Maybe one person could be mistaken….

But the three of them had taken Derrick to this room together–how could they all be wrong about whether anyone else was here?
They knew exactly what kind of marriage Derrick and Marie had. Before drinkingst night, Derrick had made it crystal clear.
If they’d seen Marie in the room, no way would they have just dumped Derrick inside like that.
Drax let out a sharp breath. “Look, I think you better run now.”
Everyone stared at him, twitching at the corners of their mouths.
Run? From his own wife? What kind of logic was that?
Derrick shot Drax a cold re.

Drax’s brain froze. “I mean, if you think she won’te after you with a knife, then yeah, go ahead and stay.”
That shut everyone up.
Sebastian and Ashley nced at each other, then turned to Derrick again.
Sebastian muttered, “Honestly, I think Drax has a point.”
Marie had been hellbent on revenge ever since what happened three years ago. Even if they were legally married now, that didn’t change the past–or the fact that things between Marie and Dan were still murky.
And now Derrick had… done this?

Once she woke up, Marie was absolutely going to hunt him down, scissors in hand.
Derrick’s face turned a dark shade of green.

Just as they were about to say more, they heard movement from inside the bedroom–a woman’s sharp gasp of pain.
Sebastian twitched, side–eyeing Derrick like, <i>You didn’t </i><i>go </i><i>easy </i><i>on </i><i>her </i><i>at </i><i>all</i><i>, </i><i>did </i><i>you</i>?
Poor woman… she was already a walking time bomb, and now this?
Inside the room-
Marie was aching all over. It felt like she’d been run over by a truck.
She clenched her teeth through the pain, wincing with every

Is this a <i>hangover</i><i>? </i>
<i>No</i><i>… </i>something <i>wasn’t </i><i>right</i><i>. </i>
She shifted–and froze.
Her entire body stiffened as she realized… she wasn’t wearing anything.
Her eyes flew open.
She sat up with a start and yanked the nket off.
“What the-” she hissed.
There was blood. A lot of it.
She stared between her legs, then at the rumpled sheets and bruises on her body.
Her mind went nk.
<i>What </i>the hell? <i>What </i><i>the </i><i>actual </i><i>hell</i><i>?! </i>
???
She looked like she’d been mauled.
Had someone taken advantage of her while she was out cold?

Back at Abraham’s ce-
He had just coaxed Ste into eating and left the room. She rolled over, nning to go right back to sleep.
But her phone started vibrating. She fumbled for it. “Hello?”
“Ste, it’s me.”
Marie’s voice came throughced with a kind of fury and panic Ste had never heard before.
That tone made Ste’s eyes snap open. “What’s wrong?”
“I–ugh–I can’t even exin right now. I’m gonna kill that bastard.”
Ste tensed. “Who?”
“I don’t know who!”
“…What?”
Marie’s brain was a mess. Her whole chest ached with fury.

And Ste, barely understanding a thing, could only sit there frozen in confusion.
Then Marie dropped the bomb.
“I think I was assaulted.”
Ste stopped breathing.

Thirty minutester-
Ste had the driver bring her straight to Spirit Pub.
Marie was already in the surveince room, screaming at the staff.
“I’m sorry? You’re telling me the cameras were broken? And they just happened to be brokenst night?! Are you people joking right now?”
The hotel manager tried to stay calm. “Apologies, ma’am. The system’s been down for three days. The security department hasn’t finished repairs.”
“Then who was in my roomst night?!”
“You were the only registered guest. Room service brought you up with your friend. That’s all.”
“I’m telling you there was a man in there! Are you seriously trying to dodge responsibility now? You think I won’t blow this whole damn ce up?!”
Marie was livid–ready to tear the ce apart.
“I was assaulted. You think I don’t know what happened to me?!”
They kept insisting no one else was there.
That was thest straw.
Marie lost it. Completely.
