Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2007

“We’ll stay here for a few days. I’m giving you three days to kill those two.” Bucky turned to his subordinates grimly.

“Yes, sir. We’ll do our best to find and eliminate them.”

At that, Bucky turned and fixed his gaze out the window. If the two weren’t taken care of, his future tasks would turn difficult, and he would struggle even more in this industry.

Furthermore, he intended to wash away last night’s shame with their blood.

Bucky’s subordinates immediately sprang into action. They had just located Aimee’s whereabouts, so they surrounded the hotel she was residing in. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The young woman spent the night awake as well. She was dog-tired, yet she simply couldn’t fall asleep. It had been a long time since her emotions had taken over her thoughts, but that night, she was finding it particularly difficult to sleep.

Closing her eyes only brought forth the images of Jasper and Willow. She hadn’t witnessed Jasper’s gentle side, but she could imagine how captivating and enchanting it would be. With his personality, once he fell in love with a woman, he would protect her with his life, shower her with affection, and also spoil her rotten.

Aimee wished she could be the one Jasper loved with such devotion. But now, that dream was no more, for Jasper had found the girl. How lucky of Miss Presgrave.

Aimee let out a sigh and was about to get up and pour herself a glass of water when suddenly, a silhouette flashed by outside the window. She was in special ops after all, so she immediately sensed the danger and rushed back into her room. She picked up a suitcase she had prepared and made her way to Jasper’s room, taking his laptop with her. She approached the peephole and took a quick look.

Although she saw no one through the peephole, she knew the door was already surrounded. However, she had no choice but to fight her way out.

With that, she put on her earpiece and dialed Jasper’s phone number.

In the hotel, Jasper and Willow were resting on the couch. Willow was starting to feel drowsy, and her little head naturally leaned on the man’s shoulder as she closed her eyes.

Just then, Jasper’s phone vibrated, and he checked the caller ID before answering. “Jasper…” Aimee’s voice came at once. “Bucky’s men have found me. Let’s meet up at the safe house.”

The young woman hung up after relaying her message, and Jasper put his phone down, looked at the girl sleeping on his shoulder, and whispered, “Willow, wake up.”

“What is it?” Willow opened her slightly groggy eyes and looked at him.

“I’m sending you home.” Jasper’s tone sounded grave.

“Has something happened?” A sharp-witted lady, Willow quickly realized something was up. She sat up straight and looked at him. “Are you being chased?”

“Where are your bodyguards?” Jasper asked instead.

“They’re downstairs.”

“Call them and have them take you home immediately.” Jasper clenched his jaw, clearly apprehensive. He wouldn’t even have batted an eyelid if he was faced with such a situation alone. However, with Willow by his side, he plunged into anxiety.

“Alright.” Willow nodded, sensing his anxiety. “I’ll call them now.”

After calling her bodyguards, Willow held Jasper’s hand tightly. “Let my people help you! I only need two bodyguards to take me home.”

“Your safety is the top priority.” Jasper locked his gaze on her.

“Alright, promise me you’ll text me before 7.00AM, telling me you’re okay,” Willow demanded.

“Okay,” Jasper agreed to comfort her.

However, Willow bit her lip with some reluctance still and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning into his chest as she lamented, “Why is our rendezvous always so rushed? I really wish we could spend a little more time together.”

Jasper didn’t push her away. He simply lowered his head and gazed at the face pressed against his chest, his eyes unknowingly softening.
