Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 700

“Yvonne, that damn woman. Didn’t she always act like she had a good head on her shoulders? And yet she actually went for a guy like Xander?”

The more Dan thought about it, the more pissed off he got.

Xander, hearing Dan practically seething through the phone, let out a soft chuckle. “Well, she’s my wife now. We share a bed. I’d say that’s perfectly legal, wouldn’t you?”

“So it really was you last night?”

Dan’s teeth were grinding so hard you could almost hear it through the line; his breathing was ragged.

Xander replied calmly, “Yeah, it was me. So what?”

“Xander!”

Dan’s furious shout nearly shattered the speaker.

Xander’s voice was even, almost cold. “Last night, she was with me. Not you.”

Each word was delivered like a punch to the gut. Dan’s rage nearly made him pass out.

“Goddammit, so you hooked up with Yvonne and then left me to take the blame for the mess? Xander, you bastard! You’re not even a real man. Just you wait—I swear, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

Dan had never been this angry in his life. If Xander was anywhere near him right now, he’d probably try to tear his head off.

Xander just laughed. “If you’re wondering whether I’m a real man, Yvonne can definitely vouch for that.”

Dan was speechless. For a few seconds, the only thing on the line was the sound of Dan’s labored breathing.

Suddenly, frantic voices echoed from Dan’s end. “Sir? Please, you can’t get this worked up. You need to calm down!”

“Get out of my way!” Dan bellowed, voice cracking.

Then someone else shouted, “Doctor! Doctor, hurry! He’s passed out again!”

Xander hung up, a satisfied smirk on his lips. Under his breath, he muttered, “Best if he never wakes up again.”

In Xander’s eyes, Dan should’ve died years ago. That way, at least he’d have stayed pure in Yvonne’s memories.

But now? What good was he, alive and just making everyone miserable?
