The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 83 - Stolen By Smiths!

Stolen? And that by Lucas's ancestors? This was somehow possible in her eyes because she knew how his family genes are…

They can go to any length to get the precious things in their hands, without any ground of morals.

"So… they kidnapped it form you. But you guys never said anything in return. I mean that is your property right?" Jennifer asked with a straight face and Ellen too nodded at her question.

It was right to say that it was theirs but the backstory is too deep. "The gem isn't any ordinary one. It was found in the land of these states. At that time, the entire place was under the control of no one else but the Johnsons. There was a monarch before it converted into a democracy."

"The Queen of the Johnsons.. of that time, felt a sweet addiction towards the gem. Most of the tales describe that it isn't simply ruby, nor was the Queen a mere human. Some call her a Witch who stored powers in the ruby and some to say it was descended to the next queen and the daughter in law."

Jennifer carefully heard the entire story with an interesting attitude. The more she learned about the ruby, she more he felt a sudden attachment to it.

But with the exact time, no one can deny that it had captured her interest and a sudden longing to see the stone herself.

Ellen continued which occupied her mind, "With the passage of time, another empire came in knowing. It was said that the man had five children, four sons, and a single and youngest daughter who was still a child. He lost his wife and due to the same, at the childbirth of his last children. Because of the same, his love for the daughter was immense."

"On their way to someplace, they stopped in our states to pay a visit. At that time, the past lady of the state was.. Javier's mother."

"The King of another Kingdom decided to make a stop at our state, along with his children. At that time, Lady loved the daughter like her own but… after a few days the daughter had to return back with her father."

A tinge of sadness was spreading all over her heart when she thought of how close and good-hearted woman Javier's mother was.

She wanted to ask in the middle but controlled herself and waited until he described the event with each detail more clearly.

Her eyes were fixed at Ellen's face, with attentiveness in her actions. Ellen was surprised by her interest and found it quite amazing.

"You do wish to know more?" He asked her once again, hoping to receive a shook because it was really not that interesting.

But to his surprise, she vigorously nodded her head and her eyes glowed.

"All right." Ellen cleared his throat and averted his gaze back at the painting and the picture of the ruby which hung on the wall. "At the end when the daughter became so close to the last lady, the last lady decided to give the precious ruby to the young and small child. She never had any daughter and in the end, she declared that her daughter will be the daughter-in-law of the Johnsons in the future."

"Moreover, young master Javier also shared a close relationship with the young girl. She was really cute as described by others as if the most beautiful thing on the entire Earth."

Hearing so much praise for the small child, her stomach churned. Her urge to meet the same lady after years began to rise. All of the sudden, her interest deepened in the specific daughter of the empire.

'Javier was close to someone… in his childhood and now he has a fiance. Are they both the same person?' Remembering Emily, her mood turned gloomy.

She doesn't know why but for some unknown reason, the thought of Emily being the same daughter was absurd.

"So… the same lady was destined to be the Johnsons' bride and it was decided by the last lady?" She asked in a kind of unsure voice.

"You are correct. But things were very much unfortunate. The compliance in the relationships between Mr. Johnson and his wife.. made many things turn up and down."

"With the passage of time, the ruby was finally given to the daughter of the empire but later on.. we all heard that the daughter of the empire died. The father was furious and all the brothers were searching for her but failed. Until now the lady must have been around twenty-five or twenty-six."

Jennfier was in a daze. She was too much affected and irked by knowing that Javier was always a lady's man. Since childhood, he had someone fixed as his bride and now a fiance.

"I...I.. thought that Emily… is the one who has the ruby.." she commented when Ellen shook his head. "No, she isn't. Never can that lady be equal to the daughter of the emperor. Everyone says she was the eternal and heavenly beauty and there was a small band around her arms." She frowns.

A deep few curved on her forehead but she didn't prey much into the history anymore after knowing the last conversation. The last statement was somewhat disturbing. "So.. how can Lucas have the ruby want them now?"

Ellen adjusted his collar and looked around himself. "Well… the daughter was kidnapped and also.. the ruby vanishes. After a few years, we all realized that it is with Smiths and somehow most of the people believe that the daughter is also in the state of Smiths but.. who will tell the truth?"

She agreed. From the entire story she heard from his mouth, it was evident that the daughter must be there in her own state.

"Then… This is how the ruby is with Smiths.. hm… but I never saw it.."
