Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Zelda Stevens~

Zelda's eyes widen on hearing what the stranger had just said "W-What? What do you mean I'm being kidnapped? What sort of sick joke is this.? Please stop the car ." She says nervously and the man starts to laugh

"Oh wow, You really do not want to be kidnapped." He says and Zelda paused "What do you mean!?" She asked but the car stopped abruptly.

"Come on, We are here now so you might want to get down from the car." The man says and got down from the car, he opened the door for Zelda and she came down and looked at her surroundings. She really couldn't tell what it was exactly or where they were. "Come on, let's go." The man says and holds her wrist, Zelda jerked her hand free and pointed to the man "What rubbish is this? Where did you bring me and why am I here?" She says and the man looked at her weirdly

"If truly you were being kidnapped, would you fight with your kidnapper with a pointed finger?" He says and she glared at him "Don't act smart, why am I here?" She says and he sighs "If you come with me then you will find out exactly why you are here." He says and she looked at him a little longer and dropped her hand "Fine, lead the way." She says and the man shrugged. They walked into the building and passed a passage. They eventually came to a halt when he pushed a door open and gestured at her to follow him.

Zelda followed him cautiously into the room that was set up like an office and furrowed her eyebrows. She legit thought she was being kidnapped so she expected dark room with one window and a lone chair with some ropes to fill the equation. But instead she was in a office. Why was she in a office?

A man emerged from a door Zelda hadn't noticed was there and her eyes widen on seeing who it was "You!" She says and the man nodded as he took a sit

" You ordered this Dipshit to kidnap me?" She says and both men eyes widen "Who is this Dipshit?" The man who had allegedly kidnapped her says "Kidnap? I didn't kidnap you." He says and Zelda rolled her eyes "You brought me here against my will, If that isn't called kidnap then I don't know what is." She says and the man sighed

"Listen Zelda, That was the only way to see you and get us to talk without the paparazzi getting in our business." He says and she scoffed.

"The only way! The only way you say?" She yelled and he nodded dismissively. "Yeah. What other way is there?" He says and she smiled

"I don't know, maybe telling this Dipshit to call my manager and organize a meeting for us or maybe call me instead and we see but no. You choose to kidnap me." She says and he sighs

"Fine. I agree there was a better way than bringing you here like this so I apologize. But we need to address the situation at hand." He says and she sighs, taking a seat on the chair "True, How did the media even find out about this?" She says and he scoffed "How else if not for you." He tells her, Zelda snapped her head towards him "What's that supposed to mean uh? As far as I remember I am lodged into your hotel so it means one of your dumb staff leaked the video." She snapped back at him and he sighed "Alright, What do we do now because I hate to be associated with your kind." He says and that seemed to break Zelda

"My kind? What the fuck do you mean by my kind? You think I want to be associated with a snobby rich, arrogant man like you? I don't even want to be seen with you. I don't want my name to pop up beside your boring name so think twice before saying 'My kind'" She snapped and they both glared at each other.

"If I may talk." The other man attempts to talk but he was shut down by the both of them "No, You may not." They both say at the same time and continued glaring at each other. "Fine. I apologize for my choice of word but you should understand what I mean Zelda, I am engaged to be married in a month's time and it is absolutely demeaning to be in this situation." He says

"Well we wouldn't be in this situation if you weren't drunk that night and walked into my room." She snapped and sighed

"Sorry. But yes what do we do!?" She asked "Well, I might have a solution for you both but then you both might want to sit down and listen to me." The man says and they all sat down.

"How about we set up a press conference where Liam and Samantha are present and also you Zelda and your management. We tell them that Liam was in your suite that day because Zelda was helping with you and Samantha's wedding plans and also we have Samantha confirm that She had told Liam to meet with Zelda. Is that believable?" He says and they both shrugged

"It's worth the shot." Liam says and Zelda shrugs "It's fine by me. So when do we have the press conference?" She says "When I am able to convince Samantha that I don't have anything to do with you, we can have the conference then." He says and they all sighed again.

"How about you let me speak to her and maybe I can convince her it is all a big misunderstanding." Zelda says

"It's a nice idea but I would rather try to convince her first, If it doesn't work then I can chip you in." He responds

"Whatever works." Zelda says and stood up

"You're driving me to work Dipshit." She says and the man eyes widen "My name is Jason and No! I am not driving you to work because I am no one's driver." The Jason man says and Rielle rolled her eyes "You brought me here against my will and now you will take me to work. I'm not asking you Jason, I am telling you." She says and he rolls his eyes.

"Do your worst." He says and she raises her phone "My dad was the field marshal of the US army, If wouldn't take him a minute to get to you." She says

"Jason, Just take her to work please." Liam interjects and the man pouted "But I don't want to." He whined and Liam raised his eyebrows

"Fine, Let's go. Miss my dad was the field marshal of the US army." He says sarcastically and she rolled her eyes. "Do me a favor and call me when it's time for the conference." She says and Liam raised his eyebrows "I don't have your number." He replied her.

"I'll give it to Jason." She says and walked out of the office.

Even though she was brought her against her will, The press conference was a good plan and should be able to get them out of the mess they were in.

Or would it? How hard could it be to convince Samantha?
