Even in Darkness She Chose to Rise (Tatiana and Jasper) novel Chapter 266

**Chapter 266: The Whole Truth**

“Do you really have to bring this up right now?” Tatiana’s voice was laced with a mixture of annoyance and disbelief, her heart racing.

“No, Tatiana. Just listen to me,” Jasper replied, his tone steady, but the weight of his words hung heavy in the air. He paused, drawing in a deep breath as if bracing himself for the impact of what he was about to reveal. “Hubert is your child.”

In that moment, the world around her seemed to blur, the ringing in her ears drowning out everything else.

Had she misheard him?

A grotesque smile twisted her numb features, a reflex born of shock. “Jasper, that’s not funny. Stop kidding around, okay?”

“I’m not lying,” he insisted, his gaze unwavering. “Hubert and Ann are twins, fraternal twins. You gave birth to two children that day. Bianca took one of them and passed him off as her own.”

“That’s impossible! She couldn’t have taken—”

Her voice faltered, the words choking in her throat as the reality of his statement crashed over her like a tidal wave.

A sudden flash of memory ignited in her mind, recalling Chandler’s hesitant expressions, the way he had danced around the truth, and all the details he had left unsaid.

If…

If this was true, then…

She couldn’t even dare to finish that thought, fear gripping her heart.

“You… how do you know this?” she managed to ask, her voice trembling.

“The hypnosis wore off,” Jasper explained, his expression grave.

“What?”

“Bianca has a friend named Baron. He’s skilled in unorthodox methods. That day, I fell for it. I was hypnotized. I was made to believe that the person I was with that night was her, and that her child was mine.”

The name Baron sent a shiver down Tatiana’s spine, dredging up a memory from the depths of her mind. That vile pervert!

He was connected to Bianca?

“Tatiana, I’m so sorry I put you through all this,” Jasper said, his voice heavy with regret.

If it hadn’t been for that damned hypnosis…

If everything had been clear from that night…

If he had known it was her…

Perhaps their lives would have taken a different path altogether.

He spoke an earth-shattering truth in a calm voice: “Hubert and Ann are our children.”

Tatiana fell into a profound silence, the weight of his words settling heavily upon her like a thick fog.

He didn’t rush her, allowing her the space to process this monumental revelation. He remembered the day he had first uncovered the truth—how he had locked himself away in his study, grappling with the reality of it all.

After what felt like an eternity, she finally broke the silence. “Please leave. I need to think about this alone.”

This time, he respected her wishes. Rising from his seat, he cast her a lingering, deep look. “Okay. Get some rest. If you need anything, just call me.”

She remained silent, lost in her thoughts as he stepped out of the room.

Once alone, the silence enveloped her, a heavy blanket that pressed down on her chest. She sank onto the sofa, her mind a chaotic whirlwind of confusion and disbelief.

Desperately, she began to force herself to recall every single interaction she’d had with Hubert.
