Chapter 258 - Stealing

The shock was written on her face. No one can deny that it was a big blow to her as her hands automatically started to shiver, "Do you….mean to say that… he is ready to have me against the ruby that..precious jade?"

"Correct. Lucas had agreed to exchange you and the ruby. Although I have my doubts, still..…" Javier wasn\'t fully convinced till this time. Deep down, he was aware that Lucas must be planning something big enough in his mind.

So did he, as his instincts and mind weren\'t panicking even a little. But what concerned him more was how will Jennifer take this situation into? Staring at her face, what he came across was the distantness.

"Jennifer…" calling her name sweetly, he took her hands and allowed them to keep it on his chest, "You don\'t have to worry about that. Now you are my wife... It is my responsibility to protect you."

"It is your responsibility but you have a lot of other things to consider as well…" rotating her head, she faced him with a frown that was she undergoing at this very moment. "What will you do when your parents ask you to give me back? Aren\'t they simply getting the things they actually wanted?"

Hearing her words, Javier\'s lips were sealed. No reply from his side only added to her worry as the guilt was creeping out on her face. "Do you have anything to say?"

"I will finally find an answer to this. There is still some time and I haven\'t even discussed this with my brother and father till yet." Javier was still assured that nothing wrong can happen to his plan.

Yet Jennifer was deadly afraid. Knowing that her parents are too residing in the state now, her will and inner feelings told her that something will go wrong. Her life can\'t be proved so easily and smoothly at all.

A tired sigh escaped her lips when she averted her gaze and shifted her attention to the window, "I don\'t wish to leave you, Javier…"

Her timid voice was enough to be heard by him when he instantly wrapped his hand around his body and kept his head in the pouch of her neck, "No one has the power to separate us. We are a legal couple and you do possess some powers over me as well, legally speaking."

But was she in any situation to take any legal action against Lucas when she is the part of their residence and....she is just merely a hostage who married this man?

Since the rules of both states were part apart, this was somewhat worrisome. Her eyes shined in glitter as sadness was taking over her dear heart, \'How shall I disclose this to you, Javier, that.. my parents are asking me to return back with them?\'

….

In the hotel\'s room.

Austin was currently standing near the window when he held the phone in his hand and dialed a certain number. Bringing it near his ea he heard the call going through the other side but it wasn\'t picked up.

Once again he dialed the same number and after a lot of rings almost on the verge of being hung up again, the person answered, "I will give you a call in the next ten minutes."

"Fast. I don\'t have much patience left with me.." was all that Austin said and hung up. Playing with the phone in his hand, his jaw tightened when he stared at the view outside.

"How beautiful it would be even if I had come here sincerely for the business purpose.." muttering in his breath, he lowered his face when a faint smile covered his lips.

But within ten minutes, his phone rang, which he immediately picked, "Tell me, Olivia."

"At least you should know the timings which are appropriate to call. I was almost caught. Lucas was straightaway in front of me." The unease of hers even extended on hearing Lucas asking, whose call did she pick up.

His smile was wide when a chuckle left out of his mouth, "Is Olivia being afraid of mere Smith?"

"Mere? Are you kidding me?! You haven\'t seen him killing anyone but I do have. I know how these guys torture their people so please don\'t make me sit in the situation which will ruin your as well as our plan."

She was purely revoking his words, not agreeing on word to word which Austin liked. But then he came on the main and prominent topic, "Any news and new updates?"

"Well…" Olivia seemed to get relaxed when she answered back, "Lucas has decided to get Jennifer by hook or cook\'\'

"Not new since he has been crazily after her for quite a time now. Anything else?" Austin seemed bored by her words as his ears are aching to have something new but Olivia only smiled at his irritating voice.

"Eager! Hmm? Anyways, the truth is that Lucas has decided to have Jennifer by hook or crook, even it means that he is planning to fulfill the demands of the Johnsons as well." The words made him quite alert when Austin\'s smirk faded and was replaced with a frown.

"Not kidding right? Johnson\'s last demand was the…"

"Ruby, Smith\'s ruby which has been passed on to the generations to generations. The same which was snatched away from the Johnsons....the Ruby of Johns. You\'re correct. Lucas is willing to fulfill it too."

But Austin\'s frown kept on deepening, "How?! His elders will never agree to that and I\'m sure he cant do it without their support." In his eyes, he found Lucas to be no less than any child.

Yet this was the harsh truth.

On the other side, Olivia checked out her nails when she answered back with a laugh, "Seems you are too overwhelmed to hear this news? A-"

"Olivia, I\'m in no mood to joke. So, tell me right now! How will Lucas give that ruby to Johnsons?!" Austin\'s furious voice was heard from the other side when Olivia\'s smirk widened as the evil glint passed by her eyes.

"By stealing it from the elders."
