Even up until this moment, Selena still couldn't quite understand how she had ended up getting kidnapped the moment she arrived in Nova City.
Speaking of which, she had only gone to use the airport's restroom after landing to solve her physiological needs and after she was done, while washing her hands, she had noticed a suspicious figure covered tightly in black form head-to-toe lurking around from the mirror's reflection.The figure had made her feel strange since there wasn't that many of normal people who would wrap themselves up that tightly, not unless the person was a celebrity.Adding to the fact that the figure wasn't exactly doing anything but just stood at the restroom's door and sneakily glanced around, she had came to the conclusion that the figure was indeed a celebrity and should be hiding from fans.Probably because she had been observing quite carefully, she also came to notice that the figure seemed like a maMeanwhile, back at the Anderson's residence, Dan stared expressionlessly at the old man who was for some reason suddenly claiming relatives while looking at him with excitement and fell into deep thought.He wondered what crooked idea the damn old man had cooked up in his muddled mind now.Glancing at Ryan from the corner of his eyes, he noticed the latter's look if watching a show and understood immediately that Ryan must have an inkling of the idea the old man had cooked up but had no intention whatsoever of telling him.But then he shrugged indifferently, he was used to this brother-cum-bestfriend of his always wanting to see a joke of him anyways.That aside, he turned to face Mr. Anderson again and after staring deeply at him for a few seconds, he smiled. The smile appeared abrupt on his effeminate face and lighted up his face which was even more beautiful than a woman's.However, looking closely, you could s
Mr. Anderson was really confused as to the reason for Ryan's sudden outburst when he had been acting calm all along making him doubt if Selena wasn't that important to him after all.And to say the truth, since the moment he recognized Dan as his b*stard son, he saw the chance to permanently have Ryan stop breathing down their necks and ending up destroying the family he had spent his whole life building, a thousand times better than the temporary compromise that the capture of Selena would bring.Moreover, he couldn't be sure whether that woman was just a shield or smokescreen for Ryan, and he knew that if she wasn't, even if they hid her at the most secretive place, it wouldn't take long before Ryan found her with the great power and connections he held in his hand. Sending his men to monitor Selena and then capturing her had been a desperate plan he had thought up in the heat of the moment in the first place. It was a plan that wouldn't
Meanwhile...Back in F Nation...It was already nightime. Mrs. Preston sat on the edge of the bed in the master bedroom and slowly lowered the hand that held her cell phone and at the same time, her brows creased tightly in worry.She turned her body around to face her husband who was half lying down on the bed and said to him with worry and a hint of anxiety in her tone."What do you think is going on? Our daughter should have landed in Country Z by now but I just can't seem to get through her number. And that makes me worry that something have happened to her."Her husband, Mr. Preston also frowned slightly at her words, obviously he also had the same concerns. For a minute, none of them said anything and the room sank into silence, however, in the next minute Mr. Preston suddenly got up from the bed and left the bedroom after leaving some words behind."Wait for me."Mrs. Preston sta
The morning sun was already high up in the sky but Nina who had been writing late into the night yesterday was still not awake. However, her sleep was bound to be cut short as her mobile phone which she had placed on the bedside rang out loudly."Argh..", Nina grumbled out loud on the bed with unsatisfaction before muttering in annoyance though she still didn't open her eyes, "Justin.. Pick up your phone... It's so noisy!"It was obvious that she thought that it was her husband's phone ringing and still had no idea that he had awoken and went out long ago.She waited and waited for the phone to stop ringing but was bound to be disappointed as the phone started ringing again after a few minutes of silence. Nina could only open her eyes with great reluctance and sat up in anger planning to denounce Justin who she thought was still lying next to her on the bed.The result could very well be imagined, because the minute she turned
"The Anderson family?" Which Anderson family?", Selena asked uncertainly.The scar-faced man looked at her in surprise, probably wondering why she seemed not to have any idea of the identity of the person who ordered her capture. But he still answered her truthfully, "The aristocratic family made up of officials."Shock and confusion appeared in Selena's eyes the moment he said that. She had heard of 'that' Anderson family and knew that almost all the members of this particular aristocratic family held offical positions in the government from generation to generation.However...She had no memory whatsoever of ever crossing paths or offending any member of the said family and therefore, couldn't understand why she was kidnapped.Even at this moment, it never crossed Selena's mind that Ryan's surname was Anderson as well and that her kidnapping was related to him in any way or that he was even the main reason. This was because the idea that he was an orphan like her(well, until recentl
However, Dan had to admit that Luke was really vicious and inhumane.After knowing Selena's background, he knew that that was probably going to be the end for him but still, he planned not to make Ryan feel better. This was because the message he had typed out was to instruct his men whom he had ordered to kidnap Selena to take turns r*ping her!It was obvious he wanted to take revenge on Ryan by doing that and make him feel everlasting pain and regret.At the same time, Dan also felt that Luke was really stupid considering that he still did that after knowing that Selena's family was the F Nation's Preston family who even the president of this country had to give some considerable respect to. And also, didn't it occur to him how miserable his life would be after sending that message because excluding what Ryan was going to do him, would the Preston family allow someone who had humiliated and hurt their newly found princess to run around unharmed?But maybe he did know all this, Dan m
Meanwhile, back in F nation, Mr. Preston put down the phone in his hands and turned to look at his inconsolable wife with a distressed expression flashing across his eyes. He sighed softly before taking her into his arms. His tone was unbearably soft as he wiped the tears in her face with unprecedented gentleness. "Our daughter will be fine, okay? She survived years ago when we lost her. She definitely will this tine around as well. We have to believe that she would...""Besides.. crying at this time would neither solve anything nor make things better for her wherever she is. Therefore, rather than crying and wallowing in sorrow, don't you think it's better to channel that energy into finding her ourselves after going down to Country Z?"The moment Mrs. Preston heard her usually taciturn husband saying those gentle but reasonable words, her tears instantly stopped. Then, without warning, she struggled lightly and got out of her husband's embrace and just as Mr. Preston was about to
Ryan looked at the scar-faced man with no warmth in his eyes and without mincing words, he said to him, "The woman you captured, I want her."Short and straight to the point, the scar-faced man thought to himself. However, after Ryan finished speaking, the already tense situation got even tenser as both sides tightened the hands on their guns. On seeing this, the scar-faced man wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere but when he accidentally met Ryan's frosty eyes, Dan's demonic smile and Justin's expressionless face, the smile that was about to surface instantly stiffened.He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and took the chance to glance at his subordinates who looked also at him with encouragement, their gazes telling him to snap back at Ryan and prove they weren't pushovers. Of course, those gazes belonged to his men who didn't recognize Ryan and Dan or know of their reputations. The ones who did were already signalling to him with their eyes to quickly compromise.The sca
