Trapped With The Untouchable CEO Chapter 04
I looked at that familiar hair tie. My blood ran cold.
Mia was the person I loved most in this world, besides my father.
I felt like I was going crazy, the last of my sanity slipping away.
“Who is it? Who paid you to do this?” Alexander gritted his teeth.
The synthesized electronic voice remained cheerful. “That’s not for you to know, Mr. Sterling! We get paid to solve problems.”
“Now I’ll start counting down from ten. If you don’t complete the task within ten seconds, I’ll kill the little girl! Hehe…”
I shuddered, regaining a bit of clarity. “Stop! That looks like the hair tie I made her, but how do I know you really have Mia?”
The electronic voice let out a sinister laugh.
The screen flickered, then switched to a live feed: a familiar figure was tied to a chair, gagged with a cloth. When she saw the camera, she shook her head hard, tears spilling down her face.
“Mia!” I screamed and tried to rush forward, but Alexander grabbed me.
“Ten… nine…”
The screen instantly cut back to the livestream, and the electronic voice began to count down.
“Alexander!” I cried out, my voice broken, “Please…”
I broke. Between the drug burning through me and the threat to Mia, I gave up my final struggle.
Alexander looked up at me sharply, his eyes full of shock and a flicker of pain I almost missed.
The comments on the screen were going wild:
“Finally figured it out!”
“Mr. Sterling, don’t just stand there! Go kiss her!”
“Take her right after the kiss! Don’t hold back!”
“Do it! Do it! Do it!”
“Eight…”
But Alexander didn’t move. He turned his head away, gritting his teeth to endure it, his body trembling slightly.
We both knew one kiss could break whatever control we had left.
For Mia, I inched toward Alexander. When I was two steps away from him, my strength was almost completely drained, and I stumbled forward.
Alexander caught me with quick reflexes, his scalding palm gripping my waist. His heat burned through the thin fabric.
“Careful.” His voice was hoarse. His grip was careful, restrained, trembling.
By now, the electronic voice had counted down to four.
The comments on the screen began to mock:
“Oh! Is that it? He doesn’t even dare to hold her waist tightly?”
“What, is Sterling impotent? Even the drug can’t save you?”
“The woman needs to take the initiative! Throw yourself into his arms!”
“Just kiss me. Please.” I gritted my teeth and leaned my face closer to his.
The cold sweat from my forehead had dripped into my eyes, stinging painfully, but I didn’t dare close them, only staring fixedly into his eyes.
His eyes were still bloodshot, but there was an added trace of struggle I couldn’t understand.
Alexander’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he slowly lowered his head.
I could feel his breath right above me, heavy and rapid, each exhale hitting the top of my head with intense aggression.
His kiss was very light, like a feather brushing across my lips. His lips were cooler than I expected, instantly dispelling some of the burning heat.
Somehow, that gentleness scared me more than force would have.
My mind screamed at me to push him away, but my body was terrifyingly honest. I only wanted to press closer into his embrace, wanted him to hold me tight, wanted that coolness to extinguish the fire burning inside me.
The comments on the screen exploded:
“They finally kissed! Touch her chest!”
“Look at her face! She’s loving it, right?”
“Don’t stop, Mr. Sterling! Keep going!”
Just as I was losing control of myself, Alexander whispered something in my ear, his breath hot against my skin.
“The tracker on me has been activated. Hold on a little longer.”
