However, she quickly understood it wasn’t a coincidence; he had intentionally waited for her there. The bruises from the beating he had received from Charles’ men still marked his face. He was wearing a black wig, and his complexion appeared sullen and worn out.

Marissa sighed in resignation, “Derek, I never knew you were such a glutton for punishment. I’ve hit you every time you’ve provoked me. It’s happened several times now, hasn’t it? Are you addicted to getting beaten, or do you think I won’t have the nerve to finish you off?”

“Why did you deceive me, Marissa?” Derek’s voice trembled with grievance.
