While Micheal slept on the vehicle that drove him away, the time was quite late. His parents were getting worried about him because they didn't want to risk losing the only heir to the family. They knew that kidnappers would do anything to get their dirty hands on a child of a noble family, well Micheal was the heir!
Countless attempts on his life have been made but all failed because of his extensive premature training on his body.
They started pulling out special forces in the military to find him and investigate his whereabouts. Hackers from world wide were hired to scout different areas but they managed to keep this all secret.
The school thought it was another one of Micheal's sick leaves and the dojo master thought he was too angry to show up.
It was only when the information leaked because on of the more incompetent hackers got discovered for illegal hacking by the police. The Coltus family then had to intervene which caused a huge ruckus in the business world.
The Coltus noble heir was missing.
The news reached the school that Micheal attended. Yuuta didn't hear the news because he was occupied trying to keep the relationship with him and Natalia going at a good momentum meaning he shut out all business stuff.
His parents knew about Natalia but they didn't know her I'll intent, they thought she was a good wife for Yuuta. Her seemingly sweet personality, her looks were good as well and she was from a respectable high class branch family.
They let him off all the business meetings he ignored and all the times he cleared his schedule to be with Natalia.
Gossip was all around the school and rumours started to spread.
Micheal, known as the noble ghost, was known to be every girls dream man.
No one ever saw him but he was known to be good looking. No pictures were ever captured by the media even at birth.
His grades though were always top of the school. He beat our records set previously and won international competitions through the internet.
Mysterious, good looking apparently and smart.
All the girls were gossiping about their dream man's kidnapping making up stuff then other eavesdroppers started the rumours.
Like:
He already died
He probably wanted to make his first appearance to the media and wanted to make it flashy
There's a girl he likes and he got caught on purpose so he could save her
He got disowned by his family so he wanted a quick death but he couldn't do it himself
Stupid things like that. Rumours were then altered as time went on and became more stupid.
...
(Yuuta's POV - 4 days after the kidnapping)
I was walking around with Natalia in my grasp, my arm slung over her delicate shoulder and her face smiling with happiness.
Her expression was always so sweet and she was always so innocent and fragile, made me want to protect her.
She herself was beautiful, her school dress around her which fluttered in the wind and a little jump to each step she made which her raven hair then followed like a ribbon.
I was so mesmerise by her these days.
I was in class thinking about her when all of a sudden.
"I've been trying to hold off but this has been going too far lately! Higashi, if you don't start concentrating in class then your a waste of space in this classroom which is meant for learning!
Get out of my classroom and come back to talk to me after class!!!"
The latin teacher looked at me with daggers as she pointed to the door.
Was I really this bad in class for her to snap?
I got out of my seat without any hesitation and headed to the door.
Standing outside the classroom I check the time on my phone.
10 minutes wait, not that bad.
Dominic walked by with his book, he was going to his next class but according to the timetable he was 5 minutes late already.
"Hey Dominic," I said.
"Yuuta, why are you so calm? You know it's the fourth day already. Aren't you worried he's dead?" Dominic asked with a worried expression hinting through his eyes.
"Who?" I said back
"Micheal! He was kidnapped 4 days ago." Dominic said back in a matter of fact voice.
"Why didn't you do anything while I was unaware!" I said
"Because I still don't know if I'm to consider him friend or foe." Dominic replied dangerously.
He walked off with a cold air.
I panicked inside.
When school is over I'm going straight home to prepare for leave to find him.
Micheal, I'm sorry. I didn't realise.
At lunch I met up with my beautiful Natalia.
"Did you know Micheal was kidnapped? I'm going to go and look for him after school!" I said to her determine.
I saw her wince and looked down to see I was squeezing her hand.
"I'm sorry are you hurt?" I said to her apologetically, loosening my grip.
"I'm fine, I was just about to ask you out on a date after school. You know, our first date. Since this terrible situation has turned up I think it's better that you go." She said looking down.
I hooked a finger to lift her head up, she's asking me out on a date!
How can I refuse, suddenly all the panic about Micheal flew out of my head.
"Don't worry about it, I'll go out with you. Where do you want to go for this special occasion." I said in a soft voice.
"I don't mind where, you take me somewhere." She said with a smile.
"Ok then" I replied.
I got my first date with Natalia!
...
All the high class people knew about the kidnapping and all wanted to help. They also all had the same thought. I do find the Coltus heir that noble family will owe me a favour!
My high class family will have a chance to marry into a noble family.
All humans have the capability to be greedy, all humans have the capability to be nice. They are both true but...
You can't survive in this cruel world of greedy humans being nice.
