Jennifer lifted her eyes to look into his when he turned around to face her. She doesn’t know why she couldn’t hold herself from looking at his face with her narrowed eyes.

She wished to just look somewhere else but the magical power in his eyes stopped her. 

Everything seemed blurred around her, to only see him with utmost focusing her eyes. “What do you mean? Same track?”

He took small steps towards her yet to her, it seemed that he took very large steps and came close to her bed in just a few seconds. Her heart hammered against her heart at such a high speed where she discovered the effect his presence was having on her inner soul. 

There was no change in her facial expressions, yet the feelings were in total turmoil of whether to listen to what he had to say? Can she trust him with all her heart? 

“I mean to say that…you don’t wish to marry Lucas and he wants to marry you. Similarly, I don’t want you to marry him for some unknown reason… You can have dozens of thoughts in your mind about my explanation but the truth is…I don’t want you to get married to that bastard at all.” 

His confession combined with a husky voice kept on sending shivers down her spine. She gulped the saliva left in her throat and after that, her whole throat was dried. Her mind drifted to some other thoughts which were not relevant and applicable at this stage. 

“Wh..Why?” She was foreign to her own timid voice from which she asked him the question with one word but he seemed to understand the rest of the unsaid words. 

“Because.. you are Lucas’s fiance and he is my enemy…” but also because I can’t withstand you with someone else except me. The second half of the sentence was engraved deep in his heart and it was awfully difficult of him to bring those words to his lips. 

Things were changing for both of them. They both were growing closer, removing the layers one by one despite the enmity, disagreement. It was lust or attraction at first sight but Jennifer was still varied in her thoughts. 

“Oh.” A disappointing lock passed through her face when she realized his actual reason. Why? Was she wanting to hear something else from him? No, right? What else can he actually say to her? Jennifer pulled her lips into a straight line and kept the glass on the side table. 

With that, she pulled her hair into a bun, with some strands of hair still out of it. Yet there was nothing that could stop her from glowing, despite when she was naturally beautiful in her own aura and state. 

“Alright… so how are we on the same track then?” She once again pulled the conversation on the main point but Javier came closer to her and sat a little bit adjusted to her blanket. He was sitting near her leg, while she had taken a blanket over her whole lower body. 

He was staring into her deep eyes and then stated, “Neither do you want to be near him and I have enmity with that person. I promise you…that I will not give you back to Lucas at any cost and will protect you but I need your support in this with me.” 

Jennifer can’t believe what she heard. Support? Was he asking her to destroy Lucas alongside him? She could, she even wishes to do so after understanding what kind of person Lucas actually is. 

“Hmm…So how am I going to support you in this process of yours? Alongside you?” she asked but this time, he stepped closer to her. His closeness was sending her alarm at the ranging rate when she felt him almost near hand. Nothing could make her understand the foreign feelings which grew in her heart. 

‘How good those lisps would taste?’ She was astonished by the present option in her mind related to him. ‘C’mon Jennifer, you can’t think of such thing with him! He is your kidnapper and asking for your cooperation, nothing more!’ she knew it was not true. 

“Just… don’t do anything wrong which will tamper my plans further. They won’t only risk me but also you, Jenifer. Trust me, I have no intention to harm you. Even if I have to choose someone in between us, my priority will be your safety way before me.” Jennifer lifted her eyes immediately to look at her face which was too close to her nose. 

“I..I..” now words was pulled out of her mouth but then, he offered his hand to her, without tearing his eyes from her eyes. The eye contracts with the intent to look somewhere else as well. 

He handed his hand to her, in the indication to join him on his mission, “Jennifer, I will need your support. Can you..?” 

She was nervous. Is he trustworthy of her trust and powers? Will supporting him be helpful to her? Tons of questions inside her mind but no one to rely on. Her brain instantly asked to show her hand to him and give it into his yet her heart never agreed to whatever her brain constantly said. 

At last, she pulled her hand out of the blanket and kept it over him, when he looked both their hands together, and his warmness developed into her hand. They never left each other’s gazes to look at. “Thank You, Jennifer. That means a lot.” 

A crept blush on her face when he was thankful for her support but it seems he was more added by her beauty. Bringing his hand near her face, he pulled one strand of her hair behind her ears with care.

She looked at his face with a sparkle in her eyes. No one ever dared to do something like this, maybe because she never granted them permission to come even a step closer to her.

But he was the exception. 

“Keep your hair into such manner. You look cuter in the bun.” With this, he stepped back and stood from the bed, immediately leaving Jenifer alone in the room dumbfounded and confused by his actions. 

‘Wh..What am I even feeling for this man?’
