Chapter 3 Kidnapped Ii

• This is her chance to know what this mad man will do to her.
• "Help! Help! Help!" Arci yelled and dashed towards the door.
• Richard quickly grabbed her and pushed her onto the bed.
• He made a shush sound with his finger on his mouth.
• "Sir, I just heard a loud bang. Would you like me to clean it up?" From the outside, a female voice said.
• Richard did not respond.
• "Sir, if you do not respond, I will come in."
• Richard quickly snatched the little girl into his arms and piled on top of her.
• A waitress entered as the door opened.
• "Get out," Richard said sternly.
• Arci struggled, so she could signal the waitress.
• "I'm sorry, sir," the waitress bowed and walked out, closing the door gently.
• Arci was disappointed and gave up.
• Richard cocked his head and fixed his gaze on the woman.
• "Remember what I say, okay?" He informed her.
• Arci shuddered and nodded.
• He got out of bed and held her hand, forcing her to sit up straight.
• "Please let me go," Arci said.
• "Sure. Come with me" Richard told her.
• He grabbed her hand and dragged it forward.
• He handed her her suitcase while holding his own.
• "Follow me," he said.
• Their suitcases are identical, both the size and color were the same except for the color of the lock.
• He flung open the door wide.
• He took another step forward, his hand still in hers.
• They exited the hotel together.
• He held her waist in an intimate manner, making them appear to be a couple.
• "Relax," he said in her ear, and she calmed down immediately before they exited through the door.
• Some group of people were standing not far from the hotel, obviously waiting for someone.
• He asked her, pointing to a group of people.
• "Are they expecting you?"
• Arci gave a nod.
• "Forget everything that happened alright? don't let me down." Richard informed her.
• Arci gave a nod.
• He let her go.
• "Go!"
• Arci approached the group of people who were waiting on the other side of the hotel.
• Richard made his way to his Partner's car, which was waiting for him.
• As he walked, he noticed a man pushing a dirt truck and shouting.
• "Miss, please move off the road," the truck driver said in English.
• Arci quickly moved out of the way to allow the truck pusher to pass.
• Richard walked away without a second thought.
• She approached the people who were waiting for her.
• "Hello". She smiled at them.
• "Hello," they replied.
• Arci looked at Richard as he approached the car.
• Richard walked towards his father's assistant, Drey.
• "Is everything okay?" Richard inquired.
• "Albert is keeping a closer eye on me than ever before. Richmond is the commander of the General Defense Command. Everywhere I go, I am followed. I got them to leave by telling them I was going to pick up my nephew " Drey lamented.
• "I don't think that's a good excuse, Drey," Richard said coldly.
• "I didn't have a choice. He's always trying to get his hands on me. He wanted his guards to take my place. My life depends on the Bush army, "Drey sighed.
• Richard gave a cold smile.
• "You can be confident. I'm alone in town."
• "Your father once saved my life on the battlefield; I knew he was a trustworthy person, and don't disappoint me."
• "You've decided to work with me because you believe in me. I'll treat you well no matter what ".
• "What about your troops, General?" She asked.
• "They've been ordered to leave town. Don't be concerned; they are Worthy of trusting."
• Drey gave a nod.
• "Also, who is the girl who was walking beside you just now?"
• "Did you remember Grace Alfred?"
• Drey gave a nod.
• "That girl ran into us when I was dealing with her, she betrayed us."
• "Shouldn't you then kill her?"
• They both stared at where Arci was walking.
• Richard was taken aback when he realized he had been duped.
• The people she called her family are standing where they are, but she is not there.
• And the truck driver clearly speaks English.
• She understands English!!
• He dashed to the car and opened the door.
• "Go after her," he said.
• Drey jumped into the driver's seat and started the car.
• ….
• Arci walked to the airport, since that is where the chauffeur will come to pick her up. She waited and was already tired of waiting when a car stopped in front of her.
• The back seat opened, revealing the man who had threatened her life. She attempted to flee, but Richard prevented her from doing so.
• Richard dragged her into the car as quickly as he could and shut the door.
• Richard placed his hand on her neck.
• "I'm really surprised that you're so smart," Richard told her in English.
• Arci looked at him without saying anything.
• "Stop acting, do yourself a favor, and be quiet."
• He took his hand off her neck.
• He reached out his hand for her suitcase. Arci quickly tried to stop him, but Drey said, "Don't move."
• As he pointed a gun at her.
• She stiffened instantly.
• Richard took her suitcase and opened it to examine the contents.
• He saw a black bag and grabbed it.
• "Don't touch it," she said quickly, attempting to prevent him from opening her mother's dowry.
• Richard gave her a cold look, and she backed away from him.
• "Sir, I'm returning to the country to bury my mother. I promise I won't tell on you," Arci said.
• He took her diary and dropped the bag.
• He shut her suitcase and took out her diary.
• Her name is written on the first page.
• "Arci Lincoln," he read in his mind.
• "You almost fooled me, I thought it would be fine if you were Japanese," he said, looking at her.
• He pulled a cuff from his pocket and motioned for her to bring her hand up.
• She extended her hand to him.
• "What are you doing?" He asked, as he fastened the cuff around her wrist.
• "I'm afraid you'll be handcuffed to me for the next few days," he said as he tied the other side to his hand.
• "It's to keep you from causing problems, Are you fine with it?"
• "General, perhaps we should just shoot her and throw her body in the river," Drey said, pointing the gun at her.
• Her muscles tense.
• She was afraid to move.
• "Drey, put the gun down. From now on, consider her your sister-in-law, let's spare her life," Richard said.
• "You have a soft spot in your heart for the fairer sex, Alright?" He put the gun away and began driving.
• "Don't get smart with me," Richard warned.
