Chapter 42 This woman belong to me.
Stella trembled with fear.
Federick ripped off her underwear brashly.
She kicked at him desperately.
He easily grabbed her ankles.
He looked at her pink underwear, and his eyes grew redder. Federick did not hide his desire for her.
Stella shook her head in fear.
Federick’s strength was terrifying.
What he wanted was not her submission but utter destruction.
Facing this, she would rather die than let him succeed.
Stella thought of Jasper’s warm protection.
Her heart shrunk as she reached to unlock the door.
“Crack!”
Federick caught her hand holding the door handle. After a momentary surprise, an almost cruel smile appeared on his face and said, “Stella, if you go on like this, you will definitely die. Stop your acting.”
Stella would remember his mocking face until the day she dies.
She smiled and said, “I don’t even bother to put up an act in front of you.”
She kicked him hard and opened the door.
But Federick held on to ankle tightly.
If she were to jump off while the car was speeding, she would either dead or disabled.
He didn’t want her to die just yet.
“Stop the car,” Federick ordered.
The driver quickly braked, the car drifted over, and stopped.
Federick let go of her.
Stella fell out of the car and lay on the ground.
Her back was numb with pain.
Federick got off the car and looked down at her arrogantly.
His eyes were cold and dangerous. He asked, “Does it hurt?”
Stella clenched her fists, her arms too were numb with pain.
Federick looked at the scratches on her arm with a cruel smile. “If you know pain, don’t disobey me again. I am teaching you a lesson this time. I will take you home now.”
“Get lost!” shouted Stella,
Federick was about to pick her up.
A harsh honk sounded.
He looked up.
Jasper got of his car and strode over to him. With a stern face, he said, “Federick, you have violated the law of traffic. You have crossed the speed limit multiple times, ran a red light, stopped your car illegally, and caused several accidents.”
“It seems that all of this has nothing to do with you, Chief Milton,” said Federick sarcastically.
“Really?” Jasper looked ahead.
Several traffic police arrived on motorcycles.
Federick’s eyes flashed with agitation, he signaled to his driver.
He ignored Jasper and bent over to hold Stella, who was lying on the ground.
“Get out of my way.” Stella roared again.
Federick held her up.
Stella was anxious. If she were to follow Federick, she would die.
She grasped at Jasper’s clothes and pleaded, “Take me away.”
Federick was stunned, and his eyes were dark. He looked at Jasper and coldly said, “For an officer like you, having an affair is equivalent to destroying your own career. Do you dare take her away?”
Jasper’s expression did not change. “I am just helping her as a friend, I’m afraid it’s still far from the crime you are thinking of.”
Jasper reached out to pick her up.
“Believe it or not, as long as you touch her, I will ruin your reputation,” Federick warned him with a livid face and sharp eyes.
“Do you think I’m afraid? I, Jasper, will do anything I want to do, even if I lose my reputation,” said Jasper without any hesitation.
Federick unexpectedly loosened his grip, and Stella fell to the ground heavily.
He looked down at her pained expression and smiled cruelly, his eyes were cold. “Stella, you’d better watch out, or I’ll make your life a living hell.”
“Sir, please show me your driving license.” The traffic police demanded impatiently.
“I am the driver. I will get it for you.” Federick’s assistant answered.
Federick just watched while Jasper bent over to pick Stella up.
Jasper turned to leave and Federick felt as if the whole world had betrayed him, just the same as what happened when he was ten years old. This made him feel so restless, he wanted to vent his anger.

Jasper gently put Stella in the back seat and then walked toward Federick’s car.
He took her bag from Federick’s back seat.
Federick grabbed Jasper’s arm and said “I am warning you for the last time. Send her to my car now. Otherwise, I will make you lose your reputation and make your life hell.”
Jasper looked at him coldly. Without saying a word, he tried to shake off Federick’s grip.
Federick was strong, Jasper did not expect it.
Jasper raised his arm suddenly to strike him, but Federick avoided it deftly.
“You’re good,” said Jasper suspiciously.
Federick frowned and began to react brashly. “Chief, you are behaving like a criminal.”
“Why, and here I thought it was you who started this,” said Jasper meaningfully.
He took Stella’s bag and turned back to his car’s back seat.
Jasper let Stella lie on his lap.
Stella did not refuse.
Her back was numb and she felt a burst of pain.
Although the wounds on her back were not deep, they were plenty.
Jasper’s eyes were full of pity. He ordered Lieutenant Johnson, “Take us to the hospital.”
Stella was lying on his lap. She could feel his muscular legs.
But they were warm and comfortable, which made her momentarily forget the pain on her back.
“Jasper, are you an angel? You appear just in time, every time I am in danger,” said Stella softly.
“Stella, are you an idiot? You always let yourself be in danger. Why do you choose to love that kind of man? Is it true, that you’re always falling in love with bad men?” said Jasper in a low voice.
He was obviously chiding her, but she felt a strong warmth from him.
The warmth was so strong it made her nose tingle and her eyes water. Tears began to fall on his lap.
No one had ever bothered to question her so kindly.
Her mother had been crazy, and her father didn’t care for her at all. Her husband had only brought her harm from the very beginning.
But she felt a burst of long-awaited care from him.
Her tears rolled down again, wet and warm.
Jasper looked at her worriedly and asked softly, “Does it hurt? Your back must be in such pain.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Stella shook her head; a thought came to her. She looked up at him and asked, “Where is your bandage?”
Jasper rubbed her head and said, “Take care of yourself first.”
“Don’t you have a brain concussion? You can’t walk around casually. You should have a good rest,” said Stella worriedly.
Jasper touched her nose and said, “Thank you for your concern.”
Stella blushed.
She knew she should not feel this way, but she craved this temporary source of warmth.
After a while, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.
“Send her to my VIP room. There are two beds. I will take care of her tonight. You can go back now.” ordered Jasper to Lieutenant Johnson.
Lieutenant Johnson scratched his head.
Why did he have a bad feeling about this?
Did the chief plan to sleep with Stella tonight?
