Chapter 28 Gotcha! she is mine
“Sir! Please don’t! It’s too dangerous.” The sweat dripping down his forehead showed how worried he is.
Jasper put away his things and said resolutely, ” Who else do you think is more suitable than me? I am the only one who is related to this.”
“No! I don’t think so. I believe that the army from the special forces will take this mission as an honor.”
“Lieutenant Johnson, go carry ten kilograms of weight and run twenty laps around the field. You speak too much.” He said it without expression. He sorted out the mess and departed to the crime scene.
…
By the seaside, a group of armed police was lined up neatly with rifles in their hands.
In the middle of the crowd of police, there is a car with a tinted window. Wilson Chuck is sitting in it. Next to him sat a man who wore similar clothes and looked pretty much like Wilson Chuck.
Jasper was guided to the car by a police officer.
Wilson hung up the phone with the kidnappers and said to Jasper, “They promised to let two persons accompany me to the island. You must ensure my daughter’s safety.”
Jasper took a glance at Wilson’s face.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
He even found a substitute. He was such a coward.
Jasper didn’t say anything. He took Wilson’s phone and got on the yacht with the substitute.
“Sir, let me go with you.” Lieutenant Johnson rushed over.
If something happens to the chief, he would be in trouble. He might have just come over to protect the chief instead.
“Stay where you are and wait for my order,” Jasper ordered. “Depart to the destination now.”
The first thing that he did when he arrived at the island was to contact the kidnappers but to find out that they had turned off the phone.
With all the worries in mind, he walked through the wild woods in front of him.
Things were getting more and more suspicious.
It was too quiet for the woods that you couldn’t hear any birds chirping.
Finally, he saw a wooden hut in front of him.
He peeped around and quickly leaned against the wall of the wooden hut.
He gradually opened the window at the seam that was just enough for him to glance inside.
Stella was hung in the middle of the house with a rope.
Her mouth was stuffed with cloth, her hands were bruised, her face looked as pale as snow.
She looked heavenward with her eyes filled with emptiness.
He didn’t know if it was because of her strength or fear.
She was too calm.
Jasper felt his heart tightened. He glanced around the room and found that there was no one else in it.
He quickly pushed the door and rushed in.
Stella looked at him.
Her big eyes got wider when she saw him. With all his fortitude and worries that were written on his face, she fell silent for a while.
She couldn’t take her eyes off him till her eyes turned red. A slow smile built as the surprise sinks in.
Some said that when God closes a door, He opens a window.
Jasper quickly ran over, untied the rope on her hands, and rescued her.
He pulled off the cloth from her mouth.
He saw the red mark on her face and frowned slightly. His heart ached and he asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”
Stella shook her head.
He felt so sorry for her, he gently held her red and swollen hands and slowly blew them, hoping that it would help reduce her pain. He said in a soft voice which he rarely did, “It must be so painful.”
Stella stared at him.
She didn’t cry when the mistress paid her a visit, she didn’t cry when Federick almost killed her. However, there was something in her heart, an indescribable feeling started to grow deep within her heart when she realized that he cared for her.
There was too much pain given to her from this world, she was numb.
There was little sunlight in her life and hence she was more appreciative of it.
Tears flooded her eyes and ran down her cheeks. She sniffed her nose and smiled again. “I’m fine.”
Yes, without Federick, she will be fine.
She walked over and picked up her bag.
Jasper held her hand and promised, “Follow me closely. I will guarantee your safety.”
Stella took a glance at his hand.
His palm was so warm.
The long-term training makes his palms rough, but they looked strong. These palms made her feel at ease.
She no longer refused his involvement anymore.
Maybe she was too tired now.
Her heart was too bitter. She needed this warmth to drive away from the chill in her body.

When Wilson Chuck saw Stella going ashore, his face darkened.
He frowned and his voice became sharp. “How could it be you? It was you who told the gangsters that you were my daughter?”
Stella looked at Wilson Chuck indifferently.
She didn’t say that she was his daughter. She wouldn’t say such a thing even if she was close to death.
“Ridiculous! It’s a waste of my time.” Wilson got on to the car angrily, slammed the door heavily, and left, leaving a group of confused faces behind.
However, only Stella knew the reason and truth.
She stood there quietly, watching Wilson’s car drove away.
He thought it was Felicia who was kidnapped, so he came.
He always thought that Felicia was his daughter but she never was!
Stella felt a slight pain in her chest.
“I’ll send you back.” Jasper noticed her discomfort.
She turned her head and smiled at Jasper. She put away the gloom in her eyes and said, “Sure.”
She got on to his car, leaned against the window, and closed her eyes.
She was so tired that she had not gotten a rest from the morning till now.
She fell asleep after a while.
Her phone rang.
Jasper was afraid of waking her up, so he answered the phone.
“Where are you? Come to my villa in an hour.” Federick ordered.
Jasper hated his tone. His black pupils grew darker and wider. He said in a low voice, “She fell asleep.”
“Who are you? Jasper! Where are you?” There was an inexplicable panic in Federick’s heart.
“Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning, bye!” He hung up the phone and turned off the phone for Stella.
He gazed at Stella.
Stella tilted her neck and leaned her head back.
It was still 40 minutes away from the city center.
She would be getting a stiff neck if she were to sleep in that position.
Jasper saw a hotel not too far away from him.
He steered the car towards the parking lot of the hotel.
The rules of the hotel were very strict. No one could check-in without an ID card.
He used his own officer card to get a room.
Stella was still asleep.
He picked her up and walked towards the elevator.
Her body was soft and her face was flushed like an apple.
He gently put her on the bed.
Her hair brushed against his arm, it was tingling.
His pupils widened and he was mesmerized by the atmosphere. He could feel the heat rising from his stomach.
After all, he is a man.
The taste of her body was deeply imprinted in his mind three years ago.
He sighed and covered her with a duvet before he walked towards the bathroom.
The cold water trickled down his body but could not cool the excitement in his heart… and the agitation hidden in his body was not cooled.
This was the time to test his willpower.
Early morning.
Stella was woken up by the sound of running water from the bathroom.
She sat up and fixed her hair. She was still feeling dizzy and she saw Jasper’s clothes lying on the sofa.
The corner of her mouth turned up.
It was calming to be in the same room as him.
She stepped out of bed.
Jasper walked out of the bathroom.
His hair was wet and his face tautened. The fortitude that was hanging on his face highlighted his pronounced facial features. His expression could not help but show that he was suppressing his feelings.
The strong and well-build muscles extended to his abdomen.
He was wrapped with a white bath towel around his belly button and he appeared to be extremely attractive.
Stella’s cheek turned pink. She tried to look straight to his face and said softly, “Morning.”
Jasper ignored her and walked towards the sofa, picking up his clothes.
She felt that he seemed to be unhappy.
“Hey… thank you. I slept too deeply yesterday and didn’t notice that I was checked in to the hotel.” Stella thanked him.
He squinted at her with his handsome face and a strange flame in his eyes. “What do you thank me for? For not taking advantage of you given that we were on the same bed?”
