"He wouldn't sign the divorce papers, so your brother kidnapped the YelchinsโXenia, Darleen, and Harley," Herbert explained. Yardley was crushing Fairfax's last ounce of hope.
A faint, cynical smile played on Starla's lips. "What else would he do? He'll make the same choice he always makes."
"You think he'll go to war with Yardley for you? Susanna is still in Cyrus Sea, you know."
It was a brutal double-bind. Surrender the papers to save his parents in Yoran Country, or fight and risk Susanna's life in Cyrus Sea.
"Then he only has one choice," Starla said, utterly unfazed. She fully expected to be abandoned again.
"We'll see," Herbert murmured. He knew Fairfax had chosen his family over Starla countless times before. But this time?
Starla frowned, her thoughts drifting.
"Don't worry. He's too busy to play detective."
"Logically, with me 'dead' and his family held hostage, he should have signed those papers without a second thought," Starla reasoned. People prioritized the living over the dead.
"He's not that simple," Herbert countered. He knew his rival well. Starla might rank below his family in his priorities, but she still mattered. Fairfax was likely losing his mind over her 'death'. Leaving her name on his marriage license might be the only sliver of connection he had left, and Yardley was ripping it away. He wouldn't sign it easily.

Why The ML is Idiot ๐๐๐ i Dont understand,i Think herbert is more suitable to become the ML he is most compose and calm than the ML ๐๐...
"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finally๐...
More chapters please ๐ฅบ...
