"I..I..

"

n

"I asked you something.. Mr. Brown, do you accept defeat or NOT!?

" Slightly raised his voice, he waited patiently for Austin to either reply back or to attack back.

nBut it was clear that he wasn't in any position to attack back now. The only option with him was to accept defeat.

nWith a gloomy face, hatred in his eyes, Austin finally confessed with a lot of unwillingness,

"I..do accept..

"

nHis teeth gritted in anger but the same brought a wide smile on Javier's face. Instantly, he removed his sword from his neck and put it behind.

"Good to hear.

"

nWith this, he extended his hand to the fallen Austin, indicating to help him get up since his entire face was already red because of the tiredness.

nYet, brushing his hand off, Austin stood on his own, staring into Javier's eyes with a lot of fierceness. But it was of no use since Javier already proved himself.

nBut in contrast to his frosty expressions, Javier replied with a smile,

"You are no less, Mr. Brown. It was nice to have a fight with you.

"

nAustin didn't feel like answering him anymore. His eyes glanced at Javier from top to bottom, with his unstable emotions flooding in his mind.

nWhat does this man have?! Why is he able to defeat him so easily?!

nThere were many questions raised in his mind. Standing in front of him, both the men looked tall as any bodybuilder.

nYet, the silence between each other broke when Jennifer yelled in enjoyment,

"finally! Javier!!! You won!

"

nWith This, Jennifer ran in his direction where she hugged him with her hands around his neck.

nThe sudden outbreak of hers, made Javier take a step back but a faint smile plastered on his lips,

"You are right… I won...

"

n

"Hmm... I knew you will.

" her confidence in him was something soothing to his heart.

nSubconsciously, his hands wrapped around her pity body and pressed their body together, without any shame in front of everyone.

nThe moment between them was precious, but no one had any idea how. Both of them were utterly confused but maintained a silence, engaging in each other's embrace.

n

"Ahem...

" Hannah coughed, to gain the attention at there are others too, who wish to talk to him.

nAs if the cough was enough to bring Jennifer out of the daze, she looked at those around her.

n

"I...I..m.. you guys talk!

" lowering head, she moved back from Javier which gained laughter from not only Charles but also from Ellen and Ryan.

n'Oh God...' she slapped her forehead to realize what scene she had just created for everyone to see. 'Now, be ready for their team, Jennifer..'

nAt this stage, everyone showed Javier a thumbs up for his performance just now. Although most of them appreciated Austin's efforts as well, Austin was boiling to the next extend.

nHis face was filled with darkness that no one even dared to approach him. It was already making others feel a slight discomfort with him.

n

"Alright! As it will be night over soon here, we all have to start the bonfire. Javier, you can take Jennifer with you to collect the woods. Rest, let us get the bonfire started.

" Hearing his brother, Javier nodded his head.

nKeeping the other stuff of the swords back in the bags and keeping those into the trunk of the car, Javier moved towards Jennifer.

n

"Let us go to the mountains... We need to bring her wood to start the bonfire.

"Jennifer's instantly agreed and both of them made their way to the nearby places to collect the woods.

nJennifer assisted him to hold the woods while others are engaged in their respective work, either it is to make food or to make prepare the fire stones as well.

nBut a certain person wasn't willing to witness such a drastic closeness between the two. His veins were almost on the verge of popping out of his skin with coldness glittering in his eyes.

nAustin's hands were tugged inside his pocket when Emily appeared out of nowhere and faced him with her fake grin,

"You don't like Jennifer getting close to Javier.

"

n

"Frankly, no.

"

n

"Neither do I. Their wild closeness has been irking me. For quite some time, I have seen Javier changing from an animal to a man. But before, he was a being with attitude yet... his attitude is breaking and taking a twist and turns when it comes to Jennifer.

"

nHearing this, Austin's lips were sealed and made into a straight line.

nBut his eyes ran deeper and deeper and narrowed slightly,

"You are here to speak ill about Jennifer?

" Austin asked in the rudest tone.

nBut Emily sensed his anger and doses from the corner of her eyes to see his face,

"No, I'm here to just.. share what we both are going because of them.

"

n

"Come straight to the point, Emily.

"

nAt this pot, Emily's eyes were chilled than any freezing thunder. The shyness was evident on her entire face, so is in her actions.

n

"I do have a plan. Just telling you, this closeness is temporary. Some or other way, l will part their ways, and your competition will be Lucas, not Javier.

"

nHer words were deep, but Austin's brows creased with the time. Not only did he find the girl overconfident but also fake. 'As if.. she has the capacity to defeat Jennifer in any way?'

nHe didn't bring the words on his lips but knew that believing her entirely will be pure stupidity.

n

"Instead of bluffing, why don't you just explain your superb plan which you have.? Probably I can lend some of my help.. to separate them.

"

nThe suggestions words were enough to make Emily turn in his direction while he was gazing at two figures who were laughing and giggling without the care of the world.

n

"I told you, this is temporary. In the end, no matter what, Javier will have to marry me without his wish, and then.. this Jennifer will be yours.

" He glanced in her direction to see Emily's face, averting his eyes.

nThe cold grim was present with suspicious glint.

"Looking forward to the same… As I will not leave any opportunity to separate them at any cost.

"

n

"You won't need to... because things will fall into place when we return back tomorrow.

"
