Beatrice then tells Hawke that Dominic was tricked into marrying Lila when she told him she was pregnant, but wasn't. As they are talking, Darius' Heavy tells Hawke, Jason Darius wants to speak to him. Jason asks Hawke what he is doing on the island and tells him Lila didn't have any money and tells Hawke to go home.
