The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

She Took 859 Summary

Dan was still seething over his recent altercation with Marie, whose fiery temper was well known. Despite Andy’s attempts to calm him and advise him to hold his tongue during her outbursts, Dan was too angry to listen, feeling that he had been unfairly attacked and beaten by Marie. The tension between them left Dan feeling less than human whenever he was around her.

Suddenly, Dan received a call from Black Mountain informing him of trouble between Mr. Dale and Madam Artemis. They were arguing over a paternity test, which was shocking to Dan since Dale had always cherished Artemis and their children. The news that Dale wanted to test the paternity of the children, Lina and Lana, was unexpected and complicated, prompting Dan to decide to return immediately.

Meanwhile, Derrick was forced to rush back to Falvaria with Marie, who was now pregnant. Marie was emotionally stunned after accepting that Derrick was the father of her child, only beginning to process it on the plane. When she suddenly grabbed Derrick’s wrist, she confronted him about running away that night—a wound that still burned deeply. Derrick tried to explain that he hadn’t wanted to leave, but Marie’s anger only intensified.

Marie’s frustration boiled over as she accused Derrick of being the one who had abandoned her after their encounter, a truth that hit her hard and led to her lashing out in fury. She recalled how miserable she had been that night and how she had taken her pain out on Dan. Now, realizing Derrick was the one who had run away, she erupted in anger and lunged at him, overwhelmed by betrayal and rage.

Marie’s temper was one of a kind–truly unmatched.

Dan’s chest hurt from how angry he was. “You think I wanted to mess with her? She’s the one who keeps chasing me down to hit me!”

He was livid. Look at me now–barely human. Correction–I haven’t been human in front of Marie for a long time.

Andy sighed. “What I mean is, when she’s yelling at you, can’t you just hold your tongue?”

Dan snapped. “Do you even hear yourself right now?”

He’d been cursed out and beaten half to death, and now his own friend was telling him he shouldn’t even talk back?

That only made him angrier.

Andy shot back, “If you talk back, you’ll just be adding fuel to the fire–and she’ll beat you again!”

Dan was so furious he couldn’t even speak.
