Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 597

Ricky's voice on the other end of the line was anything but patient. "I'm almost there, alright?" he snapped.

"What in the world is taking you so long? Rat, if you don't get this done today, you can forget about seeing a single cent from me."

"For crying out loud, do you think killing someone is as easy as taking out a chicken? I need to scope out the place and figure out a getaway plan, don't I?"

This wasn't Ricky's usual gig, and the thought of murder had him on edge. But the lure of fifty million dollars and a chance to settle the score with Chloe pushed him forward. He'd gotten his hands on a gun through some shady deals, but doubt still gnawed at him. His biggest concern? Lisa.

"I've been here for ages and still no sign of Lucas," another chimed in.
