Chapter 373 - Love Story Ended!

"Javier!" 

Thud! 

Thud! 

Thud! 

Things simply broke down when everyone had anticipated Javier's body to release some blood after the gunshots were heard. 

However, it was totally opposite to what they all had expected. 

In front of their sight, Jennifer's shoulders were badly wounded where she had ended up coming in front of Javier's body, even from a far distance. 

Standing in the middle of the entire space, she could feel the sharp pain rising up to her brain from where it was hard to escape.

Her mind was suddenly blank with nothing coming into her ears. She knew tons of voices were present there, yet her ears were all numb.

The pain was hard to ignore where her body was on the edge of giving up...her will had already loosened. "Javier...' 

Her eyes were lingering at her husband who was shocked. More likely to say, his body was frozen to the place where he found this to be but a nightmare being played. 

Slowly and steadily, Jennifer fell over her knees with her knees making a loud noise on the ground. 

Hannah from the back constantly called her name, but it was Austin who had held her back to not let her run towards her best friend. 

Nevertheless, it broke too many hearts to see Jennifer taking the bullet for Javier, but they had no power to go and help her since Lucas' aura was deadly scary. 

Yet it never dimmed Javier's horror expressions where Jennifer's eyes were stagnant on his face. 

Subconsciously, he lowered his gun in his shock where without blinking his eyes even for a minor second, he couldn't figure anything. "j..J..Jennifer. .." he mumbled in between his breath to finally snap out of his daze. 

Without wasting time, his legs ran in her direction to hold her before she completely fell on the ground. "Jennifer!" yelling over his lungs, he finally bent on the ground to hold her in his arms. 

"Sh..don't close your eyes! What have you done! Like seriously!?" His face started to crumble when he saw the blood flowing out of her shoulder. 

There was heavy bleeding out of her shoulders which made him sense something evil grabbing his heavy heart. It was too hard to control the feeling of something being smashed into pieces just now. 

Cupping her face into his hands, he managed to not let tears fall from his eyes but to keep her warned and alarmed "Don't you dare close your eyes, don't!" 

"J..

Javier..." Hearing his name from her mouth, only increased his emotional turmoil. "It's alright. I'm here. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere...I'm with you.."

"D..Do..don't leave me...pl..please....'' 

Jennifer's face had started to turn paler than that of the white sheet. 

She was consecutively losing the color of her lips, even her eyelids feel the heaviness taking the cover over them. 

Sweat was trickling down from her entire body where she was feeling herself in the immense torture which she had to go through. It was taking her entire course to not let herself fall into the deep slumber since that was what she needed. 

But Javier's frightened face gave her strength. She knew she can't leave him right here alone....in this state of his. 

Javier immediately used his handkerchief from his pocket to wrap it around her wound which gained her shrill voice. It caused her pain but she had no other choice for now. Holding his hands near her heart, she told, 

"J..Ja..Javier..if..something happens...you will come for me.."

"Nothing will happen! Don't you dare to utter anything like this.." He was on the edge of having a mental breakdown. 

At this point, he wanted to rush her to the hospital but he knew he had no right to do so. 

While on the other side, her parents couldn't even believe their eyes. Was Jennifer injured? Did the bullet touch their daughter? Something felt amiss in their heart but the aura that Lucas carried was heavier which stopped them to take a step closer to her. 

Everyone present at his point only stared at the crying couple. The blood which she shed was actually entirely on his body. 

Javier carried Jennifer in his arms as if he could literally die at this moment. 

Not only did it break everyone's heart but with no other choice left, they had to seal their lips and suck their own tears. 

But Lucas didn't feel even a single amount of empathy for them. The thought that she literally married Javier was going around in his mind which didn't put an end to his existing fire. 

"This is what you get for marrying a Johnson, a weakling, Jennifer. If you hadn't married him or fallen for him, this won't be the outcome.." Lucas's words didn't have much impact on anyone. 

"Look at yourself, you are injured because of this man..but don't worry, soon  you will be fine since this man will ultimately die from my hands now.."  Lucas muttered when a giant smile started to curve on his lips,. 

It did send daggers to everyone's eyes where they could literally see the devilish side of this man appears again. 

Lucas signaled his man to actually take Javier away from Jennifer's embrace. 

When Javier was too absorbed in taking care of the blood that poured out from Jennifer's wound, didn't e realize Lucas's actions at all? 

As per Lucas's instructions, the man actually came to hold Javier from behind to make him stand on his toes, making Jennife leave on the ground when she looked at her husband being taken away from her. 

"N..No! Don't do th..this!"

"Leave me, you bastards!" Javier was ready to attack but he wasn't able to leave the position to do so. 

The two men actually attacked his head with the metal rod, making his head flow in all directions. 

It sent chills but at the same time, made him believe the world around him is revolving. 

Javier was made to stand by the two bodyguards while his hand was cuffed by both of them from either side. His eyes were still trying to cover for his vision but Jennifer's horror never dimmed either. 

However, Lucas's eyes shone with great enjoyment that appeared again when he saw Jennifer again trying to save Javier's life with her own wounded shoulders.

"So sorry Javier..but this love story....needs to end here."
