A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 821

Darian left with Yulisa, rushing her to the hospital.

The look he gave Tanya before walking out the door defied description. She stood frozen in place, her fingers still wrapped tightly around the fruit knife that had just injured Yulisa.

She honestly couldn't wrap her head around how the other woman had gotten hurt. She hadn't even...

But what truly suffocated her was Darian's reaction.

She wasn't even sure how she managed to dial Starla's number, but the second the line connected, she choked out, "I think I finally understand how helpless you felt when dealing with Fairfax and Brinley."

Back then, Tanya had constantly blamed Starla. She had wondered why her friend didn't just speak up, thinking that anyone with a voice wouldn't allow themselves to be bullied like that.

But now, Tanya understood.

Sometimes, it didn't matter if you were willing to speak; what mattered was whether the other person was willing to listen.

Just moments ago, she had seen a shadow of Fairfax in Darian!

When Starla had previously asked her why she was with him, Tanya had firmly believed Darian was different from Fairfax.

But now...

Hah!

Birds of a feather really did flock together. Fairfax, Darian, and even Herbert... they were all cut from the same cloth.

Hearing the sheer defeat in her voice, Starla asked, "What's wrong? What did he do?"

There was only one person capable of making Tanya sound this devastated.

"Don't get involved with Herbert anymore," Tanya warned.

"They're all the exact same type of men," she added before Starla could respond.

It was true. In her mind, anyone who shared a brotherhood with Fairfax was tainted. Fairfax had broken Starla's heart, and now Darian was doing the same to her...

As for Herbert!

No matter what he said, she wasn't keeping it.

"He already knows about the pregnancy. He won't make it easy for you," Starla warned.

"I don't care!"

Right now, she didn't care about the consequences. Her only thought was being responsible for her own future. If she actually had a child with Darian, the Lynn family would trample all over her for the rest of her life.

"I honestly just wanted a casual fling with him. I never expected to create such a massive mess. This was a huge mistake!"

It was the absolute truth. Back when they started dating, Tanya hadn't felt the heavy burden that Starla had carried. Starla had tied herself to Fairfax with the intention of spending her life with him.

But Tanya?

She just wanted to have fun!

She had never planned on joining his elite world. She just hadn't expected that bastard to take a casual game so damn seriously.
