Chapter 125 Storm Comes At A Night
Stella Grace did not know how much time had passed.
She woke up and saw Jasper Milton sleeping beside her.
She frowned.
If she had to pretend that she didn’t know him, she should leave this room secretly.
However, she did not dare to go out. She was worried that the bald man was outside the room.
If she was caught by the bald man, things would get worse.
She turned over Jasper’s hand and touched his body.
Her touch woke him. He held her hand and pressed it on the bed.
“Let me go,” Stella said sharply.
Jasper took a pill and plopped it into her mouth.
“What did you give to me?” Stella opened her eyes wide.
He kissed her lips.
Stella knew that he would never hurt her.
They had to save each other.
However, the unknown fear burned her tense nerves.
Her body then emitted a particular warmth.
Jasper put her ankle on his shoulder and made love to her.
However, Jasper had not taken off her clothes throughout the process.
The bald man stared at the screen, watching Jasper enjoying himself. He cleared his throat. “Damn, looking at him, enjoying himself so much. I can’t stand it anymore, I’m going out to look for women.”
“Boss, do we still need to keep watching?” asked one of the men.
“It’s up to you.” The bald man left.
Hearing the sound of the car downstairs, Jasper, who had been nervous for a while, relaxed a little.
Ten minutes later, his cell phone rang. He rejected the call.
Jasper knew what it meant.
The call indicated that the CCTV was still on, but no one was watching the monitor anymore.
He had to make Stella stay in the room. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to protect her from those monsters out there.
Stella had not woken up yet, and her body was soft. Her eyes were half-closed as she lay in bed.
He tied Stella up and found a blind corner that the CCTV would not reach. He lowered his voice and whispered, “At 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, we will leave to see their boss. Stay here. I will have two people watch over you. Don’t be afraid.”
Stella had no strength. She blinked her eyes to show that she understood.
“Please bear with me for another night. I know that their boss is Mike Lewis from the military service. It was he who set up the bomb. He still has a large cache of weapons. I have to solve this issue,” Jasper explained to her.
Stella understood. She blinked her eyes again and closed them.
Jasper handcuffed their wrists together and covered them with a blanket.
Stella squeezed his hand.
He reciprocated.
That night, someone knocked on the door.
Jasper woke up, opened his eyes, and met Stella’s eyes.
She frowned. Before she could say anything, Jasper put tape on her lips.
It was safest if she remained silent.
He handcuffed her to the bed.
Then, he opened the door.
The bald man was waiting outside. “Sir, how was your sleep? It’s time for us to depart.” The bald man leered lustfully at Stella.
“Don’t let this woman go. When we’re done, I want to continue having fun with her as celebration. It will be your turn after I tire of her,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
The bald man’s eyes were suspicious. “You’ve been playing with her for a whole night, but you’re still not tired of her?”
“The most important thing is not the skill, but whose woman she is! Tom and Harry, look after her. Don’t let her run away. If she runs away, you will have to pay with your lives,” Jasper ordered his subordinates.
“Yes, Boss.” they replied.
“I need to change my clothes.” Jasper turned around and went into the bathroom. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and changed his clothes. He stole a glance at Stella as he left.
Stella knew that he was going to see the boss. He was in a more dangerous situation than her.
If he successfully completed the mission, she would be able to escape unscathed.
If he failed, she would be in deep trouble as well.
As time went by, her nerves refused to relax.
Three hours later, she heard a series of explosions.
Tom rushed into Stella’s room and untied her.
“What happened to him?” Stella asked worriedly.
“Come with me,” Tom said, dragging Stella out of the room.
Stella noticed the serious expression on Tom’s face. “What happened? Where is Jasper? Did he complete the task?”
“Stop asking. It’s not something you should know. Get out of here,” Tom said coldly.
Stella pulled away her hand. “Where is Jasper? Where is he now?” she demanded.
“I don’t know. I was told to take you away from here immediately. The Chief will contact you once he is able to do so. Please follow me now, and don’t cause any more trouble to the Chief.” Tom said in a serious tone.
She thought about it and agreed. If the bald man caught her, she would get Jasper into trouble.
She quickly followed Tom and got into his car.
Tom hastily drove her back to Sun City.
Stella clasped the phone tightly, waiting for Jasper’s call.
It had been more than three hours since she arrived back in Sun City and Jasper still had not called her.
She knew something bad had happened.
It stood to reason that, an hour after the explosion, Jasper must be safe. Did something else happen?
“Can you contact your colleague? I want to know the situation Jasper is in now,” Stella asked Tom worriedly.
Tom did not speak.noveldrama
Stella was a little angry, so she called Jasper.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.”
She did not know what else to do. “Please. I’m worried about his safety. As long as he’s safe, I won’t bother you anymore,” she pleaded.
Tom glared at Stella and said flippantly, “This is a secret military operation. The Chief will contact you after he is done with the task.”
Stella finally gave up.
She looked out the window with concern.
Tom sent Stella to the entrance of hotel and he left.
Stella returned to her room. Mina Hadley was there waiting for her.
Seeing the state Stella was in, she asked worriedly, “What happened?”
Stella’s eyes lit up with hope when she saw Mina. She grasped her shoulder and asked, “Are you able to contact Jasper now?”
Mina sensed something was wrong with Stella. “I’ll try,” she agreed.
Stella watched her make the call nervously.
“No one answered. Usually if the Chief doesn’t answer a call, it’s either because he is in a meeting or on duty,” Mina said.
“Meeting? Unlikely. Mina would have told her once the mission was over, there would have been no more need for secrecy. Yet it had been three hours since the explosion and they still had not heard from Jasper. The mission had to be over by now!
“I’ll ask my colleagues. Don’t worry.” Mina was starting to worry herself.
However, no one knew where Jasper was. It was as if someone was deliberately covering up any new information.
