Chapter 61: Tell me everything

Fallon didn't want to admit it but she was nervous, it's the first time that she was going to receive a woman in her home it was the first time that anyone would come to her house! Not even Lauren Jauregui, at the height of all her obsession, had set foot in this apartment.

She knew she was a somewhat complicated person, Fallon likes to project a strong and striking image because it makes people uncomfortable, giving her an opening to get what she wants. But deep down, Fallon was always afraid of being rejected, so maybe she has this habit of obsessing over people.

With Hailee, however, she is different, her touch is different, and Fallon is being honest with her feelings. It was the first time that Fallon was seeing her future with someone so she called the deputy to her home, even if it made her nervous.

And if the change in her personal life was not enough, there was still the investigation into the death of Chris Jauregui, of course she'd talked to Lauren's legal time and she would solve it - she couldn't let her get involved - but deep down, she was also nervous for Lauren. Although she was over her romantically, she still had a lot of regard for her and her daughters, she wouldn't let anything bad happen to the CEO.

The sound of the bell roused her from her daydreams and with one last breath, she put on her persona who was not afraid, and opened the door.

The brunette, although beautiful, was not dressed for a date, she was wearing the same clothes she was at work and that was the first clue that something was wrong.

"Hailee" Opened the door "Come in"

"Thank you" She hesitated "Elizabeth"

Fallon let the door close on its own. The redhead looked towards the woman in confusion, she wasn't about to deny that this was the name that she'd been registered, but she didn't like being called that, it made memories of her father come up in her mind.

"Who told you?" Fallon started to arm herself to defend herself "Was it Selena?"

"Selena know that?" She asked, perplexed.

"We have the same alma mater" Fallon explained "Went to the same classes, she knew my birth name, yes"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it was not important"

"your name isn't important?" Hailee was starting to lose her composure and Fallon watched as the brunette was volatile in her feelings "Isn't murder important too?"

"What?" Fallon crossed her arms "Murder?"

"Chris Jauregui" Hailee challenged, her eyes sparkled with anger and Fallon hesitated. "Are you going to tell me you had nothing to do with it?"

"Who told you that?" How did it get to her ears? Had the investigation reached Hailee? They were closer to...

"It doesn't matter who told me!!" Hailee exclaimed "It matters that you ARE involved in this"

Fallon, always so quick in her defenses, could not defend herself in front of the woman she was starting to fall for.

"Is that what you think of me?" Fallon knew it was, all along, she knew that Hailee was just waiting for a small reason to prove her theory that Fallon was worthless. "After all this time"

"Less than two months?" Hailee laughed and Fallon fell silent "I don't know you, I should have listened to those who did"

"If that's what you think" Fallon closed herself off, she wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction of seeing her beg.

"If you didn't kill Chris Jauregui, look me in the eye and tell me who did it then" Fallon didn't know if Hailee was asking or begging.

Fallon hesitated.
She even opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Fallon Carrington was not a traitor but her silence spoke for itself.
