A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1126

Every word crushed Fairfax under an unbearable weight.

He knew. He had always known. He knew how desperately she wanted to be free of him.

Back in Marina City, the only reason she hadn't signed the papers immediately was to use her position to torment his family. The second she was done dealing with the Yelchins, her first instinct had been divorce.

Looking back, almost all their explosive fights revolved around her wanting out.

And now she was gone... no, she couldn't be gone!

But regardless, the core of their conflict always came back to this one piece of paper.

"Just let her have this, please?" Susanna begged, seeing the raw agony flashing across his face.

Fairfax remained silent.

"Let this be the one time you actually give her what she wants," Susanna pushed gently. "She was never happy with you. You never did anything to make her happy. Let this be the one thing you do for her."

Her words felt like serrated blades carving into his heart.

She had never been happy with him? He had never done anything for her?

He stared at his sister, the suffocation in his chest turning into physical agony. "I never did anything for her?"

"Never!" Susanna shot back. "When she was at war with our family, you never stood by her side once. And when it came to Brinley—"

"Stop!" Fairfax finally snapped. The mere mention of Brinley was like acid on an open wound.

Susanna knew the name was a massive trigger, but she took a deep breath and pushed forward. "So let her go. This is what she wanted."

She had overheard his call with Darian. He had told Darian to let Tanya go. Shouldn't he do the same for Starla?
