The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 74 - A Message From Johnsons

At the same time, Lucas was getting ready in his room. He chose formal workwear for the day, a black lavish coat along with black pants. Pairing it with branded shoes, he looked no less than any model.

Suddenly, the door was wide open and his man entered, the one who handled all his wrong work and is known to be his hand in crime... "Good morning sir.."

"Good morning, Vlas. What exciting news have you bought for me today?" Lucas adjusted his tie a little bit while standing in front of the mirror.

Meanwhile, Vlas was nervous as hell. His entire face was covered with sweat with each second passing as a bomb.

Somehow, he was able to gather all the courage to speak with Lucas for now. "We got to know something about Ms. Jennifer.."

"You have my ears, Vlas. Straight To the point." There was no change in his facial expressions. It was calm as before, but Vlas realized this calmness was before the storm approached.

Taking a deep breath, he laid the information which he received. "The killers we sent were unsuccessful in their mission. Ms. Jennifer escapes along with Johnson's heir, Javier Johnson."

The drop in the temperature was evident. Vlas hasn't completed his words till yet, still, Lucas's eyes turned bloodshot already. The Johnson's name was enough to set him in the fire.

"Proceed."

"Our man came back but they told us that he escaped in a chopper so we concluded that it must be their private helicopter. So, our team decided to keep an eye over them and our secret sources told us.. that the same chopper had landed in... Johnson's state."

Vlas noted how strangely Lucas's expressions changed. One moment he was alright but a second after, the fury lingering on his face.

"So...you mean to say that Jennifer is currently in Johnson's land?" he asked once again, for confirmation in his chilled voice to receive a nod from his side. "Y..yes Sir. Ms. Taylor is currently in Johnson's clutches and their land as well."

Cold glimmer passed through his eyes which gained with dangerous glint. It was freight to witness such a deep change in him.

Still, Vlas didn't run away from the room, even though he himself was surprised by his bravery to stand here, without moving his legs due to the violent waves of anger that Lucas was going to omit in his direction.

Instead of spouting and waving anger at him, Lucas started laughing while holding his stomach. The laugh wasn't as ordinary like before.

It was easy to comprehend that the laugh was out of place. They brought Jennifer in their land was one way to mock his skills, to showcase he is nothing in front of them.

"S...Sir..." Vlas called his name but Lucas didn't bother to reply to him anymore. He can feel something uncomfortable in his heart, which was continuously crawled under his skin with deep shivers.

'Why the hell am I so scared?' he was clueless but, as predicted, Javier roared loudly and threw all the things present on the desk on the ground itself.

"Fuck this! How dare they bring her to the state!?!?! Do they have the wish to die by my hands?!" His aggressive approach wasn't new to him yet the fury was taken on another level.

He never came in contact with Johnsons, due to the peace treaty but, now the sudden kidnapping was giving rise to a new war, between the two states because of a mere girl.

"Sir, we can't do anything right now. I believe they want us to agree to some of their terms and conditions.." that was how they all thought of the current scenario.

Jennifer's kidnapping was no less an issue in the eyes, she was the future Mrs. Smith. Moreover, Lucas, as a strong-headed man, will never let his ego be down like this.

How can he be proven wrong and unskilled as his wife is kidnaped under his nose and he failed miserably?

"Have they contacted us till now?" Lucas finally asked, while gripping the study chair tightly, where his all clothes were wrinkled. His hair was messy because of his anger.

The water had fallen on the ground, broken glasses in which Lucas could see his own face.

Vlas gulled the leftover saliva to reply again, "they will soon contact us. Entering into their field isn't a good idea as well. We can't take that risk without people's security too.."

"I want Jennifer as soon. If they aren't contacting you, contact them directly and say that we are aware of their hands in this kidnapping. A sly person like Mr. Johsons will never decline this because of his self-esteem." Lucas's mind was revolving around Jennifer's arrival back.

His family is pressuring him yet he is trying to brush it off with patience.

But now since Jennifer is in their land, he can't take any risk anymore. Her identity is still hidden but how long will it stay under wrap?

Moreover, his entire plan will be ruined if he doesn't marry her!

But Vlas thought differently. "In the entire country, we have said that you are married. You took vows in a private ceremony. If you say this to Mr. Shawn on your own about your bride's kidnapping and blaming them, I feel sir that they will simply use it against you and this rumor will spread more."

Vlas's words were genuine enough for Lucas to understand. Ye, he wasn't willing to accept the faith written in his life.

Lucas looked at Vlas and somewhat understood his statement as well, "Any other idea? Failure isn't much in my books.. My patience is limited."

"We-" he stopped in the middle to take a look at his tab and opened the video, which was blank. While seeing the address, his eyes widened and straightly averted in Lucas's direction, looking straight into his eyes with alertness

"There is a message from Johnsons's group.. to us."
