“Derrick, you okay?”

“I'm fine. Just soft. | need to lie down for a bit.” Marie waved him off and went straight into the bedroom.
Her face was noticeably pale-probably because she had just thrown up.
Sebastian glanced at Derrick. “What's wrong with Marie?”
If there was one safe ground for Sebastian in all the mess between Derrick and Marie, it was how he addressed
her.
“She's fine,” Derrick said flatly. “Probably just stressed from chasing leads; the pressure’s too much.”
Derrick thought. But seriously—what was Abraham thinking? Marie and | were breaking our backs for him, and
meanwhile he was scheming against Marie and Victor? Against Ashen Pact? For what? If he just gave the order,
would they really refuse to cooperate? Was hiding all this about Tessa really worth it? And for what-skind of
performance? Playing at theatrics? Ashen Pact wasn’t a stage. That place was a dump. You wanted to raid it, you
just did. No required. So what if Marie's reaction wasn’t perfectly genuine? This was Abraham of Falvaria.
Since when had he ever needed a reason? Whatever he wanted done, it got done. Simple as that. But to drive
his own sister this far?
Derrick suddenly shot to his feet, startling Sebastian, who had been about to say something.
“What are you doing?”
“Mind your own business. Stop asking questions.”
Sebastian blinked.
Derrick was in no mood, his temper balanced on a razor’s edge; anyone who got too close was bound to get
stabbed.
Sebastian could only stare blankly at his back, completely lost on what he had said wrong this time.
Inside the room, Marie lay limp, her whole body drained after throwing up.
When Derrick cin, she mumbled weakly, “I don’t have the energy to deal with you right
now.”
She didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to argue-didn’t want to say anything at all.

Derrick stood at the side of the bed.

Looking down at the pale, fragile woman curled on the sheets, he frowned. “Stress got you this bad? That's not
like you.”
“Hm?” Marie blinked.
Stress? Well, if it was about stress, then yes-ever since Tessa had gone missing, it had been eating her alive.
She was genuinely worried Victor would turn on Abraham over it, and that would cause Abraham no small
amount of trouble.
Hearing Derrick press her like this, she turned over, clutching the blanket tighter. “Just drop it.”
Even hearing Tessa’s nnow made her nauseous; she was that anxious.
Watching her suffer, Derrick sat on the edge of the bed and tugged her blanket into place.
“You don’t need to panic.”
“That's easy for you to say. You're not the one caught between Victor and
my brother.”
Victor might have followed Abraham loyally all these years, but Marie knew better than anyone how powerful
Victor's own faction really was.
“She’s with your brother,” Derrick said.

“...What?”
The air went still.
Marie, who had been limp just moments ago, bolted upright as if jolted by electricity.
She stared at Derrick in disbelief. “What did you just say? I didn’t hear that right.”
“I said she’s with your brother. What are you panicking for?”
Marie was stunned. Wait, what? With my brother?
“That's impossible. If she were with him, there's no way | wouldn't know!”
“You really don’t know,” Derrick shot back.
Silence fell again.
Marie stared at him wide-eyed, dumbfounded.

Derrick reached out and pinched her dazed little face. “Shocked, huh?”
“This doesn’t... | mean...” She stammered. “How could she possibly be with my brother?”

It was enough to make his blood boil.
Marie's lips twitched; she blinked rapidly. “Are you sure about this?”
“I asked him myself.”
Marie’s mind went blank. He asked? Wait-what was happening?
It had already been exhausting enough to deal with Ashen Pact and the whole Tessa situation.
Now, hearing this from Derrick, Marie felt like the ground had been yanked out from under her.
Tessa... in my brother's hands?
Meanwhile, Abraham had just soothed Stella back to sleep and slipped quietly out of her room.
He picked up his phone-and saw Marie’s call coming in.
He tucked the blanket around Stella, then stepped onto the balcony and answered. “Speak.”
“Abraham, is Tessa... with you?”
