The Billionaire and His PA novel Chapter 104

By Cassie’s calculations, she had been Robert’s captive for six days.

When she had realized that it had been him that had taken her, she had had a lot of questions, some of which she hadn’t been able to answer. Since when had he gotten out of prison? Was he working in conjunction with Big Daddy? Had he also been a part of her house being set on fire and Isabel getting shot? Would he also be going after Felix and the twins later? Where exactly was this house that he had taken her to?

She still found it bizarre that he had had a hand in her kidnapping as she had forgotten all about him after she and Isabel had testified against him in court. She chided herself for not seeing it coming. His exact words to her as they had carted him into the squad car on the day of his arrest had been: I’ll get you for this you stupid bitch! That day, she had thought that his words were just an empty threat of a mad man; she had never expected him to make good on it.

Judging by the fact that it had been daylight when she had been tossed into the empty room, she had theorized that she had arrived at the kidnap room on Sunday morning. Moving around the room had been difficult as her legs had still been bound but she had managed to waddle around the room, searching for something to cut her zip ties with. She had soon realized that the room was truly devoid of objects. As a result, she had to resort to standing up and using the metal bars on the windows to slowly cut through her zip ties. It had taken her almost forty minutes – an awkward twenty-five of which she had spent upside down so that she could attend to her legs – to finally free herself. When she was done, she patted herself to check whether Robert was still stupid and had left her with her phone again, but it seemed that he had grown some extra brain cells since the last time they had encountered as her phone was nowhere to be seen. She had tried escaping from the room but the door had been locked from the other side and although she had at least two hair pins in her hair, she had no idea how to pick a lock with them.

She had been futilely tugging at the metal railing on the windows again to see if they would come off when the door to the room had been thrown open. She turned around hastily to come face to face with a grinning Robert. He had only changed a little since the last time she had seen him. His blond hair was still a limp, oily mess but was slightly shorter than it was the last time they had seen. He was still lean but had added some extra muscle mass which Cassie knew would be problematic for her if she ever got into a physical struggle with him. His face was twisted in a predatory grin with the scar that ran along his face making him look even more sinister. As he was shirtless, Cassie could see that there were multiple scars and tattoos marking his body.

“I’m not surprised that you were able to get yourself out of the cable ties.” Robert stated.

“You seem like you’re very smart. Nice interview by the way. You looked really nice on camera. I would say that your face on Under the Spotlight is prettier than your face is on the pictures that they put up of you on your lost e-poster and a lot prettier than what your face looks like right now.” He teased.
