Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Damn it!

Who the hell would do something like this? Mailing someone a used, pee-soaked pregnancy test? That's beyond disgusting.

Melissa had done a lot of thinking while she was abroad these past few weeks.

She'd really screwed up last time. Stella wasn't just anyone she was practically raised by Lottie.

And the entire Quinn family adored Stella. Her place in that family was untouchable.

Someone like that-if Melissa ever managed to marry Ronald, she'd be signing up for life on the hardest difficulty setting.

The truth was, if she ever set foot in the Quinn family, Stella would always be one step above her, no matter what.

Just thinking about that kind of life was suffocating-she honestly had no clue what she'd been thinking back then!
