The Kidnapped Bride-Chapter 569 - 569 Slept with someone!
569 Slept with someone!
Javier tugged Ariana in his bed and placed a small kiss on her forehead. He switched off the night lamp beside the bed and covered her little body with a soft blanket. As if sensing the warmness, Ariana slept more comfortably and a small smirk passed by his lips.
As much as he wanted anyone’s company in his darkest time, she was his best solution to everything. Her presence was similar to a sun in the darkness. He doesn’t know how she does it, probably because she gained her expressions and her excitement from her mother.
The thought of Jennifer ignited in his brain once again and he slipped from the bedroom to walk downstairs. It was in the midnight when everyone had went to their beds. He was least expecting anyone, not even butler or maid. This was the reason he chose this time to come down and have a wine since the one in his mini bar was finished by him in just a few hours.
He was sure today he needed an extra dose to not fall in those haunted nightmares and prepared the butler earlier to bring a large stock of the wines. Javier walked to the large bar in the drawing room where he opened the drawers and cupboards but his eyes didn’t find the one which he had been looking forward to.
A frown creased his forehead in annoyance, until light steps entered in his ears, “Are you looking for this, Javier?” He turned around to find Emily standing with his wine in her hand. More proactively, she was wearing a nightgown sticking to her body perfectly. A chilly glance downed her and Emily bit her lower lip in nervousness.
“Give it back to me.” Javier said, in much less joly tone but she ignored, “How much wine, Javier?”
“None of our concerns, Emily. Don’t test me.” he said and walked to her. Emily’s mind went numb on his walking steps until he roughly snatched the wine bottle from her hand to find himself a glass near the top.
However, Emily wasn’t willing to give up so easily on her motive, where she found her day to be best. One day where Javier Johnson would be weak as a rabbit. ‘His emotions won’t be in total control and must be in need of someone.’ Adjusting her dress, Emily stood next to him which least bothered him.
“Where is Ariana?” she inquired in hope to strike a conversation to gain a plague reply, “Sleeping in room.”

“I think we should make her sleep in her own room. She is already old enough to sleep alone now. Four years should sleep in different room like William.” Emily pressed the matter but Javier ignored her like thin air.
Until now, Javier least reacted but she took silence as a yes’, “Considering her age, she must learn like others. That will make her feel less different from all of us. Why not I tug her to bed tomorrow so that she can g-” then her eyes met with Javier who was glaring at her with his murderous aura.
Emily gulped in fear and found her back sweating badly. If not for the strong grip on the bar counter, her legs must have betrayed her badly, “You ar-re n’t thinking about her wellbeing, Javier. She’s a girl, need to be less dependent on her p-”
“Don’t get noisy, Emily before I snap and break your neck. Indulging my daughter in this will make your situation worse than what it already is.” Javier lost a cup that was effective in her mind. She had thought that maybe Ariana could be used as bait. Unfortunately, that four year old grew much wiser than she imagined.
‘This man has transformed her like himself!’ Ariana being young, could easily see through someone’s bad intention. Sweet words did not inject her and getting favors out of her got more hard. Emily gritted her teeth in realization but getting self motivated from her interest, she took a deep breath and finally placed her hand on Javier’s hand on the counter top.
“Javier...” sweetly like a moan, she called his name but instantly, Javier plucked his hand away and his burning gaze sent chills again. But this time, she had literally touched the last thing of patience in his mind as Javier threw the glass on the floor, spilling the entire wine. Shattered glass poured on the tiles but the sudden outburst of noise pulled the attention of all the members
Everyone walked to the location and followed the sudden noise of breaking something, but Javier had his eyes fixed on Emily, “Don’t play with me Emily! I have already warned you that rather to test my patience, you should stay away from me before i snap your neck!”
“Do you think I won’t do it just because you’re living in this mansion now. You are here for a reason and that reason must be well suited to you!” His harsh words brought tears to the lady’s eyes, “Y-You...javier..I was trying to console you. This day...you need so-”
“I don’t need anyone out of you!” Javier’s veins were popping out of his skin where fury reflected on his face. “Don’t forget, Emily where you stand and what you have done with everyone!”
“I..”
“Emily, are you forgetting with whom have you slept?! Do you want me to remind you that! You’re staying here for a reason and that reason is William. Stop using your child. If you dare bring Ariana in this as well, you are surely not going to stand me here and talk with you!”
“But all I wanted was your welfare!!” Emily yelled on the top for lungs, letting those tears trace her cheeks. But in response, she received a scoff from the cold man who viewed her as nothing but an object.
“Is that so? Then you are most welcome to leave the mansion this instant if you have forgotten your previous actions!”
