The Wrong Girl and the Wronged Girl (Stella and Ethan) novel Chapter 594

Chapter 594 Afraid to Die? We Are

Derrick’s chest ached with frustration. “You think I’m afraid to die?”

Sebastian, Ashley, and Drax answered in unison, “We are.”

Dead serious. The three of them didn’t even hesitate.

Sebastian was genuinely terrified. “This isn’t a joke, man. You heard the call–she brought a whole crew to go after Dan.”

If Marie found out a bunch of people had tampered with evidence in what she believed was a sexual assault case, there’s no doubt–she wouldn’t spare a single one of them.

Meanwhile, as Marie and Derrick’s situation spiraled into chaos….

At Victor’s villa-

Tessa stirred groggily, vaguely hearing Silas’s voice from outside: “How the hell did your stitches come apart this badly?”

Lewis scoffed, “It’s gotta be that Ms. Tessa. I bet after we left, she went at you again. I swear, she’s a spy from Ashen Pact. Probably trying to take you out–just look at that wound.”

The more he talked, the more fired up he got.

Silas snapped, “Shut up.”

Lewis argued, “I’m just speaking facts. But seriously, it’s weird–if she really wanted to kill you, why not just do it at night while you’re sleeping? Why play these sneaky games?”

Sneaky games, huh?

Tessa had hated that kind of two–faced crap back in Rivermount–especially when Lilian used it against Stella.

But now, being in Victor’s orbit… it almost felt like she’d turned into that kind of woman herself.

God knows I’m not.

Silas deadpanned, “Do you really think anyone could kill Big Brother while he’s asleep?”

Lewis paused. “Good point. So she’s just trying to wear him down little by little?”

He was completely convinced now–Tessa had been using low–level tactics to slowly hurt Victor, all as part of some long con to end him.

Silas was speechless. He genuinely didn’t know what to say.

“Just get lost,” he finally muttered, afraid Lewis would eventually piss Victor off so badly he’d get himself

killed.

Chapter 594 Afraid to Die? We Are

Inside the room, Tessa whimpered, “Ugh…‘

It hurts. It really hurts.

Just shifting a little made her legs scream in agony. Her whole body felt like it’d been hit by a truck.

Outside-

Victor heard the noise from inside and glanced toward Silas, who was still tending his bandages.

Finished

Silas heard it too. He clipped the last piece of tape, muttered a quick “All done,” and started cleaning up.

Compared to Lewis, he knew when to make himself scarce.

He rushed toward the door and made up an excuse. “Oh crap, I just remembered something–gotta go!”

Just as he reached the door, Victor spoke coldly, “Go tear Lewis’s damn mouth off.”

Silas stiffened.

Sorry, Lewis. You brought this on yourself.

Even Abraham had no patience for him–and now he’d finally pissed off Victor, too.

Silas slipped out.

Victor got up and walked to the bedroom door. He pushed it open and turned on the light… only to see Tessa’s big, tear–filled eyes staring back at him.

She froze for a second, then choked out a sob. “It really hurts…”

She meant it. Last night had been her first time, and Victor… well, he’d completely lost control.

There was no “treat her gently” in his vocabulary.

Seeing her like that, Victor stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling her into his arms.

“Ahh-!”

The sudden movement yanked at every sore part of her body. Tessa cried out in pain, tears falling all over again.

So damn rough….

Victor paused, his brow furrowing. “It hurts that bad?”

He’d lived his life on the edge, injury after injury–it was nothing new to him. A bit of soreness? Not even worth mentioning.

But the cold edge in his voice only made her feel more wronged. She sniffled and kept silent, her tears falling harder now.

Seeing her cry like that stirred something in his chest–something unfamiliar, something strange.

And yet, it moved him enough that he reached out and brushed the tears from her cheeks with a rough fingertip.

“It really hurts that much?”

His tone softened–just a little.

The ice from before had melted away, at least for the moment.

Tessa nodded, sniffling. “Yeah… it hurts a lot.”

Even the slightest movement made her legs throb in pain.

She was already petite. Next to Stella, she was half a head shorter. Now curled up in Victor’s strong arms, she looked even smaller–like a kid.

Her damp hair clung to her face in messy strands.

Victor reached out and tucked them behind her ear.

“Girls always hurt the first time,” he murmured. “It won’t hurt after this.”
