The wrong girl 602

    Chapter 602 No Holding Back


    Finished


    The wedding venue had been arranged personally by Evelyn, and naturally, Ste loved every bit of it.


    Once the nning session wrapped up…


    Ste sat in the main hall, sipping water, when her phone buzzed with a new message–a video sent from one of her people.


    She tapped it open for a quick look.


    The second she saw what was on screen–pfft<i>!</i>-she choked and sprayed water all over the floor.


    Abraham walked in just as she was coughing and wiping her mouth.


    He rushed over, grabbing a tissue off the table on his way, his tone a blend of teasing and concern. “What happened? How do you even manage to choke on water?”


    Ste handed him the phone, still catching her breath. “Just… just watch it.”


    “What is it?”


    “Morris almost got beaten to death.”


    <i>Damn</i><i>… </i><i>They </i><i>really </i><i>didn’t </i><i>hold </i><i>back </i><i>at </i><i>all</i>.


    The way Marie sped off from the Dawson estate made it clear–she wasn’t just mad; she was seething.


    Ste had sensed it then–Morris was absolutely screwed.


    And sure enough…


    Marie wasn’t someone who blurred the line between love and hate. The fact that she had once cared about Morris didn’t mean she’d go easy on him now.


    Abraham’s eyes narrowed slightly at the mention of Marie.


    He gave the video a quick nce.


    E


    His expression had already been dark since hearing about what Marie had gone through. But now, after seeing how she handled it, he actually looked a little relieved.


    Seeing her strike back like that, he figured there was nothing more to worry about.

    “Come on. Let’s go eat,” he said.


    “Let’s eat at home. The butler said they’re making all my favorite dishes.”


    Besides, the drive back wasn’t long. When it came to meals, Ste always preferred eating at home.


    Abraham nodded. “Alright. Whatever you want.“”

    He took her hand and led her out the door.

    Half an hourter.


    The two of them arrived home. Marie was already back. After beating the hell out of Morris and his crew, most of her rage had burned off.


    At that moment, she was asking the doctor for some meds. “Yeah, I think the damage is worse than I thought. Hurts like hell.”


    Marie wasn’t the type toin about pain.


    So if she said it hurt, it meant she’d been seriously injured. The bastards fromst night hadn’t held back at


    all.


    Abraham’s face darkened again.


    Of course it did–his own sister had been assaulted. He didn’t care who the guy was. No excuse was going to


    cut it.


    He looked over at Ste, calm and gentle as always. “Go eat, okay? I’ll be there in a bit.”


    “Huh? Aren’t you eating?”


    “I’ll eat in a bit. Go on, be good,” he said softly, coaxing her.


    Ste nodded obediently. “Okay, I’ll go eat first.”


    She was genuinely starving.


    Sure, Abraham had given her plenty of fruit and snacks earlier…


    But once real hunger kicked in, that stuff didn’t cut it. What she needed was a proper meal.


    As Abraham and Ste walked in, Marie’s face twisted with a mix of guilt and frustration.


    Abraham headed upstairs and told her, “Come to the study.”


    “Oh.” Marie mumbled, casting a nce at Ste.


    Ste’s eyes were full of sympathy. What woman didn’t want something real with the man she loved?


    But Morris wasn’t just unworthy–he was trash. And what he’d donest night crossed every line.


    No wonder Marie lost it today.


    She hadn’t just gone after Morris. She’d taken down everyone around him too, just so she could let that fury


    out.

    Inside the study.


    Abraham lit a cigarette, staring at his sister with quiet intensity. “You want me to handle Morris?”


    “No.” Marie cut him off before he could even finish..


    <i>Handle </i><i>it</i><i>? </i><i>No </i><i>way</i>. <i>This kind </i><i>of </i><i>thing</i><i>–</i><i>this </i><i>kind </i><i>of </i><i>pain</i><i>–</i><i>needed </i><i>to </i><i>be </i><i>dealt </i><i>with </i><i>personally </i><i>if </i><i>you </i>ever <i>wanted </i><i>to </i><i>feel </i>right <i>again</i>.


    Just like when Ste had been cornered in Rivermount.


    Even though Abraham had stepped in afterward, Ste had insisted on confronting the Reed and Keene families herself.


    Because it had been too humiliating.


    And if someone else got revenge for you? It never truly felt settled.


    Abraham asked, “So what now?<b>” </b>


    “I’m going to beat the crap out of him,” Marie growled.


    She wasn’t kidding herself. One beating wasn’t enough.


    <i>Hell </i><i>no</i><i>. </i>


    It would take a few more rounds–at least three, maybe five–before she even started to feel better.


    Abraham said nothing.


    Something flickered in his eyes–dark, sharp, and still.


    He took a slow drag from the cigarette already burning between his fingers. “You’re seriously nning to go after him again?”


    Marie snapped back, “It’s not a n. It’s happening.”


    What happened earlier? That was just the warm–up. There was a whole lot more paining–and she nned to deliver it all.


    Listening <i>to </i>Marie grind her teeth in fury, Abraham could only conclude one thing–Morris was done <i>for</i><i>. </i>


    “What about Derrick?”


    Derrick.


    Technically, he was Marie’s husband now.


    And honestly, things had been messy enough already. But when his name came up, Marie’s mind just nked.


    <i>For </i><i>God’s </i><i>sake</i>, what the h<i>*</i><i>ll </i><i>even </i>is this<i>? </i>

    She’d only tied the knot with Derrick yesterday. That same night, everything exploded. <i>Was </i><i>this </i><i>guy </i><i>bad </i><i>luck </i>


    or what?


    Marie muttered, “I’ll deal with Derrickter.”


    F*ck.


    Who had time to deal with Derrick right now? She was still fuming–nowhere near done.


    Marie stormed downstairs with fury written all over her face.


    Ste sat at the dining table, quietly enjoying her meal.


    Just seeing her like that made Marie’s anger start to lift–if only a little.
