ENCHANTED 《Vol 1-2》

Angelo cleared his throat inside the elevator to draw the man's attention. "Which floor are you going?" he politely inquired, ready to press the floor button.

"4th floor," the man said, his voice deep.

As he pressed the button, Angelo said, "What a coincidence, I'm also going there."

The room fell silent after the button was pressed. While putting his hands inside the pockets of his leather jacket, the man puts on his headphones. They've arrived at the 4th floor after an hour of waiting. Angelo walked out first, followed by the man from behind; Angelo continued walking in the direction of the Clydesdale room, checking behind him to see if the man was still following him, which he was.

When a buff man appeared out of nowhere, dashing towards Angelo and carrying him on his shoulder. Angelo was about to scream when the man following him covered his mouth with a handkerchief, causing him to fall asleep almost immediately.

After Angelo fell asleep, both men exchanged nods, and the man who was carrying him exited the hospital through the back door.

The other man who was following Angelo carried the food he was carrying to the Clydesdale room. He then knocked, and after a few moments, the door opened, revealing Alyssa, who was surprised and perplexed to see the man.

"Leif? I'm surprised you're here with our order?" Alyssa asked, her voice surprised and skeptical. "Have you seen or run into a tall guy with that order you're carrying?" she inquires, puzzled.

"Hey, Alyssa. Yeah, I actually ran into him in the elevator earlier and he asked me which floor I was going to and what a coincidence we were going the same floor and direction when we got off the elevator but before he could go any further, he got a call that there was an emergency and since I was going the same floor as him, he handed the order to me and told what room number he was going," Leif explained briefly while catching his breath. "I'd only just met him, and he had no idea who I was, but he trusted a stranger to handle the order," he added, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.

"Then why didn't he call me?" Alyssa wonders as she takes the order from Leif. "He always calls me whenever he has an emergency going on, so that's strange." She welcomed him inside and instructed him to take a seat. "Since Kuya isn't here, why don't you have his order, Leif. It's a thank you and sorry for bothering you, and here's your order, pixie and Clydesdale," she said as she handed the order to them.

Third person p.o.v

When Angelo felt something in his head, he was taken aback. He began to panic as he realized his head was in a sack and his arms and legs were chained up. He slowly opened his eyes as the sack was removed from his head. He saw a woman in a Scorpio mask with long wavy hair standing in front of him wearing a full black outfit and carrying a gun while smiling devilishly.

"LET GO OF ME?! Or ELSE?!!" Angelo exclaimed as he struggled to free himself from the chains.

"Or else what?" she sneers, her eyes rolling.

"Or else, I'm calling the cops on you," Angelo said angrily as he leaned forward.

"Go ahead, I enjoy seeing you try," she smirks as she grabs his collar. "How can you call the cops when you don't even have your phone, idiot?" she snickers as she holds up his phone.

"GET OFF OF ME!" he yelled angrily. He inquires, "What do you want from me!"

"It's just that I don't want you to get in the way of my plans," she explained as she spun the gun around, glaring at him.

"Is it about Alyssa and Clydesdale, or Jordan?" Angelo inquires, a grin on his face.

She exclaimed as she took a step back, "How do you know?" she inquired, still stunned.

"Just a hunch, but, seriously, I know what you're doing because I've been there and it didn't end well for me," he shrugged as he easily removed the chains, making her gasp even louder, and he moved forward with his hands in his pockets.

"Well, that's a shame, but who cares; you kinda deserve it, hahahah," she sarcastically joked. "I mean, look at you. No offense, but if I were the girl, I wouldn't even look you in the eye" she scoffs.

"Okay, you've crossed the line here.  It's not me who's sabotaging your plan; it's Alyssa, who you should've kidnapped in the first place instead of me; she's the main reason your plans keep failing," he said, rolling his eyes.

"I can go way out of line if I want to, no one can stop me," she boasted as she paced in circles. "Well, this is my plan. You're the one I wanted to kidnap, because she likes you and will notice that you're missing and will come and find you, piece of cake," she said proudly.

"You moron, she no longer likes me. Since I went to Japan, she's moved on, and now that I'm back, she's with Clydesdale. Instead of me, why don't you kidnap her so that Clydesdale will come running in and your precious Jordan will beg for you, and maybe you could ask him to be your boyfriend in exchange for Alyssa's release, easy as that," he continued.

"Are you listening to yourself right now?" she asks, her eyes widening. "Clydesdale has a girlfriend, and she's Clydesdale her a million times, but she hasn't liked anyone but you since your first crush," she adds, arms crossed.

"Why did you smack me? What did I do to deserve this?" Angelo grumbled. "Yes, I am aware that Clydesdale has a girlfriend, but due to his memory loss as a result of the car accident, he has no clue who we are or his girlfriend; the only memory he has and person he remembers is Alyssa," he explained while rubbing the back of his head.

"You deserve this because you're not paying attention," she said, irritated. "Then, you better figure out how to lure here so that my plan works because you're the only person she cares about," she smirked as she pointed the gun at him.

"Why would I listen to you?" he questions, adding, "you already kidnapped me, what else do you want?"

"Didn't you hear me a while ago?" she raise her eyebrow while glaring at him. "I said, you better figure out how to entice Alyssa, Clydesdale, and my precious Jordan!" she yelled  while tapping her shoes. "You don't want to mess with my big brother if you don't listen to what I say. In just 5 seconds, Jasper and Alex can torture you" She said it in a devilish tone.

"Fine," he said as he surrendered. "I'll do whatever you say."

She pats his head and smiles as she says, "Good boy, that's what I like to hear. Before I forget, you are not allowed to escape, even if you have already freed yourself, or else my brothers and dogs will kill you, okay?" she reminded him, then asked with a fake smile and walked away.

The giant gates closed after she left, and he heard the gates were locked as soon as they closed. He was left alone, surrounded by a swarm of aggressive and drooling dogs. They continued to growl and bark at him as he tried to sleep, but he was unable to do so.
