The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 305 - Accepted

Turning around, Jennifer too faced him when she saw him a little bit annoyed. "What are you doing here, Ryan?"

"I was.. passing by and then I saw the attic room open. Didn't know that you both were here.." he was more likely to say shocked when he found both of them, going through something in the storeroom.

What can be hidden in this storeroom, which is making them talk in almost whispers? "I don't think there is anything that needs your attention..here especially.." At this point, Ryan could feel something really suspicious between them already. What can it be?

"I was actually telling and showing Jennifer about.." Amaira was ready to spill the beans, but before she had taken the step, Jennfier stepped ahead. "I have something to ask from you."

Hearing her serious way of talking, made Ryan alert. He slightly nodded his head and responded to the same despite his heart giving him all the signals that this will not be so good.

"Please ask without any hesitation." came his reply.

Jennifer walked closer to him, without tearing her eyes even for a mere second from his. The eye look wasn't the settled one when Jennifer's forehead lines deepened.

"Were you and Javier in the same university?" she asked bluntly.

In contrast to her question, she could sense that he was uncomfortable answering her back. Lack of response for the next few seconds confirms her suspicion, "I asked you something, Ryan."

"Who told you this? Amaira?" Instead of replying to her, he threw the question at her. But she had no intent to even answer the same, "It was me who asked first. Please answer. Also, it doesn't make any sense who told me or not."

"Yes. I and Javier were in the same university."

Ryan's straightforward and clear answer only raised her confidence in her doubts. The possibility was almost close to being true.

So, was the man who used to sit in her class, the same man who was standing in front of her?

She highly doubted that it was the ultimate truth

"The same man...the student who had curly hair, right? He used to use his coldness around himself and is one of the most famous people among the girls. Isn't it true, Ryan?" she had no intention of hiding it all the way anymore.

If this was supposed to be revealed, why delay this anymore? Moreover, his secret was already lying in front of her plainly. For how long, can she neglect the possibility when each line is matching the other?

In return, Ryan's lips are sealed into a straight line. He had to reply to her query except for the silence.

His actions lifted her lips upwards, "I guess… Your silence is enough for me to know many things already.

"Je-"

"I have no interest in hearing any more bundles of lies. You guys knew me as Lucas's bride? Haha! Now I know why I used to feel as if you guys are somewhat similar..remind me of someone.."

Jennifer's expressions and behavior made Ryan worried. At least, right now she has only confronted him, but what will happen when she does the same with Javier?

Won't that be the bigger shock for her to learn?? The thought itself was scary enough.

"You should talk to Javier regarding this. He had his reasons, so do I. Please.. don't? assume before clearing? this out with him." She doesn't know why but she heard his plea without responding to it.

Does he have the energy to suggest she talk with Javier? Oh, she will do sure!

Folding her hands near her chest, she stared at the man in front of her with her indifferent attitude that surfaced along with, "I never expected this out of you all.."

With the same, she left the storeroom to walk back to her room.

Neither did any of them stop them as Amaira and Ryan stood inside with deep silence between them. The stillness was still very much present, making it more confusing for Amaira all along. Yet she dared to keep her mouth shut, knowing the urgency of the situation first.

After Jennifer's departure from there, she lifted her eyes to meet Ryan's, "You all have done one more blunder?"

"Who asked you to tell her about our university?" His fury was surely directed towards her but Amaira couldn't help but defend her," She was the one who saw brother's certificate. Do you think that if I had never told her, she wouldn't have found this out by herself?'

Her answer was powerful enough to make Ryan not reveal this. He gave her a death glare before leaving her. But before leaving her all alone, she heard his distant voice,"For some time, do not even linger around your brother Javier. If he knows you showed her the album, he will burn you alive.."

….

The time passed with the arrival of the evening.

Javier returned back to his house from work and was currently on his way towards his room. In the middle, Ryan stopped near him when he met his gaze, "Javier, we need to talk."

In contrast to his serious expressions, Javier seems more relaxed, "Not now, Ryan. there was a lot of work and..I was really exhausted."

"This is urgent." Ryan didn't directly reveal a single thing but Javier failed to understand his solemn state, "Ryan, please not now. I ended up relaxing.." Ryan wanted to speak but? Javier didn't let him give any chance. He moved away at his fastest speed, without giving a chance to Ryan.

While Javier with a bright smile that lingered over his lips, Ryan was in deep conflict.

Staring at his man's back, Ryan can't help but mutter, "This will wind up all your tiredness Javier.."

…

Coming inside the bedroom, with a bright smile on his lips, what he came across was the lady who sat on the chair with a book in her hand. "My lovely wife.."

Keeping his bag on the other side and slightly adjusting his tie, he walked near her.

Bringing his arms around her from the back, he hugged her neck when he inhaled her fragrance into his nostrils, "Hmm..I Missed you so much."

"Hmm. but I guess, I never missed you today. Though, your arrival was very much awaited, Mr. Javier Johnsons." she was cold and he can't even deny that.

Yet the answer never lied with him, why was she behaving in this manner? Javier was a bit concerned but he brushed his thought, "Is my dear wife angry? Should I do something to make her happy?"

As her response, she closed her book and kept it on the table. Turning around, she faced him with her detached emotions, "I would be greatly happy if you served me truth tonight in the dinner instead of food."

Her constant answers finally made Javier understand that this was grave. She doesn't act in this manner, no matter what happens and now, her attitude and behaviors seemed off-topic.

Not only that, her expressions gave him a hint already that this must be related to something serious, otherwise, knowing her too well, she won't throw a tantrum so freely and casually.

Taking her hand into his, he sat on his knees without looking away from her face. "Alright, tell me what happened to you."

"Javier.." She wanted to say this, but then her eyes caught the tiredness in his eyes, "Go and change first. We will talk about it once you are done."

'B_"

"This will go long. You better go and change."

Seeing her slightly warming up, he just nodded his head to directly head towards the bathroom as he was interested to change into comfortable wear as soon as possible and then, talk with his wife regarding what issue is she facing.

Coming inside his bathroom, he changed into his PJs, but then his eyes fell on his wife who had stood from the couch already and stood near the bed, her back in his direction.

"Jennifer…" calling her name sweetly, he took a few steps ahead to come from her behind and higher, to find her rigid body in his hand. A frown cuffed over his face, "Jennifer, is everything fine?"

Subconsciously, she lifted her eyes to face him and turned around. At this point, all he came across was her holding something near her chest. "T...this.."

"Today I was looking for something in the drawers, only to end up finding this. Isn't this an interesting piece? I never knew you won something in your past...medals…" her words never matched her intact face, where there was a mocking smile that lingered for long.

Javier gulped the saliva present in his mouth, when Jennnifer immediately, kept the certificated in front of her chest to make them look by Javier straight, where his name was indicated.

Her lips were formed into a narrowing gaze, "So...my love…. We have a lot to talk about, isn't it?"
