The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 97 - Sufferings

It was already near midnight when Javier's phone rang which was lying on the side table. Since both of them were in deep slumber, no one was able to pick it up.

But the second time it rang, Javier's eyes slightly opened when he managed to grab the phone and check out the dialer.

His half-closed eyes read the name, he immediately picked it up but didn't speak anything ahead.

Instead, he turned around slightly to see Jennifer, who was still sleeping without the care of anything in this world.

He was glad that she wasn't disturbed and didn't abruptly wake up by the caller tune.

In the end, Javier removed the blanket from his body and got up on his foot. Wearing sleepers, he stepped out of the room, closing the door behind him, without making any choice and glancing at Jennifer's side to make sure that she doesn't feel his absence.

When he arrived in the living room, he brought the phone near his ear, "Brother. This late?"

"Yes. You said that you will tell me everything but it has been two days since you arrived and I have no idea what you are currently doing. I'm your brother, Javier. At least tell me what you are exactly thinking and planning to do."

Charles sounded too worried and Javier scratched his head a little bit, guilty of not contacting him.

"Sorry, brother... I had no time to contact you and tell you.." he didn't give a much longer explanation. Keeping it short and crisp, Javier heard his brother's shocking state, "Come down. I'm under your apartment."

Hearing their word, he moves to his window and removes the curtains, to see his brother's car standing down the building.

He knew that his brother might have come straight from the company to meet him but it was really tiring due to the delay in the timings.

'He must be doing it over time for sure, otherwise, he wouldn't have shown up so late and asked me to talk and converse.'

In the end, Javier walked down the building through the lift and walked near his brother's car.

As it was late already, the deep silence engulfed the entire place. The air was thick and somehow the temperature was cold because of the drop in the meter in the environment.

His brother was standing with the support of his white Audi. Using a cigar to ease out his stress, Javier already guessed that his mood was not great either.

"How have you been, brother?" He asked politely to receive a death glare, "You are asking me this? When you left me alone in that villa and living here, in such a peaceful place?"

"But.. not like you wanted to. I told you to buy the same apartment yet you are persistent to not.." he reminded his brother when Charles simply rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I do remember but what was wrong in living with all the members? That would have been greater! At least you would have heard them as well."

A chuckle escaped through his lips when the narrowed words of his brother entered his ears.

But his laugh wasn't appreciated by Charles at all. "You find this funny? Come and live under one roof with those two idiocy people, you will definitely understand what headache means."

"I love my life and I don't wish to have any kind of tension unlike you who loves to serve dad as his president puppet." As expected, cold mist passed through Charles's eyes.

It is evident that he wasn't in any mood to joke around.

When Javier noticed his dull expression, a frown settled down his forehead, "What happened, is there something serious you should discuss with me? you don't look good."

"Things aren't as good as we always think them to be. That Shirley is for sure planning something big behind our back. Moreover, are you aware of what Father has asked Smith against that hostage?" Javier nodded his head in return.

"I know. Do you think that the old man will take such a crucial decision without consulting me?"

"Hah!" A scoff left his lips when he pulled his hand through his hair once. Charles was purely frustrated with the current position. "We got a big deal abroad. It is huge. But Smiths are once again intervening in our work! I feel like killing him with my hand itself!"

Javier looked interested to know more. But from his brother's face, he can feel that getting brief detail wasn't much of a problem.

Moreover, his arrival this late straight from his company will not be there to discuss the deal and the stuff about the business world.

Rather, there must be a big reason to the same for sure.

Javier too came near him and stood beside him. As both the brothers looked above their head, in the sky, some thought related. "Mom must be seeing us from there." Javier suddenly said.

As the comment brought a smile to Charles's face too. He removed the cigar from his mouth to say, "She must have regenerated into someone else. She has suffered too much, hopefully wherever is she..she is happy and living her life to the fullest "

Javier too nodded his head. Their mother suffered too much, and he can't even imagine himself putting in her shoes.

She was wrong, somewhere she was. Where she should have taken the right step to leave, their mother stubbornly stayed, hurting herself even more.

But shifting the topic a little bit, Charles looked at Javier with narrowed eyes. "So? What is between you and that.. Lucas bride."
