The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 447 - Many Secrets

Javier's hands were still very much playing with the gun in his hands. He didn't leave it from his hands, rather stayed focused and still appeared aloof. "You were not even interested to learn about the killer and that is the reason, you left everything in the middle hand."

"That isn't true..."

"That is the truth we all are facing, Mr. Johnson. You can't deny that." Javier remained to his words, lifted his eyes to gaze at his father, with a slightly narrow glint passing by.

He can never forget the time when his mother's funeral was held. She was lying in front of him, in the coffin. It hurt his heart to the maximum where all his sentiments had gone numb. Not only did he find his family shattering into pieces, but his mother was also snatched from him.

And his father? Well, he had no care except about his mistress and the newborn daughter. If Charles was important to him for his business, he was a close substitute for the wastage.

"You were right, father. I can't even expect anything out of you. Because you have gone so down in my eyes from where you can never lift.." he muttered, in his slow voice.

But soon then, Javier raised his gun to point it straight in the direction of Shawn, with his eyes turning into the mysterious gaze, "What will happen if I shoot you right now?"

Terror resided in Shawn's face. His breath came to a stop where there was no doubt that sweat had formed on his forehead when he saw Javier acting in such a harsh way.

"Y-You...shouldn't do that."

"Why? Even when you had openly told Lucas that you can do whatever you wish with Javier?" Javier repeated again, to which Shawn had on answers to give. He was purely speechless, which isn't anything new either to Javier.

However, Shawn didn't say much. Yet the same can't be said for Ellen and Ryan, whose heartbeats had raced again.

Much self-control was needed by both of them to hold themselves since they could feel that Javier can shoot at any point and it will only act to their disadvantage. But on the other hand, as soon as they were going to step forward, did Javier put the gun down on his thigh to not tear his eyes off from his father.

"You are still a Johnsons. And I'll let you rot here for the next few days..weeks or probably months? God knows because I will not leave you so easily either, Mr. Shawn Johnson." saying this, Javier got on his toes before he pushed the chair a bit at the back.

Instead of immediately leaving, he turned around to pass a look to Ellen, before asking, "Make sure you make him eat everything he dislikes. In the end..his Ego will be needed to shatter and I Will make sure it does."

"As per your way, Javier." Ellen gave a small nod but it sent the chills down the spine of Shawn.

However, just when Javier was ready to walk entirely out of the room and was currently standing at the entrance, did he hear another voice from behind. "You are making a mistake, Javier. You have no idea...what you are missing for me.."

Hearing this Javier peaked above his shoulders to find his father's serious turned face. There was no trace of fear anymore. What he came across was to see that he wasn't kidding with him or trying to either ask for mercy.

At last, Javier once again entirely turned around to look at his father with an expressionless face. "Mistake? In treating you?"

"By not letting me out, and thinking of killing...Javier, you will regret this in your entire life. If I die without telling you everything.. you will lose many things..so will Charles" Shawn's eyes shone with the glow.

At this stage, there was a huge urge of Javier to not listen to his father. And he did follow the same command where his heart led him to. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"You don't and that is why I warned you." With this, Shawn moved his gaze away from Javier, looking straight at the wall that was there.

Initially, Javier didn't reach much either and finally stepped out of the basement room. He went straight up through the elevator before going to the terrace to get into the fresh air.

His breath was stuck to his throat as if he wasn't even having the courage to breathe. But the stoic expression never changes either. There was no trace of unhappiness, yet the urge and depressed feelings never left his heart.

Walking near the railings present on the terrace of the building, he took his phone out from his pocket before dialing Charles's number.

The ring went through and he heard the aloof voice, "What happened, Javier?"

"I heard that you have gone to meet someone. Is everything fine?" Javier was still not welcoming but felt a tinge of a serious tone. In contrast to this, Charles gave him assurance, "Don't worry there is nothing I can't handle."

"Except the husband of your ex-lover, I Guess." Javier passed the comment, on a much lighter note.

Whereas, Charles didn't mind either where he kept his usual tone, "You already know from Ryan that I have come to meet someone."

"Yeah, he told me that someone is coming from abroad. It wasn't hard to guess." Javier's instincts gotta react really quickly. There was only one connection of Charles's from abroad and that was only with Sierra.

There was no one in the entire universe to get him off the work except that lover of his, who was now on the edge of divorce. Yet it was still very much unknown to them about her personal reasons.

Neither did he get the information about her husband's background, which initially appears to be very simple but not anymore..

On the other hand, Charles gave a short reply before hanging up, "I will call you afterward." saying this, he hung up immediately where Charles was currently sitting on the table, and across him, was Sierra, with her worried expressions.

There were two cups of coffee present on their repressive tables as Sierra cleared her voice, "Was that Javier?" She asked, with the quietly confident tone to which Charles nodded, "He was." In return, Sierra gave a short smile before picking her glass up.

But then, without even removing his gaze from her, Charles bluntly asked, "So you want me to actually help you find this mad person who is calling you?"
