Tessa was still trying to wrap her head around it. Holy crap… Stella’s temper alone was explosive enough.

And Dan actually faked his death to deceive her?

Was he trying to die for real?

Tessa muttered, “That guy with the dark hair just now…”

“Dan. Your brother,” Victor reminded her.

“No. I don’t have a brother like that,” Tessa shot back without hesitation.

A guy who could pull off something as low as faking his own death? What a scumbag.

If she admitted someone like that was her brother, she’d probably get jumped just walking down the street.

Blood ties like that? Cut them clean–don’t let any of that nonsense stick to her.

Besides, she’d heard the stories–Marie had nearly lost her mind over that man back then.

And in the end, he’d been the one lying to her?

How was anyone supposed to forgive that?

What if Marie’s rage exploded and she ended up catching Tessa in the crossfire?

Tessa almost called Stella on the spot–but one look at the time made her decide against it.

When Victor asked that question earlier, Tessa had actually thought about it. “It’s not like I listen in on just anyone.”

If it didn’t concern her, she definitely wouldn’t bother..

No matter how wild things got, she had no interest in sticking her nose in. But earlier, she’d heard the names Stella and Marie…

She looked at Victor. “Um, maybe you should head back.”

“Hm?”

“I feel kinda bad.”

Now that she’d calmed down, Tessa was starting to feel guilty about all the trouble she’d caused Victor lately.

Honestly, she really did feel bad.

Desperate times, desperate measures.

She’d actually made a deal with him in that kind of situation.

Victor caught the shift in her tone–how distant she sounded–and a smile tugged at his lips. He suddenly grabbed her unbandaged wrist and gave it a gentle pull.

In a flash, the space between them vanished.

Tessa’s breath hitched. “Wh–What are you doing?”

Victor repeated, “Feel bad“?”

“I just…”

Victor cut her off, “Funny. You didn’t seem to feel bad when you were making deals with me in bed.”

Tessa froze.

God, could he not bring that up?

Even when she’d told Stella, Stella had practically called her a dog for that one.

“Y–You’re standing too close.”

Victor said calmly, “Lana’s in this hospital. Are you sure you want to stay here by yourself?”

Tessa blinked. “She’s here too? Then doesn’t that mean the Nolan family’s around?”

“Not the Nolans. The Morris family. They don’t take their father’s last name.”

“Oh.”

Right, she remembered now.

The Morris family… were a special kind of messed up.

Victor added, “Her mother’s not here. But your father? He probably is.”

Tessa’s expression shifted instantly.

At the word father, her face darkened.

She pushed against Victor.

But his chest was solid as steel–she couldn’t move him at all.

Victor asked, “What’s wrong?“.

Tessa snapped, “I already told you, that man is not my father.”

-Father?

A man who threw his wife under the bus just to protect his mistress?

Someone like that didn’t even deserve to be called a man, let alone a father.

Victor fell silent for a moment.

Then he said quietly, “He probably knows about you now.”

Lana and Lina had both come looking for her–it was safe to assume things were getting complicated.

Tessa didn’t respond.
