âBut what about my family?â
Jennifer canât help but ask since she knew it too well that her heritage and everything was messed up since the time she learned about her parents not being one.
She wasnât related to her biological parents. It triggered her to extreme heights. Moreover, her eagerness to know about everything that took place in the past increased rapidly in her chest.
But on the other hand, Javierâs smile froze when his eyes caught the same shine in her eyes. They twinkled on the topic of her adoptive parentâs history and she wished to learn everything. But how was he supposed to bring out the harshest truth in front of her, especially when the doctor has warned them that she isnât in the position to take any tension and stress?
Javierâs heart gripped with aluminum chains when he took a deep breath.
He didnât let go of Jenniferâs hand before saying it to her face. âThereâs one more thing that you need to know.â
âYes?â Jennifer was keen to know when he glared at her with the utmost seriousness. His love attitude quickly transformed into one of the most serious guys sheâs ever come across.
.....
She doesnât know why but it gave her the instinct to bring wrong feelings to her nerves. âIs there something...wrong?â
âIt is about your parents.â She heard him say and Jennifer doesnât know why but instead of getting excited, she felt an ominous feeling dwelling upon her. She quickly felt her breath getting deeper with each second, âWhat is it?â
Meanwhile, Javier had to take a deep breath. His mind went through a series of questions but he did say to her, âI checked your background but there was no information left about your parents anywhere. It seemed your parents always kept a low profile in their case over years.â
âMoreover, you indeed have a lot of properties under your name but they all are either in a foreign place or in Smith land. The properties are from Johnsonâs land as well. But the fact that these properties were brought straight under your name didnât reflect any name of your parents in them.â
Hearing this, Jennifer frowned. She couldnât believe what she heard from him. Even though Lucas was powerful and wealthy since he compromised the ruby for her which meant she was more worthy than the ruby in his eyes.
Was she even more wealthy than him? Who could be her parents who bought the property for her at such a young age, and not in one place but across the world?
While they are totally unaware of their identity, one thing was sure in their eyes- Jennifer wasnât any ordinary person.
If everyone defines her as a princess, then the probability of her being one was very high. As Jennifer took a deep breath, she lifted her eyelids, âIf that is the case, then let it be. Lucas did everything for the property. I can understand his point of view. But what about my adoptive parents?â
âThey never took the property under their name which means they knew that Iâm a wealthy child. In fact, they never displayed their intention of making me sign any documents. However, their intentions to kill me shows that if Iâm caught with my real family, they will be in deep trouble.â
The images of her being dead appeared in Javierâs mind. Subconsciously, he tightened his grip around her hand as he looked into her eyes,âI donât think there is a need to think about that anymore. You are safe and sound!â
âIndeed.â
âBut Jennifer... it is very hard to know about your parents.â he said as he kissed his wifeâs knuckles again as he dared not to tear their contact, âI know you are worried about many things. It isnât wrong to know about your biological parents either. But that is a thing of the past which we will try to dig up but there are a lot of uncertainties.â
âI donât want you to be upset anymore, at least for us and our children. Let alone who you are, it doesnât matter to me. Iâm all happy with you and you are Jennifer Johnsons now. Thatâs your identity as an individual and as my wife too.â
âWe will build our homes, and you will not need anyone else except our children in your life anymore, my dear wife.â Hearing Javierâs words brought tears to her eyes.
She couldnât help but find herself extremely grateful and blessed in this aspect. Despite so many hurdles, hearing him saying this was worth all the pain she experienced!
It brought relief, and emotional turmoil to go all in one go! Her heart was delighted with happiness that flooded, âJavier...everything will be fine, right?â he nodded his head at this.
âGive me some time. You donât need your parents anymore. Iâm always with you and will safeguard you with my life.â Javierâs eyes curved into a crystal moon as his smile reached up to his ears.
His eyes didnât divert his attention from her at once as he declared,âAfter all, you are mine..and just mine, my baby girl. No one can harm you and I will take care of that...â
...
In the abandoned building, the man with gray hair stood in front of the two people who were kneeling down. His aura was imposing on others as he glared at the two people fiercely.
He held a gun in his hand that was already loaded and ready to kill whenever required.
However, he wasnât alone. With him stood two different men who werenât gentlemen either. Their face wasnât less than that of God, but their eyes matched with the devil.
The words werenât enough to describe how intimating the environment was around them, but the old man was the first one who questioned the two people.
âTell me... why had you kidnapped Jennifer twenty-five years ago?â
