Now he was pulling this act–what else could it be but a performance?

Dan stood and casually adjusted the sleeve that had been rumpled when he carried her.

“So what do we do now, Marie?”

Marie went quiet. What the hell do you mean, what do we do?

Dan stood at the edge of the bed, looking down at her. Even under such suffocating tension, those peach blossom eyes of his still held a deceptive depth–an illusion of tenderness.

Marie had to admit, once upon a time, she had fallen for that gaze.

All those years he’d been missing…

Whenever she thought of the way he used to look at her, it always brought with it the illusion of affection.

But ever since Dan reappeared…

That illusion shattered completely.

She suddenly remembered what someone once said: “Peach blossom eyes could make even looking at a beast seem full of emotion.”

Dan opened the nightstand drawer as he spoke.

“Your love–it’s not something you can just take back whenever you want.”

Marie was stunned.

What?

Dan said, “You don’t get to decide that.”

Marie snapped, “Are you out of your damn mind?”

Did he think she was some clueless little girl? Like she couldn’t even control her own heart?

Too bad for him–she wasn’t.

Even when she’d loved someone with everything she had, the moment she found out they were a threat to her family, she would crush that so–called love without hesitation.

Dan, as always, acted like he hadn’t heard a word she said.

He pulled out a folder that had clearly been prepared ahead of time. There was even a pen

clipped to it.

Dan handed it to her.

gave him a cold, unforgiving glare, then cast a glance at the document he was offering.

The title: “Divorce Agreement.”

She let out a short, mocking laugh. “What, trying to play the classic rich–people trick? Marriage contract before the wedding?”

In high society, that kind of transactional marriage game was common.

Some people signed divorce terms before they’d even tied the knot.

Marie sneered. “Who the hell do you think you are, pulling that stunt with me?”

Did he think she was desperate? Starving? That she needed to play some pathetic deal like that with him?

Dan said calmly, “It’s your divorce agreement–with Derrick.”

Marie froze.

Her head snapped up to look at him, eyes now filled with an oncoming storm.

Dan watched her reaction, then sat at the edge of the bed and pushed the folder toward her again.

“Divorce him first. Alright?”

Love or not–that wasn’t the most important thing right now.

What mattered was that he, the leader of Ashen Pact, was not going to be the other man.

So Marie had to leave Derrick.

Marie’s breathing turned ragged. “You son of a b*tch.”

Dan was just declaring decisions on her behalf like it was his right. Rage boiled up, and she raised her hand to slap him across the face.

This time, Dan caught her wrist.

“I don’t care who it was that night at Spirit Pub.”

“You don’t care?!” Marie exploded. “You lying bastard, what was that whole performance for

then?”

She was furious.

She raised her other hand and swung.

This time, it landed with a sharp smack.

Dan’s face darkened instantly.

He clenched his teeth and glared at her. “Did you ever hit Derrick like that?”

His voice was tight, barely hiding his jealousy.

He shouldn’t have mentioned Derrick.

At the sound of that name, Marie immediately recalled what Dan did the night she and Derrick got their marriage certificate.

It hadn’t just been an insult to Derrick–it had ruined her reputation, too.

Marie’s anger surged, and her fury toward Dan only deepened.

She wanted to hit him harder.

But now, she didn’t even have the strength…

Her blows barely registered on him. It was infuriating.
