Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1727

Tiffany received Melanie’s text.

She instantly sat up from her bed, ignoring the ensuing protests of pain all over her body. “That dumbass Alejandro is serious about divorcing Melanie! For real! What the f—?!”

Jackson, who was sitting by her bedside, shoved a freshly-peeled apple into Tiffany’s hand. “The hell do you care about someone else’s marriage? What, your body’s suddenly not hurting anymore?”

She frowned, her eyebrows knitting tightly. “No, no, it’s just that… Alejandro must have divorced her because he thought Melanie was the one who pushed me, b-but it wasn’t her at all! Melanie’s a sweetheart through and through; for Christ’s sake, we are frickin’ besties! Oh God, oh my God… What about Millie, huh? Poor girl is still so young…”

Jackson cocked an eyebrow. “Seriously? You’re seriously worrying about some other guy’s marriage right in my face—aren’t you at least worried that I might be jealous? Babe, Alejandro didn’t ask for your input before he decided to divorce Melanie. It means this divorce between them is only a matter of time. It means it’s got zero connection to you,” he explained. “Honestly, it had always been nothing more than a political marriage, so don’t overthink it, okay? It ain’t that complicated.”

Tiffany could not calm herself down at all. “But Melanie must have told Alejandro she was the one who pushed me. I know she did! How else can you explain this? They were happy and good and everything just a while ago! Like even if she’s trying to protect her daughter, she wouldn’t have chosen divorce!”

Jackson thought about it for a minute. “Hey, babe, think about it. What’s the point of being in a loveless marriage held together only by the existence of the couple’s offspring, huh? Back then, Alejandro had to bend to Don’s will back when he was still alive, but the old man’s gone to see the Maker. Who’s there to rein that boar now? Who’s stopping him from a divorce?—Wait a second. If you fell off the stairs by yourself by accident, then why did Melanie feel compelled to tell Alejandro she pushed you?”

“After falling down the flight, I was sorta knocked out-cold, but there was this one teensy frame of time when I’m actually still semi-conscious. I’m sure of what I heard, Jackson. Melanie was the one who insisted on crying out for help to save me. I’m tellin’ ya, she didn’t know jack about her brother’s plan, because her brother just did it suddenly. Think about it, honey—if she really wanted to kill me, she would have listened to her brother and waited until I was barely alive to finally call for help, ‘cause you know if I died, there would be virtually no one who knew how it happened. She could have lived the rest of her life without ever getting caught. She knew what helping me could mean to her life and she still didn’t let it stop her. She didn’t hurt me—she f**king saved me.”

Jackson’s spleen skyrocketed from zero to a hundred in a snap. “God-f**king-dammit, Tiffany! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why was this kept a secret?!”

Nikolai must be on his way back to Ayashe by now. Had Jackson known it was him, he would have made sure that bastard could not leave the Capital at all!
