The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 479: Secret

“I’m willing to do that. This is my respect towards you for handling my son for so many years.”

“Trust me, I will never differentiate between the two ever in my life. And thank you, for giving me a daughter along with my son. I’m highly grateful to you for this.” Charles’s words had assured Jack a lot.

He knew how doubtful he was regarding this matter. Even if Charles had not shared, he would have surely done some other arrangement.

But knowing that Charles is a man of his words, he will always listen to Ailey.

And he knew his daughter’s charm too well. He will love her as Noah. And he wants nothing more.

“I should say thank you to you, for this...” Jack said but then, Jack can’t help but wonder, “But..who said you are dying? I can provide you with my arms..peo-”

“This fight will end when I die, and let me sacrifice myself. I’m not a nice guy if you think so. I haven’t been involved in the underworld for long but since I have, I have already dirtied my hands in many unwanted things.”

.....

“So I do deserve what they are saying for her. This was the first rule when I stepped inside the Underworld field.” Jack had honestly told Charles, understanding that his hands were tied on this matter.

Even though there was still the sourness in his heart since this man had snatched his Sierra from him five years ago but with time he gradually understood that they were all meant to be.

He had lived his share of life with Sierra.

But still, he failed to get the hold of the love which she has still reserved for him.

The feeling of being Sierra’s lover was still overwhelming and made his heart skip a beat.

Subconsciously, Charles’ hands went down to clutch them together before saying, “When can I discuss this with Sierra and with the rest of them?”

“Day after tomorrow. I will talk with the children and make them understand. Along with this, I will talk with Sierra about this. We will be getting divorced in the next few days... and after that, you can take Noah and Ailey as yours officially.” Jack’s words were still a new experience.

‘I’m a father of two children?’ The thought only opened.

Even at this stage, he could hardly digest this fact that had been listed down.

And when Jack sensed that the man was feeling the feelings of excitement but anxiety, he had kept his hand over his shoulders. “Don’t worry.”

“I know this feeling. I was feeling this when my late wife, Sarah told me that she was pregnant. We both were over the clouded moon. And when I held Ailey for the first time, I knew that she is the one for whom I will live....because God had given my wife’s reflection in daughter.” Jack’s genuine words were already contained in a sense of security.

‘And Ailey means the world to him...’ just like now he is wishing to bond with two children in her life...

But then, another thought had struck his mind before he averted his eyes, “So..what about Sierra then?”

“What about her?” Jack appears to be confused since he fell clueless.

But when he met Charles’ eyes which were giving some meaningful glare, he immediately found this useful, “So you mean to say about her.. and you?”

“Hmm.”

“Well, I will never interfere in that. It is upon both of you. I was here to talk about the children and clear some misunderstandings as to the mediator.” Jack had honestly told him.

Despite everything, he had no wish to come in between their relationship.

It was their bond, they should know how to deal with it.. and now, they have an entire lifetime to do so.

But since he knew Sierra too well, her anger and fury will not reside for much longer.

But then, he surely had to say, “I will not say anything to you or Sierra but I want to warn you.”

“Keep Sierra away from your family members. Make sure that she isn’t hurt by your father.. or any other family member.” Jack was brutal with his words but Charles didn’t mind.

The thought that his father acted as the villain in his love story made his hands curl into a fist. Taking a deep breath, he tried to not race his fury since it would only turn against him.

Sierra knew why he was there with her father... and that was to obtain his father’s business so that he could make his mother proud too.

Yes, Charles didn’t go away along with his mother but with an interior motive. And that motive was already known to his late mother.

A secret between them...

The thought was connecting but he fell in love with the same outcome, and since he knew about this too now, surely his father will face outcomes.

Knowing this now, Charles only commented, “Don’t worry..my father..will never see the face of Sierra ever in his life anymore.”

“That will be good if you keep Sierra and your family safe because sometimes family members are the biggest enemies of our life.” Jack’s free advice made sense.

But then again, the silence has regained both of them.

However, this wasn’t the same awkward or the hatred one.

It was peaceful since both men had lived their share of life. Many misunderstandings were resolved, and the decision was made.

Since they both had to let go of the biggest baggage, I took some time too.

Charles had to accept that he was a father now...whereas, Jack will have to surrender his children and wait for his death to arrive.

In the end, he can unite with his late wife... two new phases are going to start at this point.

In the end, to ease the silence, Jack had only completed before leaving and said, “I will see you at the court on the day of divorce. Good night..”
