Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 21

Yorick's irritation was palpable as he took a drag from his cigarette, his attempt to appear nonchalant failing miserably. "I know you can drive. We need to talk."

Stella responded, "I've got nothing to say to you."

With that, she turned on her heel and made for her car.

But Yorick wasn't having any of it. He strode up swiftly, grabbing the car door before she could slam it shut.

Stella impassively glared at him, "Let go."

Instead, Yorick yanked her out of the car. The difference in their strength was clear, and Stella, unable to match him, glowered.

"You..."

Yorick dragged her towards his own car, snatching her car keys and tossing them to Orion, who caught them neatly and quickly got into Stella's car, driving it away.

This only fueled Stella's fury, "You..."

Yorick released her then.

Stella growled, "Get Orion back here!"

By then, Yorick had already started his car, looking at her, "You getting in or not?"

In her anger, Stella kicked the car's tire, but eventually, she climbed into the back seat.
