Brandon's POV
"Why isn't the ceremony starting?" One of my guests whispered loudly.
"Maybe the bride back out? I can be the substitute."
"Shh! Shut your mouth, he's not the type of guy you can deal with pleasure."
I just massage my temple because of frustration, so instead of listening to my guest's mumblings. I head outside the church and approach the guard on duty. My wife cannot be missing, and I can assure myself that. Not unless she chose to run away.
What a clever idea, Sierra.
"Mr. Miller," Felix bowed in respect.
"Why isn't the car coming? Did you call the driver?"
He nodded, "We did, sir. We even confirmed it."
"How can you tell she didn't escape? I believe you have any idea what'll happen to you, Felix."
"I am, sir."
"Then why aren't you doing anything?"
He didn't answer, causing me to wipe my face in annoyance, "Call that freaking driver!"
Felix immediately dialed to his phone while I cannot wait any longer. That woman, she's testing me! This is frustrating, the guests were waiting inside and that woman made me look like an i***t!
I should make an assurance before hiring her, she's a stripper and women like her desperately need my money. So, Sierra thinks she can get away from me?
She's wrong.
"Sir, we received a call from the driver's number."
I accept it, "Where the hell are you? I didn't pay you to make me wait!"
[Chill, Brandon. We have your wife, she's in the right hand. I'll assure you that.]
Tsk, this man. He never learns.
"You never play fair, Chua. Where is she."
[Missed your wife already? She's here, asleep.]
"What do you want? Why did you kidnap he"
[You know what I want, Brandon. You're holding half of my businesses and never get fair money, you have to give me 50% of the stocks.]
I chuckled sarcastically, "This again? You really had a small brain, didn't you?"
[Insult me as you want. Just give me what I want.]
I glanced at Felix and he already understood it, and made his way to the car. I start approaching my car while talking to this crap.
"Assurance?" I inquired after finally hopping inside.
[You'll get your gorgeous wife safe and sound, and I get what I asked you to give. Give and take.]
"Where?"
[Hmm, since you brought a lot of dogs before. We can make the transaction to my newest den, near to the lake and far from the road.]
"I'll be there within 15 minutes."
[Great, I'll wait for you.]
I drop the call and lean to my seat, this isn't part of my plans. That foolish man tried to mess with me several times, so I'm giving him what he wanted.
"Felix."
"Yes, sir?"
"New place. Near the lake, far from the road. That's the location."
"Copy that, sir."
"Tell our men to bring more guns. We are going to a party," I murmured.

@ABANDONED MALL, NEAR THE LAKE.
Sierra's POV
Argh! My head hurts! I couldn't believe they hit me.
Wait, where am I again? Oh, I was supposed to marry a stranger but someone kidnapped me without telling me the reasons. Well, except for the fact that the man is my mom's creditors.
This is overwhelming. My mom left us without even telling me the place and her creditors chasing after us, so my brother and I don't have a choice but to find a better place to start. Not until a stranger approached me and offered me to be his wife.
What unexpected circumstances with unwanted experiences.
"I think our damsel in distress is awake," someone spoke and that voice came from upfront.
I am blindfolded while both of my legs and hands are tied up, but my head was hurt. So, it disturbs me.
"Where am I?" I asked, even though I can't see who the person in front of me is.
"You woke up just in time. My boss called your dear husband and any minute he'll be here, and guess what? We are going to kill him!" He laughed.
His laugh was scary! It's freaking me out!
"We'll get what we deserve and you'll meet him, but with a twist. You're going to meet in hell!" He added with a maniacally laughed.
Everyone laughed together, as if I'm some kind of a thing to trade with his life. I am scared for Brandon's life, even though I shouldn't feel this. We don't have any idea what life we went through and didn't know who our parents were.
I mean, that's not even necessary and a girl like me meets his parents? That's impossible because as far as I know, wealthy people don't accept beggars and that's me.
"What do you need from me?" I inquired.
"You owe us money, remember? But your husband owes us more than a million dollars your mother owes to us, which he can pay both. Think of it properly, I'll get what I want and he'll pay your debt."
"He has nothing to do with my debt!" I boldly said.
I swallowed deeply because behind my boldness to talk back, my fear started growing up instantly.
The man chuckled, "Your debt, his debt. As simple as that, young lady. Why don't you do the math?"
"Brandon can't be involved in my debts. To my life. I am not his wife and that's between us," I muttered.
"Sorry, but you can't manipulate me."
"I'm not manipulating you. Please, listen to me!"
He slammed the table violently, "Shut up, woman. I don't need to listen to you and don't try ordering me around because this is my place. So, be a good girl and behave. He'll be here any minute."
The man put a tape into my mouth and let him do that because first, I don't have enough strength and second, he can shoot me without hesitation. Third, I can fight him because I'm a woman.
Ugh! What an unlucky day to get married!
Hope he'll come and save me. If he didn't? I didn't know what to do!
Please, Brandon. Help me!
