Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

When Hull walked in, he caught the tail end of Idris's sentence: "Miss Yvonne owns too many private islands. It's going to be tough to track her down."

Honestly, even now, it wasn't just that it would be hard to find Susanna. Back when Stella got taken, it was the same nightmare all over again.

Hull's eyes were dark as a thundercloud. "Hard or not, we're finding her."

The moment he entered, Idris stepped back respectfully, giving him space. Ronald looked over at Hull without a word, just shot Idris a meaningful glance.

Idris cleared his throat. "Last time, with Miss Stella, he was the only one who finally brought her back."

Did Ronald care during that whole mess?

He cared so much it nearly broke him.

He knew damn well what his own little sister was like-there was no way he wanted to leave Stella in her hands for long. But no matter how they searched, it was like she'd vanished off the face of the earth.

They combed through every lead, every cottage, every private yacht and vacation home they could think of. Zero luck. Not even a shadow.

In Idris's mind, once Yvonne had Susanna, unless she decided to give her back, they could search till the cows came home and it wouldn't matter. They'd find nothing.
