“Victor’s handling it. What’s there to be anxious about?”

Abraham’s voice carried a trace of displeasure. He didn’t like how often Tessa was calling Stella lately.

Back before their trip to Rivermount, Tessa had been full of admiration–for him.

Stella didn’t catch the subtle tone shift. “Did you know Victor asked Tessa for compensation?”

What kind of nerve was that?

Tessa had nothing right now. If Victor insisted on taking something from her, Stella would be the one footing the bill.

But the fact that Tessa was being extorted–by one of Abraham’s own people, no less–made Stella fume.

Abraham raised an eyebrow. “He asked for money?”

He hadn’t expected that from Victor.

After all, man to man–he could see right through Victor. That guy had obvious feelings for Tessa.

And if that was the case, there was no way he’d be demanding cash.

Stella shook her head. “No, not money. Something else.”

If it were money, this whole thing would be over already. She’d just pay it off for Tessa–simple.

Abraham frowned. “Something else?”
