Chapter 316

It was strange, I went into the room, as I got in, I noticed that Cassandra was no longer on the bed, 

"Babe! Babe!" I yelled, as I search through the house.

I couldn't find her, the room was empty, I took out my phone, and called her, and her phone ranged from inside the room, which means she left, her cellphone, in the room.

I was starting to get worried, it was not like her to leave, without letting me know, or without waiting for me, I picked up the hotel phone, and called the receptionist, and she picked up,

"Good evening." I greeted.

"Good evening sir, how may I help you?" She asked.

"Did you see my wife, did she check out?" I asked.

"No sir, your wife did not come over here." She answered.

"Okay thanks." I said.

"Is there anything else I can assist you with?" She asked.

"No, that will be all." I replied, as I hung up the call.

My heart, started pounding fast, why would Cassandra leave without dropping any message on where she is going, I thought inwardly, then suddenly my phone ranged, and I picked it up,

"Okay, I understand." I replied, as I hunged up the call.

I dropped my phone on the bed, a lot of emotions were flowing through my body, how did Cassandra get kidnapped, under my watch, and also, who would want to kidnap her, I don't think I have any enemies in Russia, I barely know anyone over here, how do I get one million dollars, in cash, in such a short notice, I have the money but, I don't know, how I am supposed to get it in cash, I thought to myself, I then brought out my phone and called Gustavo,

"Hey, boss, how are you doing." He said, with a sleepy voice.

"I need your help Gustavo, I am in a hot mess right now." I replied, talking quickly

"Slow down, what happened?" He asked.

"Cassandra got kidnapped, and the kidnappers called me not quite long ago, they said, they want 1,000,000 dollars." I answered bluntly.

"Whaaat! Are you serious, how did that happen?" He inquired.

I couldn't tell him where I went to, I immediately thought of a lie,

"I went to get us some distilled water from the receptionist,
