Three days later, Willow’s phone rang, and she was informed that the city would be holding a commendation ceremony the following Friday, where she had been selected as one of the top ten citizens to be honored. Excited and grateful, she gladly accepted the invitation to attend. After going through a rollercoaster of emotions in the past few days, she decided it was time for a fresh start and moved out of her family home into her villa.
Meanwhile, Elliot and Anastasia, knowing their daughter had recently experienced a challenging relationship, decided to give her space and not interfere with her matters. They believed facing life’s challenges would help her learn and grow, and they wanted her to control her life. Hence, whatever decisions their daughter made, they would support her wholeheartedly..
Similarly, Jasper had settled into his villa as well. Though he had a few days of leave left and could have returned to his position earlier, he chose to stay and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. During his relaxing days, he received an unexpected call from Antoine. “Hello, Uncle.”
“Are you at home?”
“Yes!” “I need you to come back for a mission. When will you be able to pack up and return?” “I would like to enjoy the rest of my holidays before returning.”
After hearing this, Antoine spoke in a hushed manner, cautioning, ‘Jasper, don’t cause any trouble. Don’t think I don’t know what’s happening between you and Miss Presgrave.”
“I’ve already settled that matter, Jasper replied. “I won’t interfere with your matters, but don’t you forget about your mission. Between work and relationships, you can only have one choice.”
“I understand, Jasper acknowledged. After the call ended, he quickly grabbed his laptop and skillfully navigated through various steps until a live feed appeared on the screen. The camera was positioned near a charming villa and a young woman leisurely basking in the sunshine while tenderly petting her adorable kitten.
The young woman in the video was Willow, and ever since that night, Jasper couldn’t shake off his worries about her. He discreetly traced her movements for a few days and discovered she had moved out from her family’s home to a villa she owned. As he watched her on the screen, a mix of emotions filled his eyes, making him feel like an unintentional stalker.
Suddenly, the cat leaped out of her arms and onto the grass, prompting her to chase after it. She tripped on her slippers and fell, but undeterred, she rubbed her aching legs and continued chasing the mischievous feline. However, the cat seemed triggered by something as it effortlessly jumped over a wall and vanished from sight.
“Oh, no! Chacha, my cat!’ Willow fretted, standing behind the wall and stomping her feet in anxiety. On the other hand, fueled by concern, Jasper sprang into action, grabbing his laptop, phone, and car keys before rushing out of his home.
In the meantime, she hurriedly went to the other side of the courtyard wall in search of her runaway cat. Despite her efforts, her cat was nowhere to be found, leaving her no choice but to seek help from her bodyguards.
Just as she returned home, a sleek black SUV pulled up near the courtyard wall, and a striking man in all-black attire emerged from it, radiating an aura of intelligence and power. The man inspected the fence briefly before diligently searching where the cat had disappeared.
Willow’s villa was surrounded by lush woods, shrubs, and vibrant flowers, making the search. challenging. Nevertheless, the man displayed. incredible patience and determination. Finally, he spotted the Ragdoll cat, as enchanting as its owner, sitting under a short tree adorned with a cute pink bib.
“Come here. I’ll bring you home,” Jasper said as he reached to retrieve the cat. Surprisingly, the cat didn’t resist and allowed itself to be picked up.
With the cat comfortably nestled in his arms, his tall and striking figure approached the nearby wall, giving the cat a few comforting pats along the way.
However, Willow’s hope remained undeterred, and she still searched for her missing feline. As she turned the corner, she was taken aback by the sight that met her eyes-a familiar figure holding her beloved cat in his embrace. A profound silence enveloped them at that moment. She was left utterly stunned, even more so than her cat. As she saw her beloved feline resting securely in the man’s embrace, an inexplicable feeling of envy washed over her.
