Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 76

The handsome CEO Thorin Loong had carried Zi Mei from her bed, took her downstairs and opened a doorway to his home and took her there with her screaming and struggling. When he puts her down, she was shocked to find herself in a strangely familiar place, giving her a strong sense of deja vu.

At first, she had thought she was dreaming as all of it felt so unreal so she pinched herself but she is still there. Then she had demanded that Thorin Loong take her home.

“Look, I have no interest to be your mistress or anything perverted that you are thinking about, I want to go home now!” she told him.

Instead of being annoyed, Thorin Loong smiled at her response and sauntered to her. He run a gentle finger down her cheek and she shivered before jumping back from him. She glared at him.

“Don’t you dare touch me!!!” she exclaimed angrily.

Thorin Loong chuckled appreciatively and studied her.

“Ever the little spitfire,” he murmured. He glanced at his watch.

“Very well, I really have to go now, the others are waiting for me, we have a war to fight, so, I’ll leave you to explore my home on your own, just think of whatever you need and you will find it,” he said.

He turned away from her and strode off in a hurry. She stared after him and considered chasing after him. Surely he needs to go out to wherever he is going and she needs to find the exit from this place too.

Her mind made up, she ran after him, keeping her foot light so that it would not be too obvious that she is following him. However, he was too fast for her. His long legs took lengthy steps and when he rounded a corner, she ran there to find him gone.

Cursing at the speed he was walking, she stared around the room she had ended up in. It looks like a luxurious living room with a huge gold and crystal chandelier, white leather sofas with gold finishing and pearlescent white walls.

It brought on another wave of deja vu. It felt as if she has been here before. She went to one of the windows and it looked out to more of the gorgeous gardens she saw in the corridor. She checked all of the windows, all of it overlooked the same gardens.

How did she end up in this place surrounded by beautiful gardens? That is so strange! She was just in her house. At the thought of her house, she remembered Jazzmine and Sheena. They were sleeping in her guest room, according to Thorin Loong. If he was telling her the truth, that is.

She searched her pockets and was glad to find her new phone tucked into one of it. She took it out. The screen was cracked. Dammit. She just bought it too! It must have cracked when the demon threw her against the wall or maybe when it threw her off it. She tapped on the phone and hoped it is still working. It’s cracked screen lighted up, blinked a few times before it went dark.

“AUGHHHHH!!! I just bought the phone!” she shouted, throwing the phone on the floor in frustration. Now she is stuck here in this strange house which is supposedly Thorin Loong’s house without a phone to get help.

She might as well find a way out of this strange house. She started exploring it. She walked down the corridor and tried a few of the french doors. All of it opened up to different types of gardens. A rose garden. An English garden. An Eastern garden complete with gazebos and koi ponds. All of the gardens seemed to go on forever and she tried to get to the far end of one of it only to come to a tall thick hedge that she can’t get past.

She gave up going into the gardens and walked down the corridor before coming to more rooms. At one point, she was hoping to find a toilet when she opened a door and there it is. After using it, she went out and continued walking.

She walked and opened doors and walked and opened doors and each time, she seems to keep coming back to the same living room, the same corridor, the toilet. Finally, after what seemed like hours, she turned back to the living room and sat on the sofa in defeat. Her head is still throbbing and now she is dizzy too. She needed to sit down to rest her head.

She is trapped here. There didn’t seem to be any door leading out of the house which was strange. She didn’t find a kitchen or even a bedroom. What a strange house. What house doesn’t have a kitchen or bedroom? She found a library, an office, a toilet, a living room and plenty of gardens.

“Why did he kidnap me and put me here? What does he want with me?” she asked herself. Another wave of deja vu hit her. Why did she feel as if she has been in this same situation before?

“Will he come back and rape me?” she thought and fear filled her. No matter how handsome he is, she will not give in to him.

Especially when he had brought her here against her will on the pretext of ‘keeping her safe’. How can confining her here with no way for her to reach anyone outside for help be ‘keeping her safe’? Does he think she is some naive college girl who loves this kind of sick kidnapping dominating game?

With nothing to do but to stare into space, Zi Mei found herself dozing off. When she wake up, a few more hours seemed to have passed as the skies outside the windows are dark and the lights in the living room are turned on. The chandelier glinted prettily. She admired it for a moment, stretched her aching body and sat up.

She has not found anyone when walking around the whole place so who turned on the lights while she was sleeping? She looked around and saw a tray of food and drinks on the coffee table. That was strange. Thorin Loong must have servants too but she has not seen even one of them. She must have missed one of the doors leading to the kitchen and maybe even the servants’ quarters where the servants could be.

She looked at the food and her stomach growled. She might as well eat. Surely he wouldn’t poison her. She picked up a plate and tucked into the carbonara pasta. It was delicious and satisfying. When she was done, she sat back and wondered what she should do next.

Just then, she heard a door open and she turned towards the noise. Thorin Loong was walking in but there was something off about him. He was limping and her eyes widened in shock when she saw blood dripping from him, leaving a trail of red droplets behind him.

She jumped up to go towards him despite her earlier reservations about him.

“What happened? You are hurt!” she exclaimed.

He looked at her. “You sounded concerned,” he remarked coolly. He looked particularly pale. He winced and clutched at his side.

“Don’t worry, I don’t die easily,” he murmured just before he collapsed right at her feet.
