messaging her old flame.

At last, she peeked from the corner of her shoulders to look beyond and found that Lucas still had no idea what was going around him.

A giant smile had traced her lips where she adjusted herself and averted her eyes on her phone to go through the feed again, typing.

Olivia- I miss those times when we used to make the sandcastles on beaches.

Austin- Past, Olivia. Focus on your future. But, if you wanna meet, we can catch up tomorrow.

After reading this text, a happy-go-lucky smile had traced her heart. Was he seriously willing to meet her after so long and once she had bashed him so badly in the hospital?

Despite her mind telling her that this won't go as she expects it to be, or maybe this man is only sweet to get into her pants but she had it kept her hopes not too high either.

In the end, she had kept her phone back on the table without responding to him. Her expression already gave a vibrant idea that she was afraid, and fearfully to not be caught in the same web of love and affairs...

'Maybe sticking to Lucas is the only easy solution..'

….

The time had evolved, so did it happen In Jennifer's life, where she had behaved normally with everything around him. Keeping normal routine, no one, spotted any harm, neither did Hannah have any suspicions.

She had already removed her meeting with? Jack that day, but her heart was still very much growing in the rage, where only she knew how difficult was it was to manage from the events going around.

Yet, she kept the same spirit in her mind, only to act normally and lie there.

With The normal routine of getting up all in the morning to have a walk, she helps her mother with the chores.

Sometimes she'd cry alone in her room, in the memories of Javier.

The thought that he hadn't contacted her till this very time, only grew her heart with plague. But she was left with no other option, only to act in her revenge and defense.

A similar day happened when Jennifer was assisting her mother in the household chores. She had already cleaned the entire drawing room and the living room when a notification came on her phone.

"Um..I will come after checking from whom is it..." Jennifer passed Amelia a soft smile, to which Amelia nodded her head.

Jenifer made her way to the shelf where her phone was present, only to come across a message from the bastard.

Lucas- let's meet on the private yacht that I'm going to visit tonight. What do you say?
