Even in Darkness She Chose to Rise (Tatiana and Jasper) novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519 The Thief

Sandra went to find someone in management.

Tammy pulled out her phone and called her husband. Naturally, it went straight to voicemail.

5 Pearls

When the fighters had a match, their phones were locked up. Usually, you couldn’t get a hold of them. But he wasn’t in the arena, and he wasn’t answering.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Sandra came back looking confused. “I talked to the office. Your guy isn’t on the list today. They said he doesn’t even have a fight scheduled.”

Tammy clenched her fists.

He lied to me.

Where the hell is he?

Norman was in a quiet tea house meeting someone.

This was a man he actually had to be careful with. James had warned him that the entire Cole family couldn’t afford to piss this guy off right now.

The upside was that the guy, Jasper, was actually an old friend.

“This is top–shelf Earl Grey. Give it a try.”

Jasper sat there looking expensive and relaxed. Norman sat opposite him, looking sharp and restless. They both stood out just by sitting there.

“Mr. Jasper.”

Jasper laughed. “It’s been a while since you called me that.”

Norman felt weird. Even without his memories, he felt like he could trust Jasper. He dropped the act. “Jasper.”

“You really lost your memory?”

“You want to check my medical records?”

“See a doctor.”

“I did. Didn’t work. They said I just have to wait for something to trigger it.”

“So you might never remember?”

“Yeah. It’s possible.”

Jasper thought for a minute. “Are you going back to the Cole family?”

“Not yet.”

“Why?”

Norman rubbed his nose and stayed quiet.

Jasper didn’t hold back. “You don’t want Tammy coming back, do you?”

Norman looked down.

I stay silent. That’s an answer in itself.

When James told me who I was, I started digging into Flowie’s past. I used my leverage to find out where she came

from.

Her real name is Alita. She’s from some random island and showed up with Tatiana. Then she changed her name to Tammy and did elite Marine training.

My wife is a total badass.

I don’t want to tell her the truth yet. Not after what else I found.

‘Is it because she was into Lucas?”

Jasper called him out on his bullshit..

Norman went stiff. “That’s old news. Why are you bringing that up?”

‘You aren’t worried she’ll hate you when she remembers?”

I’m terrified of it.

I’m basically lying to her by omission. But I’d rather deal with that than lose her right now.

I’m not the old Norman. I don’t want a hundred women. I just want her.

! know she’ll love me. Even if she gets her memory back, she’ll choose me. I just need more time to make this solid.

Jasper saw right through him. “You’re playing a dangerous game. Don’t be surprised when it blows up in your face.”

‘Stay out of it.”

‘I can’t stop you, but she can.”

A woman walked toward them.

Tatiana was in a white dress, her black hair over her shoulders. Jasper’s expression softened instantly. “Tatiana, you made it.”

Chapter 510 The Thief

‘Where’s Tammy?”

Tatiana didn’t do small talk. She stared Norman down.

My heart sinks. I can’t even look her in the eye.

1 feel guilty as hell. Tatiana is basically Tammy’s guardian.

I feel like a son–in–law meeting a mother–in–law who wants to kill me,

Tatiana looked around. When she didn’t see Tammy, she knew. She walked up and grabbed Norman by the collar, yanking him up.

The Cole family guards started to move, but the Jackson bodyguards were already on them. The room turned into a powder keg.

Tatiana didn’t care. She held his collar and spoke into his face. “Where is she? Why isn’t she here?

Norman tried to keep his cool. “It’s not time yet. She’s safe, I promise. I’ll bring her back later.

Tatiana laughed. “You’ll bring her? Who do you think you are? You’re just a pathetic thief.

Norman couldn’t even argue.

She’s right. I’m a thief. I’m trying to keep a treasure that isn’t mine.

“She has amnesia. I’m the one she trusts. It won’t be much longer.”

‘No, Norman. You’ve got it wrong. She doesn’t trust you. You’ve just conned her with a bunch of lies. Since you won’t bring her to me, I’ll go find her myself.”
