The Kidnapped Bride

549 Another truth?!

Shirley’s blood turned cold. “I don’t know where they are!”

“I’m pretty much sure they are nearby and watching you loose your mind. They must be worried. After all, they dote on you so much. How can they bear to see you lose your life?” Charles’s sarcastic yet warning-filled speech triggered Shirley.

She wanted to dig a hole and shrink to hide her grief. While she received the worst news of her life, she was on the edge of being killed down by these two!

“Father! Brother! Please me out..please save me....”

“Please...come...” ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Shirley’s voice turned timid and in trial, it lost its strength. Tears flooded through her cheeks but no one turned themselves in front of the brothers.

Since the patienceness was leaving the shore, Javier finally gave the ultimatum, “If they don’t come till I count five, don’t say we were ruthless Shirley...”

Shirley didn’t react and only closed her eyes. Her heart hammered against her chest. She clenched her fingers, not expecting anyone to show up anymore. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

“5.....4....3....2...”

.....

“Wait!”

A sudden voice interrupted Javier. He lifted his eyes and Charles turned aound to face two men emerging from the door of the room. While the young man was holding a gun in his hand too, the older man was all free.

“Who are you?” Charles asked and his face turned cold. Heavy silence regained the room and only Charles’s voice echoed.

“The one you’re looking for....” the older man commented and Shirley regained her composure on seeing the familiar face in front of her eyes, “Father!! Please save me from them...I don’t wanna die...”

“Shh..my child, you will not die...” the old man consoled her via his words, yet his gaze seemed unmoved from Javier and Charles’s face.

He was old by face, yet his actions and aura remained unmatched. It was right to say he was the old head of such a large organization. A perfect person to deal with all the hate crimes.

Charles raised his brows to ask, “So you’re the one who got our mother killed along with your son, Davis....” The man couldn’t help but say, to which the man didn’t answer.

However, a not so young man beside him muttered, “She deserved to die the moment she rejected me and came in the path of Shirley....”

“What do you mean?” Javier couldn’t help but ask since something seemed absurd in this. Didn’t they kill their mother because Shirley wanted her out of her path? How come Davis is related to their mother?

It didn’t make sense and something turned into curiosity in the brother’s eyes.

As expected, the current head of the Phoenix group didn’t keep them in black light either. He lifted his sapphire eyes to survey the brothers from bottom to head, finding them a true copy of their father and holding their mother’s features.

“Alice refused to be with me when I asked her out. Why? Because she was married to your father. If she couldn’t be mine then how can I let her stay alive and be with Shawn Johnson too when he leaves Shirey behind?” David revealed without holding any significant amount of emotions.

It was all plain, a hoarse voice associated with an arrogant and aggressive approach.

Meanwhile, both the brothers were stunned. Their heart froze and missed a beat on hearing the explanation. However, they didn’t dare to pass each other any more glances and move their eyes. A single mistake could ruin them at this point....

They covered up their expressions pretty well. Nothing could be detected from their actions, except the intent of killing...

“Doesn’t matter to us..” Charles suddenly not only spoke but also muttered, “Put your gun down otherwise your sister will be meeting our mother heaven now.”

“Do you think of us as fools, Charles Johnsons?” This time, the older man spoke while concerned for Shirley “Leave her first.”

Neither duo said anything regarding this. Everyone’s heart was already ready to decode any moment in each minute. The air became heavy and breathing halted. Shirley switched her eyes between her brother and Charles, and did not find any solution.

But Javier and Charles had a plan in their mind when they took a deep breath.

They didn’t need to look at each other either. All they did was to hold the gun firmly in their hands and without finding any second, Charles pulled the trigger aiming at David’s hand and Javier fired at the old man.

“Agh!”

The father son duo collapsed on the floor. One was holding his hand and the other held his leg. “You both!!”

“Father!” Shirley screamed seeing this. Her eyes widened and her breath came to halt. “No.... no...please no!”

At this point, Javier and Charles took action immediately. They ran in their direction and first of all took their guns away. Secondly, they pulled the other men likewise and tied them to a chair.

Now, the entire family was tied against the chair with the ropes too tight for them to handle. Their heart was beating badly and the blood scattered all over the floor.

“Javier! Charles, both of you promised that you will let me go!”

“Did we?” Javier raised his eyes to shrug his shoulders. He didn’t pay attention to the family while walking back to Charles to whisper something and Charles responded by saying, “They are coming with what we need. It will be enough for them.”

Now, the fear of known and unknown was making their heart engulfed with fear yet again. Worry began to consume them with every step that Javier took.

They saw two more people coming and Ryan handed them a bottle, “This is what you asked.” Ellen held the two more cans of the same and Javier instructed with the same cold posture, “Pour this upon these two.”
