The memory of Elmer's hands on her sent a violent shudder down Susanna's spine. She was usually fearless, but staring death in the face had shattered her bravado.
She was still injured, yet Yardley had forced her out of the hospital today. She finally understood why. He wasn't discharging herโhe was hiding her. Because Elmer genuinely wanted her dead, and all because she had dared to say the wrong thing in front of Starla.
As for Fairfax... Yardley wouldn't care about right or wrong. The Hoggarts protected their own. Starla was their princess, and whatever she wanted, she got.
"He wants you dead?" Fairfax's voice was hollow.
"Yes! You never should have come to Maxlandia."
Miles away, Fairfax sat in the dark living room of a safe house, the shadows highlighting the grim lines of his face.
Elmer had nearly killed Susanna. And Starla had just stood there and watched? She hadn't done a single thing to stop it?
A freezing anger settled in Fairfax's chest.
"Don't let them find you," Susanna pleaded. "If they catch you, you're dead."
She didn't even want to imagine the bloodbath that was about to unfold in this city.
"What about you?" Fairfax asked.
"Me?"
"Are you planning to stay in Maxlandia?"
"I have to..."
"Do you honestly think you can still get revenge?"

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...
