When Marie showed no intention of staying, Dan’s tone turned harsher. “This isn’t up to you.”
“Oh? And who says
it’s
up to you?”
The hospital room door swung open. Abraham stood at the entrance, radiating a dangerous
pressure.
Behind him were Dan’s men, the same ones who’d gotten into a fight at the marriage office and dragged Marie away by force.
Those who could go toe–to–toe with Derrick were now t on the floor, pinned down under Abraham’s foot.
Abraham nced at Dan with a single cold look before his eyes shifted to Marie at the bedside.
“Come here.”
Just two words<b>–</b>stern,manding, and absolute.

Marie instinctively stood up and hurried to his side. Now this was what a real brother looked like.
Derrick? Please. That guy had actually gotten beaten.
But her brother? No one could touch him. These days, there wasn’t a soul in all of Falvaria who wouldn’t
step aside at the sight of Abraham.
Marie moved quickly behind him.
Dan’s
gaze narrowed.
Before he could speak, Abraham’s voice sliced through the air. “That marriage alliance with the Mint family… I’m sure it matters to you, doesn’t it?”
His tone was cold, but there was a mocking edge beneath it.
Dan’s expression turned darker.
Abraham said, “If you don’t want to lose everything, stay away from Marie.”
With that warning, he turned and led Marie out the door, not even sparing another nce.
His retreating figure gave off a suffocating kind of power.
Dan, still seated on the bed, clenched his fists. His eyes glinted with restrained fury.
They were gone.
Cynn scrambled into the room, clothes in disarray. “Boss, Abraham came out of nowhere, we didn’t-”
“Enough.”
Dan’s voice cut him off, sharp as ice.
Seeing his top fighter crushed in under two moves only made his aura colder.
No wonder Abraham’s men had such a reputation. Their strength was no joke.
Looking pale, Cynn hesitated, then said, “Boss… you think the pushback we’ve been gettingtely has something to do with him?”
Falvaria’s Abraham…
The name alone sent a chill down most spines. Andtely, everything they’d tried had been blocked at every turn.

Now it <b>was </b>starting to make sense. Abraham had been tightening the noose–for his sister.
Dan muttered, “For his sister?<b>” </b>
Cynn nodded. “It’s said Abraham is extremely protective. And five years ago, you and Ms. Marie…”
He trailed off.
Back then, he wasn’t part of Dan’s inner circle, so he had no idea what had
gone down.
But the others who were around had said there was definitely something between Dan and Marie.
Then something happened. Dan lost all
ory of that time.
And the old man had ordered that no one mention Falvaria in Dan’s presence again. After that, things between Dan and the Dawson family went downhill–fast.
“Abraham isn’t the only one,” Cynn added. “Rumor is Evelyn dotes on her daughters too. People say she had a hand in toppling the Reed family in Rivermount.”
A brother obsessed with his sister. A mother obsessed with her daughters.
It wasn’t just Abraham pulling strings to shut them down–Lorette might’ve been involved
too.
In the car.

On the other end, Ste sounded delighted. She told him she’d finally made it grandparents‘ approval.
Abraham listened patiently until she finished, then replied with gentle warmth, “They’ve always loved you. They wouldn’t make things hard.”
To Abraham, Ste was the kind of girl who stayed soft and sweet around family.

In fact, he always thought the grandparents loved her even more than they loved Marie.
Ste mumbled, “But Grandpa didn’t seem to like the gift I brought… I think I picked the wrong thing again.”

She was grumbling, not actually upset.
Abraham gave a small chuckle. “Nothing pleases him.”
Honestly, was there <i>anyone </i>Grandpa hadn’t been picky with?
Ste asked, “What about Marie? Did you find her yet? When are youing back?”
“You miss me already?”
“Hmph. Who’d miss you?”
“So I should just stay out longer? Let you hang out with Grandma by yourself?”
“No way!”
Ste blurted it out.

No way. The moment she got there, Grandma started trying to teach her all kinds of crafts. She didn’t know how to do any of it, and she was definitely going to mess it up and get scolded.
Hearing that unfiltered “No way,” Abraham could easily imagine her panicked little face, even through the phone.
He chuckled. “Didn’t you just say you didn’t miss me?”
“Fine, I miss you. A lot. Happy now?”
This man was the worst. Always made her

Next to Abraham, Marie listened to their conversation and felt like her ears were about to rot from how sweet it all was.
