Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 86

In the next instant, Stella found herself swept into his arms, followed by a kiss tinged with the faint aroma of red wine landing on her lips.

Boom!

A thunderous shockwave hit Stella, rendering her completely stunned, her body turning to stone!

Her lack of resistance, in his eyes, seemed like acquiescence, and his kisses grew wilder, conquering with reckless abandon.

It took five heartbeats for Stella to snap back to reality, instinctively placing her hands against his chest in a feeble attempt to push him away.

But in a blink, her slender wrists were captured and pinned behind her back.

"Ronald, Ronald," she cried out in shock.

The man pinning her down, his eyes heavy with intoxication, gave her a brief glance. His gaze was deep and hazy, making Stella unsure if he possessed any semblance of reason.

She managed to free her hands and cupped his face. "Tell me, who am I?"

The hidden side of her heart, never meant to be revealed, suddenly surged forward, and Stella couldn't believe it. After all, this was happening while Ronald was drunk.

She...fancied him, missed him, loved him.

In Ferrowland, a relationship between two persons without blood ties wasn't a taboo. But she was scared.

Especially whenever Ronald introduced to others that she was a kid, she felt that to him, she was nothing more than a sister.

He cherished her with brotherly affection, loving and protecting her. If she were to reveal the true depths of her feelings and he didn't reciprocate, it could shatter their beautiful relationship as siblings.

She didn't want that. She couldn't bear the thought of ruining any aspect of their relationship.

At the sight of him being silent, a hint of disappointment flickered across Stella's eyes, "Don't you recognize me?"

Her voice carried a tinge of sorrow.
