Francesca woke up to a dark, heavy room with no windows. She looked around as she was laying on an old bed with no pillows. She was glancing around, but couldn't see things clearly. Francesca tried to remember what just happened, but could only remember Ivy and Alex passing out right in front of her. The more she tried to remember, the dizzier her head became. Suddenly, the door was locked open.
"Oh, you're awake? That's good cuz I was about to wake you up babe," he said, looking like a hungry wolf ready to eat this cute little red riding hood. "You must be hungry, let me get you something to eat, sweetheart" He blew a kiss before he left as he locked the door. Francesca, on the other hand, had a discomfort feeling crawling inside her stomach. She tried to think of a way to get out, but her head was still dizzy. She managed to get up, but as soon as she heard the keys hitting the lock, she ran back to bed.
"Here," he said. "Eat and drink this baby," he handed her a bowl of rice and a half-drunk up bottle.
She received the bowl and the water bottle but refused to eat or drink. "Baby girl, you're not hungry?" he asked, looking at Francesca.
"You know what? You are very pretty tho, what about we leave this place together hmm?"
He came closer and sat next to her and slowly started to touch her. She was feeling more uncomfortable and disgusted at the same time. While he was focusing on touching her, she slowly grabbed the bowl beside her with her right arm, and before he could touch further, she pushed him and smacked him with the bowl of rice on his head. Everything went so fast that he didn't have the time to react. She smacked him hard with the bowl and pulled him up when he fell down and continue smacking him, but this time on the wall until he lost his consciousness. She checked if he was breathing, sighed in relief, and searched on his pocket, and found several keys and a car key.
She went outside and tried to find the way out, luckily this place was a big old broken storage house. Francesca snuck out carefully and found the exit she was looking for. Unexpectedly, a few men were sitting and smoking at a close distance to the exit.
Everyone was looking confused at Francesca. "Isn't that the chick we kidnaped earlier today? Wasn't brother David with her? How did she get out?"
Before they could get any answer, Francesca sprung towards the cars. They all panicked and shouted at her before they pulled out their guns and started to fire at her. One of them hit her left arm and she fell down. They thought that she now lying on the grown with her injured arm, but when they were looking for her, she was already on her feet running towards the cars. She unlocked the car that belongs to the key car she had in her hand and drove fast as she could.
She manages to get away from the old big storage house but had two cars behind her shooting at her. Francesca saw the traffic light was almost turning back to red and speeded up, she successfully drove to the other side while the others were stuck when the boom went down and madly cursed on the train that was passing by. She looked at the side-view mirror and was only slowing down when she was far away from the train.
She was about to turn to the left when she felt a sharp pain on her left arm getting worse but still tried to have her both hands on the steering wheel. Francesca accelerates faster and after a quick 25 minutes car ride the car stopped inside a little forest near some apartments. She was sitting and wondering how the hell she'll get rid of this car because the kidnappers could track the car. She was looking at the back seat, then at the front seat. Nothing. She stared at the glow inventory, sighed at how stupid she was for not thinking about checking there in the first place. She opened the inventory, found a lighter. "Yes," she thought, something to come handy. Francesca got out of the car, looked at the back seat again. Nothing explosive. ��Maybe there's something in the back of the car" and opened the back door. A small gas can, just enough to burn down the evidence.
She took out the gas can and poured it over the whole car and took out the lighter she found earlier. Francesca lighted up the lighter throw it at the car and ran away. After a few seconds, the car exploded. She tried to run as fast as she could but was a bit slow and was blown away by the strong wind. She fell down to the grown and groaned in pain. Francesca was trying to focus on breathing for a second before she forced herself up and tried to use her last energy to walk not caring that the little forest was burning. She struggled to walk but refused to give up before she came to her destination.
After walking for a bit she was now standing in front of an apartment near the forest and went inside. She pressed on the doorbell but nobody answer the first time she became inpatient and started pressing on the doorbell many times until she heard someone yelling "Stop pressing the motherfucking doorbell, I'm on my way!"
The door was finally open and a man in his late 20s was standing there with his messy hair all over the place. He was wearing dirty oval-shaped glasses, a colorful Avenger boxer along with a white baggy t-shirt, and black crocs.
He was looking grumpy as hell. "What the fuck do you want? Wait, Francesca? Francesca Shen?"
"Oh, hey I was just passing by," said Francesca before she passed out in front of him.
"What the Fuck? Sigh. Another day another human passing out in front of me," said Dr. Taylor rolling his eyes before carrying her up.
Francesca felt someone was checking up on her once in a while but she didn't have the energy to open her eyes to look for who it was. Several hours later she felt a hand on her forehead. She opened her eyes in anxious and slapped the person so hard that made him fall backward.
"Aghhh, What the hell? Is this how you thank your lifesaver?" asked Dr. Taylor rubbing his right cheek.
Francesca was looking at him closely before sighed in relief. "I thought you were one of the kidnappers."
"What? Kidnapers? Who dares to kidnap you?" asked Dr. Taylor standing up while still rubbing his right cheek.
"Before I answer your question can I please have some water first?" she said while leaning back at the headboard.
Dr. Taylor was looking at her annoyingly. "Yes, your highness."
He came back with a glass of water and gave it to her. She took a few sips before telling him everything that happened from when Ivy and Alex passing out in front of her to she was being locked in the big old storage house.
"Does elder Shen know about this?" asked Dr. Taylor while he took out his iPhone X.
"OMG!!! No, he doesn't! Can I borrow your iPhone?" asked Francesca at the same time taking his iPhone from him.
Dr. Taylor looked speechless at her. He first let her sleep on his queen-size bed, he then helped her with her injuries, he was also slapped by her and now she took his iPhone. What is next? Giving his whole apartment to her?
Francesca called the home phone and butler Gu was the one who picked up. When he mentions Francesca's name elder Shen immediately stood up from the couch and took the phone.
"Little Flower? Are you okay? Where are you? Do you know where you are? Are you alone or are you with someone else?" asked elder Shen anxiously.
"Yes, pa? I don't know if you remember The Williams pa, but I'm at Taylor William's apartment," she said.
"The Williams? Of course, I remember them they are one of the most well-known family doctors in Z-City. But how did you get there?" asked elder Shen confusingly.
"Pa it's better if I answer your question when I see you. Can you please come and pick me up?" asked Francesca.
"Yes little flower, pa will pick you up, can you share your location to pa," asked elder Shen looking at assistant Yu and the policeman who was standing waiting patiently.
Elder Shen waited for a few seconds and got a notification over a location sent by Dr. Taylor's phone. "Get the car ready I got the location on where my granddaughter is."
Elder Shen's white Bentley GT, the bodyguard's two white Honda Civic, and a Volkswagen police car drove off. They found the place pretty quick and saw already a police car and a fire truck already there, the fire was now gone but half of the little forest was now burnt down. Elder Shen became inpatient and ran towards Dr. Taylor's apartment once the car was parked and left everyone behind. He pressed the doorbell and Dr. Taylor opened and this time wore pants on. Before Dr. Taylor could say anything elder Shen stormed in, he saw how stressed elder Shen was and said that Francesca was lying in his bedroom which was the first door to the left.
Elder Shen opened the door and saw Francesca was lying on the bed with her eyes close. "Little flower! Pa is here"
Francesca opens her eyes and saw elder Shen. He looked worn out. She thought he was about to scold her for not listen to him when he wanted her to have at least 5 bodyguards with her, and then he went for a big bear hug.
Dr. Taylor was about to go in and talk to elder Shen, but then he saw elder Shen giving Francesca a big bear hug. He didn't want to ruin this family moment and walked over to the exit door. He saw two policemen and assistant Yu walking in. He told them everything and said to wait a bit before questioning Francesca.
After Francesca told elder Shen about how she was kidnapped, a silence broke out. Elder Shen felt his whole body was warming up by and felt like he could murder someone right now.
"Pa I wanna study business," said Francesca.
