Betrayed and Gone My Hockey Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 33

Chapter 33 

The feeling of distress in my gut was soul crushing, but staying calm was the need of the hour. I couldn’t afford tone in unnecessary thoughts of being scared or panicked.

So, my business lady mode was activated when I attempted to deal with this issue fearlessly, 

“How much money do you want? I can pay in millions. Please take your money and let me 

1. go. 

As most kidnappings were for ransom, my first guess about their motive was money. They must have noticed a new female in the business community, and seized the opportunity to make quick bucks in one night. 

But their silence in response baffled me, they ignored me like I wasn’t present in the car. Then it occurred to me, “I have offered less money.” 

My company had several branches across the country, so they must be expecting a hefty amount for abducting the CEO directly. This silence was a method of gaining a large sum of 

money by scaring me. 

Without wasting more time, I doubled the offer as I had to go to meet Melody as swiftly as possible. 

“I can pay tens of millions. Name your price and money will be paid in minutes. You can use cryptocurrency for safety as well. I will never tell the police…” 

My money talk was disregarded as usual; however, the law enforcement agencies got a 

reaction from them. But a bad one! 

They stuffed a piece of cloth in my mouth and gagged me, shutting the only door of negotiation. I shuddered uncontrollably. What should I do now? 

The fear swirled in my guts as my heart raced, I was helpless before those burly goons. Due to darkness, I was unable to see where we were going. The bumpy ride indicated that the car wasn’t racing on the main road. 

Still, I kept my emotions checked in this jeopardy, looking for a chance to strike a deal with them. I was new in Lakon city, so ransom was the only thing which justified the situation.

Chapter 30 

I was waiting for the gag to be removed for negotiations when the car came to a grating 

stop. 

Without a word, they yanked me out and walked inside a rundown building in the middle of nowhere, this creepy scene froze the very breath in my mouth. I tried to stay calm, but my heart was pounding against my chest as they didn’t give me a second to fight and tied me to a chair, starting their weird activities. 

A goon brought paint bottles, and they painted strange symbols all around. Then they crossed all the limits of foolishness and doused the place with gasoline. A chill ran down my spine as the combined smell of gasoline and paint sucked all the air from my lungs, leaving me breathless. I could hardly focus on their words when someone set up a camera before 

me and said, 

“Our ritual is going to be a hit, brother. People will love it.” 

A ritual? 

Where were we? In the nineteenth century? 

The giddy excitement of the goons while discussing a ritual at midnight irked me, I finally got a clue about their true motive. They weren’t usual kidnappers, but the agents working at dark web, a place where such twisted videos and live streams were in high demand. 

I wasn’t a superstitious person, but being a part of such stupidity burst out a tide of adrenaline through my veins. Fighting against the rope became my full focus. I gathered every speck of my strength and moved my body to break free, although the tight ropes were 

difficult to loosen up. 

However, my successful attempts tripped my chair over, causing a ruckus in the room. After the initial shock, the goons were hell furious, they began to kick and curse me
