The Kidnapped Bride

Chapter 535: Sister is Alive!

“Charles!”

“Shouting my name will not change the reality, Mr. Shawn Johnson.” Charles’s eyes furrowed with cold glare as he stared at his father.

There was an intense battle of gazes between the father and son duo and neither of them backed off. However, when Charles gave him a soft nod, it broke many guards of Mr. Johnson.

Meanwhile, Shawn was drowning in the pit of fire where his eyes turned fierce. “Shirley is...?”

“She is cheating you over the years yet you weren’t aware about that? Too bad. But I don’t blame her, after all, you are an old man now.”

Javier left no stone to embrace Shawn as he found his father feeling the bucket of cold water poured on his head. Shawn wasn’t able to absorb when he heard about Shirley and his focus shifted on the ground.

“This isn’t any prank to anger me to the death, is it?” Shawn was still in a very much dilemma but Charles didn’t let him overthink, “Do you think we’re so free to come here and face you in the middle of the night? If you think like this then you should stop thinking so highly of yourself.”

.....

At this point, Shawn had started to lose the color of his face. He could feel the fire inside his heart turning into a rage.

How can Shirley cheat on him so easily? And was she cheating on him for many years? ‘But as far as I remember, there were no records of her outside....’

Every moment occurred in Shawn’s mind. He couldn’t help but feel goosebumps on his skin as he recalled the time when he had cheated on his wife with Shirley. It was a time which he would never forget in his life.

After all, that broke the family he cherished and it cost him to separate from his wife...

Shawn was living in his own dreamland and a smirk pulled on Javier’s lips. As he noted the downcasted shoulders of his father who was used to acting mighty, everything made his heart blossom with joy.

“So now that you do know you weren’t the only one she wanted to live with. So bad for you. However you deserve this. I must say, you were made a cuckold, MR. SHAWN JOHNSON!”

“Your ex-wife, my mother, is feeling great joy in heaven now that she has heard about this. Your misery is actually the destiny which you deserve.”

Javier’s words cut Shawn’s heart. He had no strength left in his weak body since both his kids were bent on torturing him.

All he got was the food to eat and water to drink. He had no idea for how long he had been put in this room and not seen the sunlight of the day.

‘This Shirley! This bi*tch actually dared to pull a trick on me?’ all these muddled up thoughts clashed his brain. There was no way he would be able to accept such a slap on his face!

“Both of you..are your sources confirmed?” Shawn’s deep voice only made Ryan say, “We don’t do foul talks. You were just the key to her plan. She had actually asked one of her lawyers to draft a deed which states that after your death, everything will fall under her name and your children will not receive a single cent.”

“But recently, the news flooded that she had asked him to change the context. The reason Shirley is eagerly seeking your arrival is all because she wants your signature on documents which will immediately transfer everything of yours to her this moment, before your death. She can’t even wait anymore for your death, Johnson.”

Ryan’s blunt words acted like a knife thrashing his heart into pieces. Infact, his eyes were now filled with water.

But these weren’t the tears. It was the hatred, jealousy and anger which were entangling together and ready to burst on anyone’s head anytime.

But this wasn’t the reason Javier and Chalres were here.

Charles was standing with a full domining aura and turned around to look at his brother who also blinked his eyes twice at him. This was the look he waited for.

At last, Charles finally made a move towards Shawn who wasn’t any longer looking at their faces. Charles was keeping his hands tugged in his pocket until he pulled one of his hands out to lift Shawn’s chin up and draw his attention to his mockery for him.

“Since you already know about her, why don’t you spill the beans on the shady things she has done till now? You have protected her as well as your wife but that doesn’t mean we haven’t got to hold on to her shabby activities.” Charled pulled the string in Shawn’s eyes.

A mist of layer appeared in Shawn’s eyes, as he pushed his lips, “Shabby things...”

“Drugs, guns and men. Tsk, you weren’t aware about the last one but there was no need.” Chalres told.

“You want to know more....about past....” Shawn mumbled under his breath before he moved his face to the left and not looked back into Charles’s deep eyes which were aiming to pull his soul out.

But at this point, something struck inside Shawn’s brain. As he recalled some harsh truths that he had kept hidden since ages, was it time to reveal everything?

‘I have hidden her...despite not loving her. Should I disclose since she is to backstabbing me?’ Shawn’s face was turning gloomy on reciprocating his past actions which weren’t easy.

Yet Javier caught the notice of his not so innocent looks, “You are hiding something grave. Tell us before we rip your heart.” Javier’s warning worked better on Shawn who gazed and lifted his head again.

This time, there is no guilt, unhappiness. There were no expressions on his face which could have given him any hint about what was traveling in his mind.

Shawn’s eyes furrowed as he opened his mouth to say, “Indeed, I’m hiding something grave. And both of you will be shocked by this.”

‘What is it?” Charles asked.

Shawn’s face turned into a killer smile which wasn’t even reaching up to his face,”Do you remember the sister whom you lost the moment she was born?” 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

“She is actually alive.”
