Ransom at Sea: My Wife's Deadly Prank Chapter 9
As Hugh tightened his fingers on the trigger, a chill ran down my spine, but I steeled myself and said, "Only I know where Ella is right now. Are you sure you want to kill me?"Once I'm dead, she'll truly slip out of your control. And besides, you don't have the guts to pull the trigger in broad daylight, do you?"Hugh sneered and cocked the gun. "Stop trying to push me. I'm the law in Starbury, while you're just a hired hand. No one cares if you die, and I have the money to deal with anything."Just as the words left his mouth, sirens blared along the coastline. Ella arrived with the police and confronted Hugh head-on. "Oh? Does that include dealing with your biological daughter, too?"When Hugh turned around and saw the whole fleet of police officers and snipers, he finally panicked and slipped back to the devoted-father persona he had set up for the cameras."E-Ella! You're alive!"Come here so I can take a good look at you! You must've suffered so much!"Unfortunately, eve

Melanie immediately panicked. With tears and snot running down her face, she clung to me and refused to let go."I'm sorry, honey. Don't send me back because I'll go crazy in there. Darell's dead, and I don't want to die, too! "I swear I'll never look at another man again. Just let me stay, and please don't send me back to the psychiatric hospital!"After sending Ella away, I turned around to deal with Melanie. It was obvious that she was traumatized by whatever she had endured in the psychiatric hospital and kept muttering under her breath, "Don't hit me! Let me go! I'm sorry!"Hugh hadn't shown an ounce of mercy. He had orchestrated the entire drama himself, yet he acted as if he was truly avenging his daughter. Human life meant nothing to him at all.Seeing what he had done to Melanie made me worried if Ella could actually keep her promise to protect me.When Melanie noticed that I was lost in thought, she cried and pleaded, "Please don't kick me out, Clifton. I have nowhere

After everything was dealt with, Hugh looked in my direction and coldly said, "I heard you used to be a lifeguard. Do you still want to guard the sea?"You know too much, but since you were in the recent kidnapper news, I won't touch you for now. Go to the border. Better yet, disappear from my sight, or I can't guarantee what I might be capable of."Hugh had made arrangements for me, so I nodded and accepted everything.Just before leaving, I asked, "What about the kidnappers? Are you just letting them go?"With his back to me, he was silent for a long time before finally saying, "I have my own ways of handling things."I was sent back to the border waters to resume rescue work.Five years ago, I had been a lifeguard, but I sustained severe injuries after saving Melanie. My arms could no longer withstand prolonged seawater exposure, so I had to leave lifeguarding and join the technical team.I knew how cruel the sea could be, which was why I trained the team with harsh disciplin

Melanie grabbed her coat and instinctively bolted for the door."If you're not buying the tickets, forget it. This threat isn't fun at all, so stop trying to give me a fright."I don't even know what you're talking about. It has nothing to do with me at all…"Darell was trembling with so much fear that he couldn't even hear the word "Hugh" without flinching.As the two tried to flee, I clapped my hands before a dozen bodyguards poured in and surrounded them. "As I said, you're not getting out of here. None of us is escaping responsibility for Ella's death, especially you two!"The bodyguards dragged them before Hugh and forced them to their knees."Do you know what you've done?" Hugh asked, polishing a gleaming dagger with clear, unmistakable sharpness. For a man as wealthy as Hugh, money could fix anything. Human lives were just numbers that didn't matter to him at all.Cameras were set up. His revenge on them was likely just another way to reinforce his devoted-father imag

The kidnapper jeered. "I gave your daughter an extra 30 minutes to live, so you should thank me for that."If you want her body intact, bring another 20 million dollars!"Hugh was already on the rescue ship as he tearfully agreed. But the moment he turned away, he ordered the ship to leave the border.Reporters hidden on the rescue ship emerged and showed him the footage they had just captured. "We've decided on the headline. 'Tycoon nearly driven insane with fear while trying to ransom his daughter. Greedy kidnappers demand another 20 million dollars after taking the money…'"Hugh nodded in satisfaction. "Good work. Everyone gets a bonus once this hits the front page. "It looks like I'll make quite the headline this time."I stood behind him and found the entire scene incredibly tragic. All his concern and devoted father act was just a performance for the headlines.When I turned and looked back toward the compound, I saw Ella standing up from the pool of blood.I rubbed my

I swam down to the crates filled with gold bars and opened them one by one. Someone as calculating as Hugh would have anticipated every possible outcome. I refused to believe that he would willingly hand over ten full crates of gold.Sure enough, I found oxygen supply in the ninth crate. It hit me that he had wanted to temporarily placate the kidnappers with the gold bars. Once Ella was rescued, he would have his men retrieve the gold bars from the sea.With the oxygen gear, I could hold on a little longer.Sure enough, voices from the rescue team soon broke across the surface of the sea. "Clifton! The rescue team is here! We know you're still alive!"Bring the ransom up now!"When I surfaced, the rescue team risked the hurricane to haul me onboard.Hugh was also on the rescue ship. When he noticed that I was wearing the oxygen gear, his expression immediately darkened."Where's the ransom? If a single bar's missing, I'll throw you back into the sea myself!"I removed the oxy
