chapter57 Drugged

*bang bang -gunshot *pain filled screams

rescued.

she never had a doubt that her family would save her. she was just pissed it took so long. she almost got r*ped for crying out loud. but when she got visuals on -ever so good looking Lucas, she forgot everything. even in a this kind of situation she is still capable of appreciating he's good looks. him wearing a black bullet proof jacket and fingerless gloves looking like a bad a$$ commando is not good for her heart.

"are you okay?" Lucas asked while freeing her the chains.

"you look so hot right now" Grace drawled

"I'll take that as a maybe"

"is she okay?" a really familiar voice asked

"hello Daddy dearest" her dad is dressed in the same outfit as Lucas. he look handsome too but no nearly as sexy as Lucas. she giggled at the thought of comparing her boyfriend to her dad.

"I think she has been drugged" she heard her dad say to Lucas.

"I think so too"

she was falling in and out of consciousness. she wanted to say something but her brain was hazy and her eyes were heavy. but she can't go to sleep without saying what she had to say.

"wait! wait! wait!"

"what?! what happened"

"are you hurt?!'

"are you in pain?!"

"is Jasmine and friends still alive?"both of them look at her like she grew a second head. she still has to shaved that girl's hair and give them lessons on 'how to properly slap your enemies'

"they are alive" that's all she needed to know before she blacked out.

~~~~~~~

"hmmmmn" she moaned, her body feeling hot all over. when she tried to remove her top, a pair of hands stopped her. "Lucas? W-where are we. did you get kidnapped too? why is your face so shiny?"

"Tang residence, no and you were drugged" Lucas answered her question.

'Tang residence?' no wonder the place looks familiar. they are in Grace old room which is almost as characterless as the one in her penthouse. the same plain walls and curtains on her large elegant room and the same plain sheets her king sized bed. the only different is that there is a purple reading table and an old big poster of when Lucas was in drama club in high school. he was dress like a warrior king so she had to have it, enlarge it and paste it over her bed.

"turn on the AC. it's so hot in here" she grumbled, trying to take off her shirts again.

he heightened the ac to max

"done. any better now?"

"noooo. if I can't take off my shirt at least take off yours" she couldn't start to describe what she is feeling at the moment. it wasn't all too hot but it was not -not hot. it was frustrating.

"I can't do that either" Lucas sighed.

"but I want be free!!" she sang in a horrible cracked voice.

"Anna must have arrived by now, let me go call her"

"no oo oo! don't goo!" her own whiney voice took her by surprise but she didn't care. she wants him to stay so she sat on his laps and straddled him.

"just lie back down, you need to rest" Lucas tried to gently her off

"but I don't feel tried. maybe we should burn some energy" she flirtatiously suggested. Lucas seems to quickly understood because his entire face and neck flared a bright pink color.

before Lucas could respond, she locked their lips to a fierce kissing battle. this is what she needs. the more heated the kiss got, the more touching was involved. she was even about to take her dumb shirt off.

"wait. wait. wait." Grace whined when they stopped "you're not in the right frame of mind plus, your dad will kill me"

"but.. but.. noo!" she has been whining all day long. "fine *sigh I need to use the bathroom"

~~~~~~~

it has been a whole thirty minutes since Grace entered the bathroom and Lucas is starting to worry but it's nothing compared to being told that Grace is missing and it didn't hold a candle to when that guy was about to touch her with his filthy hands.

he had just managed to drag Ethan away from Jerome. torturing the man is all has been doing since the incident. on the way to Ethan's house, he spotted Grace's car abandoned and when he called, her phone was inside the car.

the entire thing had funny business written all over.

it was past midnight but he didn't mind barging into Tang family house to investigate. when he got there, Mr Matthew was already preparing a rescue party and he had to join.

Jasmine took a her to an abandoned safe house to do God knows what.

at first Mr Matthew orders were to avoid death casualties and he admires the elderly man for his virtue but when he saw his girlfriend chained to the wall like some kind of criminal and he saw that guy approaching her with malicious intent, he lost it. the next set of goons took bullets to their head and as for that man, a bullet to the back of the knee. something more permanent to live with.

he had never felt so much fear, so much worry as he did that night.

he has always liked Grace since the moment he saw her but in the course of the past four months of dating her, he started to fall.. no scratch that. he fell. hard. he can confidently say that he is in love with Grace. it might seem too quick and too easy but she is his soulmate. what's so hard to understand?

and when she recovers from the drug they gave to her, he is going to tell her.

'I love you Grace'

just the thought of it sent an ample amount of heat to his cheeks.

this isn't the time to worry about love confessions, this is the time to worry about the drugged woman who has been in the bathroom for far too long.

'why hasn't the doctor come yet?'

"Grace! Grace? Grace?!"he called while banging at the bathroom door. he should have paid more attention to her and not let her close the bathroom door.

when Grace finally opened the door, he saw something unexpected. something really unexpected..

"I am finally free!" Grace sang. standing in her full glory. not a single piece of clothing on her body.
