Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 465

Stella's mood instantly lifted, and she happily walked back inside to have dinner with him.

Seeing her so radiant put Tiger in a good mood as well.

She really was just a kid—so easy to please with just a little coaxing. He made a mental note to randomly buy her small gifts to keep her happy.

The doctor had said a happy mother meant a healthy baby.

He wanted his child to thrive.

And just like that, relying on her slightly exaggerated acting skills, Stella earned the right to roam the Rose Compound.

She could even visit his office whenever she wanted.

Of course, her boundaries were strictly confined to the compound itself.

It was a massive, self-sustaining operation, complete with its own hospital, supermarket, retail shops, and even a fresh produce market—where Celine went for groceries.

When she had nothing else to do, Stella frequently rode an electric scooter around the grounds, since it was the only form of transport available at the mansion.

Cars were strictly for Tiger's use, and he purposefully kept none parked at the house, likely to prevent her from making a getaway.

Now deeply familiar with the layout, she spent her days casually dropping by his office to remind him of her existence. By constantly playing the role of a needy, dependent lover, she solidified his trust.

Sometimes, she went to the supermarket for snacks and basic necessities.

Other times, she visited the pharmacy. Even though she knew his men were tailing her, she didn't care if they saw what she bought. On the surface, it was just standard vitamins and nutritional supplements.

But to her, when certain compounds were mixed together, they were incredibly potent.

Naturally, she bought everything with Tiger's cash.

He was generous, leaving stacks of money around the house for her to spend freely.

As a high-rolling crime boss, money was the one thing he had an endless supply of.
