Chapter 351 - Chased by Kidnappers (1/2)

Aleksis was standing under a tree while writing a message to Lauriel when suddenly her hand was pulled by someone and before she could realize what was happening, her body had been pushed into a sports car and the door was closed from the outside.

”Eh ... what is this?” she asked, confused. She looked to the side and saw Nicolae sitting in the driver's seat. The young man fastened Aleksis' seatbelt, put on his own seatbelt, started the engine, and drove the card forward with full concentration.

All happened within a few seconds. Aleksis was astonished and only got back to her senses after they had left St. Mary University.

”Heyyyy!!! What are you doing?!!” She hit Nicolae's shoulder so the young man would stop the car, but Nicolae didn't listen. He looked in the mirror several times and drove the car even faster.

The blue sports car overtook the various vehicles in front of it with great skill. Aleksis' heart was pounding hard; she was scared. Finally, she could only stay silent and hold on to her seat while observing the highway. Her heart was beating really fast.

After five minutes, she began to observe what was happening. It looked like they were being chased by a black car and Nicolae was trying desperately to escape from the pursuit of the stalker.

”Wh ... who's chasing us?” Aleksis asked in a worried voice. ”Are they your enemies?”

Nicolae shook his head quickly.

His focus was still on the crowded road in front of them, but he could still answer Aleksis' question, ”I don't know. What is clear is that I saw some suspicious people watching over you. I saw that one of them had opened the trunk of his car and inside there were various suspicious items, usually used by kidnappers.”

”Gosh ...” Aleksis took a deep breath. ”What suspicious things?”

”Ropes, knives, duct tape and carpet.” Nicolae answered.

Ugh! No way!

Aleksis shook her head. How was this possible? She had four bodyguards but it was Nicolae who saw the suspicious people who wanted to kidnap her?

She glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the black car was still following behind them. The driver was apparently as skilled as Nicolae in driving because even though Nicolae's car was swiftly slipping and zigzagging here and there in heavy traffic, he still could not get rid of his stalker.

For 15 minutes the two cars raced on the highway. The car's extremely high speed and their zig-zagging movements made Aleksis sick and she could only close her eyes, hoping that the nightmare would end soon.

Nicolae turned his head and when he saw Aleksis close her eyes to hold back nausea, he thought of something.

”Are you sick? I will stop this car in a quiet place. You just stay in the car and lock the door, let me face them ...” he said in a firm voice.

When there was an exit from the  highway on the left, he immediately steered the car to the left and off the main road. The car's speed was reduced greatly so Aleksis don't feel too sick anymore. Nicolae drove his vehicle along the road until he found an abandoned warehouse with a large yard.

The black car continued to follow them.

Nicolae's blue sports car finally stopped in front of the warehouse. The black car arrived 10 seconds later and stopped behind him.

”Can you drive?” Nicolae asked before opening the driver's door. Aleksis opened her eyes and nodded slowly. Nicolae continued with his instruction. ”Once I get out, you lock the car from the inside and wait for me here. If anything happens to me, you must immediately take the car away and seek help.”

Aleksis nodded quickly. Tears almost flowed down on her cheeks, because her mind was tense and her head felt dizzy. It all happened so suddenly and she could hardly think.

Nicolae took off his seatbelt, took something from the car drawer, then got out. He gave Aleksis a signal and the girl hurriedly locked the car from the inside.

Aleksis saw two figures coming out of the black car behind them in a threatening manner. She could not see clearly because the distance was rather far, plus her eyes were foggy due to stress.

Ugh ... where are my four bodyguards when I need them … complained Aleksis.

She was about to call Takeshi or Carl, but then she realized her phone-watch had fallen off when Nicolae had hurriedly pulled her into the car. Ugh ...

She couldn't ask for help.
