Jane had begun communicating with Jason more frequently. She wanted to convince herself that she was genuinely ready to give him another chance, but deep inside, she knew her decision was complicated.She had failed to win Donald back.Alexander had also begun distancing himself from her.And now Jason was the one person still willing to stand beside her.One evening, Jason arrived at Jane's residence with a small gift."I thought you might like this," he said.Jane accepted it and smiled."Thank you."Jason studied her."You seem distracted.""I've had a lot on my mind.""Is it Alexander?"Jane looked away.Jason immediately understood."You don't have to worry about him."Jane frowned."What do you mean?""I know you were interested in him."Jane remained silent.Jason continued."But he doesn't matter anymore.""How do you know?""Because I know people."Jane looked at him suspiciously.Jason smiled."Let's focus on us."Jane nodded slowly."Perhaps you're right."Jason took her ha

Jason arrived at Jane's apartment later that evening, far more excited than he wanted to show.The moment Jane opened the door, he smiled."Jane."She stepped aside."Come in."Jason entered and looked at her carefully."Is everything alright?"Jane nodded."I've been thinking.""About us?""Yes."Jason's smile widened."I knew you would eventually realize that we belong together."Jane didn't respond immediately.She walked toward the sitting room and took her seat.Jason sat opposite her."I want to be honest with you," Jane said."I'm listening.""I've made many mistakes."Jason nodded."Everyone makes mistakes.""I rejected you.""You did.""I embarrassed you in front of my family."Jason's expression briefly tightened."You did.""I'm sorry."Jason smiled."I've already forgiven you."Jane looked at him."Then perhaps we can start again."Jason leaned forward."Are you saying you'll marry me?"Jane hesitated."I'm saying that I'm willing to give us another chance."Jason's heart

The next morning, Jane woke up earlier than usual.She had barely slept.Alexander's last message continued to occupy her mind."There are some things I need you to explain."She knew exactly what that meant.Alexander was investigating her.For a few minutes, she remained seated on the edge of her bed, staring at her phone.She had two choices.She could continue denying everything.Or she could admit a portion of the truth and hope Alexander would forgive her.Jane quickly rejected the second option."No.""If I admit anything, I'll lose him."She stood and walked toward the mirror."I've survived worse than this."She began preparing for the meeting.Across town, Alexander sat in his study reading the reports his investigators had compiled.The information was disturbing.Some of the evidence connected Jane to the people who had previously attempted to harm Ivy.Other information showed that Jane had been making inquiries about Ivy's movements before the poisoning incident.Alexand

The following afternoon, Jane arrived at the restaurant several minutes early.She had spent most of the previous night thinking about the meeting.She knew Alexander had spoken with Donald.She also knew that if Alexander believed everything Donald had told him, her chances of building a relationship with him would disappear.So she had decided on one thing.She would not allow herself to panic.She would remain calm, confident, and convincing.When Alexander eventually walked into the restaurant, Jane immediately stood."Alexander."He nodded."Jane."They exchanged brief greetings before sitting opposite each other.For several moments, neither spoke.A waiter approached, but Alexander politely asked for a few minutes before ordering.Jane studied his face.He looked different from the man she had met previously.There was warmth in his expression, but also caution."You wanted to explain yourself," Alexander finally said.Jane nodded."Yes.""I know Donald has spoken to you.""He

Alexander remained by the window long after Donald had left. His mind was filled with questions. He picked up his phone and stared at Jane's name. For several seconds, he considered calling her immediately. But he stopped himself. "No." "I need to hear her side first." He wasn't prepared to condemn someone solely because of what he had heard, especially someone he had only recently met. But neither was he willing to ignore his brother's warning. Alexander sat down and began reviewing the information Donald had given him. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. There had been something unusual about Jane from the beginning. She had spoken about Donald almost immediately. She had described him as someone from her past who had disappointed her. Yet she had never mentioned that Donald was now her brother's wife’s husband. She had also presented herself as someone whose family had suffered financial difficulties, while carefully avoiding details about
