Dan's face had gone completely dark.

His fists clenched at his sides, and all he could think about was ripping Marie's teeth out one by
one.
Especially when he thought about how her entire attitude toward him had shifted because of Derrick and Tessa-it
made his blood boil.
“What happened to your face?” he snapped at Conan.
Dan wasn’t the only one looking like hell. Conan had a black eye-clear as day.
A punch to the face.
And here they were, in Noctarth-Ashen Pact territory. Yet both the leader and his right-hand man looked like
they’d been through a street fight.
Conan’s face twitched. “A woman hit me.”
He gritted his teeth.
Sophia—she chere with Marie. One of Marie's people.
Conan had lived in Noctarth for years under Dan’s protection. People bowed their heads when they saw him.
Called him “Brother Conan” wherever he went.
Never had he suffered such humiliation-getting socked in the face like scommon thug.
Dan went silent.
A woman?
The second he realized Conan got beaten by a woman, his expression soured even more.
He shot Conan a sharp glare. “Useless. You can’t even handle one woman?”
Conan went quiet.
You too, he thought bitterly. You can’t even handle Marie.
Meanwhile, Marie and Sophia had turned Dan’s domain into utter chaos. But no matter what they stirred up, Dan

Dan was holding out for one thing: he wanted Marie to sign the divorce agreement with Derrick.
Sophia sighed. “We tried. We can’t get out.”
There was disappointment in her voice.
Anywhere else, they moved freely. But here? Dan had turned this place into a fortress.
Marie clutched her chest and paled. Sophia asked quickly, “What’s wrong?”
“Just nauseous,” Marie muttered. “That bastard’s blood is disgusting.”
Blood wasn’t exactly new to Marie. She'd seen plenty over the years.

So why was Dan’s making her this sick? She'd practically retched up her liver in the bathroom. earlier.
Sophia went quiet.
She didn’t get it. Blood was blood-it all smelled the sto her.
“I looked for Tessa, too. No trace of her here. She must be somewhere else,” Sophia reported.
That nwas a mistake.
Just hearing “Tessa” made Marie's fists itch again. She was ready to storm out and punch Dan all over again.
Sophia thought for a moment. “Hey... what if Dan didn’t take her at all?”
Marie's eyes narrowed. “If not him, then which shameless bastard did?”
Just the thought made her panic.
In her mind, this had to be Dan's doing. Better be Dan’s doing. If it wasn’t-things could be way
worse.
Marie turned sharply to Sophia. “Are you saying one of my enemies took her?”
Dear God, please no.
If it really was her enemies, then not even scorched earth would be enough to contain her rage.
Marie looked dazed for a second, like the very idea knocked the wind out of her.
Sophia said nothing.

Her enemies? That couldn't be good.
“You think my enemies would really be that dumb?” Marie asked, uncertain.
Sophia thought it over. “Probably not.”

But behind the scenes, no one ever played dirty.
So, all things considered, her enemies weren't totally despicable.
“Then it probably wasn’t them,” Marie concluded.
Sophia nodded. “Yeah, probably not.”
Marie frowned. “Then who the hell took Tessa?”
She was getting furious again.
Sophia hesitated. “Could it be... Mr. Victor?”
If not an enemy, then the only real possibility was Victor.
“Victor?” Marie blinked. “No, that

When she said “sneak,” Sophia looked like she didn’t know how to respond.
“I don’t think Victor's that kind of person,” Marie said firmly.
To her, Victor was a man of principle. If he wanted someone dead, he'd do it openly, face-to- face.
That kind of man didn’t do underhanded things.
Sophia stared at her for a beat, then sighed. “Maybe just test the waters?”
After everything they’d been through, Sophia didn’t trust anyone anymore.
