Kidnapped? What the hell? Arvin was in utter anger. He never thought that someone would dare kidnap his wife in J City, let alone in this very day they have gotten their marriage license.
Tianyu Bay was a six-star hotel that belonged to his older brother's company. Why would the kidnapper take Angela there?
At the thought of this, he was bewildered. But the mere thought that Angela was at the hands of kidnappers stopped him from thinking further. "Wait for me!" Arvin replied shortly and left his apartment right away.
Kent was on his way back after driving Arvin to the apartment. He was in the silver Pagani, driving speedily along the wide road. He was called back by Arvin, "Ask someone to go to Room 1888 in Tianyu Bay!"
When he picked Arvin up, Kent was forced to sit in the passenger seat. He immediately took his mobile phone out, opened his contacts list, and asked, "What happened, Mr. Gu?"
"Something bad happened to Angela, " Arvin answered him shortly and maneuvered the steering wheel skillfully. The silver Pagani overtook one car after another.
"Something bad?" Kent opened his mouth in shock.
He wondered, 'Who is ignorant enough to kidnap Arvin Gu's wife in J City, the Gu family's territory?'
Arvin's apartment and Tianyu Bay was only a 5-minute drive. Braking sharply, Arvin stopped his car at the entrance of the hotel.
At the sight of Arvin's car, a bellboy came up to him immediately and greeted Arvin and Kent politely, " Mr. Gu, Mr. Jiang!"
"Take it, " Arvin responded and nonchalantly threw his car keys to the bellboy. He quickly strode into the hotel.
The bellboy took the keys and drove the car to the parking lot.
In the hotel, four ceremonial usherettes in red cheongsams and white shawls bowed to and greeted Arvin and Kent, "Welcome, Mr Gu and Mr Jiang!"
Arvin nodded and walked to the elevator straight away without waiting for the usherettes. Kent sped up his pace in order to catch up with Arvin.
Because he was preoccupied with thoughts of Angela in danger, Arvin even neglected the facial expressions of the bellboy and the usherettes.
He was familiar with the layout of the hotel. The elevator arrived at the 18th floor. And when the door opened, he rushed out to find Room 1888 right away.
When he found the room, there was a waiter standing beside its door. The waiter greeted him and Kent, and opened the door.
Arvin was too anxious to respond to him and darted into the room at once.
The moment he and Kent entered the room, the waiter closed the door.
The room was dark because all the curtains were closed. Arvin couldn't see what was inside the room. It was pitch-black, and no one was making a sound.
The room was so quiet that he could not hear anything except Kent's breathing.
This was all strange. He could not figure out what was happening.
"Angela!" He called out to his wife.
At that moment, a lightbulb was turned on.
In the dim light, Arvin was then able to see that he was standing on a carpet covered with rose petals.
And strangely, there was a full-course meal set on a dinner table right beside him.
Kent wanted to explore the room further. But Arvin didn't think it was a good idea, so he stopped Kent and walked in alone.
After walking inside, the sight in front of him changed his anxiety and gloom into... surprise and resignation.
The big, round bed in the middle, which used to be white-colored, turned red and was adorned with red pillows and a red quilt.
The curtains around it were also in an auspicious red color.
A women in a white bath towel lay on the bed, looking at him playfully. The bath towel gradually slipped from her body with every movement she made.
