Starla refused to trust anyone connected to her past—especially someone as embedded in that world as Romy.
"I'm not leaving," Romy declared, matching Starla's stubbornness.
Starla's brow furrowed.
"Believe me or not, my being here isn't going to bring trouble to your doorstep," Romy insisted.
No matter what Starla said, the other woman stood her ground. And just like that, the fragile peace Starla had clung to shattered.
She barely remembered walking back to her room.
A few moments later, Herbert stepped inside. "I'll have my men handle it. Don't worry," he said, his voice as cold as ice.
"How exactly do you plan on handling it?" Starla turned to face him, a fierce glare in her eyes. She knew exactly what 'handling it' meant in his vocabulary. He had harbored lethal intentions toward Tanya; of course he would feel the same about Romy.
Before he could answer, she cut in sharply. "Don't touch her."
"You—"
"I mean it. Do not hurt her," Starla hissed. "She wouldn't have come here without knowing the risks. She has a backup plan."
Herbert fell silent.
"If you do anything to her, our cover is completely blown," she pressed. They had fought so hard to stay hidden. Fairfax was already suspicious, and Romy was no fool. She had definitely set up a dead man's switch before coming.
"Then why is she here?" Herbert's brow furrowed in frustration.
Why indeed.
Starla remembered Romy's exact words: I didn't come here for you.
If she wasn't here for Starla...

Why The ML is Idiot 😂😂😂 i Dont understand,i Think herbert is more suitable to become the ML he is most compose and calm than the ML 😂😂...
"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...
Finally😊...
More chapters please 🥺...
