Derrick drew on his cigar again, the pistol in his other hand still spinning lazily between his fingers.
“Made up your mind?”
Dan closed his eyes, forcing his pounding chest to steady. With a cold snort, he muttered, “Go fetch her
yourself.”
Then he strode off.
With Diana’s sudden disappearance, everything was spiraling out of control. He had no tto worry about
Marie anymore.
After all, Derrick had cfor her-she wouldn't be in danger.
But the thought left his chest tight and heavy. I'm still not strong enough...
On the wall, Marie crossed her arms, watching him go. “Tch. Hypocritical bastard.”
Sophia fell silent too.
And she realized, more than ever, that Dan was not Marie's man.
Years ago he had faked his death without hesitation. She didn’t believe for a second that he hadn’t known how
close Marie was to breaking back then. He hadn't shown himself once.
And now-walking away again without a fight.
If a man truly loved a woman, nothing-not even life itself-would make him abandon her so easily.
Dan left.
Derrick flicked away his cigar. “Go. Bring my wife out.”
He wouldn't step foot into Dan's filthy estate.
Sebastian immediately led men toward the castle.
“Don’t bother,” Marie called suddenly.

There she sat, arins crossed, straddling the top.

When had she gotten up there?
“You could've cout? Then why sit there gawking like it's a show?”
Derrick looked up at her too, his lips curving. “Enjoying the view?”
Marie remained silent.
“The blindness should be cured now, right? Dan ditched you again.”
God, could he shut up?
If he didn’t know how to talk, better to stay silent.
“Like | need him to ditch me? He's nothing,” Marie snapped.
Though unwilling to admit it, deep down she knew—Dan had abandoned her.
“Wantto carry you down?” Derrick asked.
“No.”
With a huff, Marie leapt from the wall. The height was nothing for her.
Except-

Her foot landed on debris from the explosions. A shard bit into her sole, sending her slipping.
She tumbled down and landed hard on her backside.
Already fuming, she nearly saw red.
“The richest bastard in Noctarth and he can’t even fix the damn road outside his gate.”
Sebastian's first instinct was to rush forward, but one sharp look from Derrick froze him in place.
He quickly stepped aside. “You go.”
Derrick gave a cold snort and moved just as Sophia helped Marie up.
“It was debris from the blasts,” Sophia whispered at her car.
Hmph. Still Dan’s fault.
Derrick reached her, seizing her wrist and yanking her into his chest.

She pushed weakly at him. “Letgo.”
Her resistance was soft, almost fragile.
Derrick had grown used to her fiery temper, her brash defiance.
Now, with her feeble struggling, it almost felt like... coyness.
“What's this? Tired of playing the tough girl? Switching to delicate and shy?”
“You-"
“Better stay yourself. That whole ‘hard-to-get act’ doesn’t suit you.”
Hard-to-get?
What the hell-
“You think I'm putting on sact for you?” Marie exploded.
She'd seen enough rich girls play those games over the years to make her sick.
No way in hell she'd be one of them.
“Oh? Then why are you rubbing up againstright now?” Derrick countered.
Rubbing...?
