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, ‘Give me your phone.”
Unaware of his intentions, she handed over her phone, only to be taken aback as he abruptly smashed it against
the wall. ‘No! My phone!” Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she struggled to comprehend how he had
destroyed her phone in such a manner.
“Electronic devices are not allowed here. Your phone may be tracked, he stated nonchalantly, displaying no
remorse in his tone.
“Y-You can just ask me to turn it off. Why did you have to destroy it?” She pouted in anger. He closed his eyes and
said, “If it bothers you, I’ll make it up to you by getting you a new one once we’re out.”
She sighed. Although she wanted to argue with him, she decided to let it go as she considered his injury and the

with a hint of grievance. “For safety reasons, don’t contact anyone for now.”
“But I’m sure my parents will be worried sick about me.”
“Then, they’ll have to endure a few days of worry.” With that, Jasper’s exhaustion became evident “What are we
going to eat here?” Willow asked, believing the bodyguards would inform her father about her situation.
“Check the refrigerator here. It’s restocked every week. See if there’s any food available.” 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, “Hello, Mr. Presgrave.”

“What’s going on? Where is Willy now?” A low and commanding voice came from the other end of the line. “I’m
sorry. It’s our fault, and we failed to protect Miss Presgrave. Right now, she’s with a man named Jasper Wyatt.”
“Who is he?” “He 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 would’ve been injured
too.”
“So, you’re telling me that my daughter’s whereabouts are unknown, and we have no information about the level
of danger she’s facing?” Elliot questioned anxiously from the other end. “I’m sorry, Mr. Presgrave. I’ll immediately
locate her.”
“Never mind. Focus on your recovery! I’ll take care of this matter.”
“Thank you, Mr. Presgrave.” 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.
