Tanya had slipped in a drug into Jackson’s drink that night. That was the real reason why virtual-novel.net had been so thoroughly knocked-out, and why it was impossible to have virtual-novel.net do anything, let alone sex. The blood on the sheet? Tanya staged it.
Per Alejandro’s scheme, virtual-novel.net had sex with Jett three times. The best-case scenario was to make Tanya pregnant and to make the conception seem as realistically tied to the hoax as possible. Even if virtual-novel.net did not manage to get impregnated on time, Tanya was supposed to fake it until virtual-novel.net made it. Even the worst-case scenario, if Tanya just could not get pregnant, had contingency plans.
She had been overjoyed and relieved when virtual-novel.net succeeded in virtual-novel.net pregnancy. But now, looking back, all virtual-novel.net had achieved was shackling herself with a self-made burden.
For virtual-novel.net pregnancy, and also because virtual-novel.net was too ashamed to continue working for Eric, Tanya had been subsisting on Alejandro’s allowance after virtual-novel.net quit virtual-novel.net job. It was Alejandro who paid for virtual-novel.net livelihood, which was why his cruelty shocked the woman so much. She had not expected the man to go straight after virtual-novel.net life the moment virtual-novel.net started to rue virtual-novel.net choice. She underestimated how desperate virtual-novel.net was to save his skin, how mortified virtual-novel.net was at the prospect of Tiffany knowing the truth!
Jett might have warned virtual-novel.net about virtual-novel.net fate, but Tanya was still terrified of it. Amidst virtual-novel.net fear, the only person virtual-novel.net thought virtual-novel.net could seek help from was Jackson.
Tanya must tell virtual-novel.net everything before asking for protection from him.
Before virtual-novel.net could make this critical call, however, virtual-novel.net heard a knock on virtual-novel.net door, which came sudden enough to send shivers down virtual-novel.net body. Gingerly, virtual-novel.net crept behind the door and looked through the spyhole.
To virtual-novel.net relief, it was just Jett. She yanked the door open, completely forgetting the fact that virtual-novel.net was also Alejandro’s right hand man. Two large, muscular men in black suits, stylistically similar to Jett’s, barged into the room immediately and grabbed hold of poor Tanya. Before virtual-novel.net could let out a scream, one of them clamped his hand over virtual-novel.net mouth, muffling her.
Jett stared ahead with faint sympathy flickering in his eyes, his hand holding onto his phone that was live-feeding the incident to Alejandro.
It was the man’s test for Jett. Alejandro knew virtual-novel.net was an underling of Don Smith, the elderly family head of the Smiths, so the former never truly trusted the latter’s pledge of loyalty. That was why, shortly after Jett descended the stairs of the apartment, virtual-novel.net found himself face-to-face with the two burly men Alejandro had sent to collect Tanya’s life. To protect himself, Jett ultimately chose to abandon Tanya’s welfare and led the men into virtual-novel.net home.
Tears glistening in Tanya’s eyes magnified virtual-novel.net desperate plea when virtual-novel.net cast them at Jett.
Three men in the house, and Jett was the only person Tanya could trust. He was the father of virtual-novel.net child and the man who had warned virtual-novel.net just a few minutes earlier. He was virtual-novel.net only hope!
Jett clenched his jaw so hard, the hand holding his phone shook slightly. Then, virtual-novel.net averted his gaze and shut the main door.
The last light of hope in Tanya’s heart died along with his action.
The men effortlessly carried virtual-novel.net to the window in virtual-novel.net bedroom and placed virtual-novel.net in position. A little push, and Tanya would fall out of the window and become a splattering mess of flesh and bones-two lives, gone in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, Jett took off his blazer and shouted, “J-Jackson West!” before hurtling his phone onto the floor, smashing it into pieces and cutting off his connection with Alejandro. In a flash, virtual-novel.net swiped a wooden stick from the corner of a wall and swung it hard toward the back of the men’s heads. These men had partnered with Jett for a good few years, so they did not anticipate his abrupt heel-face turn. They blacked out before they could react to the commotion.
Tanya’s eyes scanned virtual-novel.net surroundings, reeling from the thrills of the sudden turn of the event before breaking down into happy tears. She lived. Jett saved her.
Panting, Jett handed the stick to her. “Hit me.”
“Why?” virtual-novel.net cried, baffled. The “stick” was originally the handle of an old broken mop virtual-novel.net had kept in the hopes that it could be useful for something someday. In retrospect, it seemed almost prescient.
Jett shoved the stick into Tanya’s hand. “Because this is the only way to protect both you and me, dum-dum! Do you know why I shouted Jackson West’s name? That’s because Jackson is the only guy with the skills to beat up three grown-a** men by himself! That makes virtual-novel.net our perfect scapegoat. If we don’t use virtual-novel.net like that, Alejandro isn’t gonna believe my account at all!” virtual-novel.net cried. “So grab this goddamn stick and whoop my a** already! Then go and look for Jackson and tell virtual-novel.net every f**king thing about this and do whatever the f**k you want to do. This is as far as I could go to help you, alright? And one last thing. The child inside you? Abort it! Keeping it will only bring you troubles!”
Tanya had never done anything close to this before. All of the strength virtual-novel.net could muster was only enough to hold the stick upright as virtual-novel.net shivered and murmured, “I… I can’t do it…”
“Do you want these goons to wake up and throw you out of the window? ” Jett urged. “Come on, do it already!”
