The Traps of Black Swan

While fear was pulsing through Shea, Wade Merton assumed that she was feeling awkward, probably shy as she had tried to get rid of him the previous day but now, she was going out in search of him.

Seeing her frozen as a rock staring at him, he even went to the length he was handsome hence she came in search of him leaving Shawn Rivas.

'Was he that bad in bed? Then why do girls flock around?' He thought but shrugged it off. 'Who cares!?'

He tried to play dumb after glancing at the timer of the red light traffic signal. Only thirty-two seconds were left and he needed to act as fast as possible.

"You had promised me a date, Shea." He pulled a long face.

Shea was bewildered, 'Why aren't you in entertainment Industries?' She decided to ask that after he was caught.

Silently, she inhaled deeply, "Highland… I like it there. I will see you there." She made sure to look expectant so that he will follow her. That way, she doesn't have to be hell worried about him being around her.

Anyway, she was hoping too much and Wade had no plan to go to Highland or let her go over there. Since she wasn't ready to pull the car aside, he made little changes in his plans.

Lowering further down, he made a pleading puppy face and flirted, "I hope the pretty lady won't mind opening the door for me." He simply meant he will go with her to the Highland Club instead of driving his own car.

Meanwhile, he took out a small bottle from his front pocket of pants and his left hand pulled the handkerchief from his back pocket before pouring all the liquid on his handkerchief.

Since she was going to Highland to meet him, he didn't feel like she had any other reason to turn him down. He was certain she would allow him inside.

He felt proud of himself for improvising the plan and having a better plan than Leon's.

'Kidnapping is easy,' He presumed as he was all ready to make Shea unconscious.

Shea gritted her teeth but maintained a smile on her less dreaded face. Since she will be driving the car, she will straight drive them to the Highland, and she won't be in trouble.

'It's just ten minutes on the road.' She figured out after glancing at the road map of the navigator. She wasn't used to Mocon city yet.

Her voice was laced with relief, "Sure, hop in." She unclicked on the child lock of the door without having any inkling that she invited the biggest trouble upon herself.

Wade threw the bottle he was holding and smiled flirtily at Shea as he opened the door of the shotgun seat.

Shea grabbed her wallet that was on the shotgun seat so that he could sit. She kept it in the back seat. She turned to Wade who closed the door after he took a seat. 

He tried to give her a simple hug but Shea jerked away, fear fluttered back in her stomach looking at him in horror.

Wade was running out of time hence his voice turned slightly harsh at her reaction that irritated him, "What's wrong?"

Shea cussed herself and laughed awkwardly. Her laughter was raw with fear that she tried to subside back.

'Wade Merton couldn't be more terrific than my grandfather.' She tried to divert her focus so that she could be bold just like how she went against her grandparents by prioritizing her studies.

Now she has to give importance to her coming peaceful life instead of living in fear of somebody kidnapping her. She calmed her pounding heart and breathed.

"You were just too sudden, my dumb brain was a little shocked." She lied looking away from him.

Shea straightened her back thinking he won't try to hug her again. Anyway, she felt a tug at her arm and she instinctively turned to him. 

'He is so clingy.' She thought without bothering to lift her hands to return the hug. Even if he gives her a friendly hug, the thought of it made her feel like thorns piercing her skin.

Wade wasn't giving her any loving or longing embrace. He hugged her to lock her hands in place. Just to avoid her pressing on the honk that would alert the people around them.

Shea was too late to realize he was taking her under control. She fought the rising panic when he pushed her both hands behind her. His big right palm clamped around her both the wrist stopping every movement of her hands.

Fright stabbed her heart when he simultaneously pulled her closer. Everything was happening so fast that her body shook with fear, unable to react to anything.

The handkerchief Wade was holding in the left hand shifted to her face and pressed hard and swift on her nose. Due to her small ashen face, the handkerchief covered her lips drowning her words back in her mouth.

His big palm suppressed her all struggles to shriek or move her head. Her body went cold with dread as soon as she sniffed the chloroform smell.

Her eyes flared with terror at the realization she had turned off the car engine hence her free legs couldn't press the accelerator to alert anybody.

She had no time to bother about the surging pain from her wrists under his inhuman hold, she tried to kick, use all the self-defense skills she had learned over time but none came to her help.

She was panicked to close her eyes and fought with her senses which were forcing her eyes shut and numbing her body.

"F*ck," he cussed when he noticed only ten seconds were left for the road to get free and Shea was wriggling in his arms trying her best to get away from him.

He didn't want to alert anybody or be late on the road. It might get the people near the car and they would notice Shea in the car.

She felt her gaze blurring, unable to focus on anything, She didn't know if it was fear or the chloroform. Might be both. 

Her body went numb without control over her. Wade slowly left her and tried to look at her.

Shea had continuously tried to push him, her body instinctively moved when the grip on her freed.

'Thud.' her head knocked on his head

"Oh f*ck" Wade cursed rubbing his nose and saw her fainted.

He quickly held her when her head was about to touch fall on the steering wheel.

He again glanced at the timer, only four seconds left. He pulled her seat belt and dragged her body quickly. 

The signal turned green and the vehicles started moving. The car behind them started honking at them.

Those horns were alarming signals for Wade. They were grabbing too much attention which could flip his plan around. 

In a hurry, he didn't bother laying her on the back seats. Instead dumped her in the legroom of the back seats and jumped to the driver seat.

Pressing on the start button to ignite the car engine, he drove the car towards the right.

'Ring... Ring...'

Wade's heart jerked at Shea's mobile ringtone resounding in the car speakers. He had almost freaked out thinking it was alert signals for him.

"Brother Nick.' He read on the SmartScreen of the car.

He controlled the car speed and grabbed her wallet from the backseat. He threw it out without care and sped away.
