The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 466: Favor

“So you mean to say that you aren’t their daughter..is this seriously the truth, Jennifer?”

Jennifer passed a nod to the shocked and surprised Jack. He was almost in disbelief that something was hidden from them till this long.

How?! Why?! All of these questions were raised into his brain where he was left with no other option but to ask ahead. “So who are your birth parents?”

“I-I d..don’t know about them,” Jennifer replied honestly, with the gust of the wind reaching on her skin.

Subconsciously, she had wrapped her hands around herself before her eyes blinked twice or thrice and then looked out from the bridge at the beautiful view. But currently, her heart was seized with the rage of reality.

From behind, Jack had massaged his own temples as he couldn’t help but absorb the new information reaching up to him. “And I used to think that there won’t be people worse than Lucas and my own father..who had actually discarded me.”

“Seems like you are in the worst situation, Jennifer. Your parents wish to use you to get benefits.” Jack told her what he realized.

.....

Unfortunately, it was already in Jennifer’s sight.”They want me to marry Lucas as soon as possible so that even if my identity is revealed, they won’t be judged or...any other consequences won’t fall upon them.”

“But what your identity can be for them to face such deadly consequences?” Jack can’t help but wonder, with the same eagerness.

Even Jennifer had no answer to the same since she had hardly realized about such complications in her life. Who is she? Why are her parents so hostile about her real face ever being revealed in society? What will happen? Wasn’t she any other normal child? The word can be that she was abandoned by her birth parents and they were no longer there in the world..right?

But her hopes died down, when Jack’s sentence entered into her brain again, “I think that you aren’t romal. Someone they have actually stolen otherwise they won’t be so afraid. They have betrayed someone for sure!”

“Who knows...” Jenifer uttered under her breath while lowering her eyelids.

She was playing with her hands, fingers all together with nervousness crawling under her skin.

She was hurt, caged with the pain and the plague wasn’t easy leaving her mind too. Things were not only more complicated but messier than ever she could realize. Even her mind wasn’t able to comprehend doing this in her own self.

Whereas, a sigh has already escaped from Jack’s lips. In the end, he had also stood at the corner of the bridge to stand beside her, with the turmoil of sentiments in his eyes too. “Aren’t we really messed up people Jennifer?”

“More than you. I don’t even have my husband beside me.” Jennifer answered with a low voice, only to gain a chuckle from Jack’s lips. “What are you thinking of doing, Jennifer?”

Initially, Jenifer had kept herself in mum mode. All the things brought on left her brain but there was the determination present which was hardly shaken. “I think...I will try to find out who I am. And why is Lucas so much interested in marrying me? Even to the limits that Grandfather Smith is beating the buttons to make me marry his grandson.”

“I was wondering about the same,” Jack said when he recalled today’s events. “They have something to gain from you and this was very significant when we all saw how persistent grandfather Smith is interested in imagining you as his daughter-in-law.”

Yet there was a slight difference in Jennifer’s demure with the time. She had changed her aura to the next level, with the darkness already engulfing herself. Not only was she giving some Snooki vibes, which even made Jack feel the chills down his spine. Rotating his eyes to stare into her direction, he felt her be extremely dark, “Jennifer..your thoughts....”

“Destroy everyone, Jack. I want to destroy everyone.” She was surely done with playing sweetly with all those who have hurt her.

Was she any other saint? No, she was the villain herself, ready to destroy others even if it meant that she might lose her own life. Jennifer had already accepted her own faith under the hands of these people but she isn’t willing to admit the defeat so easily either.

Meanwhile, Jack had given her words a stern nod to ask, “And do you want me to do something for you?”

Hearing this, Jennifer moved her head into his way to find the concerned look plastered on his face. “Do me a favor and convey this information to Javier at any cost. Also, draw the papers and everything done. You already have Lucas’s signatures.”

“Well...to this, there is an issue too..”

A frown curved on Jennifer’s forehead when she dryly asked, “What is that?”

“Well, as per my knowledge, Shawn Johnson is already missing and Javier is nowhere to be seen. Nobody knows where they are. Even his current wife and daughter are restless but..it is a thing we all don’t know about.” the words acted as any other bomb dropped over Jennifer’s head.

‘Where can Shawn and Javier be?’ It was unusual since she clearly remembered that everything was done by Shawn himself. Javier was in the worst situation because Shawn Johnson has sold his son so effortlessly!

So where can he be now? Hidden? Hardly makes any sense.

While Jennifer’s lips were sliced into the thin layer of concern and worry, she had known that this information holds another vital risk in it. Something, she won’t be able to find out on her own, until someone helps her, and Lucas’s opponents need to know about him for sure.

Whereas, Jack could evidently find that Jennifer had other thoughts going in her mind. “You want me to....”

“Contact, Charles Johnson. I’m sure that mentioning this to him would be at least beneficial to us. He will definitely help us..”
