The Kidnapped Bride

572 No fancy~

One week passed in a blink and Javier and Ariana was ready to fly out of the country to another country, a place where Javier had met his beloved once.

Sitting inside the private jet, Javier’s eyes traced to look at Ariana who was sleeping peacefully on the other side of the seat. He had covered her with a soft blanket so that she wouldn’t feel the coldness from the drop in the temperature on their plane.

Afterward, Javier’s eyes moved back to look at Ellen who was actually viewing the review reports on his behalf. “Ellen, have you found out about those who sent the invitation to my brother?”

“I saw it, Javier. In fact, it is quite a big one. I never knew that they were owning a huge world empire that covers such a large area and wealth.” Hearing this, Javier frowned. Out of nowhere, the business empire had emerged and they were connected to his mother too.

Strange. “Anything suspicious about them?”

“No, all the records are clean which makes me believe that someone has deliberately hampered them to make them look so clean.” Ellen’s expression changed before muttering, “Both of us have been in this shabby world and know that no one is innocent. Probably they are trying to secure what they have now.”

“Tsk... why act properly in this business world? But despite that, any more information about the family?” Since the day Charles had told him about their wedding invite he had been curious. As far as his imagination went, after their Queen’s death, no one took initiative to have contact with them. Suddenly they emerged and created a huge empire.

Javier found it amusing. He took a sip of his wine and then his warm eyes once again traveled to check on Ariana, who was in deep slumber. Suddenly Javier had turned silent and Ellen followed his sight to find his soft and twitching eyes. ‘I made a perfect choice.’ if only he knew how much annoyance he had to bore once Javier was alone with him.

This man is well-behaved in front of his daughter. No doubt he tortures people, which somewhere is the same in Ariana but she was still a child. He won’t be surprised to see her acting high and cold like her father.

.....

“Javier, there is also an ongoing rumor..” Ellen gained Javier’s attention when the man turned his neck to look at Ellen with furrowed brows, “Rumor? Is it exciting?”

“Out of the brothers, we have found that the eldest brother isn’t the crowned Prince. He is the owner of this biggest empire and currently managing the congruent companies he acquired or built from scratch. Whereas the second son is the crowned Prince and the family of Saskatoon has recently made the headlines with their appearance over the thousand years. If reports are to be believed then we can presume that they always led a lowkey life throughout and suddenly started pushing holes in the limelight. The youngest brother and the third brother are still not very much in public since they like to keep their lives out.

But since the first brother is in public because of his business, he has maintained a cold appearance. His wife is also from one of the known families, though not a royal. However, they already have a son named John and are living together. It is strange that the man has abruptly decided to marry because it was said that they hate the concept of marriage and don’t believe in so anymore”

Ellen’s detailed words caused Javier to fall into a deep dilemma. He never took them as a threat or thought deeply about them. Their sudden change from a Royal family to a business family is also new to accept. ‘What are they looking forward to?’ This question never got its answer.

On the other hand, Ellen noticed the frown on the forehead before saying, “Moreover, I have heard that we can expect an appearance from their sister whom they recently found back.”

“Sister?” Javier’s voice cracked. “Isn’t this the same sister whom they all thought had died along with mother?”

“They did. But suddenly they managed to dig her out and she is alive.” Hearing this, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He didn’t want to admit it but he couldn’t be ignorant of the past relationships between the families due to his mother. ‘Do they want to matchmake their daughter with me and that’s why they want to mend those ties?’ he was doubtful and remained so.

But curiosity never got the better of Javier, who seemed to have lines of thoughts about this not-so-famous daughter. “Is it about this lady?”

“Hmm. Not much since the family is suppressing it. But rumors are hard to kill. As far as they say..she is disgusting and also had a child out of wedlock.” Ellen closed the file and took a sip of the wine lying next to his laptop.

He looked at Javier to find those motions flaunting on his face. Suddenly the air dropped and Javier’s aura also turned chilly. He didn’t want to imagine things but it was hard not to raise a voice, “D-do you feel they have ?”

“What else? A child out of wedlock...they haven’t forgotten the past arrangement, have they?” Javier didn’t wanna admit it, yet his mind could see those black sheep. They were using and bewitching plans to get near him through his brother’s closeness.

It pretty much annoyed him and his eyes furrowed with time. Subconsciously, he moved his face to look at this dear daughter and how her resemblance brought the memories of Jennifer. “I will not let them tamper over my thoughts, Ellen. They can’t succeed and get what they want because my wish is not something they could overlook.”

“B-but what if they aren’t even looking up to your presence this time and have no fancy towards you?”
