Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 507

No one really knew what Uriah had told Tegan, but in the end, Tegan decided not to go with Stella.

When Stella heard about Tegan's decision, she just nodded. "If you ever need anything, call me. I'll come get you."

Respecting her choices and offering a shoulder to lean on was all that Stella could do for Tegan.

Tegan was touched, nodding and hugging Stella tightly. "Thanks, Star."

Stella gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

Tegan smiled. "With you saying that, I feel like I can face anything."

At that moment, Tegan felt Stella’s warmth and support, a reminder that she had more than Uriah in her life.

Tegan closed her eyes. "There are some things I need to settle."

Stella's eyes widened. "Settle?"

Hearing Tegan's words, Stella realized that whatever had happened between Tegan and Uriah was likely more serious than she'd imagined. Nobody knew what Tegan had gone through.

"Need my help?" Stella offered.

"No, I can handle it myself."

That simple phrase revealed Tegan's unyielding strength. She had always seemed like a fragile girl with Uriah around, but now...

"Don't push yourself too hard," Stella cautioned.

Tegan shook her head. "It's not about pushing myself. With you behind me, I’m not afraid."

Truth be told, she never had been afraid. In the past, she didn't worry about the small stuff, but it was different this time. They were after her life now. If that was the case, she would reclaim everything owed to her and her family.

They chatted for a bit longer before Stella left.

Once she was alone, Tegan pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

The line picked up quickly, "Ms. James?"
