The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 190 - Have You Fallen For Javier?

At this point, Jennifer felt a rush of blood running towards her mind.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. Oh, What I meant was, as you see Amaira is still eating and I can see that you are already done with your dinner.. so if you... can?" Shirley asked innocently while Jennifer knew that plan that was building inside her suspicious mind.

Moreover, what could be the reason for her to accompany Austin to the powder room?

Was it the glances that Austin passed on her way which made her think that something is wrong? Jennifer wasn't sure either but it seems something must be done to resolve this query in her mind.

When she was about to speak, Javier took the lead and faced his stepmother, "I can go and help him."

"But think you're still eating. Is it a good habit to leave the table in the middle. Jennifer?"

Shirley threw the question once again on her shoulder to which Jennifer slightly nodded, "Yeah… sure. Mr. Brown, please follow me."

Standing On her toes, both of them walked in the direction of the bathroom.

Intentionally, Shirley's lips were curved upwards with an evident brighter smirk. Meanwhile, Javier, whose gaze never tore from their back, was suddenly feeling a lack of something.

Why is it so that his instincts are already against this person? Whom he barely knows!

'Why does this man's arrival make me feel like this? He is simply an unknown man..' he also told that he has a girlfriend.

Yet, something is there which is unconsciously making him feel insecure out of nowhere.

'Am I missing a big lead in this plan?'

….

Jennifer brought Austin towards the powder room which was quite isolated from the rest of the mansion.

It was at last, who knew the reasons for construing it there.

Motioning Austin towards the door, she spoke in her timid voice, "There Is the powder room. You may use it, I will be standing out."

But instead of agreeing to Jennifer's words, Austin's fierce gazes were fixed in Jennifer's direction.

Staring at her with his black eyes, which were totally filled with fury and aloofness. Not showing any kind of mercy, he held her elbow and brought her inside the bathroom, without giving her any chance to even yell.

"What the hell are you even doing, Austin!?!! Let me go!" she urged on the top of her lungs, fearing that this might make her caught.

Yet her panic didn't seem to work on this man when Austin locked the door of the powder room and turned around. His gaze lingered at her face. "Jennifer Taylor… Javier's girlfriend.. hmm? what is this Jen?"

Biting her lower lip, she knew he is annoyed by her tactics, how she behaved, and the care that Javier showed in front of him. "See… I had... no idea.. that he will say something like this to you."

"Neither did I know that you were so happy residing here with all of the Johnsons? I used to think that.... they must have kept you in some kind of cell or what but you are residing with a man in his room!?" His raised voice made Jennifer take a step back.

Her mind isn't functioning in the right direction for a long time and now his arrival, made things turn even more worse in her way.

"I..I.. know that is messy. Look, I know I was the one who called you here. Yes, I wanted to get out of everything... but I wanted time." Was all that she replied and in return, received a chuckle out of his lips.

"Time? They are your kidnappers, the ones who kept you as their hostage and you wish to live longer with them? Are you kidding me?"

He was right, she is asking for time to live with her kidnapper's family.

The ones who are bent on killing her and using her against Lucas. But how was she supposed to tell that parting her ways from Javier seems too hard now?

Why does it feel as if needles are ready to strike her heart, instantly when the thought of leaving his side enters her mind!? She has no answer to this at all!

'I..I.. might be looking like a stupid in his eyes.' surely she looked and there was no doubt in it. "Austin.. I know you aren't able to comprehend what I'm trying to say at all.."

"You wanted your career, your freedom, and I'm happily giving it to you by taking you from here. No one will catch you either, nor Lucas or this family. So why not join?" With each word, the voice of his words turned and looked too broken.

The mighty and happy oh lucky man was already replaced with a helpless person.

A sad look emerged in their eyes, "you know that I'm...ready to sacrifice anything for you."

Hearing this, Jennifer shook her head mentally.

No, she doesn't want the conversion to be leaded in other ways which will totally disappoint her. "You're making me wrong! I told you very clearly that I have no feelings for you, Austin."

"I do know.. that very well but I also said that I will wait for you...until and unless I feel you have found your match. I promised you that I will protect you, at any cost. Now that I know about the dangers here.. you still want me to accept that your life is nothing but bliss in this state ?"

Due to the lack of expense from her side, Austin just laughed at the highest pitch.

Caressing his forehead, he knew that JENNIFER is totally confused in her own mind. In his eyes, she has totally lost her ability to think straight after being with Johnsons!

"Let me just ask you this straightforwardly." Hearing this, Jennifer closed her eyes to feel the stress that lingered around her, "What?"

"Have you fallen for this.. a man called Javier?"
