Chapter 3 Kidnapping
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Suddenly, Leona felt a cloth cover her face. Everything went black.
Her eyelids fluttered open after a while. As her vision adjusted, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. When she looked out the window, she saw that it was already dark. Then she glanced at the alarm clock beside her.
"Oh my God! It's already three o'clock in the morning!"
Leona tried to get out of the bed but she felt sore all over. Her head spun and her lower body throbbed.
"Oh my God! What happened?"
She reached for the lights. When she switched them on, she saw a darkened bloodstain in the middle of the bed. Her mouth dropped open. 'Have I been violated?' she thought.
"What happened? Why can't I remember anything?"
Leona shook her head.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
A few moments later, the door opened and a handsome man walked out.
"Shame on you!"
Leona yelled, covering her face. She felt ashamed seeing a half-naked man come out from the shower.
"I'm wearing a towel! Besides, you are my wife. You have nothing to worry about!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He went straight to the bedside and touched her face with his slender fingers.
Leona raised her head and looked into his eyes. They looked like stars up in the night sky!
'What beautiful eyes!'
Leona thought to herself.
"Well? Don't you think your husband is so handsome?"
"My... My what?"
Leona's head suddenly throbbed.
"Silly girl, you agreed to my proposal! You are my wife now."
"What?! What proposal?"
Leona's eyes widened in shock.
"I asked you to marry me and you said yes! I even have the marriage certificate to prove it. Do you want to see?"
The man took out two red envelopes from the bedside table beside him and handed them to Leona.
She opened the envelopes and read the papers inside.
'They're actual marriage certificates!'
Leona's head started to throb even more.
"Louis Lu, Leona Xia,"
she murmured. Those were the names written on the papers.
"How... How did you get these marriage certificates?"
she asked.
However, instead of answering her, the man just took her into his arms and held her close.
"Oh, my wife. All will be revealed to you soon."
He gave a soft chuckle. Leona felt nervous. It was obvious he was hiding something from her.
Then he held onto her more tightly.
Her warmth seeped into his skin.
He felt aroused, but decided to control himself. 'Patience,' he thought.
He had dreamt of this moment for a long time. Actually, he had always loved her, but she never knew. She was silly, even as a child. He couldn't believe she could not remember who he was.
His heart was hit by a bitter pang.
"Leona, you will remember me one day,"
he whispered. He looked at her face and smiled. How beautiful she was!
"Louis... Lu?"
Meanwhile, Leona was lost in her own thoughts.
How the hell did one of the world's most powerful men know who she was?
