Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

The whole hospital room was thick with tension.

That single gunshot had everyone on edge, and Scar's hand instinctively moved toward the back of his belt.

But before he could make a move, Xander let out a cold chuckle. "Go ahead. Try it," he warned, his voice carrying a lethal edge.

Scar froze, all bravado draining from his face. He glared at Xander, his whole body taut, ready to defend himself but too scared to try.

Xander's eyes flicked over to Dan.

There was a mocking glint in his gaze. "I've seen my share of shameless bastards, but you, Dan? You take the cake."

"You mess around with women, then blame them for being too much, and now you want her dead? That's a new low, even for you."

Every word dripped with disgust.

Dan's breath came short. "She's not hurt, is she?"

Xander shot him a look. "You're asking me?"

Dan had nothing to say.

He honestly didn't know what had happened-Yvonne had already taken Susanna and bolted. That had to mean they were safe, right? He let out a shaky sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to speak, Scar cut in. "It was me. I did it."
