Chapter 594 Afraid to Die? We Are
Derrick’s chest ached with frustration. “You think I’m afraid to die?<b>” </b>
Sebastian, Ashley, and Drax answered in unison, “We are.”
Dead serious. The three of them didn’t even hesitate.
Sebastian was genuinely terrified. “This isn’t a joke, man. You heard the call–she brought a whole crew to go after Dan.”
If Marie found out a bunch of people had tampered with evidence in what she believed was a sexual assault case, there’s no doubt–she wouldn’t spare a single one of them.
Meanwhile, as Marie and Derrick’s situation spiraled into chaos….
At Victor’s vi-
Tessa stirred groggily, vaguely hearing Ss’s voice from outside: “How the hell did your stitchese apart this badly?”
Lewis scoffed, “It’s gotta be that Ms. Tessa. I bet after we left, she went at you again. I swear, she’s a spy from Ashen Pact. Probably trying to take you out–just look at that wound.”
The more he talked, the more fired up he got.
Ss snapped, “Shut up.”
Lewis argued, “I’m just speaking facts. But seriously, it’s weird–if she really wanted to kill you, why not just do it at night while you’re sleeping? Why y these sneaky games?”
<i>Sneaky </i><i>games</i><i>, </i>huh<i>? </i>
Tessa had hated that kind of two–faced crap back in Rivermount–especially when Lilian used it against Ste.
But now, being in Victor’s orbit… it almost felt like she’d turned into that kind of woman herself.
God <i>knows </i><i>I’m </i>not.
Ss deadpanned, “Do you really think anyone could kill Big Brother while he’s asleep?”
Lewis paused. “Good point. So she’s just trying to wear him down little by little?”
He waspletely convinced now–Tessa had been using low–level tactics to slowly hurt Victor, all as part of some long con to end him.
Ss was speechless. He genuinely didn’t know what to say.
“Just get lost,” he finally muttered, afraid Lewis would eventually piss Victor off so badly he’d get himself
killed.

Chapter 594 Afraid to Die? We Are
Inside the room, Tessa whimpered, “Ugh…‘
It hurts. <i>It </i><i>really </i><i>hurts</i><i>. </i>
Just shifting a little made her legs scream in agony. Her whole body felt like it’d been hit by a truck.
Outside-
Victor heard the noise from inside and nced toward Ss, who was still tending his bandages.
Finished
Ss heard it too. He clipped thest piece of tape, muttered a quick “All done,” and started cleaning up.
Compared to Lewis, he knew when to make himself scarce.
He rushed toward the door and made up an excuse. “Oh crap, I just remembered something–gotta go!”
Just as he reached the door, Victor spoke coldly, “Go tear Lewis’s damn mouth off.”
Ss stiffened.
<i>Sorry</i><i>, </i>Lewis. <i>You </i><i>brought </i><i>this </i><i>on </i><i>yourself</i><i>. </i>
Even Abraham had no patience for him–and now he’d finally pissed off Victor, too.
Ss slipped out.
Victor got up and walked to the bedroom door. He pushed it open and turned on the light… only to see Tessa’s big, tear–filled eyes staring back at him.
She froze for a second, then choked out a sob. “It really hurts…”
She meant it. Last night had been her first time, and Victor… well, he’dpletely lost control.
There was no “treat her gently” in his vocabry.
Seeing her like that, Victor stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling her into his arms.
“Ahh-!”
The sudden movement yanked at every sore part of her body. Tessa cried out in pain, tears falling all over again.
<i>So </i><i>damn </i><i>rough</i>….
Victor paused, his brow furrowing. “It hurts that bad?”
He’d lived his life on the edge, injury after injury–it was nothing new to him. A bit of soreness? Not even worth mentioning.
But the cold edge in his voice only made her feel more wronged. She sniffled and kept silent, her tears falling harder now.

Seeing her cry like that stirred something in his chest–something unfamiliar, something strange.
And yet, it moved him enough that he reached out and brushed the tears from her cheeks with a rough fingertip.
“It really hurts that much?<b>” </b>
His tone softened–just a little.
The ice from before had melted away, at least for the moment.
Tessa nodded, sniffling. “Yeah… it hurts a lot.”
Even the slightest movement made her legs throb in pain.
She was already petite. Next to Ste, she was half a head shorter. Now curled up in Victor’s strong arms, she looked even smaller–like a kid.
Her damp hair clung to her face in messy strands.
Victor reached out and tucked them behind her ear.
“Girls always hurt the first time,” he murmured. “It won’t hurt after this.”
