Kidnapping the Scammer

“I told you that I don't need to be tied up like this. I will come with you with no question.” I said as I tried untangling the knot but it was impossible

Of course, it's a lie. Why would I come with a stranger.

He tied me up so tight that I can't even move my fingers. After discovering that I'm his online lover—this jackass kidnapped me and dragged me to his expensive car. I thought it was already our doom but it looks like he has no plan to surrender us to the police.

“Are you really insane? I can sue you for kidnapping!” I cursed under my breath

His laughter echoed in his luxurious car “Seriously baby? You think you can sue me? You, a scammer who leech off my money and attempted to betray me by blocking my account? You think you have the audacity to sue me after I just pick up what's actually mine? You can go ahead ang try.”

“I'm not your girlfriend! It's just online dating. Why would you even take it seriously?" I said in annoyance

“If we're not dating, then I'll consider what you did to me as scamming. You earned almost a million from me, didn't you?” he grinned “I can send you to the police right now, you know.”

I glare at him and he just show me his smug expression—as if he's confident that I won't win to him. As I observed him with a frown on my face, I can't help but admire his inhumane beauty.

His right hand is on the steering wheel—I can see the veins bulging to his arm. While his left arm is pressed on the window while driving—his head resting on his arm. He remained focused on the road.

I just notice this now, he's wearing a formal attire—all in black. A simple well-fitting blazer drapes over a black turtleneck, and the same dark color continues down to his trousers. The blackbelt becomes the final touch—making his look elegant and stylish at the same time.

“Why are you staring?” he asked glancing at me

“I'm not staring,” I said in a frown

I just rolled my eyes, and lean my back to the passenger seat. He gave me a chuckle again.

“You're such a brat, Erica.” he said “Anyway, is your name really Erica?”

I didn't respond and just focus my attention outside the window. Never in my life I expected that I would be kidnapped by one of my victims—they don't have the ability to do that.

We suddenly stop to the side of the road. I look at him confusely. He leaned forward and in one swift movement—his lips was already pressed to mine for a quick kiss before pulling away. He also untied the knot around my wrist.

Instinctively, I slapped his face. Did this bastard just stole a kiss?

“You slap too heavy. I like it.” he said and lick his lower lip as if he's a pervert.

Despite the red mark prominent on his cheek, he remained cool. The smile was still plastered on his lips—not even showing any reaction to my slap.

“What's your name, baby? Do you prefer being called Erica?” he asked as he touch my cheek

My brows furrowed as I shove his hands from my cheek “You can call me, Aileen. Stop that!”

“Okay baby, I'm Aeros by the way. You can call me honey.” he flashed his charming smile

I squinted my eyes as I said “Dream on,”

He chuckled as he started the engine and drive again. He kissed me. He stole my first kiss. This asshole! If only I wasn't a scammer, I'll sue him!

I can't help but be flustered to what he did, so I just hid my face to the hand that was leaned on the window.

“I never expected for you to be this shy, baby. You were always bold in messages. Are those also your lies?” he grinned and I glare at him

I always tell him in messages that I'm an expert when it comes to sexual matters, that I can satisfy him—but in real life? I'm an inexperienced potato working as a scammer. My only companion is my laptop and three sachets of coffee.

“Shut up!” I said rolling my eyes and he just chuckled

He focused to the road again but silently crawl his hand to my thigh to squeeze it. This bastard is teasing me! He knows I'm inexperienced and yet— I move my leg away from his hand. He chuckled when I did that.

“How old are you, Aileen?” he asked, glancing at me

“Seventeen,” I told him

That's a lie—I'm already twenty-three but I won't disclose my real age to this guy. Maybe if he thinks that I'm a minor—he would stop this action of his.

He didn't say anything, instead he dialed a number. I just focus to the sight outside.

“Yes, Mr. Belladoná speaking. I would like the personal information of the woman you caught in the Abyss apartment early this morning. Yes, I need it immediately—” adrenaline, I snatched his phone and end the call.

“I'm twenty-three! Stop looking for my personal information and just ask me directly!” I said and he chuckled

Is this guy making fun of me?

“I expected you to be an expert in lying—but rather, you suck at this field, honey. How about consider retiring from your work and just marry me?” he said in a grin

I let out a bland laugh as I answer him “Wow, a very good idea! Whoever the hell you are—I'll just leech off your money again.”

He laughed “You know what? You're entertaining, Aileen. I'll keep you around for a while.”

“I don't mind if you leech off my money, I would even say thank you.” he added and winked at me

I can't help but feel an overwhelming annoyance to him, and he just disregard all of it like a child throwing a tantrum. It's disrespecting and pleasing at the same time. Weird right?

During our journey to hell where he's planning to take me, it was peaceful and silent. It took almost two hours before we reached our destination.

He opened the door for me—but I can't even spare a glance at him as I observe the enormous mansion—similar to a castle—in front of me. It feels like I'm seeing a medieval castle.

“Do you like it?” he whispered to my ear and I flinched

I pulled away and touch my ear, he was too close. I'm not used to it. He just smiled at me as he took my hand and supported me in his enormous mansion. My gaze shifted to the gigantic door.

When the door opened, there are lined up maids and bodyguards waiting—a red carpet was placed on the floor. He walked on the carpet with confidence—he even drag me with him. I tried struggling but he won't budge.

“Welcome, master.” the staffs said in chorus

“Starting now, all of you will treat this woman beside me—the same way how you treat me. Understood?” he said as he pointed me

He looked at me “I'll bring you to your room.”

I only nodded but realize what he said “Wait, to my room? I'm living here?”

He raised his left eyebrow “Yes? Why else would I bring you here if you're not going to live with me?”

“I thought I'm your whore? Is this how whores are treated?” it was based on my guess, because why would a guy like him be interested to someone like me? “So why in this place? It could have been a penthouse or a cheap hotel—”

He laugh so loud that it echoed the mansion “Darling, first of all I don't screw someone over in a cheap hotel. Second, I'm not a desperate guy to look for a woman online to get laid. I can simply order someone and sleep with them the same day.”

He walked towards me with his hands on his pocket. A small smirk on his lips.

“You worth more than that.” he said “The reason I brought you here is to marry you. I don't care what ways I will use, but you will marry me. By hook or by crook.”
