A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1154

And now, her target would undoubtedly shift to Herbert. With a mouth as reckless as Tanya's, there was no way Herbert was going to let her stick around.

...

Back in her room, Starla debated reaching out to Tanya but ultimately decided against calling or texting. Tanya was with Darian now; any communication had to be handled with extreme caution.

Tanya hadn't texted again, either. It wasn't hard to guess that things in Marina City had completely spiraled out of control...

Tanya had been dragged back to Darian's villa—the very place she despised more than anything.

When Darian's warm palm pressed against her flat stomach, Tanya's voice turned to ice. "Get off me."

"Why couldn't you just keep the baby?" Darian's voice was hoarse with suppressed agony.

Feeling the emptiness where their child should have been tore his heart to shreds. If the baby were still there, she would have started showing by now. But now, there was nothing.

Tanya let out a harsh, mocking laugh. "You're asking me *why*?"

Did he really need a reminder of what had happened between them before she left Marina City? She shot him a look laced with pure contempt.

Under her piercing glare, the air hitched in Darian's throat. "I..."

He couldn't even finish the sentence. He knew he was the one at fault.

Lately, he had finally seen through Yulisa's manipulations and understood exactly how deeply he had hurt Tanya.

Tanya sneered at his apology.

"I've cut all ties with Yulisa," Darian pleaded desperately. "I see her for who she is now. Please, can you just stop being mad at me?"

He was hurting, but he had to swallow his pride and beg for her forgiveness. He was the one who screwed up first. If he had just stood firmly by Tanya's side from the beginning, they wouldn't be in this nightmare.

"You still don't get it, do you?" Tanya said coldly. "You have no idea what the real problem between us is."

Darian stared at her, stunned.

"You cut ties with Yulisa. Great. But what about the next one? And the one after that? The root cause isn't Yulisa. It's your family. It's the Lynn elders. And that is a wall we are never going to get over."
