Chapter 85: Serious Problem

A few days later, Daren had just finished his breakfast and walked out of the dining room with Axel. That day they planned to go to a studio where Daren would be doing a photo shoot.

"The studio is on the edge of town?" asked Axel who felt suspicious.

He knew the ins and outs of North Zondalia City, where all the important places would be in the city center while the suburbs were just ordinary shops without any studios, except photo studios for ordinary people, not a magazine or anything.

"Maybe they rented a studio around there? We don’t know. We can check it out first," Daren said as he checked his cell phone.

Just as they were about to leave the mansion, they ran into a man who always came to the mansion to see his boss.

"Daren, are you going to work today?" asked the man standing right in front of them.

"Ivan? Oh yes, I have a photo shoot today. So I’m going to the studio," he replied, smiling at his good friend.

"I see, be careful on the road. I really want to see you again after this," Ivan said as he hugged Daren. He patted the Omega on the back then glanced at Axel who was standing behind the man.

Ivan released his embrace and let Daren go. As the Omega walked away and Axel followed him, Ivan seemed to say something to the bodyguard that instantly made Axel stop his steps and look back.

Looking at Ivan who was walking away from him.

"Is he..."

"Hey, Axel! Hurry up, I’ll be late getting there!" called Daren who was standing near his car.

"Yeah, I know." The dark-haired Alpha immediately caught up with his employer and they got into the car.

Daren turned on the car’s GPS to locate the studio. It wasn’t quite in the quiet suburbs, but it was quite busy with a few people around the shops.

"Are you sure this is the location?" Axel asked again and checked the gps on their car.

"354 Summacon Street, it’s right here. I don’t think this place is that suspicious or weird," Daren replied as he checked the address on his phone.

"You’re doing a photo shoot for a brand or magazine? What’s their name?"

"Humn... It says Tiazara, oh... That famous shoe brand. It’s officially their email," he said.

Axel looked again at the studio and got out of the car along with Daren. They both walked towards the studio to check it out first.

When Axel opened the studio door, it was not as bad as it looked on the outside. Their arrival was immediately greeted by the studio owner who immediately escorted them to one of the prepared photo studio rooms.

"See? I told you everything would be fine."

"I know, but I still can’t trust the people here. My Alpha instincts are still very active from earlier. It’s like there’s something here," Axel said as he watched the crew and staff around them.

"Mr. Daren?" One of the crew came over to the two of them. "Thank you for accepting our invitation to do a photo shoot. We were very happy when you accepted."

"No problem, I don’t think it would hurt to do it anyway."

The crewwoman smiled and asked Daren to follow her to the dressing room. She wanted him to wear the clothes they had provided, something that matched their brand of shoes.

They chatted for a while and Daren reached the room. Axel went in first to check on the room, because he felt something was wrong but he couldn’t figure out what it was.

"The clothes are in the closet, you’d better change your clothes quickly and then our makeup artist will come and start dressing you," the woman said and left.

"Alright, Axel you come out first. I need to change my clothes," Daren said as he unbuttoned his shirt.

"You can change it while I’m here. I’ve already seen you naked anyway," he replied casually.

Daren’s face immediately reddened when he heard that. "I know, but..."

The Alpha’s steps stopped in front of the cupboard as he felt a slight breeze from the cupboard’s opening. Of course it was very suspicious to him, how could there be a gust of wind from the gap in the closet?

Just as he was about to check, Daren pushed him out of the changing room.

"I told you to get out quickly!"

BLAM!

He closed the door right in front of Axel’s face, making the bodyguard a bit annoyed then let out a harsh sigh.

"Don’t take too long! I’ll wait!" he said firmly then stood in front of the door, noticing the surroundings which had become quite quiet.

’Weren’t there a lot of people in this studio earlier? Why does it feel so quiet? But... If I look, there are only three people in the studio organizing the objects there. It usually takes several crews to set up a shooting set,’ he thought as his suspicions grew.

After five minutes, Daren didn’t answer Axel’s call. He had knocked on the door, but there was still no answer from inside.

"Hey, don’t ignore me like that. Are you mad just because of what I said earlier?" he asked.

However, there was still no answer at all.

Sensing something strange, Axel immediately broke down the door and was shocked to see that there was no one in the room. Empty and as if no one had entered it earlier.

"Daren? Where did you go?" he called out looking into the small room.

Daren disappeared as if swallowed by the air. Though there was no hiding place there, Axel checked under the table but Daren wasn’t there.

"Where did he go? How could he disappear like that, when there’s only one exit and I’ve been there all along. Unless..."

His head turned to the cupboard he had suspected earlier. Axel walked towards it and opened it.

The wind blew quite strongly when the door was opened. There was a wide open door behind the cupboard. A way out behind the empty cupboard.

"What?!" Axel rushed out of the door and saw a path leading to the highway.

He was sure Daren had been taken away by someone through that door. Someone had kidnapped Daren using a car because the man found tire tracks of a car that was different from a normal car.

"A delivery car, they must have put him in there."

Axel gritted his teeth in annoyance with his hands clenched tightly into fists after finding out his Omega had been kidnapped.

Before he knew it, two men walked up to him holding shovels in their hands. One of the men lifted the large shovel and swung it at Axel’s head.

THUD!
