Back when Derrick had decided to confess, he, Ashley, and Drax had all braced themselves for the storm. They were ready–mentally, emotionally—to face death.

They’d expected Marie to explode, to burn them all alive.

But… nothing happened.

Instead, she flat–out refused to believe Derrick was involved at all.

When Derrick heard Sebastian mutter, “Why doesn’t she believe you?“, his face turned dark.

Why? Because that woman didn’t think he had the guts.

Of course, he couldn’t say that out loud in front of Sebastian. All he said was, voice cold, “You sure she’s pregnant?”

Sebastian: “Why else would she be going after Dan right now?”

Derrick was stunned.

Right. If it weren’t something serious, she’d never have bothered.

He asked, “Are you sure she didn’t take anything afterward?”

Contraceptives.

Sebastian said, “She was fuming. Punching Dan, bashing Ella–when would she have had time to take a pill?”

She’d been too busy throwing fists and rage to think about birth control.

Derrick thought about it. Made sense.

He turned to Kale. “We’re going to Ashen Pact.”
