MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 58 A billion-dollar hostage

I suspected I misheard. This seemingly ordinary girl was actually from an incredibly wealthy family.

But come to think of it, how much ransom could they possibly get from an average Joe?

Moreover, the way the handsome man addressed the girl suggested that they knew each other and were familiar to a certain extent.

"Nicholas, why did you do this? I trusted you so much," Lillian cried.

The handsome man called Nicholas was also a bit flustered, saying, "Lillian, stop crying. I just asked your dad for some money!"

"Damn, if you cry, I’ll mess you up right now."

Arthur spat, then pulled out a military knife, which startled Nicholas. "Arthur, don’t escalate!" Nicholas exclaimed.

"Why the hell are you blabbering? At this time, making money is the most important thing. What the hell about love?"

Nicholas gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Lillian, call now, or I’ll rape you right now and post the video online for everyone to see!"

Lillian cried even harder. "You... you monster!"

"Hurry up, you bitch, stop pretending to be innocent!" Nicholas slapped her face and said, "If your family weren’t loaded, do you think I’d be with you? It’s been six months, and you won’t even let me touch you. Am I dating you, or am I courting a nun?"

His words broke Lillian’s heart, but despite the two’s coercion, she still made the call.

Nicholas took the phone and put it on speaker. A voice full of authority came from the phone. "Hello, who is this?"

"Gary, your daughter is now in my custody. If you wish for her safety, I suggest you start gathering a billion dollars!"

Arthur was speaking, disguising his voice so it was unrecognizable. "Oh, let me tell you, don’t try to trace the call. Since I dared to call you, I’m sure you won’t be able to track me down."

It was like a scene straight out of a movie.

Through the missing wall tiles, I cautiously started filming.

But I wondered who Gary was. Why does the name sound familiar?

After a moment of silence on the phone, he said, "I want to hear my daughter’s voice."

Arthur handed over the phone and commanded, "Speak!"

"Dad!"

Lillian burst into tears and called out, "Save me!"

Just as she spoke, Nicholas covered her mouth with his hand.

"Don’t hurt my daughter, and I’ll get the money for you!"

"No cash. I’ll send you some accounts. Wire the money separately. And don’t try anything funny, or you’ll never see her again," Arthur warned before hanging up and sending the account details.

After saying that, Arthur hung up the phone and sent the account numbers.

"Arthur, is this really going to work?" Nicholas asked.

"Don’t worry, they’re all foreign accounts. I spent a fortune to set them up."

Arthur grumbled, "Damn, it’s expensive!"

But the thought of a billion about to come in made him dream of a bright future. "Once I get a billion in the bank, I’m off to live it up abroad and flirt with foreign girls!"

Nicholas also looked eager, asking, "Arthur, can I take her with me?"

"Are you stupid? If we take her, we’ll be exposed. Do you think we can escape safely?"

Arthur cursed. "Once the money is in, we’ll get rid of her."

He made a throat-slitting gesture, leaving Lillian shaking in fear.

"Please, don’t kill me, I won’t tell anyone, Nicholas, please!"

Nicholas also hesitated. He said, "Arthur, maybe we shouldn’t kill her, just keep her captive, lock her in the basement where no one can find her!"

Damn it. Nicholas was a freak. He was planning to imprison this Lillian forever and use her as his personal sex toy.

Arthur sneered, "Sure, but as long as she’s alive, there’s a chance she’ll be found. By then, both of us will be done for!"

"Nicholas, I know you’re a softie, but we’re in too deep now. We gotta see this through. Imagine it, we’re about to be filthy rich. We’ll have women lining up for us every day. We can play until we drop!"

With Arthur’s persuasion, Nicholas’s eyes grew more ruthless. He finally nodded and said, "You’re right! As long as I have money, I can be on top of the world and change women every day. I can also make my parents live a good life!"

Lillian’s heart sank. "Nicholas, you can’t be serious..."

"Enough!"

Nicholas’s face twisted into a menacing grimace.

"You said I couldn’t touch you, didn’t you? Today, I’m going to do just that!"

The sinister gleam in his eyes intensified as he started to undress.

Arthur, grinning from ear to ear, egged him on. "That’s the spirit. You were playing hard to get. I won’t hog her first. You have your fun, then I’ll take my turn. She’s not like those other girls; she’s a millionaire’s daughter. Classy."

After speaking, he stood up and said, "I’ll be right back. Call me if you need me!"

Saying that, he walked over.

I was currently in the bathroom, which meant he was coming towards me.

What should I do?

I was so nervous that my palms were sweating.

Damn it, there was no time to ponder. If he discovered me, I could be in danger. It was better to make the first move.

I picked up a brick from the ground and hid behind the wall. Watching the shadow getting closer, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

It was definitely the most thrilling and daring thing I had ever done in my life.

I wasn’t a hero, just desperate to defend myself.

As the footsteps drew closer, just as he peeked out, I gathered my strength and slammed the brick on Arthur’s head.

With a loud bang, Arthur let out a scream and then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Blood gushed from the spot where he was hit.

I trembled uncontrollably, filled with fear. Damn, what if I hit him too hard and killed him?
