5. Kidnapped

Chapter Five

“Whoa” whispered Xander with his mouth open and his jaw nearly dropping down the moment his eyes sighted the car parked in front of the Bar. The luxurious and expensive looking car shines brightly and it’s obvious that it doesn’t belong to this kind of neighborhood.

Xander moved closer to the Bugatti La Voiture Noire black shiny car with tinted glasses, he has seen a lot of students with expensive cars in the university but never has he seen any of them with this type of customized car that screams classy and luxury.

Xander was still admiring the car which was so shiny that he could see himself clearly on the body as if it was a mirror when the door suddenly opened hitting Xander’s forehead.

“Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry young master. Please forgive me , I didn’t know you were this close to the car” said a very sweet voice that has an exotic accent.

Xander was so mesmerized by the car that he forgot that the reason why he is out here is because a woman was looking for him but he didn’t think it could be this angelic and elegant looking woman that was looking for him.

“It’s fine , it doesn’t hurt,” said Xander, applying pressure to the spot on his head where the door of the car hit him.

“Should I call a doctor to get that checked out for you young master ?” Said the lady wearing long Louis Vuitton high heels and a well tailored suit that suits her prim features. She looks so out together , even her hair is tied in a neat bun and she smells really nice too.

“This lady must be a business woman” thought Xander judging from the way she dressed but why is she calling me young master he thought.

“Sorry young lady but I think you have got the wrong person “ Xander replied politely

“No, I believe I have the right person, young master. I can see the emerald gem ring on your finger and your name is Xander Kings” said the lady with so much confidence and assurance.

“How did you know my name ? Besides it can still be a mistake because I’m an orphan and not a young master” Xander replied to her , his face getting red with embarrassment because this beautiful lady now knows that he is poor.

“Oh no, I have the right person, young master. My name is Miss Kim and I’m going to be your personal assistant and secretary from now on” she said with a small smile sounding all professional.

Xander turned around , closed and opened his eyes to make sure that this is not a dream and that she is really talking to him and not someone else.

“I know this might be a bit confusing and too sudden for you but your grandfather will explain better when you meet him in person, I’m sorry but I can’t tell you everything. I need you to trust me Young master Xander and please come with us” said Miss Kim bowing a little with respect

Xander Kings couldn’t believe what his hearing,is this some sort of mistake or is Ashton and his friend from the university playing a stupid prank on him again? A lot of thoughts were going through his mind and he vowed never to trust anybody again , experience taught him a dirty lesson.

“What if you kidnap me ?” Xander asked Miss Kim and she let out a soft laugh

“Didn’t you say you’re an orphan? We won’t kidnap you when we know that we won’t have a huge ransom. Besides, do I look like a kidnapper?” Asked Miss K with a teasing voice. She seems a bit more relaxed

“You’re right, even if you kidnap me it will be a total waste of time and you will spend so much in feeding me which I wouldn’t mind but like you said what’s the worst that can happen? I was thrown into the river to die yesterday…I’m ready to risk my life again and follow you “ said Xander to Miss Kim reluctantly shrugging his shoulders

Xander doesn’t even have transport fare and he thought he would get a free ride before Miss Kim discovers that she has the wrong person Xander thought after agreeing to follow Miss Kim.

Suddenly a man came out from the driver's seat and opened the door for Xander after bowing slightly to him as a sign of respect. Xander was so confused that he only nodded his head and entered the left side of the back seat of the car.

The driver, who was also dressed in a neat black tailored suit, went back to his seat and Miss Kim sat beside him in the front seat. Her perfectly manicured fingers kept typing on the latest iPad.

“Should I put on music or radio, young master ?” Asked the driver and it took Xander some few seconds to realise that the driver was speaking with him.

“Don’t bother , I’m fine” said Xander, still unsure about the whole thing. His heart was beating out of fear and out of excitement at the same time, he silently hoped that this was not some expensive prank organized by Ashton and his group of mean friends.

Xander decided to admire the interior of the car which had the Air conditioner on to keep his mind busy since he doesn’t have a phone to be pressing, the driver looks so focused on the road and Miss Kim is busy typing on the gold plated iPad.

Xander has an eye for good things and he knows expensive things when he sees one besides his 4 years at Princeton university made him become familiar with the lavish and flashy materialistic lifestyle even though he never thought that he would ever be part of it.

Xander's jaw dropped for the second time when the car made a turn towards the secluded area of the city, this is the government’s reserved area and only the president ,high members of the societies and Elites live and own property here.

Xander also noticed that none of the security guards or soldiers questioned them or stopped them from entering the area. The houses and buildings were huge and tall, made with clear sparkly glasses and architectural masterpiece.

“We are here Young master” said Miss Kim as the car entered an extremely large building that Xander couldn’t see the end and the beginning. There was a water fountain and peacock birds moving around. The vicinity is also surrounded by neatly trimmed and healthy looking flowers while several men in black suits with headphones in their ears keep moving around the compound like some secret service agents.

“Where are we, Miss Kim?” asked Xander, lifting his head and appreciating the view when a different man still in black suit came and opened the door for him.

“This is one of the properties of your Grandfather, the grandmaster Kings” said Miss Kim with a polite smile

“Oh …” was the only thing Xander could say, he could see an array of so many luxurious new looking cars parked in the garage. Ashton is going to shit in his pants if he gets to look at these cars , they look better and more expensive than his car collections.

“This way please ,Grandmaster Kings is waiting for us and he has a flight to catch so we shouldn’t waste anymore time” said Kim bowing down and showing him the way to a large building.Xander thought the outside was beautiful but inside of the building looks more breathtaking, it was like he was in heaven and he had to pinched himself to make sure that he isn’t dead.

“Ouch” he whispered when he felt the pain in his arms ,this is an indication that he Is very much alive. Xander gently followed Miss Kim through a long corridor with several art pieces along the walls and classic chandeliers hanging down.

“This is the grandmaster’s study room, please wait for him and he will soon be joining you. For the meantime , what can we offer you young master?” Kim asked Xander who was too carried away to even feel hungry besides he is too anxious to eat anything.

“Nothing , I am fine. Thanks Miss Kim” said Xander and she bowed politely before heading out and leaving him alone in the big study room which had 2 large shelves all filled with books on finances and investments.

The exterior of the place screams power, the furniture was all made of shiny and strong mahogany and the study room even has a view of a peaceful and calm ocean. Xander looked to his left and he saw a large portrait of three people. It was a man and a woman, the woman had red hair and they all had a joyful smile on their faces.

They had a little baby in their hands and when Xander moved closer to look at the baby, the baby oddly reminded him of a younger version of himself, it felt like a sudden flashback and the whole thing is beginning to make more sense to him.

“Is the baby in this picture me?” He asked, staring into the Portrait with so much concentration.
