Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 84
Thorin Loong had told Zi Mei the whole truth about him being a dragon shapeshifter and how they were a contracted couple previously, when he had offered her millions to be his mistress and to bear him heirs. He fell unconscious almost immediately, leaving a panicked Zi Mei.
She tried to make sense of the things he told her before he passed out. It didn’t sound very nice to be told that she was a mistress to a rich dragon and that she had signed a contract to bear him heirs. In short, she is his contractual baby making slave.
She went over to the furthest armchair, curled on it and hugged herself as thoughts of her so-called contract with Thorin Loong swirled all around her head. It didn’t make sense at all. Not a single bit of sense. How is it even possible for him to wipe out all her memories and her friends’ memories and then plant new ones?
Then she thought of the millions in her savings. Maybe she didn’t win the lottery after all. She gasped. Did she already give him babies? Maybe that’s why she’s back at home and not with him anymore.
She lifted her singlet and looked at her smooth flat belly. No signs of her ever having delivered a baby. No stretch marks. Maybe he got rid of that for her too. Imagine, having the ability to eliminate stretch marks and scars. He would be rich, she thought. But then, he is already ultra rich. A billionaire. So, he doesn’t even need to sell his stretch mark healing ability, she thought.
“Where are the babies then? Did he keep them somewhere? Maybe with a nanny somewhere else? ” At the thought of babies, she felt a slight pang, like a heartache, of something missing. It was as if she had lost something and couldn’t remember what.
Holding on to that feeling, she searched her memories again, trying to remember even a tiny bit. If she had indeed given him babies, surely she would remember them. What mother could forget their own babies? She tried to imagine babies that looked like Thorin and her but nothing came to mind. Then she tried to think of her pregnant, her belly round and large. She stroked her belly to try to remember but again nothing.
What did he mean that she can choose to stay or leave? If she had already given him babies, why should she remain with him? Her job must be done. That was why she has the millions and was living a carefree life of a college student…until her father turned up. Until those gangsters turned up.
Thinking about the gangsters reminded her that her father could still have been kept hostage. She had totally forgotten about the gangsters after Thorin Loong turned up with Lim, the bodyguard, and then Darren became a demon.
Now she is frantic with worry. What if they killed her father? What then? She didn’t even know if they ever turned up at her house again after they were released by the police. Not that she has to worry about her own safety now since she isn’t at her house.
“Jazzmine and Sheena!” she gasped. What if those men turned up when her friends are still in her house and just getting up? She doesn’t know how long they will still unconscious after the demon attack.
She looked at the unconscious Thorin Loong. She looked at the front door. What is she to do? Should she leave and go check on her friends first, then get help for Thorin Loong?
But how to get help? She can’t even go to a vet and tell the vet “I have an injured dragon in human shape,”. The vet may think she’s crazy and call for the asylum to pick her up. She can’t go to a doctor and say the same thing either.
“I’ll go check where the door leads to first,” she said to herself. She doesn’t even know where it leads to. She got up and went over to the door, pausing to look at Thorin Loong for a moment when she walked pass him.
At the door, she took a deep breath and hoped that it leads to a familiar place, then she opened it. She stared at the scene in front of her and her mouth fell open.
It looked like an ancient oriental palace, the type one see in Chinese period dramas. There was a wide expense of flagstone covered land leading up to the main building of the palace. It is surrounded by several other buildings of the same architecture. On top of the main building, two intricately carved dragons sat facing each other.
A few people, not dressed in period costumes, but wearing normal modern clothes walked around busily. One of them stopped and stared at her for a brief second before turning away and walking away.
“Where is Thorin?” she heard one of them asking another one as they walked past.
“Heard he went back to the human realm to heal,” the second person replied.
“That’s ridiculous, he would heal faster if he’s here,” the first one said. They continued to converse as they walked out of hearing distance.
No one seem to take any notice of her or maybe they didn’t really care that there is a young woman in blood-covered singlet gawping at them.
She saw Jessica walking by and Zi Mei ran towards the woman, grabbing her arm.
“Jessica! Come help your husband, he is unconscious!” she said.
Jessica was staring at her in shock.
“Whattt….howw….” She gaped at Zi Mei for a second more. Then she pulled herself together and looked at Zi Mei with her serious expression.
“How did you manage to get here?” she asked.
Zi Mei pointed to the open door behind her. Jessica frowned.
“That’s not supposed to happen…only dragons can open a door and come here, not a mortal,” she muttered more to herself than to Zi Mei.
“Maybe you left it unlock or something and when I open it, it still leads here,” Zi Mei guessed. She doesn’t know how the door works but it was obvious that it got her where she could get help for Thorin Loong.
“Maybe the door realised that its master needs help so it came here for me to get help,” she said, giving this bizarre event of her opening the door to some sort of a dragon palace an excuse.
Jessica gave a bark of cold laughter.
“The door help its master? Girl, are you daft? The house and its doors are not humans with feelings, it is just a normal door and house,” Jessica said, rolling her eyes.
“Whatever, he is unconscious, maybe you should do something, I obviously can’t bring a doctor and I can’t bring a vet either,” Zi Mei said.
This time Jessica genuinely laughed.
“Vet??? VET???” she gasped before laughing again. “You are hilarious,” she said.
Zi Mei crossed her arms and glared at the woman.
“Can you get your dragon doctor or whatever you call them to come help him, you surely do not want him to die,” Zi Mei said.
