Imogen retreated to her room and locked the door. Without hesitation, she booted up her computer and started searching the internet for "Jasper Morrison".

Instantly, Imogen felt unsettled. Panic surged through her as she anxiously glanced at the door. Was the man here not the same person Eloise had introduced to her?
