Chapter 37 Drunks

• As Derrick sat in the mini bar in his chamber, memories of that day flooded back. The very first day he’d met Lia. Who knew an intruder would be stirring him up this much, making him hunch in the bar drinking. Something he hadn't done in a long while. He'd kissed her a couple times more but none matched their first kiss. It was a kiss he gave his vigour because he wanted to impress his new bride that he did not love but was only marrying to satisfy his parents.
• Her boldness had taken him aback in the dungeon. When he suggested she be his bait, he never thought she'd agree to it. He was never going to harm her anyways and was only trying to scare her and find out what she knew. Then she said she was forced to put on the wedding dress. Strangely he believed her words even though he didn't voice it out. Laura may have loved and wanted him but his lack of affection towards her had pushed her to the cliff. He didn't blame her for making the decision she did.
• What about their second wedding? Was it even their second wedding? He smiled. She'd challenged him brazenly. Did she not think he could hurt her? Unlike other women, she did not fear him. The many rumours about him being a monster did nothing to restrain her sharp tongue. She was different from them all. She was really something else.
