Chapter 31:

Azami

My eyes were shut closed but I didn't dare to open them. My brain felt like it was on the verge of exploding. Geez, what the fuck happened? My head turned to the side and my vision was surrounded by blond strands of hair. Then it all came back to me. I was gagged with chloroform. And he did it.

He put a hand over my body  "Don't move you only just woke up,"

My eyes turned into slits as I smacked his hand away. "You kidnapped me!" I weakly stood up but I failed to keep my balance.

The green grass felt soft and cool to the touch. It felt nice. I don't know if it was because I was drugged again somewhere down the line but I felt strangely calm - there wasn't a single ounce of anger or hatred in my blood right now.

"What's wrong with my body?" I questioned stilling looking up at the sky

His hand made contact with my leg and began rubbing up and down in a slow manner. I didn't like it in the slightest but because my body was completely relaxed I didn't show that I wanted him away from me.

"I just gave you something to calm your nerves. I can't have you thrashing about - harming yourself," He sighed pulling his hand away.

"So not only did you kidnapped me... you drugged me too," I grimaced

"Don't think of it that way. I couldn't stand on the sidelines anymore and watch yet another woman go down the same path,"

"What path? The same as his first lover? I can assure you I am not stupid enough to do anything to get me in that situation," I rolled over stretching my limbs

Fuck, I'm starting to get sleepy. I have to fight back the sleepiness is feeling. I attempted to stand up but I couldn't even lift my legs because they felt so heavy. My brain was not about to work with me today.

He gently grabbed a strand of my hair. "I know you're tired. It's okay, you can go to sleep I won't hurt you, Azami."

My hand lifted up trying to smack his hand away but I most likely just looked like a sloth with how slow my movements were. "I'm... not... tired..." My words came out slurred.

He lifted me off the grass, throwing my body over his shoulder as if I weighed absolutely nothing. Dammit! if only I could do something to shake my body awake and get out of here! As he carried me, he spoke words that I couldn't focus on. It seems that I can not fight this battle. And so, I decided to just give in and relax.

Although his words could not be heard his hand stroked my body gently. I hate this, being weak... defenseless. It wasn't like he was hurting me but I couldn't help but feel like I was being imprisoned due to my carelessness.

My eyes fluttered to the bright sun resting on my closed eyes. Beads of sweating laid on my forehead so I swiftly wiped them away. I finally took in my surroundings as sat up - I was actually in a very beautiful room.

"I don't mean to seem like a creep but I did hear the bed creek ever so slightly. Are you awake, Azami?"

I pondered if I should answer or stay quiet but nothing good would come from staying quiet plus I was hungry. "Yeah, I'm awake... sadly,"

I heard a low chuckle from escape his mouth before he continued "Well, then is it quite alright if you unlock the door so I can enter?"

"Give me a second real quick," I made my way to the bathroom to do my business and as I was washing my hands I couldn't help but to admire the largely made bathroom. It was very well decorated. Shaking my thoughts, I went over to the door and opened it.

"Sorry, about earlier... I do hope you can forgive me. It was crucial that I get you away from Lucius before he poisoned your mind with lies," He sighed sitting on the end of the bed.

The only thing I could do was watch his movements in return. "What you mean by that I can somewhat understand. Yet, kidnapping me?! That's completely out of fucking pocket!"

"I only did that for your safety."

I bit my tongue in an attempt to calm myself down "You didn't need to do that nor drug me!" I snapped but it was more muffled than anything.

"I understand your anger towards me but you need to calm down just a little."

This man just kidnapped me and drugged me and he wants me to calm down a little?! Has he gone completely mad?! It was taking everything in my power to not punch him square in the jaw.

He tilted his head slightly and smiled "Seeing as you're in your thoughts I might as well finally introduce myself." He stood up and bowed "My name is Belmont,"

"I'm Azami but you already know that, you fucking creep," I mumbled that last part

"I heard that,"

I rolled my eyes "I'm sure you did. You damned bat,"

He was laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes. I'm pretty sure what I said was NOT that funny. I ended up grimacing at the act before me. What an odd man.

"I-I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh. You're an incredible woman," He straighten his posture before going over to the door "Come on let's go eat,"

The thought of turning down his offer was quickly shut down by my growling stomach. I gave a sly smile trying not to show I was embarrassed. So in return I Reluctantly answered; "Yeah... sure,"

He clasped his hand together "Great to hear. Make sure to stay close I wouldn't want you getting lost,"

I raised a brow at that. Why would I get lost? As soon as one of my foot enter the hallway, realization weighted on my shoulder. This was NOT a your damn average mansion.

"Judging by your face I would say you're shocked and impressed. This is my castle,"

My eyes damn near exploded out of my sockets "Castle?! This is a fucking castle?!"

He nodded and led the way to the kitchen. Why the hell do all these rich people get all the good shit? I can't even afford to go to the outlets at times. Wait, I'm getting impressed and side tracked way too damn easy. I can't afford to let my guard down - especially when I've been kidnapped - he'll use me.

Lucius

Fucking Belmont! I can't believe he's been targeting her all this time! He was always a sneaky little bastard. And not to mention what that fucktard Benton is planning on doing with her.

Ace entered looking defeated "We have nothing. No leads at all."

A sigh escaped my lips "And what about her phone did you try tracking it?"

He gave a nod "Yes, but there it only shows that it's here. She unfortunately didn't have it on her when his kidnapping took effect. They could be anywhere at this point. He made he was untraceable,"

I sucked on my teeth before standing up. We're getting nowhere with this. Finding her is going to be bitch! Even if we did find her he's hiding behind too many people to figure out his exact location.
