Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 851

Thinking back on all the hell she’d been through these past years, Regina Schultz felt a surge of raw anger burning in her chest.

She watched Stella Quinn, the center of everyone’s attention, everyone treating her like she was some kind of princess. There was a time when Regina had been just like that.

Back when she was the beloved daughter of the Schultz family...

But everything that had gone wrong in her life—every single thing—was because of Stella.

“Stella, you’re a snake! You ruined me! I hope you lose everything, just like I did. I hope you end up exactly where I am,” Regina screamed, her voice echoing through the hall.

The butler’s face turned pale. He motioned to the two maids nearby. “Take her away, now.”

“No! I’m not going back there! I want to go home, take me back to the Schultzes!” Regina shouted, her voice cracking.

“Stella—”

Stella interrupted her, her voice calm and clear. “What happened to you wasn’t because of me.”

Regina stared at her, speechless.

Stella looked at her with steady eyes, the memory of three years ago flashing across her face, but her expression stayed calm.

“You want to talk about three years ago?” Stella said, her voice steady. “You took advantage of chaos in the Quinn family and had me kidnapped. You planned the whole thing—how you’d end up in Ronald Quinn’s bed, how you’d get pregnant, how I’d disappear for good. You figured it all out, every single detail. But you didn’t count on Xander Schultz showing up when he did.”

That night...

Xander, desperate to shake Ronald off his tail, finally found him and explained everything. He played along with Regina’s plan, just enough to make her let her guard down.

Regina thought she had covered every angle. If she’d succeeded, Stella would have been ruined forever.

But Xander found a way out in the chaos—a tiny window—and helped Stella escape from Ferrowland before Regina’s plan could destroy her.

The room froze at the icy threat in his voice. The butler quickly waved his hand. “Take her away.”

Regina heard Ronald’s voice and shook all over.

She turned, gasping for breath, meeting his gaze—the same man she’d loved since childhood, her teenage crush exploding into obsession. She had always believed they were meant to be, their families bound together by years of friendship, an arranged marriage practically set in stone.

But even back then, she’d seen the same longing in Stella’s eyes. And in that moment, her whole world had come crashing down.

From that day on, she and Stella had been locked in a silent, bitter war.

“Ronald…” Regina choked out, tears shining in her eyes.

It was supposed to be her and Ronald. That’s what she’d always believed.
