Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1860

Tiffany was roused from her slumber by the commotion. “Mm? News of Ari? Oh, uh, wait! I’m—yawn—coming with, um, you...?”

Jackson took one glance at her eyelids, which refused to open, and tucked her back under the sheet. “It’s all right, honey. Go back to bed,” he cooed. “I can go there alone; I’m only heading to Mark’s place, anyway. But you, sweetheart? You better get enough sleep. Remember, we’ve got our brats to take care of during the day. Better not worry yourself dead over Arianne, okay?”

Without further ado, Jackson rushed to the Tremont Tower after the call. Turned out, a short drive was enough to make a man perk up and feel refreshed.

“Is Mateo really, well... not-dead?” he asked straight off the bat.

Mark passed the earring to him. “An anonymous sender delivered this to our doorstep today. It was one half of the pair Arianne was wearing on the day she went missing. I bought it for her, so I distinctly remember that there was no strange four-letter word on it during purchase. But now? The one delivered to me had an extra ‘M-T-E-O’ engraved on it. In addition to that, there was a note attached. Come, over here.”

Jackson took the jewelry from him and peered at it through Mark’s magnifying glass, and sure enough, he found the inscription of ‘MTEO’. After reading the note, he believed Mark’s conjecture. “Man... You don’t think this Mateo’s been planning this sh*t since the beginning, do you? Dude’s f**king insane—he’s so gung-ho about stealing Arianne for himself that he threw everything of his current life away and played frickin’ possum! He’s the only heir to the Rodriguez family, man! Man dooms himself from being with his family in the open on top of giving up this massive fortune that was supposed to be his birthright! The f**k is wrong with him? Christ!
