 Derrick’s eyes were filled with icy menace. “If you don’t want Dan to die a second time, that document needs to be back in my hands within three days.”

 Marie was stunned. Three days? 

 The danger in Derrick’s voice was unmistakable; Marie understood it clearly–if the document wasn’t returned within that time, the consequences would be severe.

 Still, she snapped, “Why are you telling me this?”

 This was a man about to marry someone else he had nothing to do with her anymore.

 Just thinking about their time in Frapucu sent a sharp ache slicing through her chest.

 “I’m just notifying you. Derrick said coldly..

 It was a notification–nothing more. Anything else, Marie had to figure out on her own.

 But now that she knew, she would definitely inform Dan.

 “Well, this has nothing to do with me. If you don’t believe me, I’ll call him right now.”

 Just as Derrick turned away, Marie gritted her teeth and spoke.

 Derrick acting like this had everything to do with her–it was driving her nuts.

 So right in front of him, she called Dan. Some things just had to be cleared up to put your mind at ease.

 Marie had never been used so unfairly in her life. And now Derrick wore that expression like I was guilty?

 She couldn’t let it go. Unless this was settled today, she wouldn’t be able to breathe easy.

 After two rings, the call connected. “Hello.”

 A man’s voice answered.

 Hearing that familiar voice, a flicker of pain shed through Marie’s eyes.

 This voice had once told her a thousand things, again and again–how had ite to this?

 Marie sniffed, forcing down her emotions. “Did you steal something from Derrick?”

 Dan went silent

 “You shameless scumbag.” Marie spat. “You wanna steal, fine–but leave me out of it. Tell him the truth, now,”

 Ste was stunned.

 That was harsh

 Derrick said nothing. This woman–when she got vicious, she didn’t even spare her true love.

 And she didn’t hold back–at all.

 No wonder Dan didn’t want her anymore. With that tomboy energy, she and Evie were practically a perfect match.

 Marie switched the call to speaker.

 When Dan still didn’t speak, she snapped, “Say something!”

 This scumbag–stealing and then trying to drag her down with him.

 He might live in her heart, but she would never let him drag her into this.

 “Don’t be mad. I’lle find you once this is over. Be good,” Dan said.

 Marie went quiet.

 Derrick and Ste were both stunned.

 Thatst word-“Be good“-hit Marie like a brick. Her fury froze solid in an instant.

 Ste heard that word and her mouth twitched uncontrobly.

 That tone… was that affection?

 Derrick’s face went pitch ck. He red at Marie like he wanted to devour her alive.

 Marie’s brain went ng: she snapped out of it quickly and started screaming into the phone, “Dan, you scumbag!”

 Beep–beep–beep…

 The call had already ended.

 Marie, turned toward Derrick and met his stormy, murderous eyes. In that moment, shepletely fell apart inside.

 She wanted nothing more than to fly to Dan and tear that scumbag to pieces. What the heck was that?

 He didn’t say anything… and yet somehow, he said everything.

 Just like that, without exnation, he dumped the usation of theft squarely on her shoulders.

 Marie swallowed hard. “Hey, listen to me

 She forced her voice to stay calm. Facing Derrick like this, she knew she couldn’t walk away without clearing things up.

 A moment ago, she didn’t GIN to exin.

 But now, with Dan’s sudden line, it looked like the me hadnded squarely on her.

 Derrick’s obsidian–like eyes glinted with cold mockery. He sneered, “Has nothing to do with you?”

 Marie’s heart thumped wildly. “Really, it doesn’t!”

 How the heck could this have anything to do with me? Wait… that indulgent tone Dan had used–was he really talking to me? That damn man, he was clearly setting me up, right in front of Derrick!

 Now Marie really didn’t know how to exin herself.

 She took a deep breath. “Hey, let’s get Star out of here first.”

 She could feel the danger radiating off Derrick; any second now, things could explode.

 Elena, who had stayed silent this whole time, quickly grabbed Ste’s hand at those words.

 “Miss, let’s go,” she urged.

 But Ste didn’t want to leave,

 Marie gave her a look. “Go. Find my brother.”

 At that, Ste understood–the situation was spiraling. It was no longer under control.

 Any other day, Derrick would’vee for Ste, clearly.

 But right now, that missing document was a ticking bomb–big enough to make him forget everything else.

 So as Elena led Ste past him, Derrick didn’t stop them.

 Once they y were gone….

 Marie finally looked at Derrick. “So… does getting the document back even matter anymore?”
