"What?" Nico hurried to the door and tried to open it. "Damn it! We're locked in here!"
"I'll call my mother. She's downstairs," Raisa immediately took out her cellphone, but realized that there was no signal.
Nico had been pounding on the door for quite a while. He was sure that someone was locking them from the outside.
"Nico, are we kidnapped?" Are we going to be okay?" Raisa's voice was trembling as she said it.
"The door is locked from outside and there isn't a goddamn signal here. Looks like this is no ordinary kidnapping. I'm afraid there's a conspiracy behind this!" Nico walked toward the window, shaking the cell phone he was holding.
But still, not a single bar of signal appeared on his phone's screen.
Raisa looked even more panicked. "Then hurry up and find another way. How about breaking down the door?"
"You think this is a soap opera? How can I break down that door alone?" Nico replied irritably. Then, he walked back to the window. "I'll see if we can get out by the window."
Nico opened the curtains and found that the room faced a solid wall.
"Dammit, this room doesn't even have a proper window. How dare they rent it out at such a high price? Once I go out of here, I'll ask someone to destroy this hotel!" Nico said irritably.
"I want to go home, I want to go home! Get me out of here!" Raisa was getting crazy. She pounded on the door and shouted, but there was no movement from the front.
No one could help them.
They couldn't use their cell phones, their doors were locked from outside and no one could help them.
Raisa kept banging on the door and screaming. After a while, she kicked at the door, hoping she could break it down and escape from there.
"Raisa, you better save your energy. Harris will be here soon," said Nico. "Calm down. Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."
"But that's exactly what I'm afraid of. If you dare to do anything, I'll kill you!" Raisa threatened.
Nico just laughed at that. "Don't worry, I have absolutely no interest in you. Raka and I are good friends. His younger sister is like my own too,"
"Go away from me!" Raisa took a few steps back and kept her distance from Nico.
"Raisa, listen to me carefully. I know there are people outside, but they won't open the door for us. When the door opens, the reporters will immediately surround us." Nico already knew that they had been framed. But he still didn't know who did this to him.
Raisa felt more uncomfortable and tried to take a deep breath. "Nico, don't you feel like this room is hot?"
Nico fell silent and just realized it. Then, he hit the door hard. "What a jerk!"
Actually, since the first time he entered the room, Nico could smell a strange aroma.
He had a healthy body and strong will that the scent of the medicine couldn't affect him, but Raisa seemed to be getting affected.
At this rate, Nico was worried that Raisa would do something.
Nico looked at her face which started to turn red and knew that she would lose control.
He approached Raisa, wanting to confirm her situation.
The girl looked at Nico's handsome face and after a while, she thought that Nico was not like what she had imagined before. His brother's best friend was actually handsome and charming.
After thinking about that, Raisa immediately slapped herself. She must be crazy!
How could she think that Nico was handsome and charming?
"What if I lock myself in the bathroom?" Raisa got an idea to protect both of them.
Nico got up and walked toward the bathroom. It was Raisa's suggestion. If she was willing to do it, why should Nico refuse?
Unfortunately, the bathroom's door was locked and could not be opened at all.
"You can't open it?" Raisa felt even more uncomfortable. "Nico, hurry and find a way out. I want to go home!"
If it weren't for worrying about his sister's safety, Nico wouldn't have gone up to the top floor like this. He could have waited for Harris.
But since he was afraid of what might happen to Nadine, he decided to go up together with Raisa.
Now, he was trapped in this room together with her and did not know how Nadine was.
Earlier, there was a sound of a vase breaking in the middle-aged woman's room. Was Nadine in there? Was she in danger too?
"Nico, I think..." Raisa raised her head. Her gaze seemed increasingly blurry.
"Don't think about anything. I won't do anything to you," Nico was about to take the blanket and wrap Raisa's body in there, leaving only her head out. This way, Raisa couldn't do anything.
But suddenly, the door to the room was kicked from outside.
Nico looked at the door, he did not think that the person who appeared was Raka.
Raka looked at them in surprise. "Nico, what are you doing?"
Nico was just as surprised when he saw Raka coming. His eyebrows were slightly raised and his eyes looked coldly at Raka.
"What else do we do at the hotel?" Nico laughed sarcastically. He knew that he had been framed. He continued to wait for the person who trapped him to appear, but the first person to come was Raka, his best friend.
Was this his best friend's doing?
Did Raka want to make sure that his younger sibling got married to a rich family that he was willing to deceive his own best friend like this?
It was true that Raka was a good brother.
When he saw Raisa wrapped in a blanket, he immediately became angry and hit Nico in the face.
"Raka, is it true that you are my best friend? Don't you know what kind of person I am?" Nico said.
"But ..."
"But what?" Nico immediately interrupted him. "If you don't want this problem to spread and stir everyone up, quickly get rid of the police and journalists. I'll explain everything to you later."
The reporters immediately appeared behind Raka. Nico couldn't open his eyes as the camera flash kept snapping their pictures. Raisa was wrapped in a blanket and now hid her head along with her body.
Finally, Harris came along with Aiden's men. Seeing so many people gathered at the door of the room, he could not get through. He then immediately shouted, "Mr. Nico, are you there?"
"Get rid of all these reporters!" Nico shouted.
Everyone in the corridor was instantly driven out one by one. Nico walked out of his room ignoring Raka, then ran towards the opposite room with Harris.
Inside, Nadine was unconscious, while Jonathan looked bleeding. So much blood pooled under his body that his face looked pale, as if he was about to run out of blood.
"Sorry, I… I…" Before Jonathan could say anything, he lost consciousness.
Nico kicked Jonathan angrily and carried Nadine out of there. After that, he told Harris to stay behind and take care of him.
Meanwhile, Anya realized that Nadine sent her a message and immediately called her. "Nadine, sorry I fell asleep in the car. Have you met Alisa?"
However, it was not Nadine who answered the call, but Nico.
"Auntie, this is Nico. Something happened to Nadine. Someone deliberately lures Nadine to a hotel with Jonathan while he's under drugs' influence..."
