Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 69
Someone was knocking on Zi Mei’s door, telling her to open up and that he ‘meant her no harm’ and Darren is calling Zi Mei. Zi Mei decided to answer Darren’s call.
“Darren?” she answered.
“Mei! I am glad I caught you. I am so gonna be late and I am hoping you can take down notes for me in class later?” Darren asked. He sounded perfectly normal. Just a regular college kid and her best friend of many years.
Why was she so afraid of him? Other than his super finger that can elongate like elastic man, Darren is still Darren. Maybe she is wrong to be afraid of him.
“Oh sure Darren, will do,” she replied, keeping her tone normal. She considered telling Darren that there’s a strange man knocking on her door but decided against it. She can handle this on her own surely.
“Great! Thanks Mei, see you later at break time,” Darren said cheerfully before hanging up.
The man at the door is still knocking relentlessly. Should she call the police? But what does she tell the police? ‘A man is knocking on my door’ doesn’t sound very threatening. Could it be her father’s loansharks again? This sounds like a more plausible explanation. She wouldn’t put it past her father to have gambled away all the money she gave him yesterday and to have racked up a huge debt with a loanshark again.
The thought that she will never be able to escape her father’s gambling debts angered her. This made her so angry, she stomped downstairs, swung open the inner door and stared at the man standing outside through the louvre of the outer door.
“What do you want?” she demanded fiercely. She will tell him to fuck off if he is another loanshark. She will claim that she doesn’t know a Tan Zan Chun and that she is not related to him at all.
“Miss Tan… finally, I was sent here to make sure you are safe,” the man said. He looks to be in his 40s with a ruddy complexion, tall and stout.
What is this, some sort of a scam? She studied him suspiciously.
“Who sent you?” she asked.
“Mr Loong of Loong Group Holdings,” he replied. “My name is Yeow,”
She continues to regard him suspiciously. He could be anyone. He could have seen Thorin at her house yesterday.
“I don’t need some man to come here and keep me safe,” she told him.
“I am only following orders Miss Tan,” he replied.
“Right and I am the Queen of England,” she said sarcastically. He sounded and looked like a scammer. Or a conman. Or something even more sinister, like a robber. She will never open her door for him.
“Look, just let me in, I am here to check your house to make sure you are secure,” he said.
She backed away from him. That sounded so suspicious.
“Thanks but no thanks!” she told him and then she slammed the inner door shut, pulling the bolt into place for good measure.
Great. Now she is stuck at home. She can’t go out with that sinister man standing outside her door. He couldn’t break in for sure. No one can break through two layers of thick wooden door with heavy bolts in place. He couldn’t enter through her windows either since all the windows are covered by intricate iron work.
She went back inside to her living room and sat down on her lounge. What will she do now? She decided to text Darren and tell him that she is also running late so she won’t be able to take notes for him.
Now, she is at a loss over what to do. The man continued to knock on her door, asking her to open it. Is that enough grounds to call the police to get rid of him? He did not display any violence so there are no grounds to feel threatened by him and yet she is.
She went back upstairs to her room to hide. She can skip college today. She will avoid going out and avoid that man outside at all costs. She is now a prisoner in her own home. She took out her phone to call Jazzmine. Maybe Jazzmine can help.
Jazzmine’s phone rang and rang and went unanswered. She tried her a few times but couldn’t reach her. She tried Sheena instead. The same thing. Sheena was not answering her phone either. She really didn’t want to call Darren so she didn’t.
As she sat curled up on her bed, her thoughts automatically went back to Thorin Loong and her erotic fantasies of him. She must be crazy to have imagined so many x-rated scenarios with the handsome CEO WHO IS A MARRIED MAN, she reminded herself.
Yet, she couldn’t help replaying those images in her mind. It was just too tempting not to replay and just think about his hard muscled body on top of hers. She felt a thrill travel down her body at the thought and her little pleasure nub throbbed in desire. At this rate, she might have to break out her adult toy and use it.
Jazzmine and Sheena had gave her an adult toy – a realistic looking vibrator – as a joke a couple years ago and she had never used it. She had taken it out of the box to look at it and even turned it on and giggled at its vibrations but she had never tried it.
Sheena told her it was one of the best and that she had one too. Zi Mei doesn’t believe that Sheena even needed one. She is always sleeping with one guy or another and now, she is sleeping with Darren. Her sexual needs are definitely well taken care of, Zi Mei thought.
She switched on her computer and decided to stalk Thorin Loong again. She checked out all social media and couldn’t find him in any of it. Not even on Ringstagram. He is such a private person, she thought. She fell back on scrolling through pages of business news about Thorin Loong and Loong Group Holdings.
As she continued to scroll and admire the many different poses that Thorin Loong struck in all of the pictures that accompanied the news, she heard more voices downstairs. The man must still be outside. It sounded like he is talking to someone else. A few other men.
They started banging on the door.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
“Open up!” they shouted.
This brought on another bout of deja vu. Zi Mei is certain she has faced this exact scenario a long time ago, not in this house but in the rented house she used to live in with her father.
Loansharks, she thought. They must be loansharks.
“Come out now and we will not harm your father but if you don’t come out, there are no promises to what we will do to him,” one of the men said.
So, her father has landed in trouble yet again and now he is hoping she will help him out of his trouble. She wouldn’t dare go out.
Who knows what they plan to do to her?
