nIn The early morning.

nJennifer's eyes opened slightly when she looked at the white ceiling above.

nRotating to another side, the view that came was mesmerizing. The curtains were flying because the window was open and sun rays were coming inside.

nClutching the blanket closer to her body, a faint smile curved on her lips.

n'So warm…' she loved the fluffy blanket's feeling closer to her body. The softness was engulfing her into its warmness.

nBut at the same time, she knew that it was already too late. After a lot of struggle with her mind, finally, her body left the oft mattress and made her way to the dining space to see Javier sitting with two other people.

nThe other two were no one else but Ryan and Ellen, but this early in the morning?

nShe was not only confused but her heart got alerted. The moment her eyes landed on her figure, their attention shifted towards her.

"Jennifer.. you are finally awake. Come..

"

nJennifer walked closer to them with a baby step. Ellen greeted her with a smile while Ryan said,

"Good Morning Ms. Taylor. We finally see each other again.

"

n

"Good morning.

" she too sat on the couch beside Javier and peaked at the facial expressions of every man present in the room.

nSomething was definitely off otherwise they won't have shown up to the apartment this early.

n

"Umm.. is there something important? I mean, this early...

" Seeing her hesitant nature, Javier coughed and spoke in the most serious voice,

"We have a big problem with us.

"

nAs expected, her eyes twisted after hearing the answer. How can she react? Be Happy? No, because now that Javier's mission is hers, she can't be happy with any problem arising in his mission.

nMoreover, if it was a big problem for him then probably, a stone will be put forward in her path as well.

nTaking a deep breath, she finally opened her eyes and looked straight at Javier without blinking her eyes.

n

"What exactly happened? Which kind of problem arose in between?!

"

n

"Jennifer…

" Javier called her name in the huskiest tone and shifted a bit closer to her. Although his acts now were a bit confusing, she didn't say anything at the start, to avoid any kind of wrong judgment from her side. Moreover, she doesn't wish him to be sad, just because of her.

nJavier simply moved closer and finally, sat on his knees. Taking her hand into his, he kept it on her knee and stared into her eyes with an intense gaze.

nThis was the same look, which can already set her soul on fire. The amount of power his gaze held, absolutely she is going to get lost in them and never return.

nHer face started heating up, but somehow she managed to stay calm despite the raging nerves.

n

"Javier….do...don't worry. Just tell me first..

" speaking in a more assured voice, Javier took a deep breath to prepare himself to layout,

"My father...called me early in the morning. I know this might look stupid to you but yes, my father is the current head, not me or my brother.

"

nJenifer nodded her head in agreement, indicating that she is aware of the things for a very long time. This was not new to her because she can see, Javier does have control and much power yet the head was still the elder master Johnson, Javier's father.

nWhen He received a look from her, he continued to say,

"My father does want me to torture you so that you...can rot in our bars and Lucas's heart will melt after seeing you in such a condition.

" Jennifer won't be shocked but she wasn't happy either.

nHer eyes turned gloomy and omitted the old aura. Ellen and Ryan, who were too sitting in the evening, can feel that this lady is a hell of a danger for them. Not only that, her eyes were omitting coldness and aloofness was very much evident on her face.

nSeeing such a drastic change in front of him, Javier immediately added,

"But don't worry, I already talked to my father about that because of the pact we earlier made, had to protect you. He can't even touch you for sure now and you are obviously safe with me.

"

n

"I might be safe with you and with your men but what about being alone? Will your father not try to attack and spare me when I will be alone?

" Jennifer asked with raised eyebrows.

nFor the understanding, she can clearly feel that the man was very much dangerous and she will have to do a lot to gain the trust.

nBut was there any need for trust? Until now, she has immense trust in Javier but not in his family. She can't trust anyone in her entire life, what are his people then?

n

"Well... I promise you that no one can touch you. He will not try something like this until you are in his state and within his boundaries and Lucas can't reach up to you. Technically speaking, if Lucas will try to reach you somehow, he will cage you too and this is just a bonus for you as well..

"

nJennifer passed him a look that she wasn't able to understand.

nA bonus for her? Well, she considered that to be a joke because why will Johnsons help her to safeguard?

nAfter witnessing her puzzled look, he made it brief,

"We get to know that Lucas is trying to reach you through others. So, as you don't wish to get near Lucas, if my father cages you for a few days, that won't be a problem because that in return is helping you to not come into Lucas's hands and keeping you safe, despite my father thinks that is caging but it is a bonus for you to get safe. Everything is normal otherwise, my father will not try something.. dangerous.

"

nShe was happy to learn at least that no one will try to harm her to too much extent.

nAt least living in this state was better, as she was now going to live here and it was better than living to be fearful all the time.

nRelief washed over her head but then, Javier's voice once again entered her ears,

"The problem isn't disclosed till yet.

"

nStill, she kept her hopes high.

"Go Ahead and tell me.

" She wasn't expecting bad news in her heart. Probably how bad the problem can be? She thought but her smile instantly faded when those words entered her ears.

n

"My father wants us to return to the family villa and live there...for some time I Believe...

"
