Arc 1: 1. 21

During the 15 mins ride in the minivan with these black wear men, Ivan was thinking about how he could inform Fredrick about their situation and the action that these men planned to do. Moreover, the most ridiculous thing in his mind right now was why did he need to be involved in the female lead danger situation.

He didn't know that it was instinct to save someone or he was scared that the world would collapse. Now that he was in this situation, there was no turning back, he could only persist to the end, waiting for the rescue. As he backed to think about how to connect to Fredrick, he heard his system stated in his mind.

[Host, don't worry about him not knowing that you're missing or about your location. The watch, necklace, and bracelet you're wearing, all have the GPS, location detector. Moreover, your watch can record videos with pictures and sound. So you can sit still, don't provoke them to kill you sooner than they plan to.]

[Really? I didn't know that. Because back in my world, the appearance of a smartwatch seems to be easily recognized. But can you alert Fredrick and Andres for me although I know he will know but with your alert, they might come earlier and finish this as fast as possible. I'm scared if the situation becomes worse.]

[Seriously? Aright, I will alert both of them, stop complaining. I didn't know that you can be this talkative.]

[My talkative base on the topic, even though I'm a 70% introvert.]

After talking with his system, he tried to turn on the camera in video mode. The technology in this world was slightly advanced than his original world. As he had turned on it without alerting the men, he turned to look at Belinda that sat by him. She seemed to not wake up from the drug yet. The car was silent for the whole ride to the destination.

Blackie sent an anonymous text message to Andres' and Fredrick's phone stated that Belinda was kidnapped along with Ivan from the supermarket to an unknown location. Both of them started checking the GPS that they put in Belinda and Ivan, and they really saw that the two of them were moving on the road to the suburb of A city.

They contacted one another and notified the police and operated the investigation about the kidnapper. Andres and Fredrick hurried driving their car along with dozen of bodyguards fully armed, following the red dot on their computer screen. They arrived shortly in 10 mins after the minivan arrived first.

When the minivan arrived at the abandoned factory, the men tossed both of them inside the darkroom. Belinda finally woke up due to the impact of falling on the ground because Ivan didn't catch her in time.

She opened her eyes and looked at the dim light. She had fully woken up when she saw the shining object, the sharp knife. She didn't dare to open her mouth because she was scared that she shouted and made them kill her immediately.

She looked around and finally saw that Ivan was beside her tied up. Ivan after seeing her wake up whispered into her ear, "Andres and Fredrick will soon arrive here, so don't worry. Also, don't provoke them or we might meet with Satan."

Belinda nodded her head and kept silent while staring into the back of the black wear men. The men were discussing how to kill them without leaving any evidence behind and the deal between them and their client.

One of the men said, "Boss, why do they need us to kill her? She's quite pretty. Why don't we taste her first and kill afterward? It's such a waste to kill a beauty like that, don't you think so? Anyway, they only told us to get rid of her."

Another man among them said, "What about that average-looking young lad? We should kill him first or after the girl?"

They discussed for 7 mins straight and they came to a conclusion, killing both of them at the same time. The five of them walked toward Ivan and Belinda.

Man A, who was the boss that was mentioned at the conversation, spoke up, "Do you have any last words to say?"

Belinda shouted the question that she had been doubting for a while after talking with Ivan, "Why do you kidnap me?"

Man B replied, "Because someone wanted you dead."

"Then could you tell me who that was?"

Man B looked at his comrade and his boss, unsure whether he could disclose their client information. Man A nodded his head indicating that he could say because dead men tell no tales.

Man B replied to Belinda, "Do you know the head of Madison family?"

"Madison?"

Ivan muttered this name quietly. It looked like it related to Harley who was sent to jail. That maybe drove her father, the head of Madison's family crazy. From what he read the storyline, he could deduct that Harley's father really loved his only daughter so much that he could do anything for her.

Now that his daughter was sent to prison by Andres, of course, he targeted the nearest person of Andres and that was Belinda. However, he wanted to kill Belinda regarding he might offend Godrick's family after he was found out, he seemed to not care at all.

During this time after they told them about Madison, they started to prepare their weapon and stuff. What they didn't know was that the entire journey was being recorded by the watch that Ivan's wearing. This evidence could send them and Madison's family head straight to the jail.

They finally finished their preparation in 2 mins because they wasted a minute talking with Ivan and Belinda who would soon die. All of them had gloves on, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in one hand. They proceeded walking back to Ivan and Belinda. They stopped before both of them.

Man A suddenly asked, "Do you want a gun or knife?"

Ivan swallowed his saliva and timidly asked them, "Can I not choose both of them?"

Man B laughed at Ivan, "HAHAHA, do you think you have a choice? Boss, just joking with you."

Man C and Man D, who was holding a gun, lifted it up and one pointed it at Ivan and the other pointed at Belinda. Both of them shut their eyes tightly, even though they knew that Andres and Fredrick were on their way to rescue them, but the situation right now was really urgent.

Before the gun could trigger and take both of their lives, the door of the factory was forcefully kicked open, revealing Andres, Fredrick, and the police force along with their bodyguard. The black wear men were subdued in the nick of time by the police and the bodyguards.

Fredrick and Andres quickly went to Ivan and Belinda who were tied to the factory's metal pillar. Fredrick hugged Ivan tightly and asked if he was okay or if he was scared. There would no doubt that it was a scary and tense moment. Who didn't feel scared of this kind of situation?

Fredrick helped untie the rope on Ivan and Andres did the same to Belinda's rope. After untying the rope, Fredrick helped Ivan get up, but at that moment Ivan's legs turned to jelly, and fell back to the ground.

"It seems like I cannot walk right now."

Ivan gave a rather helpless smile to Fredrick, then Fredrick picked Ivan up and carried him in a princess style. Ivan didn't voice out how he was carried because right now he suddenly felt tired. The rescue mission was successful without any casualty. Ivan told Fredrick about the recorded video and let him take it as evidence to the court.

With the combination of Godrick and Radford's strength, Madison's business eventually went bankrupt and the head of Madison family, Harley's father, the perpetrator, was sentenced to imprisonment for 7 years plus with the attempting to murder for the rest of his life. Thus, he would spend his last whole life in prison. Those five were sentenced to life imprisonment.

At long last, everything has ended well and they all went back to their daily life and happiness. Soon the date of Fredrick's and Ivan's wedding was getting near. Ivan was busy sorting out the invitation and Fredrick was busy taking care of the revenue and stuff.

Right after the kidnapping case, Fredrick and Ivan visited Fredrick's family. The number of people during the gathering at that time, to say that it was one whole school wasn't a problem because Fredrick's relative, the main branch alone was over 100 people, if he included those in branch family, then it would be too many to count. He was so dead tired just by standing still, smiling, and greeting people.

However, today was the day they would be officially husband and husband. It was held on the 27th floor of the Radford Hotel. The revenue was decorated in a blue and white theme. The guest gradually filled the empty seat on both sides of the aisle.

The light became dimmer and it lightened up two spots, one was the door of the revenue and the other was at the end of the white carpet where a handsome Fredrick stood at the side cloaked in a white suit and a priest stood holding a holy book in the middle.

The music was echoing slowly as the door was slowly opened, a silhouette of a man walked on the white carpet step by step. Beside him, an elderly man in his 50s walked with him. The duo walked toward the end of the carpet along with the cheering voice of people. The elder man then gave Ivan's hand to Fredrick who stood there. Then the priest started the ceremony.

"I, Fredrick Audrey Radford, take thee, Ivan Coleman, to be my wedded husband, a lifetime partner, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, I pledge myself to you."

"I, Ivan Coleman, take thee, Fredrick Audrey Radford, to be my wedded husband, a lifetime partner, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, I pledge myself to you."

"Please exchange rings."

Fredrick took the ring box from Andres who was his groomsmen and unboxed it. He put it on Ivan's left ring finger, and Ivan did the same thing. After the exchange, the priest then announced.

"Now I present to you a newly married couple, Fredrick Audrey Radford and Ivan Coleman."

Fredrick pulled Ivan to a deep and sweet kiss with the cheering sound from the guest in the hall. After this, it was dinner party time. Fredrick and Ivan changed into a dark blue couple suit and Ivan took a hold of Fredrick's hand in one hand and the other hand he's holding a microphone. They walked and stood in the middle of the dance floor.

Smooth music was played as Ivan sang the first line of the song. He only looked at Fredrick's eyes the whole time he sang.

I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me

I still feel your touch in my dreams

Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why

Without you, it's hard to survive

'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling

And every time we kiss I swear I could fly

Can't you feel my heartbeat fast, I want this to last

Need you by my side

'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static

And every time we kiss I reach for the sky

Can't you hear my heartbeat so I can't let you go

Want you in my life

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky

They wipe away tears that I cry

The good and the bad times we've been through them all

You make me rise when I fall
