RECAP.
Tom 40 who is married to Ellie 36 has a successful I.T. Company. Tom withdrew from an £8 million buyout very late in the day and has fallen foul of the S. Korean potential buyer.
They have gone to South East Asia on holiday and in Bangkok have been kidnapped from a girly bar after their drinks were spiked with a roofie.
I respectfully suggest readers will gain from reading WHAT YOU WISH FOR first.

The taxi took all three through the Bangkok streets to a warehouse on the river. A large solid structure. Lao had telephoned ahead and the security shutters were raised upon arrival.
A quick toot on the horn and after inspection under CCTV the doors rolled back. Once entered all was secured again. Tom and Ellie were removed and taken to separate rooms. There they answered almost a hundred questions each whilst still under the influence of the roofies. This ensured all answers were honest. Age, family, finance, security for their house , their computer passwords. All were readily given up by Tom and Ellie. Then a myriad of sex questions until every secret was given up. Now their captors knew more about each of them than they did about each other.
As the drug was wearing off they were given sleeping pills and neither woke until after 10.00.a.m. the following morning. They were in the same room together and as they came round started talking. All usual stuff in the circumstances. Where are we? How did we get here.? What do you remember? Were we drugged? Probably. Why? Were we touched or interfered with. Ellie thought her hair a bit sticky and she had a taste in her mouth. But was it Tom's. She never told Tom. She had a bruise on left breast. They tried the door and banged and shouted a bit but all to no avail.
Brady listened and watched all this on cam with amusement. It was so predictable. He let them stew until 11.00a.m.
Brady was Australian. Ex forces. Had his finger in a number of pies. All crooked. But he got the job done. Mr Lee from S Korea had hired him for this job. Mr Lee wanted Tom's company. Mr Lee always got what he wanted. Mr Lee also wanted Ellie.
Four heavies entered Tom and Ellie's room. They were then man handled into another room next door. Without speaking they tied and gagged both of their captives to heavy chairs bracketed to the floor. All Tom and Ellie's entreaties were ignored.
Spotlights were aimed at their faces and from the blinding light came the voice of Brady.
A clear voice that spoke slowly and expressively
You have been abducted. No-one knows you are here. No-one is looking for you. You have no chance to escape. Your only option is to listen carefully and obey. You will be given one chance to be released unharmed. One chance only. You will be well behaved at all times and give no-one any trouble. You will obey ALL instructions instantly without question. Failure to abide by the rules by one of you will bring punishment upon the other. You will regret causing your partner pain and humiliation.
It went very quiet. Then the statement was repeated all over again . Another short silence. As intelligent people I know you have heard this message twice now and have understood it.
Release them. The slightest problem from either of you will bring a naked whipping for the other.
Tom, Do you love Ellie very much and will you do anything for her and for your safe release. Yes he said, what do you want. You will pay £2million in ransom. Tom said I haven't got £2million. I know you haven't came the reply. You will need to travel to Seoul in S Korea and sell your Company. My sources tell me HE still wishes to buy it. Then transfer £2 million to an account you will set up here and then pay me cash.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND.
But it might take weeks to do all that. Even months.
