Chapter 264 - Is she alive??
Nathan came back by evening. As soon as he entered the island he went to meet Jean who is unfortunately stuck with Aria, her mother and Mrs. Herren as they talked about the engagement arrangements. It is so evident that Aria's mother didn't like Jean…
Nathan politely greeted and smiled warmly at his soon to be wife before talking to Jean. "Jean can you come with me. I want to talk something" he asked her.
Jean nodded and excused herself before following her brother out. Aria's mother stared at the receding figures but kept quiet….
"What's that, did you notice your mother in law glaring daggers at me" Jean smacked his arm hardly. And both of them immersed in bickering while they walked into the park.
Nathan's cousins looked at them and couldn't help but envy Jean. He didn't even bear a single glance at them and his whole attention is on his sworn sister.
What is so special about her that Herren's main family have their unwavering attention for her...
"As if I care. Aria is who I care about not them. They are too much.." He chuckled as they are out of sight from his cunning family, but something is off with him.
As they reached the south end of the park Raymond is already waiting for them sitting on one of the bench. He is holding three bottles of bear, sipping one of it.
Jean sat in between them and took her bottle. Nathan followed her suite and sat beside her. "I want to confess about Kiara to Aria" he sighed and sipped his bear.
Jean looked into his eyes and asked. "Did you visit her grave"
"I did Jean. But I also have something to tell you all" he whispered and started to tell them the story how they got married and other stuff.
While Raymond is stunned, Jean is in deep thought. With what he said she started to suspect if Kiara really died or not.
According to Nathan, Kiara already know that she was being followed. But she didn't hesitate to help Jean in the mission though she was aware of the consequences.
Moreover she had been persistent to help her then. It only means that she was well prepared to face any type of complications…then how can she really die?
Kiara was a professional agent back then, they thought that attack was so sudden and she died because they couldn't help her in time. But she was very well aware of it…..then there are chances she is still alive.
Nathan has no clue about it because it was a confidential mission only they knew. Except for Jean, Scott and Kiara no one knew about it. If she is really alive then what should she have thought about them…
She might have thought that they abounded her…but If she is alive then she would have approached them. But she didn't…it only means she was taken as captive or she died.
She might have also waited for them to save her, but this is the first time Nathan opened up about their secret relationship. Till now Jean even didn't think about the chances of this possibility.
What if Kiara was tired of waiting for help, what if they tortured and killed her, it would leave even a big scare in their lives..
they could never forgive themselves.
By the end of his story, Nathan is almost in verge of crying so are Jean and Raymond. They have totally lost the count of how many hours they have been sitting here thinking about their lost friend.
Jean leaned on to her brother's shoulders and patted his back. She hugged Raymond and greeted him a goodnight before dragging Nathan with her into the house. After consoling him she left to her own room.
Aria's mother has been seeing them since two hours and she could feel that something is wrong with them. But she is more suspicious about Jean.
As soon as Jean went to her room, she called Alecia and warned her to increase the security. If chance, Kiara is alive and is held captive there are also chances that enemies are already somewhere lurking close to them.
Then Jean cried her heart out, cursing herself again and again for what happened. Kiara is one of the person she loves most….she couldn't protect her best friend who volunteerly accepted a suicide mission..
After that she called Scott, he got worried by her tired voice but he couldn't meet her. It would be too risky but he simply can't feel assured till he see her.
Seline got succ.u.mbed to the offers her brother made with her. She and Daisy invited Jean to the villa on the name of work. When she entered the living room she is dumbfounded by the view.
Most of the relatives are wrecking Scott by trying to curry some favors and they are trying their level best to bootlick him but he remained stoic as like always. Scott felt his heart twist as he looked at his woman, her eyes are little red and moist, her lips are dehydrated and chapped. He could sense that she cried for almost more than one hour.
His heart ached for her, it's been only half day he left her side and here she is worrying about something else…if she continues to pressurize herself she might get attacked by migraine again and moreover her fever didn't subside yet..
To avoid suspicions Susan took Jean with her into the dining room. They started to talk about something else but all her family are worried about her condition now..
Jean sneezed all in sudden which is followed by Scott's own sneeze. It is evident that these both are suffering with fever and cold, but is it coincidence or something else…
they couldn't help but feel suspicious of how much his family is worrying about her.
As it is almost past ten others settled in their allotted rooms in the villa. Seline and Jean decided to share the same room but in reality she was thrown out of the room as soon as Scott went in.
"What's wrong" he hugged her tightly and rubbed her back concernedly.
Jean muffled her sob and buried her face in his chest. She let out her grief safe in his arms, soon she drifted into deep slumber as Scott patiently patted her back till she stopped crying in her sleep.
He kissed her forehead and continued combing her messy hair as he looked at her with concern.
"Brother, I will take care of her. You should go now, others might get suspicious" Seline patted his shoulder and assured him before locking the door.
"After she wake up give her these tablets and tonic" Scott handed her a cover and went back.
In his room…
His uncle and aunt are waiting for him….
"Scott where have you been. It is already past eleven" His uncle asked suspiciously..
