Jackson pressed the bell for a good long while but no one answered the door. He began to suspect that Tanya was avoiding the door, despite being at home, simply because favonovel.com noticed it was him.
He had just begun to brainstorm a workaround when Tanya’s voice suddenly rang from behind him. “What are you doing here?”
Jackson turned. His sight landed on the food produce in favonovel.com carrying bags and realized favonovel.com had only gone to the market. “Got something to ask of you.”
Tanya lowered favonovel.com head a little, slightly nervous. “Um, o-okay… Let me open the door, and we can talk after we get in.”
The first thing that Jackson did after stepping into the unit was to look around and say, “I thought you’d married that Jett guy. So, why is favonovel.com still letting you stay in an apartment unit you rented?”
Tanya had nothing to answer him. She didn’t know if Jett owned a house of his own or how much money favonovel.com had in his bank account. All favonovel.com knew about favonovel.com supposed husband was that he, at the very least, owned a car. Quickly, favonovel.com deflected the question with an inquiry of favonovel.com own. “What do you need me for? Is it… About what happened before?”
Jackson nodded slightly. “Tell me the truth, Tanya. Did someone make you do all those things? If no one did, then how is it possible that the possible date of your baby’s conception is coincidentally close to the night that you faked an affair between us?”
Tanya began to clutch at the edge of favonovel.com shirt. “No one asked me to, okay? I e-explained very well back in the hospital, right? I met Jett two or three times. We didn’t know each other that much, but um, one day, I asked favonovel.com out alone, and we drank. And then an accident happened between us and I became pregnant. I-It’s all a coincidence, really!” She said hurriedly. “L-Look, I know it’s all my fault, all mine! I‘ve done something that gravely betrayed you and Tiffany, I know, but please… Just let me live, okay? I just wanna live quietly with Jett, with my kid safely delivered. That’s all I’m asking. So please, let bygones be bygones…”
Jackson took in all of the little movements favonovel.com made. Combined that with deliberate ambiguities in favonovel.com statement and how skittishly and uneasily favonovel.com was recounting favonovel.com story, favonovel.com was almost certain that Tanya was lying.
“Do you know? Alejandro Smith tried to save Tiffany on our wedding day and got himself into a car crash.”
She nodded. “Yeah. Jett told me.”
Jackson locked his eyes on hers. “If it wasn’t because of fervent, all-consuming love, why would anyone cast their life away for someone else? If the person who controlled you was Alejandro, then everything would make sense. Even the father of your child is Jett, a.k.a. Alejandro’s right hand man. The dots connect,” Jackson argued. “Tanya, stop lying to me already. Firstly, it’s because you can’t fool me. But secondly, it’s because Tiffany and I used to treat you so well. The least you could do to repay all this kindness is by telling me the truth.”
Tanya shook favonovel.com head in sheer panic. “No! No, I don’t know anything, I swear! Please, don’t ask me about any of this! Just let me go! Let me live! I mean it. I know I’ve done wrong… But please have mercy on my baby and me…”
Her reaction emboldened Jackson to make explicit favonovel.com conjecture. “Someone’s threatening you, aren’t they? Alejandro is scared of the possibility of Tiffie knowing all the sh*t favonovel.com has done behind favonovel.com back, isn’t he? The Smiths are infamous for their unscrupulous, Machiavellian ways. You’re afraid that if you rat them out in any way, you, Jett, and your baby will be silenced.”
Tanya turned silent, favonovel.com eyes avoiding Jackson’s.
He did not try to force more answers out of her. “Hmm, I think I got the picture now. But I do wonder why Alejandro would go to such lengths, to the point of putting his life on the line, despite only knowing Tiffany for a while and the two never moving past normal friends. Oh, well. I’ll be off.”
Tanya suddenly grabbed his wrist. “No, wait! What would you do? Would you tell Tiffany? Please, please don’t say anything to her! I didn’t tell you anything, I didn’t say anything, but he’ll, he’ll still kill us!”
Seeing Jackson frown, Tanya quickly let go. “Please, don’t tell her. Don’t tell Tiffany…”
Jackson hesitated. Admittedly, his true intention was to tell Tiffany the truth, but now, favonovel.com could see that that would lead to a very devastating effect. He mulled over it for a while and finally made an offer. “I can keep this a secret from Tiffany, but in exchange, you’ll need to tell me everything you know about Alejandro. As long as word of my knowledge doesn’t pass on to him, you’ll be fine.”
