Chapter 276: Funny?

Ian: Are you guys doing bondage play? The surroundings leave a lot to be desired.

Seb: He doesn’t look too happy, Nora, darling, I think when he mentioned ropes, this is not what he had in mind...

Lucien: This is too much information.

Gabe: Nora, I’m sure he’d like to be tied up by you, but this is too cruel. You should use a better gag. Do you need links to se* toy stores online. They have better things. Stuffing a cloth... is too...

Erasmi: Brothers! BE QUIET ALL OF YOU!

Nora looked down at the reactions of the brothers as she sat there shaking nervously. Never had she thought that someone would kidnap Demetri and ask her for ransom! And then to top it off, when she shared his ’kidnapped’ photograph with his brothers, they would think that they were ’playing’. She wanted to scream that this was a crisis situation and she did not need shopping advise for adult toy stores!

Thankfully, Erasmi had some presence of mind and she could discuss the matters seriously. She did not have that kind of money.

She needed to find a way to save him and use that money to teach those people who dared to lay hands on Demetri a lesson.

Just as she was about to thank Erasmi and get into a serious discussion, Erasmi’s message next message appeared, "Nora, for the love of God, don’t share these personal things on the group chat! He has the same face as me! I’m going to have to bleach my eyes and probably my brain!"

Nora banged the phone against her head and typed out," HE IS NOT WITH ME!"

Gabe: He’s cheating on you? And letting someone else tie him up? Nah.

Seb: Yeah, You must be mistaken. Demetri won’t let any other girl tie him up.

Ian: Yup. He only has you in his eyes. He won’t cheat on you just because he wanted to be tied up and ridden...

Erasmi: Have faith in my brother, Nora. PS. This is not me.

Nora: "..."

Nora: "Can you guys be serious? I’m desperate!"

Seb: Ew

Ian: TMI

Gabe: *vomit* emoji

Nora: DEMETRI HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED. THE KIDNAPPERS HAVE ASKED FOR A BILLION DOLLARS RANSOM.

Seb: That is too much money. Tell them we will only give ten thousand, at most.

Ian: Seb is right. Start with ten and do not go higher than thirty thousand dollars!

Gabe: Thirty thousand is also too much.

Erasmi: Nah. Thirty Thousand is fine. We don’t know the number of kidnappers.

Nora: Are you all suggesting that I bargain with the kidnappers for his ransom?

Nora could only stare incredulously at her phone. Had she slipped into some kind of shock-induced trauma? Why were these people not understanding the severity of the situation? She needed to go find Uncle Alex as soon as possible and ask him for money.

Erasmi: It is not ransom money. It is compensation.

Nora: ".."

Seb: For their hospitalization.

Ian: Yes. They might need more. I’d suggest arranging around fifty thousand. Ten thousand for each kidnapper. That should get them the treatment and maybe save some money for making bail.

Gabe: As if they would want to come out of jail after being handled by Demetri.

Finally, Nora felt as if she had been enlightened. "Are you all saying that I should do nothing and wait? Demetri will be safe?"

Ian: Of course.

Seb: Duh.

Gabe: Didn’t expect you to be so slow.

Erasmi: How long ago did you receive this picture?"

Nora frowned at the question, still absorbing the fact that they were unconcerned about Demetri’s kidnapping for some reason.

Nora: I got it about ten minutes ago.

Erasmi: Give it an hour at most. He’ll let you know he is safe.

Ian: And when he does, you can take the links for the toy shops...

Gabe: Just for your peace of mind, I’ll start arranging the money."

Seb: He doesn’t look worried. Only angry. So you shouldn’t be worried as well.

Could she believe them? Nora looked at Gabe’s message and nodded to herself. It was better to be prepared either way. She needed to go to Uncle Alex as well and let him know that Demetri had been kidnapped...They should start finding the culprits.

As Alpin Banfi Jr looked at his watch, he could not help but frown. Where had those two men disappeared off to?

Demetri continued to stare at the man who was muttering to himself and shook his head. That old man Banfi actually wanted to put this boy on the throne? What a foolish prospect? He’d lose the throne before the night turned to morning.

Meanwhile, he continued to untie the knots and finally the ropes loosened. A small smile appeared over his eyes as he prepared to spit out the gag in his mouth. Finally, free of the ropes and gag, he breathed deeply. That gag was too foul.

Foolish boy! He’d actually turned his back to him. Standing up slowly, he approached the unsuspecting Alpin Jr from behind. When he was close enough, Demetri let out a low, menacing chuckle. Startled, Alpin Jr turned around to see Demetri standing there, no longer bound.

"Surprised to see me?" Demetri taunted.

Alpin Jr stumbled backward, his eyes widening in disbelief. Demetri took advantage of the situation, closing the distance between them. "You thought you could mess with me, huh?" he sneered. "Big mistake."

Demetri felt satisfied at the fear in his eyes. "What were you saying? You wanted to know what my wife was like in bed? Huh?"

"I hate people with no manners. Tsk Tsk...Now you will know I am not someone to be trifled with...even your minions were smarter than you..."

The next few moments were a blur for the poor Alpin Banfi Junior who had never felt such pain in his small life.

As the man lay groaning on the ground, Demetri leaned down and picked up the phone that had been used to show his kidnapping. Calmly, he clicked a selfie of himself and sent it to Nora.
