Marie replied. “Derrick, calm down. I really don’t think you need to go confront Dan about this: I’ll take care of him myself. I never meant to make you look bad, it’s just that I got drunk the night before last. Maybe nothing even happened between us.”

Marie’s voice grew a little frantic; that last sentence came out weak and uncertain.

Because, honestly, something definitely had happened. The blood on the sheets had been intense, and her legs were still sore. What the actual heck…

This whole situation was a complete mess.

“You worried I’ll kill him?” Derrick’s tone took on a noticeable chill.

Marie was stunned. Worried?

“No, no, not at all! That guy’s nothing! Why would I worry about him? I just think, you’re my husband; getting into it with some loser like that isn’t worth it, you know?”

Worried? That wasn’t it at all. She just happened to be the kind of person who liked handling her own

revenge.

“Trust me, it’s really not what you think,” Marie added quickly.

“Where are you right now?” Derrick asked.

“Yalvoria.”

“You went that far?”

Just mentioning Evie made Marie furious.

That thief had been stealing from her since they were kids. The stuff she took out in the open was one thing, but who knew how much she’d snatched in secret?
