Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 463

"Alright, I'll go to Uncle Vincent right now. Jason, you hold down the fort at the company. And go visit Nadine.

If she asks, just tell her I took Stella on another business trip. Under no circumstances can you let her know she's missing. And don't say a word to Grandpa Vaughn, either.

He adores her, and it would break his heart. I'll handle things with Vincent."

He had let panic cloud his judgment. His mother's family had immense power and connections; going to his uncle was the fastest way to get her back.

"Got it. But you need to shower and pull yourself together first. If you show up looking like a wreck, he won't help you."

Only Julius had the nerve to ask Uncle Vincent for favors. Jason was terrified of the man's intimidating, authoritative aura.

Julius spoke with renewed determination. "You head back to work. I know what I have to do now. I will bring her home."

He needed to stay calm and rational.

No matter what it took, he would find her!

...

Twenty days had passed since the incident with the suitcase, the bar, and the study. Over that time, Tiger's trust in Stella had steadily grown.

He no longer kept her locked inside the mansion.

She was finally allowed to step outside and stroll the grounds.

But to secure his absolute trust, she decided it was time to play her trump card.

She waited for a day when Tiger was home. She secretly swallowed a small pill, and halfway through their meal, she violently threw up.

Her performance worked perfectly. Tiger personally rushed her to the hospital.

Half an hour later, the doctor walked in with a sonogram. "Congratulations, Tiger. The lady is pregnant."
