Trap me in your love

Chapter 3: Kidnapping (Part One)

Meanwhile, when Blake Wu came out of the villa, Jessie had been waiting for him at the door.

"Jessie, were you waiting for me?" he clarified.

"Blake, was the man dead? I mean, the man that I hit yesterday? Or was he seriously injured?"

Jessie's heart was anxious. The man's situation was really important to her that she would not be able to sleep peacefully without knowing anything about his injuries.

"Don't worry. It wasn't life-threatening at all. He is still in the ICU because of some internal bleeding. I will take good care of the matter and give him a reasonable compensation. After that, everything will be fine." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Despite Blake Wu telling her that there was nothing to worry about, Jessie was still anxious.

In fact, she didn't even know who she should believe in among the Lin family or the Lin Group. As of the moment, she was still valuable to Darren. If he made up his mind to leave her alone, then she would not know what would happen to her mother and her younger brother.

Meanwhile, under the dim lights, Blake Wu looked at Jessie's red and swollen face with worry and a lot of concern.

It seemed that the car accident tonight was just an ordinary one. As he had inquired through an acquaintance in the hospital, he learned that it was true that the internal organs of the injured were ruptured seriously due to external force impact. Besides that, there were other injuries on his body.

Moreover, those said injuries had nothing to do with the car accident.

If it were just a car accident, then it would be easier to deal with. But if there were other things involved in this accident, Jessie would surely be in trouble.

Although Blake Wu wanted to tell Jessie what he was doubtful about, for the sake of Jessie's safety, he thought that it would be better to tell her when things were clear. But on the other hand, Darren didn't take it seriously. ！

In the meantime, Blake Wu left as soon as they finished talking.

After washing, Jessie sat on the bed and looked at the jade pendant she took back from the scene of the accident. While she looked at the pendant with utmost focus, she then felt confused.

'Is there anyone else wearing a jade pendant right now?

If so, then why did that man hold it so tight?'

Although she didn't know much about jade pendants, she was sure that it must be something that belonged to a rich family because of the color, the unique pattern, and its style.

Just by looking at it, she was convinced that it must be invaluable.

But, judging from the way the man was dressed, she could tell that it should not be his. And besides, it was a suburb which was at least 70 or 80 kilometers away from the downtown area. The question still stood: what was he doing there in the middle of the night?

Repeatedly, Jessie thought about it, but could not figure out the relationship between the man and the jade pendant that she was holding.

Was there any secret hidden in the pendant?

Meanwhile, early the next morning, Jessie went downstairs with a pair of huge black circles around her eyes. In the dining room, she saw that Darren, Ivy and Ellie were sitting there having their breakfast together. Jessie sneered, and for a second, she felt that they were really a family.

After all, she, along with her crazy mother, and younger brother had never been in the same room for a long while now.

Well, in every sense, they were a true family, for all of them had the same ruthless and vicious character.

Whoever belonged to their family would be the tragedy of the world.

"Jessie, wait!" Darren and Ivy went out of the dining room. Darren said, "We have an appointment with the Lan family tonight. You should go shopping and buy some decent clothes to dress up. Don't be a disgrace to the Lin family."

"Darren, that won't be necessary. Ellie has lots of clothes. They are all international brands. In fact, Ellie had barely worn them. The clothes are all new. I'll pick some for Jessie later."

"Don't worry about the clothes. I can handle them myself. Come on, take it easy. I won't let you down."

Meanwhile, inside the Lan family, Mark Lan was standing in front of the French window, enjoying the sunlight on his body through the window.

"Mr. Mark, I have solved the problem, but.... I was not able to find it."

'What?'

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and frowned. His deep and dark eyes immediately turned insidious as he looked somewhere outside of the window. The murderous aura instantly spread all over his body, which almost chilled the air around them!

With a trembling voice, the man behind him was so frightened that he almost stuttered.

"Mr...Mr...Mr. Mark, please forgive me."

Mark Lan didn't say a word, when the people behind him didn't dare make a sound as they were all afraid that they would piss him off again.

Based on their experience, they all knew that whenever Mr. Mark got angry, he would destroy the whole world!

In that moment, Mark Lan looked into the distance, with his brain running fast.

It was his mother's birthday yesterday. He was on his way to the cemetery when all of a sudden, he encountered the killers. From that point, he clearly knew that they were sent by his father, Nelson Lan.

Ever since his mother passed away, Mark Lan had become a thorn in Nelson Lan's flesh. Despite being already 'disabled', Nelson Lan had no intention of letting him go.

After all, among his three sons, Mark Lan was the most ambitious and threatening in the bunch. Which was why in order to protect his 'hard-earned' family business, Nelson Lan had no choice but to get rid of him and take him down.

After a while, Mark Lan ordered, "Take that woman back!"

Raising his head slightly, he looked at the dazzling light with importance. Closing his eyes for a while, an obscure smile then appeared in his lips.

Meanwhile, as soon as Jessie just left the house, she received a call from Blake Wu. During their call, he told her that the injured died of organ failure last night. He also asked her to go to the police station immediately and that he would be there waiting for her.

However, just as Jessie got into a taxi, she felt her head spin out of dizziness and then became unconscious.

Confused, she woke up without knowing where she was and what had happened to her.

Right at that moment, she felt that her eyes were covered by something. All she knew was that it was pitch black and that she was half lying on a surface with both of her hands and feet tied up. With her limited senses, all she could only feel was that the space under her body was very narrow, that even moving an inch might cause her to fall to the ground.

Being blindfolded, disoriented, and being tied, her instincts told her that she must have been kidnapped!

With everything that was happening to her, there were still questions bogging her mind—what would they want with her and why was she kidnapped?

From where she lay, she could hear the sound of a car horn, along with its ridiculous velocity. At that point on, she definitely knew that she was inside a speeding car.

But where were they taking her?

Trying to calm herself down, all Jessie could do as of that moment was to take deep breaths.

With both her hands and feet tied up, her first and foremost action should be to untie the ropes that bound her tight.

Luckily, her hands were tied in front of her. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for her to untie herself.

When Jessie pulled her blindfold away, she was stunned at what she saw.

She was still in the taxi this whole time!

It appeared that the man had just been waiting for her for a long time.

At that point, she could not think of anyone who would have known that she would go out at that time.

Then, hastily, Jessie began to put her hands on her mouth. When she found the knot on the rope, she began to bite it.

Biting and sawing through the knot on the rope, she didn't know how much time it would take her to free herself. After a couple of attempts, she then smelled some blood coupled with a salty taste that seemed to come from too much friction in her lip.

She wanted to go free and escape so much that her blood was all over her hands and the rope.

Jessie had no other choice but to endure the pain as she kept biting the rope that bound her. After a couple of more attempts and more bloodshed, there was a sudden click. All of a sudden, she succeeded—the rope around her wrists was now untied!

Running at full speed, the driver in front of the car seemed to continue driving as he noticed nothing unusual.
