Chapter 5 Effortlessly Abducted

Elle stood in the park while holding hands with Richardson, as they both walked through the grassy field while laughing. Richardson rattled out his phone and saw the text where he was informed about the meeting.

"Hey, honey, I have to go immediately due to this urgent meeting."

Elle pouted as she halted in the middle of the park when Richardson made a puppy expression. The young man sounded so sweet and innocent with his expressions as he touched his own ear for apology.

"You always do that, Richie. Don't talk to me."

She turned around to leave when his strong arms embraced her and pulled the lady closer.

"Hey, sweetie, you know I don't do this on purpose. I will spend the whole afternoon with you."

Richardson kissed her little exposed shoulder and stayed in the very position waiting for her reply. He was such a sweet person who actually cared for her wishes and desires.

"Okay, but do you promise to switch off your phone too?"

She turned towards him to see his face while confronting the guy, whereas all the people around witnessed the awe moment of the duo.

"I...definitely promise to do that."

Richie teased her with the intentional pause and continued with a laugh, when she smacked on his shoulder angrily.

"Okay, so as for now I have to leave immediately. Will you be able to take a cab and go home?"

He didn't want her to go home alone but had no other option since they both had to go separately, because they both wanted to stay away from the limelight. Whatever was done was enough for both of them but now they both wanted to keep their relationship private. Elle nodded and assured him that she would be fine. Richardson put on his face mask and waved the lady before he turned around to go straight to the company.

Elle rubbed her right arm and stared at him as Richie vanished from her sight.

"How grateful I am for having him, he is indeed a wonderful boyfriend."

She murmured to herself while praising him when a hoarse and angry voice resonated behind her.

"Yeah, I was a bad person, right!?"

Elle's heart raced faster after recognizing the familiar voice, she did not want to turn around but had no escape. The lady slowly and courageously turned her head only to see Ceres standing in front of her. He looked completely different from what he was six months ago.

"Ceres?"

She spoke his name and was dumbfounded to see him out of the blue, the man twitched and his face turned darker.

"Really? Now you don't even call me by my nickname anymore."

He took a step further towards her but Elle reflexively ebbed. Her act made Ceres even more guilty because he had no clue how much his presence had terrified her.

'Is she afraid of me? But why? She...she knows me, right?'

He was left to question her reaction which confused him but made the man guilty too.

"What are you doing here?"

Elle grasped her senses together again and then questioned him, while sounding tough and mighty although she was scared a little.

"Oh?"

Ceres licked his lips and glanced at her while he spoke again.

"I came to have a check on my darling, and it seems that I'm on right time since your fiance is gone at the moment."

Elle had already studied his features and knew the very moment that the man was there with an evil intention. "Don't try to do anything Ceres, I'm not related to you now in any way."

She rebuked him by shouting at the man. Ceres did not hear any of her utterances and lunged towards her, holding her wrist he stung the lady's arm with some needle. Elle' body immediately became numb and she slumped onto his arms although she was wide away but could not move.

"It's time to go back home, honey!"

She wanted to shout which he knew immediately that's why Ceres had prepared the trick to shut her mouth. The man glanced at her lovingly and scooped the lady in his arms in the bridal posture. A tear crawled down on her cheek as she stared at his devilishly handsome face, while Ceres abducted her effortlessly! But what will happen next? The man had ruined the things once again! Will Richardson stay silent after finding that his bride had been abducted right a week before their wedding!?
