Marie started moving without another word.

Derrick immediately grabbed her slim waist. Marie wasn’t used to being touched there–and she snapped.

“Get your damn hands off me!”

As she raised her hand to slap Derrick, his face instantly darkened. What the hell? Most women melted the second he touched their waist.

But Marie? She turned into a total hellcat.

He caught her slender wrist in one move. “Enough. You think I’m dying to touch you? I wouldn’t take you if someone paid me.”

“If you don’t want me, why the hell are you touching me? Bastard!”

She raised her other hand to hit him again.

Derrick’s temples throbbed in frustration.

“I don’t want you, and no one else ever will. You’re gonna die alone, just watch.”

That one hit low.

For any woman–especially one who wasn’t lacking in any way–that kind of curse was brutal.

Marie definitely wasn’t letting that slide. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“You damn bastard!”

Derrick snorted. “You’ve got a nasty temper, dark as coal too. I’m just being honest. Go out and ask around. -who the hell would want someone like you?”

If she didn’t rip that mouth of his apart today, she’d never be able to let it go.

Meanwhile, Stella and Abraham exchanged glances.

Stella wanted to step in–but Abraham dragged her away before she could move.

All the way upstairs.

Stella broke free from his large hand. “What the hell are you doing? I-

“She doesn’t need your help.”

He wasn’t wrong.

The way Marie was going at Derrick, there was no way she’d end up on the losing side.

Still, Stella couldn’t help being mad. After all, Derrick was the reason she and Abraham had been separated for so many years.

That grudge tainted everything. At this point, no matter what Derrick did in front of her, it would always feel wrong.

“You’re awfully relaxed about this. The Tom family isn’t exactly simple anymore, you know.”

Especially that stepmother of Derrick’s. When she first married into the Tom family, she acted like such a saint.

But now, she was making more and more moves.

Let’s be honest–it was all to snatch up more of the inheritance for her two kids.

Hearing Stella’s concerns, Abraham’s lips curled into a faint smile. “The Tom family can be as complicated as they want. Your sister’s not falling for any of it.”

Oh… that’s true.

No matter what kind of schemes they had lined up for Derrick and Marie, Marie wasn’t the type to take the bait.

Which meant all their plots would be completely useless.

Getting ready for the banquet.

There’s usually never enough food at these things, and Stella was pregnant–naturally, the whole household revolved around her.

Evelyn, who was out at the moment, called in.

“Have the kitchen prepare something for Stella. Make sure she eats first.”

“Understood.”

The butler answered respectfully.

Not that she needed to worry–Abraham had already taken care of it.

Plus, Stella was getting sleepy.

Abraham took her back to their room, planning to let her nap for an hour before getting up to eat and head

out.

But as soon as they entered the room, Abraham got a call.

No telling what the person on the other end said, but his expression shifted slightly. Covering the receiver, he looked at Stella.

“Just take a nap for now. Later, you and Marie can head to the banquet together. No rush, okay?”

Stella sighed. “Busy again?”

Ever since they came back to Falvaria, Abraham had been swamped nonstop.

He gave a soft “yeah,” rubbed the top of her soft hair, and turned to leave.

Stella really was feeling drowsy.

She climbed into bed, planning to sleep a bit.

But just as she closed her eyes, her phone rang.

It was Tessa.

“Did you try to strip Victor again?” Stella asked flatly.

“Or did you tell him something crazy like, ‘Let’s get married right now?”
