The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 20 - Our Daughter?

Amelia was in a deep sea of thoughts when David drew her attention. "Am, we should try to find Jennifer as soon as possible. Don't you remember how Olivia threatened our lives?"

Amelia lifted her eyes to look at her husband who was sitting in the opposite direction on the couch. A scoff left her mouth, after hearing his sentence.

"Do you think that they have that much power to kill us? They might do, but Jennifer will never marry Lucas after that."

"Does Lucas even love her, mother?" Emir asked with a bulk of confusion. All of them assumed that Lucas fell for Jennifer's beauty but to be correct, Emir didn't value that shit at all.

In Emir's eyes, Lucas wasn't like other men who just fall for any lady. He knows the real man behind him, which his parents might not see due to their lust for money.

Neither did Jennifer love Lucas. In fact, she hates him from the bottom of her heart. The amount of hatred in her heart is deeper than the depth of the oceans and seas.

Amelia didn't know how to answer so she just replied with a small sentence, "That is not our concern. If he likes her or not."

"That is surely our concern mother. If he does, he will never think of killing us but if he has any other motive.. trust me Lucas will just kill us mercilessly and no one will question him for his decision."

Just the mere thought of being killed sends shivers down David's spine. He can't imagine being killed at such an early age when he should enjoy his life with his dear wife.

"Y...You are right. We can't predict Lucas's interest at all. He is a dangerous man for all of us. After all, how can we forget that his connections..are something we should always careful of." David expressed his mixed emotions.

But seeing that her husband was scared of the current situation, Amelia really wished to just smack his face with her hands. 'This old man will just fear and not think of the extended situation..' her mood soured.

"Stop predicting the wrong things in your mind. We don't know if Lucas likes her or not but he needs us to marry Jennifer and to find her. After all, who knows if Jennifer will contact us. How will he find her without our help then?"

Amelia can never forget that her daughter wanted them to stop the entire marriage ceremony. In her mind, it was no coincidence that she was kidnapped just a few minutes ago. Was she really kidnapped? Or is this any kind of joke that she played on them?

'After going to the university...Jenifer has changed so much. Nowadays, she started reverting back and revolting her decisions too much. Why is she not like the last time?' Amelia was generous thinking that her obedient daughter had suddenly changed so much into a feisty one.

"So, how are we supposed to get things that Lucas promise us? We need the money and the small company that he planned to give us." Emir brought the main point, which is why they are stressed out.

They aren't receiving what Lucas had promised them to give, in return for his marriage with Jennifer. "Try to contact Lucas.. maybe what if he agrees?"

"He won't be Amelia. He is headstrong that first we should find Jennifer and get him married to her. Who knows what kind of physiological mind he has that is so fixed getting married to our daughter!"

Amelia raised her eyebrows, to look at her husband with a deep gaze. David too looked at Amelia's changed expressions where her face color and demeanor immensely changed.

"Our daughter? Hmm?'' Her words struck David like a whole bucket of ice was dropped over his body because he was startled by shock. Her words remind him of the past, which was so deeply hidden in the graves.

"Am..Am...Amelia..w.." his words halted and shuttered so much that he could only close his lips to not utter even a single word in return. But her words were like a clueless word exchange that Emir witnessed between his parents.

His mind didn't produce when he saw what his parents were talking about. It didn't make any sense to the brain and look at them with his narrowed eyes, "What do you both mean?"

"Nothing dear son. Just keep your mobile phone switched on all the time. By chance Jennifer contacts you, you should be alerted. And my dear husband.." Amelia turned her smiling face in the direction of her husband.

There was a sweet smile on her face which was reaching her eyes but at the same time, it didn't look pleas to see at all. David saw her dangerous glinting eyes, the coldness that she was carrying but their son was too innocent to see it.

"Yes, Amelia?"

"Come in the room. I have something to discuss related to the guests and the other gifts we received." saying this, she left for the room upstairs where David followed her behind.

Emir knew that something was wrong when he saw his parent's back leaving him alone in the living room.

Nothing came out of his words but at the same time, he took out his mobile phone and messaged his dear girlfriend.

EMIR: Meet me at our old place.

His eyes flew to where his parents left and after checking out that there was no one anymore, he made his way out of the house without thinking twice.

Meanwhile back in the room, upstairs, there was complete silence between both people. They didn't take the chance to speak for a few minutes and waited for anyone to break the silence.

There both minds were fixed on various matters but at the same time, their thoughts were linked to one event of the past.

So at last, Amelia took the initiative to say her words out, "You know Jennifer's identity as well. Her kidnapping is not a mere thing."
