829 Surprise! You Might Be Pregnant!

Over the years, the Ashen Pact had quietly reaped all kinds of benefits; those resource sites were gold mines, and she’d seen the raw materials herself–they were top–notch. Especially the mines–the purity of those ores was unbelievably high.

No one would work that hard without getting something out of it; the truth was, there were too many perks.

At the mention of “snatching,” Dan shot a glare over his shoulder at Marie, his teeth practically grinding.

That look–like he wanted to devour her alive.

Marie wasn’t afraid of him in the slightest.

“Move!” she snapped.

“Marie,” Dan warned, his tone dark, “I don’t want this to turn into a fight.”

“Well, I do,” she shot back. “Got a problem with that?”

Play with her? After all these years, she was just collecting a little interest–what was so wrong with that?

Dan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

Just then, Marie’s phone rang–it was Abraham.

She answered. “Hey, bro.”

“Why’d you run off from the hospital?” Abraham asked softly over the line.

Maric frowned. “That scumbag Derrick called you, didn’t he?”

Abraham made a low sound of confirmation.

Marie huffed. “Don’t listen to that idiot’s nonsense. I’m fine.”

“He wanted me to get a gastroscopy! I’ll just grab some meds and see how it goes.”

Truthfully, she’d tried some medicinal powder over the past few days, but it tasted so vile she couldn’t even get half a mouthful down. Thinking about it now, she figured she should at least try some pills first. She couldn’t keep feeling this awful forever; if it got worse, she’d just go back to the hospital.

“Don’t take anything randomly,” Abraham said quietly. “You might be pregnant.”

Marie froze. “What?” What did he just say?

“What did you just say?” she demanded.

Pregnant?

Finished

What kind of cosmic joke was that?

Her mouth twitched, her neck turning mechanically toward Dan–her expression said it all.

Dan tensed under her stare, suddenly feeling that she was about to lose it again.

And this time, he was absolutely right.

Marie was about to lose it.

“Your symptoms are the same as Stella’s,” Abraham reminded her. “Remember? She couldn’t keep anything down at first either.”

Marie stammered, “No, I mean–you and Stella were together so many times, so of course she’d–But me…”

But me what? Thinking of that night, Marie’s gaze turned feral again, landing on Dan like she wanted to rip him apart.

Abraham, on the other end of the line, instantly darkened at her words–you and Stella so many times. His sister always said the most inappropriate things.

“What the heck are you talking about?”

“I’m just saying the truth!” Marie protested, flustered. “I—I…”

“Then go have a doctor check,” Abraham snapped. “It’s almost certain. You’ve been vomiting for days!”

She had–ever since last time, it hadn’t stopped. If this wasn’t pregnancy, what was it?

Marie’s grip on the phone tightened. “So…. you’re saying I really might… be pregnant?”

Abraham gave a low hum of confirmation.

In that moment, it felt like a storm tore through Marie’s entire world.

She numbly hung up the phone, then turned to Dan, her eyes darkening with growing fury.

Dan frowned. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Before he could blink, Marie–who moments ago refused to even get out of the car–suddenly shoved the door open.

But before stepping out, she reached into the little planter between the seats and grabbed whatever she could get her hands on.

The moment she got out, Dan hadn’t even registered what was happening when a water bottle came crashing down right onto his forehead.

Dan fell silent.

The bodyguards fell silent.

The air around them instantly thickened, tense as a drawn bowstring.

Dan’s men bristled, and a few even reached for cold steel, aiming straight at Marie.

That one swing–Marie had thrown it with all her strength. Dan’s head was still ringing, his ears buzzing from the impact.

Before he could react, another bottle came down. “Don’t move! Move and-”

“Put your damn weapons away!” Dan barked, cutting off his men.

Marie was completely unhinged.

She was pregnant–pregnant with this scumbag’s child—and today, she was going to kill him if it was the last thing she did.

Unfortunately, all she had was a plastic water bottle–hardly lethal–but she didn’t stop, hitting him over and over until he was dazed.

Just as she raised her arm for another swing, Dan grabbed her wrist. “Enough! What the heck’s gotten into you?”

Seriously? This woman had a temper like wildfire. One phone call, and she started attacking me? What the heck had that person told her? He’d noticed something off in her eyes when she answered the call, and the moment she hung up, she’d started hitting him.

Where was the logic in that? Dan’s patience snapped, irritation flaring.

His words completely shattered what little sanity Marie had left.
