Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 1989

Jasper felt nervous because Willow left the hotel fifteen minutes ago, and Bucky’s men had already begun following her.

Without hesitation, he closed his laptop and immediately grabbed his gear before leaving. Meanwhile, Aimee was in the hall when she saw Jasper and quickly asked, “Jasper, where are you going?”

“I’m heading out to follow Bucky’s men.” Once he finished saying that, he was already out the door.

Jasper had already inserted a tracker inside the phone belonging to one of Bucky’s men, so he quickly tracked that person’s current location. At that point, a black SUV sped out of the underground parking lot. Seeing that the target was currently in a shopping mall, he guessed Willow must also be there.

In the meantime, Willow was shopping with Mae. The two were having a great time, choosing clothes and bags for each other. They had bodyguards following them all the time, but not far away, two fierce- looking men were plotting to kidnap Willow.

“Willow, you’re giving me too much. Let’s find somewhere to have a tea break!”

“Sure!” Willow knew there was a nice cafe on the third floor.

When the two entered the elevator, their bodyguards followed them, but one of Bucky’s men also entered the elevator. That man was responsible for following Willow, while the other took another path because she had seen him before. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Just as the group entered the cafe, someone entered the first-floor elevator in the lobby. He was wearing a gray sweatshirt with a hood and had a tall, muscular figure. His cap covered his forehead and eyes, revealing only his defined nose, sensual lips, and a perfect-looking jawline. His phone flashed a signal, indicating the target was less than twenty meters away.

Jasper had arrived. He looked in the direction of the signal and saw one of Bucky’s men standing by a pillar, seeming to be waiting for someone. Then, Jasper looked in the direction the man was looking in and noticed a cafe. When he arrived at the cafe, a waitress enthusiastically welcomed him. “Sir, how may I—”

“I’m looking for someone,” he replied.

The waitress looked up at the customer, and her eyes instantly widened. God! He’s so handsome.

“Okay. Please come in.” She dared not stop the man.

Jasper swept his gaze across the room and immediately noticed the young woman by the window. Willow and Mae were currently chatting while enjoying their food, and the former had no idea that danger was nearby.

However, Bucky’s men had thought of an intricate but nasty plan, which was to find a power supply and install a time bomb there. The bomb was not very powerful, but it could cause everyone in the shopping mall to panic and run away. That way, they could easily kidnap Willow during the chaos.

When the five-minute countdown was finally up, a room on the left side of the third floor suddenly exploded, shocking everyone in the shopping mall. That was followed by every electronic device malfunctioning. The scene was utter chaos.

Willow and Mae held each other’s hand while sprinting toward the cafe’s entrance. At this moment, groups of people instantly crowded the already densely populated third floor. The bodyguards waiting for Willow outside the entrance were pushed to the side by the crowd. “Miss Presgrave? Miss Presgrave!”

“Malcolm…” Willow saw her bodyguard but could not do anything because the crowd was pushing her forward. At that moment, Mae, who was holding on to her, was also pushed forward. “Willow!”

“Mae!” When Willow was about to chase after Mae, she was suddenly pushed to the ground. At that moment, a firm and strong arm grabbed her waist. The man took off his coat and tightly covered her entire figure. Then, while everyone was moving in the direction of the elevators and stairs, Willow was brought into a secluded hallway.

“Who are you? Let go of me!” Willow was shocked and frantic because the coat on her head rendered her unable to see anything. There was a strong arm around her waist, forcefully leading her away, and just as she was frantically pulling on the clothing on her head, she heard a deep male voice.
