Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2301

Upon hearing the doorbell, Willow sighed and straightened Jasper’s collar while admonishing, “Be careful and remember to text me. I want to know you’re safe.”

Jasper nodded in assurance. Taking advantage of his momentary distraction, Willow quickly tiptoed and planted a kiss on his cheek. Then she grabbed her bag and slipped away like a sneaky cat making its swift exit.

Her bodyguards were already waiting outside when she opened the door, standing in formation. Willow walked out like nothing had happened, carrying her bag, and said to the bodyguards,” Come on, take me home.”

Once Willow and the bodyguards were out of sight, Jasper quickly stepped out as well. He pressed the elevator button and went down to the underground parking lot. As he arrived, he saw Willow’s bodyguard car just pulling out. He swiftly got into his own car, starting it to follow the vehicle ahead.

After exiting the hotel, Jasper, who initially drove toward the safe house, suddenly changed his mind and followed Willow’s convoy of bodyguards. He couldn’t rest easy unless he saw her safely home at the Presgrave Residence with his own eyes, but just then, his phone rang.

He put on his Bluetooth earpiece and answered, “Hello, are you out of danger?” Aimee’s voice came through, “I’ve arrived at the safe house. Where are you?”

“I need a little more time.” “Hurry back, Jasper. If Wells’ henchmen can find me, they can surely find you too. If you keep being with Miss Presgrave, you’ll get her killed. Aimee spoke mercilessly. At that, Jasper hit the brakes and pulled over by the side of the street amidst the drizzling rain. Her words sent a sharp pain in his heart.

Meanwhile, Willow’s convoy made a U-turn ahead, swiftly driving past from the adjacent street. From Jasper’s vantage point, the three imposing black SUVS blocked his view, but he knew that without his protection, Willow would be safer.
