Back to the present.

Javier lifted his eyes to stare at her, which seemed purely hollow.

As if she was absolutely not aware that such kind of bomb will be dropped over her head.

"Yes, Jennifer.. This is the pure reason why.. I fell for you. At the same time, I saw you, you took my interest. I found you like any fascinating thing and ended up doing crazy things. But.. unknown to me, these things were just the initial stage of my love interest turning into the deadly nightmare of ending up in the one-sided hidden love for you..

"

Javier wasn't the least guilty of the same. And Jennifer could take notice of the same from his mere glint that showed no level of unwanted drama.

"T-then.. why did you not reveal that one back in those days!?

" She could vividly remember the time when she got drunk days before she was going back to her state.

She was distressed about the wedding bells for her when her career was at the beginning of taking flight in the sky.

Javier lowered his eyelids,

"I-I was scared. A girl like you, will definitely or accept me.. as your lover. No, you were amazing. Whereas I.. had also failed one year

"

"Yo-you did that for me.. not it intentionally..

" Jennifer's voice was met with hiccups while she tried to hold her tears off the edge of her eyes.

This wasn't a mere revelation but beyond what she could receive till yet.

Javier didn't reply to her words, but deep down he knew that this could be one of our biggest drawbacks.

If he had done that proposal back in those days, the entire scenario at his part might be different.

But then, he looked at her face to say,

"You were from a different state whereas I was from this… it was almost impossible for you to agree..

"

"Yet you never tried,

" Jennifer mumbled in between her breaths when he nodded his head. Noting his silence, she opened her mouth to ask

"So.. what did you go ahead? Talked with your father…?

"

"What was I supposed to do? Made the perfect plan by taking the help of my brother and father. You were correct, their sole purpose was to get his bride to torture her and blackmail Lucas. Whereas, I wanted my love… maybe a few days or a time of our own, to just showcase myself and my feelings for you.

"

"If I had told you before this.. you would have run off or.. would he shut me down from you. I'm sorry for that, for hiding this major thing from you and knowing myself, this can be counted as the worst mistake I committed till yet..

" Javier finished saying but this only brought the tinge of tears to her eyes.

Those beautiful eyelashes were carrying the tinge of water, where she found it extremely difficult to not show her inner self.

However, in contrast to her emotions, Javier was also shocked to see her expressions.

His eyes widened when he stared at her face when she shook her head.

"I-i..am sorry..

"

"Hey!

" Javier immediately lifted her face with his fingers to make her look into his eyes with the same fierce gaze that almost made her heart skip a beat.

"I told you not to make you cry. Stop crying otherwise I will drink those tears out of your eyes. Trust me, I will..

" Javier's firm grip and the authentication over her, made her lips curve into a smile despite the teary and red like face

"Y-you are really bad!

" She hit his chest with her fist but it was way too light to impact him.

Without using a single word anymore, he took her into his embrace to give her kisses on her forehead from time to time.

"I did wrong..

"

"You are so bad! Because of you, I had to go through so many emotions..

" she can't meet him the first time, since he came near her to only kidnap her, that too on her wedding day...

He took her out of the mess, which she wished to do as well. Bringing her to an island and he did come to his plan.

His techniques worked in the right path where she has perfectly ended up falling for this bastard, whom she could claim to be her husband as well.

"But.. this wasn't the biggest mistake you did Javier.

" She mumbled in the softest tone but enough to make Javier down.

"Is there any other worst thing I did?

"

"Hmm…

" Jennifer answered when she dived her face on his chest to feel the warmth and closed her eyes.

But Javier had the urge to ask and learn about the same.

"May I know what have I done to upset you?

"

"The event with that bitch Emily. But it gives me relaxation that the engagements were a sort of act of yours. I know the marriage isn't' on the cards in this life..

" she told in a relaxed tone, which was in total contract to Javier's stiffed body and frozen expressions.

Gulping the saliva present in his mouth to stare at the koala like the girl who acted courtesy but that almost made his heart be attacked with thousands of arrows.

"Y-you are sure that I will not marry anyone else other than you, right?

" He asked, trying hard to not let his father's thoughts cross his mind anymore and she simply nodded.

But her next words were like a bomb over his head,

"I trust you enough.

"

Javier didn't say in respect of this. All he does is caress her hair lightly with his soft hands and let her rest her face into his body.

There were no exchange of words anymore, but the things complicated when tons of things started to revolve around inside his mind.

But his eyes were already covered with the uncomfortable mists, 'You shouldn't trust me, Jennifer … at least not the blind trust of yours…'
