Kidnapping My Future Fiancé

Alex Goldman, one of the richest bachelors in Los Angeles, was known to throw the biggest, most extravagant parties in the city. Automatically, all the rich people were invited to his parties. Anyone who was a celebrity, a rich businessman, a smoking hot girl, or easily found on Google for being famous, was allowed entry. This was Alex’s attempt at mimicking Jay Gatsby, from the movie The Great Gatsby, though he did not have a special girl that he waited for because every girl at the party was a potential one-night stand for him. Eden, Grace, Natalia, and Sophia knew this was the perfect place to find their target. All the rich bachelors in the city could be spotted at this party. Dressed in the most beautiful dresses, expensive jewellery, and intoxicating perfumes, they stepped out of their limousine at the front gate of Alex’s house. Even Sophia, who never put any effort into her appearance, dressed up for the event.When they stepped inside the house, their eyes were hazed by the

Eden felt herself being tackled from behind and she fell face-first to the floor, and from the corner of her eyes, she saw the same happening to Natalia, Grace, and Sophia. She did not know what this was happening but she knew it had something to do with the Mason brothers because she could see their outline in the smoke, sitting perfectly still, not flinching even once, as if they knew this would happen. Suddenly, a cloth was pressed against her face with a strange smell and she felt lightheaded, slowly drifting off into the blackness._____________About an hour later, Eden woke up, feeling a stinging pain in her hands, back, and ankles. It took her a minute to gain full consciousness of her surroundings. She was in a chair, tied the same way the Masons were tied. She looked around her and saw her three friends tied on chairs the same way. Sophia was looking at her with teary eyes but Natalia and Grace were still knocked out cold.“Kidnapping. Drugging without consent. Infliction of

“Marry me.”Eden was too shocked to say anything. Did he really ask me to marry him?“Don’t get flattered Miss Brown, it’s not like I like you romantically. After what you did, I should be disgusted by you.”“But you’re not. Why aren’t you?” Eden asked, her brain unable to process the situation completely.“You’re really beautiful.”What is even happening?“And young and rich. I need you to be my wife. I can assure you that I have no sexual or romantic intentions. This is nothing more than a temporary solution to both our problems. If I recall correctly, you wanted to marry me too, yes?”Eden could not believe how well this had worked out, but she felt humiliated that things did not go the way she had planned, she wanted to be in control. She felt a surge of anger about the fact that she is the one who is being blackmailed into getting married. She knew well that if she refused, Bennett could easily expose her and ruin her reputation. “Why do you want to marry me? You know my issues,

“He asked you to marry him?” Grace asks, befuddles. “Why would he do that?”“It’s supposed to help him with business or something, but that’s not important. He does not want any sort of romantic strings attached, it’ll all be just on paper,” Eden replied and then explained what Bennett had told her. She walks back to the bathtub and submerges herself once again.“Well, that worked out beautifully. Wasn’t that your goal all along?”“Yes but….” Eden couldn’t think of a single reason why she should not do this.“But?” Grace urged.“I don’t know, Grace,” Eden says, tracing her finger around the outline of her knee peeking out of the water.“Did he do something to you? Do you have any reason to think that he might hurt you?”“No, in fact, he has been nice to me, except he thinks that I am stupid,” Eden replies.“I don’t see that a problem. I mean it is perfectly valid why he would think that. What we did was pretty stupid,” Grace chuckled. “But it does not mean that he wants to harm you. H

Grace’s Arc“Well, whatever you say, It’s Saturday night, so I better go find something sexy to wear, ugh. See ya,” Grace says to Eden and hung up.She walks into her walk-in closet to look for a dress to wear tonight. She was not very excited to meet Theo after what had happened. Sure he was a decent-looking, handsome man, but Grace knew that he was up to no good. She called her personal bodyguard and told him that she needed him to be extra alert tonight. Sebastian, her guard, was a strict and diligent man, Grace knew she could depend on him. Grace picked a light pink, sequin dress with thin straps. It fit her well enough to accentuate her curves perfectly. She did some light make-up, she didn’t need much, her face’s features were enough to make her look beautiful. She left her wavy hair loose and wore a black high-heeled stiletto. Let’s get this over with.She looked at the address of the club Theo had texted her. It was one of the most heavily packed clubs in the city. She was r
