Chapter 2259
Night of Destiny
Since Jasper could only rest on the couch, he decided to take a nap there. As Willow sat down and
was about to use her phone, his gaze swept over before he ordered, âGive me your phone.â
Unaware of his intentions, she handed over her phone, only to be taken aback as he abruptly smashed
it against the wall. âNo! My phone!â Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she struggled to
comprehend how he had destroyed her phone in such a manner.
âElectronic devices are not allowed here. Your phone may be tracked, he stated nonchalantly,
displaying no remorse in his tone.
âY-You can just ask me to turn it off. Why did you have to destroy it?â She pouted in anger. He closed
his eyes and said, âIf it bothers you, Iâll make it up to you by getting you a new one once weâre out.â
She sighed. Although she wanted to argue with him, she decided to let it go as she considered his
injury and the fact that he had saved her. âI wanted to contact my parents. How am I supposed to reach
them now?â she said with a hint of grievance. âFor safety reasons, donât contact anyone for now.â
âBut Iâm sure my parents will be worried sick about me.â
âThen, theyâll have to endure a few days of worry.â With that, Jasperâs exhaustion became evident
âWhat are we going to eat here?â Willow asked, believing the bodyguards would inform her father about
her situation.
âCheck the refrigerator here. Itâs restocked every week. See if thereâs any food available.â She entered
the kitchen and opened the large refrigerator. As expected, she found some fresh boxed food, which
validated his statement. Am I going to live a secluded life here with him?
As Willow considered her mission, it felt like everything was slipping away. She sighed helplessly, and
a sudden realization dawned on her. Surrounded by fresh vegetables and meat, she had no clue how
to cook! Cooking was unfamiliar territory for her. Since childhood, her family had employed a
professional nutritionist, and she had never set foot in the kitchen.
A memory resurfaced of an archaeological expedition she embarked on, where her father had arranged
for four chefs to take care of her. At the end of the expedition, everyone on the archaeological team
ended up gaining three pounds each.
As she returned to the living room and explored the place, she discovered several workrooms with only
one bedroom available. It appeared that this safe house had not considered the possibility of two
strangers needing to live together.
Although she was overwhelmed, it was also something new and exciting in her life. Without a phone to
play with, no books to read, and being unable to indulge in any of her hobbies, Willow could only sit
down. Munching on fruit, she kept company with the sleeping Jasper on the couch.
Meanwhile, Dario had been taken to the hospital by the local police. As his phone continued to receive
a series of calls, he swiftly answered, âHello, Mr. Presgrave.â
âWhatâs going on? Where is Willy now?â A low and commanding voice came from the other end of the
line. âIâm sorry. Itâs our fault, and we failed to protect Miss Presgrave. Right now, sheâs with a man
named Jasper Wyatt.â
âWho is he?â âHe met Miss Presgrave on the cruise. He took a bullet for her, and she became a target
of the organization originally after him. He managed to save her discreetly just now. Otherwise, she
wouldâve been injured too.â
âSo, youâre telling me that my daughterâs whereabouts are unknown, and we have no information about
the level of danger sheâs facing?â Elliot questioned anxiously from the other end. âIâm sorry, Mr.
Presgrave. Iâll immediately locate her.â
âNever mind. Focus on your recovery! Iâll take care of this matter.â
âThank you, Mr. Presgrave.â Dario breathed a sigh of relief, confident that Elliot could save Willow. At
Presgrave Residence, Elliot immediately instructed his subordinates to track the locator on her phone.
They had their satellite device capable of pinpointing her exact location.
