The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 367 - Betrayal(2)

"You wanted to know who allowed me access here? It is your father, the head of the Johnson family." Lucas answered with brutal honesty and a smile that never left an inch.

But on the other hand, Javier could feel himself in the thunder already.

Taken aback, he headed to the support of the car at his back where he felt this to be nothing but a nightmare. His own father?

On seeing his imbalance, Jennifer immediately rushed out of the car to hold him tight to his place, "Javier....don't fall.." she held his body with her grip to see him in the deepest surprise that he ever received.

He was in a daze, or more likely to say, the information made him reach in such a way, "Javier...please..."

She can't afford him to be weak at this point. Despite knowing that she's the reason for them to be here, it never hindered her from actually believing that they may have a chance to turn away from here.

But on her arrival in front of his eyes, Lucas's gaze lifted up. "JENNIFER TAYLOR!"

On her name being called, she moved her neck in his direction as her body stiffened at the smile of his. Tiny hair rose at her back where she felt the icy horror would grab her heart.

"Y...You…" She hasn't seen him since the day she was kidnapped from her wedding. After such a long time, it was the first time they came face to face, except the time she saw him from the back of the car once.

"How have you been, my dear fiance? I hope that the Johnsons haven't actually been harsh on you, have they?" he raised his brows when a faint chuckle missed out of his lips.

"None of your business Lucas!" Jennifer's words were in anger but she knew it won't make much difference. "Not my business? My baby, you are my bride-to-be. How can you not be my business and heating?"

"Lucas Smith, keep your tongue to the limit!" At this point, Javier finally snapped at the man who was trying to act furiously with his wife.

Not only that, he perfectly knows for what reason has this man shown up now...

While Javier was totally at the edge of losing his mind, subconsciously, he wrapped his hand around Jennifer's body before he looked at Lucas with the fierce gaze, "A fool like you will actually think of taking her away from me, Lucas."

"From you? She is mine to keep, Javier." with time, Lucas's husky and cheerful tone had started to convert into a dangerous one.

Jennifer could feel the intensity increase with each time. She couldn't remember if she had ever felt this scared in her lifetime, not even when Javier kidnapped her.

But this wasn't the end. Soon, another car raced in the open ground which was stopped near Lucas's car.

Seeing the same, confused Jennifer and Javier. Their grip tightened around each other at the thought of another threat.

But this was less than a threat but more like revealing of the part which Jennifer hasn't revealed till yet.?Not only that, Jennifer felt the air sucked out of her lungs when she saw her parents coming out of that particular car.

'Mum..dad...'

She was least expecting them to show up at this crucial time when Javier had already shown his displeasure with her.

And now....how was she supposed to handle everything happening?

Both her parents came down and stood beside Lucas with the evident happiness that reflected over their faces.

But unlike her, Javier was more confused. He could vividly remember that he had seen them somewhere but it was hard to guess where.

"These two...."

"You don't know them? They are the parents of the person whom you kidnapped, Javier.?Mr. and Mrs. Taylor."

Hearing this, Javier's eyes immediately shifted down to see his wife's face which she had tried to bury in her head. 'If she's seeing her parents after long..why is she behaving in such a defensive way?' He wouldn't understand.

But after seeing Javier all clueless, only made Lucas take a deep breath before he revealed this as well, "You know what is interesting Javier? that you had no idea what Jennifer had done behind your back."

"Her parents have been in this state for so long, but you? You had no clue about this. And the reason you had no clue was...your father found this before your contacts had. He gave us really good protection and your eyes? hah, they were always kept in the dark." Lucas left no stone to show his sarcasm to Javier.

While Lucas held the full authority right now, Javier was undergoing the turmoil of emotions and sentiments that he never felt he would.

A violent wave of anger brushed inside his chest which he wanted to let out....yet it was too difficult to actually show it.

For him, he felt this to be the most impossible way.

Javier can't even process so much information at once.

For him, it was too much to absorb once and the mere fact that..Jennifer knew about everything long back?

She knew that her parents were here?

Looking down to look at her face, he saw her already feeling cold. His quicksilver stare at her was so intense that one felt like her brain would go through malfunctioning.

"I..Is...this truth, Jennifer?" he asked bluntly, hoping to receive a shake. He wasn't ready for her betrayal in such a way...

When Jennifer raised her eyes, she bit her lips to explain, "Javier..listen to?me..just listen..."

"Did you know or not? Yes or no?" Javier didn't let her finish, while her stammering was the clear-cut answer he wanted.

At last, Jennifer knew she was exposed to no end. This Lucas will leave her out of nowhere right now. With no other option that came inside her mind, Jennifer finally nodded her head, "Yes..I knew everything.."
