Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 978

Xander reached for the pregnancy test in her hand. “Put that down, Yvonne. You’re pregnant—no doubt about it.”

Never mind what the test showed; her symptoms spoke for themselves. Everything she ate came right back up. She slept constantly, and if she wasn’t asleep, she was snapping at everyone around her. All the signs were there.

Yvonne jerked away before Xander could snatch the test. Hearing his blunt declaration, the fury on her face was unmistakable. Whatever fragile calm he’d managed to salvage a moment ago instantly shattered. With a furious yell, she hurled the test across the room, the plastic clattering against the wall.

“That bastard Dan! I swear to God, I’m going to kill him!” The scratches and slaps she’d given him earlier suddenly felt far too merciful—he deserved much, much worse.

Rage blazing in her eyes, she jumped to her feet, determined to grab her things and hunt Dan down again.

Xander watched her storming around and felt a headache coming on. He grabbed her wrist in an effort to stop her. “Yvonne—”

“Let go of me! And don’t you dare say a single nice word about him!” she snapped, cutting him off mid-sentence. The last thing she wanted to hear was anyone—even Xander—making excuses for Dan. Ever since that jerk had faked his death for years and then come waltzing back into her life, she’d fantasized about killing him daily. Taking Dan down had basically become her sole mission in life.

Xander’s grip tightened. “Would you just—”

“I just don’t get it! Why do you always take his side?” Yvonne’s anger only grew, insisting Xander was about to defend Dan yet again.

Xander exhaled, frustrated. He’d told her over and over since that night—it was him, not Dan. But Yvonne refused to listen, convinced Dan was the one. Now she even accused him of being Dan’s defender.

“You really think I’d defend him?” His voice was incredulous.

“Of course you would! Why else are you stopping me?”
