Forced to Be Stepmom
Zara And Lathan In Danger

The next day at Lathan's school. All the students were preparing to go home after they were done with their lessons today.

"Fan, where are you going? Why so rushed?" asked Zara who was curious to see Fandy who immediately packed his things quickly.

"Mama asked me to accompany her after school, so I can't go home with you. You just go home by yourself, won't get lost, will you?" said Fandy who responded to Zara while running in a hurry.

"Huh! He just left immediately". Zara murmured with a long sigh seeing her brother go away.

"Let me take you home, my lady".

"Yes my. Can't you appear like an ordinary person without having to surprise me?!". Zara was very surprised because Lathan suddenly spoke behind her back.

"Unfortunately... I don't want to be an ordinary person to you" said Lathan, who responded with a teasing tone and smile accompanied by both eyebrows raised simultaneously.

"Sad. Lazy serving you". Zara responded as she passed away leaving Lathan. While Lathan just smiled while staring at Zara's back that was getting away. He followed Zara from behind.

"I'll drive you!" said Lathan who caught up with Zara and walked beside her.

"no need. I'll just go up!" Zara responded cynically and continued walking regardless of Lathan's invitation.

Lathan doesn't force Zara anymore. He could only stare at Zara from a distance, then walk towards her car. Lathan was driving slowly following the taxi Zara was riding. He did not realize that there were other cars following him.

"Stupid. Until when will he follow me" murmured Zara as she looked at Lathan from the rearview mirror of the taxi. But not long after, Zara stopped her taxi.

"Wait Sir. Turn back Sir. Hurry along!" zara said after seeing Lathan no longer following her.

...****************...

Lathan continued to follow Zara's taxi at a distance that was not too close. But not long after he realized that there were several motorcycles following him.

Broom!

Broom!

"Who are they? Why do they keep following me?" muttered Lathan while watching the masked people who followed her and continued driving. Unfortunately Lathan does not use his sports car, he uses a regular car.

Ckiiit!!!

Lathan immediately braked the car suddenly because one motor stopped in front of him.

Dug

"Down! Hurry along! Otherwise I break the car's glass!"

One of them hit the windshield while brandishing the wood at Lathan.

"Damn!" muttered Lathan while watching her surroundings which had now been surrounded by several of those motors. Slowly Lathan got out of his car on guard.

Hiyaaat!

Bag bug bag bug!

The riders started attacking Lathan one by one. They did not give Lathan any space to be silent.

Uh!

Lathan was hit by a wooden punch in her hand for resisting the attack that was pointing at her face.

Hiyat!

From behind Lathan Zara suddenly appears and kicks the man who is trying to hit Lathan, they both turn their backs on each other to fight the man in front of them.

"How did you get back here? You should have left!". Lathan complains to Zara because she's back again.

"I saw you surrounded by them. That's why I'm back again. You should thank me for helping you". Zara responded to Lathan with a cynical attitude.

"You talk too much. Get them both!" said one of those who seemed to be the chairman.

Hiyaat!

Bagh bugh bagh bugh!

They started to fight Zara and Lathan simultaneously.

Bugh

Uh!

"Zara!"

"Ah. Unhand me! Zara!"

"Bother! What about this girl? Do we just leave it?" salahatu the kidnapper.

"We're finishing it too. It'll be suspicious if we leave it here"

Lathan screamed in surprise after seeing Zara being beaten into a swoon. He was finally caught off guard because his attention was on Zara. Lathan's hands were held back and tied, her eyes were covered in cloth and her mouth covered in duct tape, she was put in a car with Zara who was unconscious.

"Ehm .. um …". Lathan tries to wake the unconscious Zara next to him.

"How's this? Who are these people?" lathan thought observing the situation.

"I'll call the boss and tell him that we've captured our target" the kidnapper said. He immediately pulled out his phone and contacted the person who gave him the order.

Tut tuut tuut

"Hello". not long ago a man's voice came from behind the phone.

"Hello boss. We have arrested the school boy. We'll take him to the barn like the boss said"

"good. Just finish him off. Don't leave a trace!"

"Good, Boss. I understand!".

They ended the phone call and continued their journey to the prepared location.

Not long after, they arrived at the location they had determined. Lathan and Zara are taken to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.

"Boss, do we just finish him off?" said one of the kidnappers.

"Hmmn .. I have a great idea. How about we just ask his parents for a ransom? Isn't he the son of a rich man?" said the kidnapper boss with a sneaky grin on his lips.

"But Boss, aren't we being asked to finish him off?" asked one of his men with a confused face.

"We gave her the body after we got the ransom" the kidnapper's boss said.

"Boss is too. So we can get paid more" his men nodded in agreement with the proposal from his boss.

"Then get the kid's phone and we'll find the number of the guy. We can't let go of a golden opportunity like this"

"Good Boss". His men began to search Lathan's pants pocket and search for his cell phone.

"This is boss's phone"

"Yes. Give me". The kidnapper's boss unlocks Lathan's phone and searches for a number he can call.

"Meet. This must be her mother's number". The kidnapper's boss looks happy once he finds a contact that reads Mami. He immediately contacted her using his phone whose number was hidden.

Tuut Tuut Tuut Tuut

"Hello" did not have to wait long, Andra's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Your son is with us. Give us 1 billion dollars or your son is in danger" the boss said in a disguised voice.

"Who is this? Don't mess with me!" Andra sounded surprised and panicked but she tried to calm down because there was Radit next to her.

"I'm not messing around.

A sreet!!

"Speak!" the man opened Lathan's mouth duct tape and asked her to speak.

"Hello". Lathan spoke at the request of the kidnapper.

"Lathan then? Is this you? Are you okay?!" asked Andra who was panicking after hearing Lathan's voice.

"Mommy, I'm fine. Mama doesn't have to worry. Ardhan …"

"Have heard. If you want your son to survive. Preparemoney. I'll call you back tomorrow! Tut!". The kidnapper immediately distanced his phone from Lathan's ear before he finished speaking.

"Who are you guys? Open my blindfold so I know my friend's condition!" lathan said with a calm and cool attitude.

"alright. Think of this as your last wish" the kidnapper opened Lathan's blindfold. Lathan looked next to him where Zara was lying there.

"Ra! Zara! Please open your mouth and eyes. After all he also fainted" Lathan asked him again.

"You're a hassle!" the man opened the duct tape and blindfolded Zara and left Lathan and Zara in a dark room with their hands and feet tied.

Lathan continued to stare at Zara with a worried look.

"Ra! Zara! Why would you even involve yourself in such danger?" lathan muttered to Zara who was still unconscious.

"Oh my head" slowly Zara began to wake up and grimace as her head hurt.

"You're sober? Are you all right?" lathan asked worriedly.

"I'm doing fine. Where's us?" Zara spoke in a weak voice while looking over here and there.

"We're kidnapped. I don't know where we are?" lathan replied in a calm manner.

"abducted? Haah ... How can it be like this?"
