The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 242 - Purpose

It was already morning when the sun rays fell on her body which was lying on the floor. Half of her face was on the bed, while her lower half was on the floor itself.

Her eyes flickered when she turned to open her eyes yet found it hard to do since her eyes were already puffed. Redness covered her entire face with a fresh morning.

"It's already morning…" muttering to herself, Jennifer yawned and rubbed her eyes. Just then, her eyes fell on the curtain were flying due to the wind from outside. "I… slept on the floor?"

"Yes, you did that, Ms.. Taylor." The voice from behind brought the lady out of a daze when she instantly turned around on hearing the girly voice. It was no one else but Amaira, standing at the entrance with something in her hand.

Her eyes furrowed, she asked with uncertainty in her voice, "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"At this hour? It isn't an early morning and everyone is already awake. You should do the same." With this, she stepped inside the bedroom and kept the clothes on her bed.

Staring at the same, Jennifer wasn't able to find the reasons behind her appearance in her room. "Is her something that you aimed at this time?"

"No. Just to give you clothes as today is.. brother's engagement and I believe you would step down. Wear this to save your heart and face too." Her words were pretty hard but they contained sympathy for her.

It was evident from her face that she too disliked this arrangement of the engagement between two families but there was nothing for her to say in between them. "Get up and freshen up."

"Is Javier already home?" That was the most prominent question which never left her mind. Although she already witnessed nobody enter her room.

Yet her heart was craving to see him.. at least once before his engagement. Unfortunately, she received a negative response from Amaira's side, "Brother Isn't there anymore. I believe.. you know what? Just leave it."

"Please Amaira. Straight to the point." nor was she in any mood to beat around the bush or have any gossip. Rather, all she needed was the first answer to her face.

When Amaira gazed at Jennifer's figure, where she was sitting on the floor without even knowing, a tired sigh escaped her lips. 'How should I tell her the rumor that is going around?' It is hard to witness the drastic change in her expression already.

"Jennifer.." whispering her name lightly, Amaira asked Jennifer to first of all sit on the bed. Following the orders as asked, Jenifer did the same. Yet her gaze never tore from Amaira's expressions. "Tell me now.."

"No one was are about last night. We all thought that he hadn't returned home but… some maids do you know... gossiping.. that..'' she was cut in the middle when Jennifer's brows twisted.

"... That Javier was in Emily's room last night and she was constantly moaning his name?" Jennifer completed the sentence in the most aloof tone ever she found.

With a lot of hesitation, Amaira nodded her head in response. She was afraid that this lady might get angry or might yell at her once again. After all, this was something they hardly heard.

But in contrast to the last time, Jennifer stayed silent throughout. Neither did her eyebrows form nor, her body language change.

'Is she once again in a daze? Or is there so much that she isn't able to express?' The state once again made Amaira alert when she touched Jennifer!s shoulder lightly, "But it is alright. We all know that brother will not do such a thing."

"Then where was Javier last night? CAN you tell me about that too? If no, then why was Emily moaning his name on the top of her lungs? Is she a crazy woman to be followed?" Jennifer bluntly asked, showing no difference but this was the truth they faced.

No, worse than that, Jennifer believed that it is Javier who made her crazy and what not!? Does he actually betray her on the first day of their marriage?

'We didn't even consummate our marriage and he already made his things official before the engagement day?' This brought a smirk to my face. As her hands clutched the sheets tightly, only Jennifer knew what kind of turmoil was she undergoing.

"But there are chances that brother slept in his office. Well.." Amaira knew that she might break the brother-sister code but she found this to be much needed.

Jennifer lifted her eyes to stare at Amaira, "When I told about this rumor to brother Charles, he instantly denied this because… he said Javier was in his office and didn't even return last night."

"He said he needs some space," Amaira answered with a lot of hesitation but she strongly believed Charles's words too. "If that is the truth, who was with Emily then?"

Hearing this, Amaira bit her lower lip, "That is for some other time to find out.."

Not intending to stay any longer and to avoid any suspiciousness, Amaira got up on her legs, "Wear these clothes tonight. If you need some kind help, do call me for that."

"Just give a call to Javier and ask him to meet me.. before the engagement party starts.. at least that is my last wish now."

Amaira's lisp was pursed into a straight line. the demand looked very simple but contained thousands of sentiments too, "alright. I will tell my brother. Anything else do you want me to do?"

"N..Jo. Just leave me alone and let me know… When the engagement starts.." was all she said in reply before her eyes averted to see the gown which Amaira brought.

It was beautiful simple terms but the beauty of it can't pacify her own misery and worriedness, as Jennifer was way too broken.

Amaira stared at the lady in front of her. Despite her urge to not say, her fingers were crossed as her nails dug into her flesh, "Jennifer."

"Hmm?" She didn't turn her face instead her ears had her voice. "We all know brother is doing this for a purpose. Hope you will find this purpose very soon."
