A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1139

Hearing Tanya validate her feelings didn't bring Starla any comfort. If she had heard this earlier, she might have felt a pang of sorrow, but now she was just numb to it all.

"So what's your plan? Have you figured out a way to lose him?" Tanya asked, lowering her voice.

As her best friend, Tanya knew Starla better than anyone. She knew Starla would never settle for this. Starla had a zero-tolerance policy for betrayal. There was no way she'd willingly stay with Herbert after what he did. She would definitely plot an escape.

Starla sighed heavily. "It's hard to find an out right now."

Herbert had made it crystal clear: if she ran, he would tear the world apart looking for her. That would immediately expose them to Fairfax and Yardley. She had gone through hell to get off their radar, and the last thing she wanted was to be dragged back into their toxic orbit. Herbert had perfectly checkmated her.

"What if you fake your death again?" Tanya suggested.

Starla gave her a flat look.

"I mean, it worked on Fairfax and Yardley! Why not use it on Herbert?"

"He wouldn't fall for it." Starla knew exactly how sharp Herbert was. You couldn't use the same trick twice on a man like him.

Tanya inhaled sharply through her teeth. "Yeah, that's a massive headache."

Changing the subject, Tanya muttered, "I wish I had used a fake death to ghost Darian." If she had pulled a stunt like Starla's, she wouldn't be constantly looking over her shoulder, hiding from Darian Lynn's frantic search efforts.
