Arranged Marriage: Beneath The Rumors

Chapter 39: Room 314

The bodyguards nodded, their faces set in determined expressions. They knew they had to move fast, had to track down those kidnappers before it was too late.

Lugard's bodyguards quickly tracked down the location of the kidnappers, their eyes scanning the surrounding area for any signs of danger.

Lugard's bodyguards arrived at the hotel, their eyes scanning the parking lot for any signs of the kidnappers' vehicle. They spotted the black SUV parked in a corner, and Lugard's bodyguards exchanged grim glances.

"They're already in here," one of them whispered.

Lugard's face set in a determined expression. "Let's move in," he growled.

They entered the hotel lobby, their eyes scanning the area for any signs of the kidnappers or Lisa. But there was no one in sight.

Lugard's bodyguards approached the front desk, their guns drawn. "We're looking for a woman who was brought in here against her will," one of them said. "What room is she in?"

The receptionist trembled, his eyes wide with fear. "I-I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered.

Lugard's bodyguards exchanged skeptical glances. They knew the receptionist was lying.

Suddenly, one of Lugard's bodyguards spotted a security camera in the corner of the lobby. "Check the footage," he said.

They quickly accessed the security footage and saw the kidnappers dragging Lisa into the hotel, her struggles muffled by a gag.

Lugard's face twisted in anger. "Find out which room they're in," he growled.

The bodyguards quickly hacked into the hotel's system, their fingers flying across the keyboard.

"Room 314," one of them said finally.

Lugard's bodyguard turned and shot the receptionist in the arm, the sound of the gunshot echoing through the lobby.

The receptionist screamed, clutching his arm in agony. "Okay, okay! Room 314!" he cried.

Lugard's face was unyielding. "Let's go," he growled, striding towards the elevator.

His bodyguards followed close behind, their guns drawn. They entered the elevator, their eyes fixed on the display as the numbers ticked upwards.

Lisa's eyes fluttered open, her mind groggy and disoriented. She was met with an unfamiliar ceiling, and a wave of panic washed over her. She tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through her head, forcing her back down.

As her memories slowly returned, she realized she had been kidnapped. The car, the guards, the struggle... it all came flooding back.

Lisa's eyes adjusted to the bright light of the hotel room, and she saw that she was lying on a plush bed, surrounded by luxurious furnishings. But she knew she wasn't there by choice.

She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her back down. Her head was throbbing, and her memories were hazy.

As she struggled to remember what had happened, a figure emerged from the bathroom.

Lisa's eyes locked onto the man standing in front of her, his tailored suit and expensive watch gleaming in the soft light of the hotel room. He was a rich man, used to getting what he wanted, and Lisa could see the calculation in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Lisa demanded, trying to keep her voice steady.

"My name is Marcus the second young master of the stone family.," the man replied, his voice smooth as silk. "And you, Lisa, are my latest acquisition."
