It was 4 o'clock in the morning. Jasper was sleeping peacefully in his villa, with Ella in his arms. The jarring sound of his phone ringing interrupted their tranquil rest.
"Who is calling you now?" Ella muttered, shifting to the other side.
Jasper was also curious as to who had been calling him at this hour. He groggily reached for the device, his eyes squinting to see the caller ID.
It was Samuel.
Jasper's face twisted in annoyance, wondering why Samuel would be calling him at such an ungodly hour.
"What is it, Samuel?" Jasper asked, trying to hide his irritation.
"We have intel about Raulf." Samuel's serious tone came through the phone. "He is meeting with Carl in a few days."
Jasper's eyebrows shot up in surprise. This was indeed urgent news. He sat up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes, and listened intently to Samuel's update.
