Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1039

Yvonne was a firecracker, through and through. Just thinking about Mona and Berry plotting against Stella made her so furious, she was ready to throttle them herself.

Stella gently squeezed Yvonne’s hand. “Do you really think crushing them would make you feel better?”

Yvonne bristled. “What do you have in mind, then?”

“A little retaliation.”

Retaliation? What kind of plan was this? Was sweet, innocent Stella turning ruthless? About time, Yvonne thought. When it came to people like that, a little ruthlessness was exactly what was needed.

She caught the flash of mischief in Stella’s eyes, and her own anger fizzled—curiosity taking its place. Yvonne dropped back onto the couch beside her. “So, you’ve come up with something fun?”

Stella grinned. “Wanna play?”

“Are you kidding? Nothing I want more!” Yvonne’s eyes gleamed. She lived for the kind of payback that left her enemies in despair.

Stella pulled her close, her voice lowering conspiratorially. “Here’s how we do it…”

Meanwhile, after returning to Ferrowland, Yvonne threw herself completely into helping Stella. As for Dan, that grudge Yvonne once held against him back in Litamark? She’d practically wiped it from her mind—forgotten as quickly as she’d once been furious.

But Dan? Dan was a mess. Anders Lowry watched, wide-eyed, as Dan kept knocking back drink after drink. When he’d emptied his glass one too many times, Dan just clutched the bottle and started guzzling straight from it. Anders considered himself a seasoned veteran of wild nights—but even he was shocked by Dan’s self-destruction.

“Whoa, man—you can’t keep drinking like that,” Anders said, reaching over to pry the bottle from Dan’s grip. Dan jerked away, hugging it to his chest.

Anders looked helplessly to Carroll beside him. “What’s going on with him?”
