The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 141 - History Repeating Itself

There was proper silence in the environment with no one uttering a single word anymore. Shawn's words left a deep impact, not only on Javier but on others too.

The meaning behind his words was deep which made Javier's fury reach its peak. The drop in the entire room was evident and no one can deny that they are expecting an outburst from either side.

Javier stopped eating the food in the middle and stared at his father with unstable emotions. "You are trying to fix my engagement with this girl?"

The tune was rude but it didn't offend Shawn. "She isn't any girl but your soon-to-be wife. Your marriage has already been fixed, Javier.."

"Did you ask me about it?" Javier asked, with an unreliable voice.

The coldness glimmered in his eyes and the frown curved on his forehead. Even Charles can feel that his brother was on the verge of letting his fury take over his brain.

Shawn seemed displeased with Javier's attitude from the start and this added to the existing burning fire, "Is there anything to discuss? We fixed this engagement since it will benefit all of us in the business and Emily is a nice girl."

In return, Javier let out a sarcastic laugh in front of everyone. It was no hidden fact that he was laughing at the last state of declaring Emily as a nice girl. "Oh God…. how innocent you are. Do you find this lady as an innocent person? So funny…"

"Javier, how can you say this to me? What have I done to not prove my innocence?" Emily asked with a timid voice but in that, she expressed her anger too.

It wasn't only humiliating but a strong blow to her self pride as well.

Despite that, she tried her level best to maintain the fake smile which she does to act as the loveliest and sweetest person.

Instead of answering Javier didn't bait her even an eye to her. Instead, he looked at his father with utmost mocking eyes, "Aren't you exactly trying to do, the thing which happened between you and mother.?"

"Javier!" This time Charles raised his voice, to remind his dear brother to not drag their mother into this.

Since she was dead, he wishes to respect it in that specific way, but Javier has more to say, "Why, brother?! Isn't the same situation arising now?"

"Weren't you and mother also in an arranged marriage? Or shall I say, you asked for our mother's hand in marriage in exchange for money and…" Javier didn't feel like he needed to complete the sentence since it was already known to each one.

The hidden message had already been conveyed through his words.

Moreover, his father has experienced the same thing, and yet he was wishing to impose the same on him?

Was it even fair? He didn't think so at all.

"You are much wiser than me." That was all that he spoke when Javier shut his mouth since his brother was passing consecutive glances in his direction to not speak and reveal much about their much.

With a lot of reluctance, he did stop himself from saying a single word anymore regarding the matter. His words did leave a deep impact and that was all he was asking, not to let history repeat itself.

Shirley was witnessing the entire scene and had so much to spout. The opportunity was right too since Shawn was in fury and anger.

But somehow she realized that Javier's words weren't the only thing that made him angry.

'He is still thinking about his ex-wife…' How much did she try to let that woman's absence be not felt to him anymore yet her presence and dreams never faded out of his mind at all?

The vein of Shawn's hand was popping out. He stood on his toes, from his chair and yelled, "You are challenging me!?! Don't compare your situation with us!"

"Why not?" Slowly and surely he stood up facing his father's face, which showed evident anger.

Keeping his chin high, "As the same situation has arisen, why shouldn't I? It is no joke to say that this lady isn't as innocent as her mother and neither am I in love with her. For your business, haha. You can marry her yourself then because I have no interest in this alliance!"

"I'm your father and I have the right to decide what is good for you or not!" Shawn's words already made Javier irked, "Probably you do, but are you forgetting that I attainted my legal adulthood long before? Neither did I need you back in those days, nor this time... remember my words, Mr. Johnson."

His words were clear-cut explanations in the most simple words to make the words fit in Shawn's head.

Hsi intentions were crystal clear but it makes sense and patience to understand, exactly what Shawn obviously lacks.

"This is my House, Javier! In this house, everything will go as I say and you will follow the same!! Understand that!"

"Then let me remind you that.. half of the land and this villa's will was also under mothers name and it is still under me and Charles so… show this attitude to someone who's already following your actions and agrees to your dictatorship, not to someone like me..."

With this, Javier immediately pulled himself away from the dining table. Tearing his fierce gaze away from his father he made his way back in the yard, despite the calls from his father and brother from the back.

To clear his mind he needs space, otherwise, there is surely something breaking in this villa tonight.
