Chess Piece [On-Hold]

Be My Ally!

Ming's POV

I slowly open my eyes and stare at the ceiling for don't know how long before bolting upright at the realisation of being in an unfamiliar place.

Where am I?

I look around and find myself alone in a spacious and elegant room. I observe the room I'm in right now.

In the middle of the room, is a king size bed which I'm currently sitting on it. A L-shaped sofa on the right side of the room and on its left side is a table, and across the bed, is a modern built-in TV console with a 55-inch LED TV.

The furniture in here are mostly custom-made and imported from other countries. The owner of this room is a very wealthy person.

But why? Why am I here? What is this place? And how did I end up in here?

I rub my face with my hands repeatedly, trying to clear my mind and start thinking back about how I ended up in here. I remember I was going to the carpark to retrieve my car after being dumped by Lam at the shopping mall.

I involuntarily move my right hand and touch the back of my neck. I remember... that when I was about to open my car door, I felt a sharp pain on my neck like I had been stung by a bee, and... and... I don't remember what had happened next... Did I faint?

"Looks like you have been awake." I heard an unfamiliar female voice.

I look up, a slim woman with a height of roughly 170cm or less, shoulder length dyed wavy hair, a pair of big bright eyes and an aura of authority is standing beside the door smiling at me.

She looks familiar. I must have seen her before, but I can't remember where or when I have seen her.

"Who are you? Where is this place? And why am I here?" I ask with a dry throat and a hoarse voice.

"Drink some water." She throws a bottle of water to me.

I twist open the bottle cap and take a sip from the bottle.

"N'Ming, don't you remember me? You have seen me before, at my wedding reception." She stated.

At her wedding??

I was puzzled at first but not for long, and I gasp when the recognition of who she is has struck me.

"You...you are P'Danson's bride, Pha's sister-in-law!"

"That's right. You do remember me." She says cheerfully.

I heard from my father that the one P'Danson had married is the daughter of the Varodom family, one of the wealthiest and powerful families in Thailand.

The Varodom family has three sons and one daughter. There are a lot of businessmen have been trying to marry their sons or daughters into that family, and my father will be one of them if my sister is still alive. I can only say, not everyone is as lucky as P'Danson, to be able to marry the princess of that family.

"Hello~ Are you still here? Back to earth please... We have serious matters to discuss and I have no time to waste."

"Sorry." I apologise for being in a trance when she is just standing right in front of me.

"It's ok."

"Why am I here? And how did I get here? Definitely not on my own. You just said, we have serious matters to discuss. What do you mean by that? I barely know you, so how can we have serious matters to discuss? What do you want from me?" I ask with tons of questions in my head.

"You are here because I have some serious matters that needed your help, so I 'invited' you here. You were drugged and carried to here from the carpark where your car is right now by my men. You don't need to know me, you just need to do what I want you to do. I want you to help me." She answers my questions calmly.
