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 drinking last 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 glare.

Drax’s brain froze. “I mean, if you think she won’t come after you with a knife, then yeah, go ahead and stay.”

That shut everyone up.

Sebastian and Ashley glanced 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, You didn’t go easy on her at all, did you?

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 little movement.

Is this a hangover?

No… something wasn’t right.

She shifted–and froze.

Chapter 588 Blood on the Sheets

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 blanket 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 blank.

What the hell? What the actual hell?!

She looked like she’d been mauled.

Had someone taken advantage of her while she was out cold?

This is Falvaria, for God’s sake! Who’s got a death wish big enough to do something like this?!

Back at Abraham’s place-

He had just coaxed Stella into eating and left the room. She rolled over, planning to go right back to sleep.

But her phone started vibrating. She fumbled for it. “Hello?”

“Stella, it’s me.”

Marie’s voice came through–laced with a kind of fury and panic Stella had never heard before.

That tone made Stella’s eyes snap open. “What’s wrong?”

“I–ugh–I can’t even explain right now. I’m gonna kill that bastard.”

Stella tensed. “Who?”

“I don’t know who!”

“What?”

Marie’s brain was a mess. Her whole chest ached with fury.

And Stella, barely understanding a thing, could only sit there frozen in confusion.

Then Marie dropped the bomb.

“I think I was assaulted.”

Stella stopped breathing.
