Tessa went quiet at that tone, casual and indifferent.

So calm, so unaffected–like what had happened between them was completely ordinary to Victor.

Tessa absolutely refused to accept that.

Eventually, Victor ran out of patience and simply yanked her pants down.

The moment he moved, Tessa didn’t even have time to resist.

In that instant, she felt completely numb.

She buried her face into the blankets in resignation. “Our deal, wasn’t it supposed to be just once?”

Her voice trembled, full of regret.

Victor replied, “Can’t really remember.”

Tessa was stunned.

He must remember, right? The deal was that he’d help her see her mother, yet in the end, her mom never even showed up.

Just thinking about it made her feel like she’d gotten the worst end of the bargain.

After learning the truth about her identity, Tessa had finally stood tall on her own.

When Stella found out, she was genuinely happy for her.

That night, Abraham told Stella that Tessa had spent the entire afternoon practicing with a gun.

Stella was stunned. “She’s training with a gun? She dares to?”

“Victor said so,” Abraham replied.

Stella went silent.

She’d already been shocked earlier that morning when Tessa had spoken on the phone with such intensity about those twins.

Now, hearing that she was even training with firearms…

Stella’s tone softened with pride. “She’s a lot stronger than I thought.”

Abraham nodded. “Mm.”

Stella asked, “And Victor’s okay witly her training like that?”

Victor might’ve seemed cold most of the time, but when it came to women, he could be surprisingly gentle.

Back when Stella had been kidnapped, Marie had wanted Victor to be in charge of her training.

But not long into it, she’d complained about her hands hurting, and Victor had shut the whole thing down; he’d said Abraham would protect her anyway.

“Maybe we should have my sister’s people train her instead,” Stella suggested after thinking for a moment. Yes, Marie’s people would be better.

They didn’t hold back. She remembered a few days when Marie wasn’t around–those were some of the most brutal sessions she’d ever endured.

She’d even tried to use Abraham as an excuse to stop, but it hadn’t worked at all.

It was that tough training that had prepared her to handle anything over the past three years.

Abraham said simply, “Up to you.”

Then he paused for a second before adding, “Might be good to let your sister train her. Her next opponent is going to be Dan.”

“What?”

That name changed the tone immediately. Dan, that bastard. After everything he’d done to my sister, now this?

Abraham said, “Victor’s found some clues. The one pulling the strings in the Ashen Pact–it’s likely Dan.”

No wonder everything had been so secretive all these years.

On the surface, he was just the lord of Frapucu, but in the shadows… he was tied to the Ashen Pact?

Not that anyone could blame them for not suspecting sooner. After all, the surname Morris was well–known in Falvaria.

HearShame in that context, Stella couldn’t help muttering to herself, What a damn curse.

“Alright, I’ll call my sister.”

This was about Tessa, and Stella genuinely cared.

She understood that Tessa’s entering this new stage meant her plans were only going to grow more complicated.

And because of that, Stella felt even more compelled to help her.

Back in Rivermount, Tessa had helped her so much.

And if Dan really was the one leading the Ashen Pact… this whole mess could very well be tied to Marie too. This is a nightmare…

Tessa, meanwhile, was absolutely miserable as Victor applied the medicine.

She lay facedown in the blankets; by the time Victor finished and left the room, he didn’t say a single word.

She was the one who had to endure it, but somehow he was the one who looked like he was escaping.

When Stella called, Tessa’s voice came out hoarse. “Stella.”

“What’s wrong with your voice?” Stella asked, confused.

She sounded like she’d just… well, done something.
