Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 259

After lounging around the house for most of the day, Stella got a call from Julius saying he had a business dinner that evening and wouldn't be home.

In reality, he was heading to the Jeter residence, but he specifically chose not to bring her along. He knew Yvonne had crossed paths with Stella at the office, and he didn't want his wife dealing with that headache.

Figuring she had the evening to herself and hadn't seen the old lady in a few days, Stella decided to head over to the Blackwood Manor to keep Nadine company for dinner.

She left the house around four in the afternoon, planning to arrive early so they could chat and maybe take a nice stroll after the meal.

Halfway through her drive, her eyes flicked to the rearview mirror. She was being tailed. Again.

Was it the same crew from yesterday?

Thinking back on her deductions, she was almost positive this was Gideon Kaye's doing.

He must have taken one look at her and decided she was exactly the kind of prey he needed.

His endgame was undoubtedly to drag her into his sick 'Siren's Scent' operation.

And this Snaggletooth guy was definitely on his payroll.

Since they were stupid enough to follow her again, she figured she might as well see exactly what they wanted—and maybe reel in the big fish while she was at it.

If they truly wanted to kidnap her, she was more than happy to play the bait.

Why wait for Julius's security team to track him down after he snatched some other poor girl?

Consider it her good deed for the day. She would infiltrate their little operation, map out the layout, and obliterate Gideon's sick enterprise from the inside out.

Who knew how many innocent women the psychopath was planning to butcher for his twisted perfume?

The man was utterly deranged.

So, if they wanted to play a game? Fine. Let's play.

Instead of continuing toward the estate, Stella casually veered onto a quiet side road.
