    The man’s lips curled into a deep smile. “Impressive. Your constitution’s stronger than I thought–the drug isn’t fully taking effect.”

    “By now, you should’ve passed out.”

    Marie went quiet.

    Her mind buzzed like a struck gong.

    She’d been holding back her fury all the way here, but hearing Dan mention a drug pushed her over the edge.

    “You bastard! You drugged me?!”

    Her strength was fading fast. Even her consciousness was starting to slip.

    Their eyes locked.

    Marie’s gaze burned with rage. Dan stepped forward slowly and knelt in front of her, one long leg bending gracefully.

    His slender fingers lifted her jaw. “How pathetic. I have to go this far just to get you under control.”

    She was too fierce. Too skilled.

    There probably weren’t more than a handful of people in the world who could match Marie in a fight.

    Marie red at Dan with pure hatred, eyes practically spitting fire. Just as she was about to spit in his face, he suddenly mped down on her jaw. Her mouth fell open slightly–she missed

    her chance.

    Which only made her re at him even more viciously.

    Dan chuckled and scooped her up off the floor, cradling her in his arms.

    The gesture struck a nerve. “You piece of shit, put me down!” Marie roared.

    She didn’t bother hiding the disgust in her eyes as she stared at him.

    That sliver of disdain made Dan’s breath catch, just a little.

    “You really hate me?”

    That look–there was nothing fake about it.

    Before Marie could respond, Dan went on, “Marie, you used to love me.”

    “Loved me so much… you swore you’d marry no one else.”

    Marie went quiet.

    Hearing that made her fury explode.

    “You pulled all that vile crap and you still think I’d love you? Are you delusional? Living in some fantasynd?”

    Dan went quiet.

    That word–dream–made his breath hitch again.

    Marie sneered. “You ever look at yourself in a mirror? Dan, you’re a filthy bug crawling through the sewers. Of course you don’t have love. You never did.”

    Not that he didn’t deserve love–he simply never had it in the first ce.

    Marie’s tongue was sharp as ever.

    And thatst line–never had love–finally set Dan off.

    He carried her into a room and tossed her onto the bed.

    As usual, Marie tried to flip herself up right away–but this time, she had no strength left.

    Her body was limp.

    “What the hell did you drug me with?!”

    She roared, furious.

    From the moment she stepped into the study to when they started fighting, it hadn’t even been a few minutes. She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything of his.

    Waiti… /i

    Could it have been that disgusting smoke when she opened the door?

    That scumbag trick.

    Over the years, she’d seen plenty of dirty tactics.

    But Dan? He was in a ss of his own.

    He stepped toward her, long legs closing the distance.

    The pressure rolling off him made it hard to breathe. Marie instinctively backed away.

    “You… what are you trying to do?”

    That bastard wouldn’t try to wreck her again like he did back at Spirit Pub, would he?

    “If youy a hand on me, I swear I’ll kill you this time. No more mercy.”

    “Mercy?” Dan scoffed. “You think you showed me mercy?”

    He sat at the edge of the bed and yanked her into his arms. “Marie, you didn’t hold back that night.”

    She’d brought so many people, caught himpletely off guard.

    And when she struck, she went for the kill–no hesitation, no mercy.

    Marie’s eyes shed. “You think?”

    “Or are you just blind? Can’t tell if someone feels something or not? I guess I iwas /iblind once.”

    Back then, she couldn’t even tell real love from fake.

    She’d been so blind, she didn’t even notice how he kept using her–over and over again, she still stupidly ran to him.

    Looking back…

    She’d been a fool.

    How could she have offered up her heart like that? Let him trample it without even realizing?

    Dan grabbed her wrist tightly. His gaze held back a storm of cold fury.

    “You really meant to kill me that night.”

    He wasn’t blind.

    He saw it clearly,

    That killing intent–burning with rage–had been all too real.

    Marie didn’t flinch. “Damn right I did.”

    She said it with no shame, no hesitation.

    Danughed. It was a bitter, mocking sound.

    Marie pressed her lips together tightly.

    She didn’t understand what he was so sad about.

    Was this some performance?

    He was the one who toyed with her. Used her. Faked his death just to escape her.

    And now what? He wanted pity?
