Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 1171

The phrase 'third wheel' popped into Hull's and Finley Yoder's minds at the exact same time.

They exchanged mutual glares of annoyance, both silently scoffing at the other.

Susanna Tucker, on the other hand, lit up the moment she saw Tegan James and Finley together.

Ultimately, the two women threw their arms around each other in a tight hug.

Leaving Finley and Hull standing on the sidelines in utter silence.

Bang. A magnificent firework erupted, illuminating the already dazzling night sky of Ferrowland.

The grand wedding convoy drove majestically through the darkness.

Stella Quinn gazed up through the panoramic sunroof at the cascading fireworks. Her eyes sparkled, rivaling the brilliance of the explosive stars above.

Stella nestled into Ronald Quinn's embrace. "You really made sure everyone in Ferrowland knows we got married today."

In that moment, her voice dripped with absolute sweetness.

There was a time when realizing Ronald had completely claimed her heart terrified her.

Back then, she felt their relationship had to be kept strictly in the shadows.

She had feared that if her feelings were ever exposed, people would brand her as an ungrateful wretch with twisted desires.

They would have condemned Ronald, too.

Above all, she had just been so afraid.

When she went to war with the Larkin family, they all claimed she didn't care about her own reputation.

Or that she didn't care if people called her malicious and vicious.

But the truth was.

She simply didn't care about those specific people or their opinions.

When it came to Ronald, though, she was just as capable of fear.

"This way, no one will dare to cross you," Ronald said.

Stella let out a soft, melodic laugh.

People always said that a man like Ronald needed to keep his weaknesses well-hidden.

Men who lived on the edge could never predict when an enemy lurking in the dark might exploit their vulnerabilities.

But Ronald did the exact opposite.

Over the years, he never hesitated to let the world know that his most precious treasure was Stella.

And it was this fierce, uncompromising protection that ensured no one ever dared to lay a finger on her.

Stella nuzzled deeper into his chest.

Ronald gently brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, his tone laced with deep affection and concern. "Are you tired?"
