Chapter 148 - She is a victim...

Jasper frowned at the depressing vibes the cover is emanating and then opened the book. 

"Linda!!!" Jasper spoke in utter shock. 

Few seconds back…..

When he opened the book it is only when he noticed that it isn't a book at all. Inside the book shaped cabinet there is a small, black box. 

He couldn't help but frown. 

He thought that this book is the second part of story director has narrated, which is awfully his and Evelyn's past. 

So, he expected something else and have received something he didn't expect. 

Still in his bewilderment, Jasper took the black box and opened it. 

But what he saw next is something that made him utterly shocked and stunned. 

Inside the black box is the platinum pendant chain. The pendent chain might be totally unique and one of the kind, but it was actually the gift Jasper gave on her birthday when they were eighteen. 

However, the chain wasn't the thing that made him shocked. It is a piece of paper that is placed with the chain. 

As soon as he saw the paper, he couldn't help but remember Linda. 

Playing mind games, using letters to contact the person...it is so Linda!! 

She loves playing like this to get what she wanted. 

But, the context inside is the thing that made him totally sure that it is Linda who sent him this. 

"Linda!!!" Jasper spoke in utter shock. 

The message she wrote inside were the last words they had talked before she disappeared years ago. Jasper still remember them because she sounded so guilty and he couldn't detect that. 

And, no one knows about their last conversation because it was kind of private. Not even Alex and Liam are aware of it 

The only person who might have known about this last conversation is his Eve but he doubt that she wasn't the one who sent him this message. 

The way of using words, those tricky lines it reminds him of Linda and Linda only. His Evelyn will not do something like this. 

She might be a badass and awesomely genius but she is totally different from Linda. 

'Its totally unbelievable. Linda reincarnated too' Jasper thought. He couldn't help but wonder why Linda came back even after she got a new life…

Might be Revenge!!!

He couldn't help but hope that she came back to make things right. 

But why is she playing hide and seek?? And, why did she appear and let him know about her existence now? 

And, why did she let him witness the scene of his past?? Is there any ulterior motives behind this? 

"Baby, open the car door" Jasper heard a concerned voice. 

Biyu who was searching for him earlier has at last found him in his car with his eyes closed. She was panicked that Jasper took her confession a little too serious. 

She knew how much it affects Jasper when he sees her sad and guilty, just like how she did right now. 

He has been telling her to leave their past and move on…..yet, she couldn't control herself from doing so. 

Meanwhile, Jasper sighed and chucked the book with the box into a side cabinet and opened the door for his girl to enter the car. 

"Hey" Jasper casually greeted as she sat down in passenger seat. 

She, of course can see that he is visibly sad and little confused!! And, he is exhausted too. 

"Jas, about what happened inside….I…..uhm" Biyu stammered a little and sighed. After taking a short breath she looked at Jasper. 

Holding his hands she caressed the back of his hand with her thumb, she told, "You know, back then…before my reincarnation, when I realized that I was doing a grave mistake by helping Austin, I really thought of confessing it to you" 

"I had replayed many scenarios over and over in my heart so that I could make it more convincing to you…..so that I can lessen my regret and self blame. However, given with the limited amount of time….well, to be precise because of my cowardice I couldn't bring myself to face you" she said. 

"So...so….when I just got to recreate that moment, I think I overdid it and made you feel sad or something like that" Biyu said as she looked at their hands that were entwined. 

"I am sorry for bringing it back Jasper. But when I just remember the consequences if brought, it makes me really guilty. Alex lost her baby and Liam got kidnapped. Many safe houses of Council were in attack….I…." Biyu started to open up as the hot tears made its way down her flushed cheeks.

"Baby, don't" Jasper hastily stopped her when she started sobbing. He gently hugged her, but the space in the car constricted him from comforting her more. 

"On the first place, this kidnap, killings…those are because of White shadows organization, not because of Austin or his boss!! You are just overthinking this matter and making it drown you in regret and guilt." Jasper softly coaxed. 

"Didn't we think to be open to each other love? Then, why haven't you told me that you are feeling this emotional and mental stress just because of that trivial matter?? You are still recuperating, remember?" he continued. 

Biyu just couldn't help but sob even more. She actually hid this from him so he will not get stressed over it. But when she is doing the script, she realized that she is doing the same mistakes by not telling him some of the things 

This small recreation of their past, made her look something even clearer and straight. 

"No, no…..Jasper. I don't think these are trivial matters to forget anymore. When Liam got kidnapped, I just kind of had a hunch that Austin's boss is somehow connected to white shadows" Biyu said. 

"The….safe houses they attacked, the hidden bases they exposed….those all have somehow matched with the information I once gave to Austin. Don't you think it's all connected?" Biyu asked as she covered her face with her palms 

"I was so, so foolish and because of me you guys have suffered. How can I just wipe off my guilt as if nothing happened? It's all my fault…all of it" she sniffled as she started shaking. 

Meanwhile, Jasper is shocked by the sudden revelation. So, all those things that happened to council, Liam and Alexandra were because of the information Evelyn had given to Austin once. 

So, the white shadows organization got the confidential information of Council from Austin or his boss? 

It's seemed like they sold information to the white shadows!!

It makes sense… 

However, it is still not his Evelyn's fault. She was just manipulated and used. 

She is clearly a victim…

"Baby girl, it's still not your fault. There is really no need to feel this guilty and inflict yourself with such an unbearable pain. Let go of it, love. None of us blame you" Jasper softly consoled her and wiped her tears 

"Moreover, everything has gone back to normal isn't it? Everyone are safe and all the bases of council are secured again. You didn't cause a rampage that Council can't handle." He chuckled. 

"No Jasper. I am just having a premotion that I caused something just more than this. What if white shadows got something they really needed" 

"You are gonna hate me, my family, your family and whole Council is going to blame me. And, everyone would blame you, point you for the cause. After all, I was your friend for whom you gave full access to council's information. I let you down and I would never ever forgive myself for that. Sometimes I even feel that I am still not worthy of you" Biyu told. 

Jasper sighed a chuckle and pulled her closer into his arms. Looking into her eyes he kissed her lips. "No one is going to hate you and I will never agree that you aren't worthy for me. In turn I think, I am not worthy of you"

"Baby girl, after you have got your power in council back, you have created wonders just in a small span of time, you are a miracle and most wonderful woman I have ever met" Jasper chuckled. 

Biyu looked up with teary eyes and her lips trembled. She is currently speechless and all she could do is to sob against his chest. 

"So, my lady, can I get my Eve back? I just had something planned for her" Jasper lovingly caressed her cheeks and without informing anyone he just ignited his car and drove away. 

Now he understood why Linda has recreated this situation. She is trying to make Biyu talk to him about her inner feelings and real emotions she didn't display till now. 

But is she trying to strengthen their bond or worse, break it?? 

Because, what ever she did now, it definitely has two type of outcomes. 

One…..Creating trust issues between them. 

Two…..Trying to communicate something or trying to help them. 

However, Jasper will never ever let anyone or anything come between them. 

In fact, this event made him understand how fragile and insecure his Eve is. She is actually not brave and strong like she seems to be.
