Dan said, "Once we''re divorced, you can make as big a scene as you want, all


    right?"


    Yvonne shot back, "Who the hell said I want to make a scene? Who do you think


    you are, anyway?"


    As if she was some crazy ex-wife, always causing trouble. The way he said it


    made Yvonne''s blood boil.


    Dan sighed, "Fine, fine. I''m nobody, just sign the papers."


    No matter what they talked about, it always circled back to signing those damn


    divorce papers.


    Yvonne was seething, grinding her teeth so hard her jaw ached. She had half a


    mind to smack him, but at this point, she was too exhausted for a fight-and that


    just made her even angrier.


    Back in the old days, if she was pissed at someone, she''d just punch the source


    of her rage, and the anger would ease right up. Not now. Now it just festered.


    So instead, she did the next best thing-she bit him.


    Outside, Chloe had gotten into a full-on brawl with Dan''s men.


    Yvonne had only been inside the mansion for ten minutes when bodyguards


    started appearing from every direction. It was obvious-Yvonne had walked


    straight into a trap.


    Worried sick, Chloe immediately called backup, but help wasn''ting fast


    enough. Desperate, she pulled out her gun and started firing warning shots,


    sending the whole estate into chaos.


    Carroll, seeing someone brazenly attacking their turf, didn''t hesitate he went to


    grab his own shotgun, ready to put Chloe down.


    But just as he cocked the weapon, Dan came down the stairs.


    "Boss?"


    Dan''s right cheek was swollen, and Carroll figured Yvonne must''ve punched him.


    That woman was something else-nody-like manners at all. Seeing Dan like


    that only made Carroll more pissed; he was ready to take Chloe out for Yvonne''s


    sake.


    But then he took a closer look...


    That wasn''t a bruise from a punch. Those were perfect teeth marks-two clear


    rows.


    Carroll gaped. "Uh..."


    Dan winced, rubbing his cheek. "She''s got teeth like a little wolf."


    Carroll didn''t know what to say. He''d seen bruised faces, sure, but actual bite


    marks? That was a first.


    He scowled, muttering, "Where''s Ms. Quinn?"


    Compared to Scar, Carroll was more restrained-Scar had always called Yvonne


    a witch to her face.


    Dan replied, "She''s exhausted. I told her to get some sleep."


    Carroll''s jaw dropped. Sleep? How


    did he get her to do that? That


    woman had been attacking Dan at


    every chance, her emotions all over


    the ce. And now she was just...


    napping?


    Carroll didn''t buy it, but he wasn''t about to argue.


    Instead, he changed the subject. "That woman outside is out of control. I''ll go take


    care of her."


    That was Carroll-never one for


    weighing options. In his mind,


    anyone who came at them guns


    zing deserved a bullet, in and


    simple No wonder Dan had always


    relied more on Scar when he was


    around.


    Thinking of Scar, Dan''s gaze went cold. He still had a score to settle with Xander


    -he wouldn''t forget.


    But right now, there were more pressing matters.


    Just as Carroll turned to leave, Dan called out, "Wait."


    Carroll stopped, waiting for orders.


    Dan said, "I want her alive."


    Carroll blinked. "Seriously? Isn''t that a bit much?"


    Dan shot him an icy re, and Carroll instantly fell in line. "Yes, boss."


    He left, gun in hand.


    Dan gingerly touched the bite mark


    on his face, wincing. Things with


    Yvonne were already tense as hell. If


    her friend ended up dead at his


    hands, that woman would go


    nuclear.


    Honestly, he was starting to be afraid of her.
