Arranged Marriage

Chapter 19

Fourth was supposed to surprise Gemini in his office but as he was on his way, he was suddenly Drugged and dragged into a van by a few masked men. They blindfolded Fourth and tied his hands together before shoving him inside an old warehouse where they kept him in a dark room.

After some time, When consciousness came upon, Fourth struggled to get free from the ropes that bound him, but it was in vain. All he could do was wait until his captors revealed themselves and what their plan was. Fourth's heart was racing with fear, and he couldn't understand why someone would want to kidnap him.

Meanwhile, Gemini had reached Fourth's office, and to his surprise, Fourth was nowhere to be found. Gemini tried calling Fourth, but he didn't receive any response. When he inquired with the staff present in the office, they informed him that Fourth had planned to surprise him.

Gemini's anxiety grew as he wondered if the families had played a part in Fourth's disappearance. He knew that the relationship between the families was already strained, and this was going way too low. He decided to confront Fourth's parents and his own.

Gemini barged into his parent's house with a worried look on his face. As soon as he entered the living room, his heart dropped. He saw Fourth's parents sitting on the sofa looking quite pleased with themselves.

"What have you done with Fourth? Where is he?" Gemini demanded, glaring at them.

Mrs. Nattawat, Fourth's mother, smirked. "Oh, hello Gemini. We were just waiting for you to arrive," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Gemini's eyes widened as he noticed the smug grin on their faces. "Where is Fourth?" he persisted.

Mr. Norawit sighed and shook his head as if he were talking to a child. "We told you, son. We don't know where he is."

"Don't call me son!" Gemini growled. "Where is he?"

The Norawits just shrugged and motioned for him to sit down. Gemini clenched his fists and took a deep breath before reluctantly sitting down. He didn't like being in the same room as them, let alone having a conversation with them.

"What have you done?" Gemini asked, his voice shaking with fear.

Mr. Norawit leaned forward, an evil glint in his eye. "Well, Gemini, we have something to tell you," he said.

Gemini's heart raced as he waited for them to speak. He had a feeling he wasn't going to like what they had to say.

"Fourth isn't our real son," Mrs. Nattawat said, smiling as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

Gemini felt as if the world was spinning around him. "What do you mean he's not your son?" he whispered.

"He's our older brother's adopted son," Mr. Nattawat clarified. "You see, our brother passed away a few years ago and he left all his property to Fourth. But since Fourth wasn't legally our son, we couldn't claim his inheritance."

"So, we needed him to get married so we could legally become his parents and claim his property," Mrs. Nattawat explained.

Gemini's mouth fell open in shock. "You kidnapped him just so you could claim his inheritance?" he asked disbelief in his voice.

Mr. Nattawat merely shrugged. "We needed the money," he said as if that was a good enough excuse.

Gemini was disgusted. How could they do such a thing to their own family member? "I can't believe this," he muttered, shaking his head in disbelief.

Gemini sat on the couch facing the two pairs of parents that stood before him. "Where have you taken Fourth?" Gemini demanded, his voice laced with anger and fear.
