Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 326

Xander chuckled, his tone dripping with mockery. "So after Yvonne Quinn took you away for training a month, this is all you've got to show for it?"

He handed his glass of red wine to the doctor who had just finished bandaging him up. With a languid ease, he buttoned up his black shirt, his perfectly styled hair giving him the look of a charming boy-next-door. But Stella knew better. Beneath that polished exterior, he was rotten to the core.

He settled next to her. "Or do you think you're so important to Ronald that he'll always be there to protect you?"

Seething, Stella shot him a glare, wishing she could do more than just roll her eyes.

He was her curse.

Years ago, his sister had forced her away from Ronald, and now here he was, whisking her away again.

Xander watched her reaction, amusement dancing on his lips. "After all this time, it seems little Star hasn't grown up."

"Don't you dare use that vile mouth to say my name," Stella snapped, her voice dripping with disdain.

Originally, the Schultz family and the Quinn family shared a deep bond. But after her father's death, the Schultzes turned on them, kicking them while they were down. Stella hadn't always disliked Xander, but now her loathing for him knew no bounds. Xander rose and crouched beside her. Suddenly, the plane jolted, and he nearly fell against her. Stella quickly moved out of the way, but the motion made him wince, his injured hand hitting the floor with a painful thud. "What the hell's going on?" he demanded.
