Verbal sparring was Stella's forte. And sure, if it came down to a fistfight, Jaxon wouldn't stand a chance against her either.

The moment she dropped that bomb, Jaxon on the other end of the call felt his heart throbbing in frustration.

Hearing that Stella was even aware of his secret only made Jaxon double down on his resolve to get her out of the city. She was trouble, for him and for Ursula alike.

"You, you, I'm not gonna mince words here. Mom said you need to leave Portis City, pronto. Are you gonna go yourself, or do I have to make you?"

Jaxon's words, "make you", were spoken through clenched teeth, and Stella could tell he meant business.
