Queenie Rosita Law, scion of the family behind clothing chain Bossini, elaborates on her kidnapping in 2015 and reveals how her abductors sought to treat her kindly, according to her forthcoming book.

One kidnapper swore that the gang would not hurt her and even promised to offer her help if she encountered trouble in the future, Law wrote in the book due to launch next week.

Now 30, Law has given interviews in the past about her infamous kidnapping in April 2015, but never before disclosed such details.

Written in Chinese, the book centres on her interactions with some of the kidnappers during the four days she was held captive in a tent in a cave on Kowloon Peak, after she was taken away by a gang of mainlanders who had ransacked her family’s mansion in Sai Kung. The English version of the book, with the working title Dear Life, is expected to be published next year.

Law described her abductors as “civilised” and claims they allowed her to pick her favourite pants to wear and turned away and waited until she changed clothes before tying her up and taking her away.

In the book, she quoted her abductors as saying on several occasions that they would not hurt her on the grounds their prime motive was money.
