A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 905

They had barely been on the road for five minutes.

Just as Starla resigned herself to the reality of being dragged back to Herbert, a deafening crash rocked the vehicle.

The car had slammed into something. The massive force of the impact threw her violently against her seat. She vaguely heard two more sickening crunches of metal, followed by muffled groans from Rudolf and Aldo in the front.

Her vision blurred dizzily. Before she could even stabilize herself, her car door was wrenched open! A strong hand grabbed her arm and practically yanked her out of the vehicle.

"Let g—"

"It's me," Seymour's deep, magnetic voice cut her off.

Still reeling from the crash, she looked up at him, opening her mouth to speak, but he didn't give her the chance. He shoved her unceremoniously into the back of a waiting SUV.

"Miss—! Stop, damn it!"

Aldo's furious shout echoed from the wrecked car. He hammered against his door, but the frame had crumpled, trapping him inside.

"Seymour?!"

As the man turned around, Aldo instantly recognized him as Amos's right-hand man from the Cyrus Sea. His face twisted in horror!

Before Rudolf could even process what the name 'Seymour' meant, the man had already peeled out, taking Starla with him.

Furious, Aldo shoved the deployed airbag out of his way.

"Who is Seymour?" Rudolf demanded, panic setting in as he realized Starla was gone. He scrambled for his phone to call Herbert.

"He's Amos's man! No, wait—right now, he works for Mr. Yelchin."

All the blood drained from Rudolf's face.

Fairfax's man? They had just escorted her out of the Hoggart estate, only to have her immediately snatched by their rival's forces?

The line connected. Herbert's icy voice answered, "Do you have her?"

Too much time had passed, and Amos had a massive entourage, so Herbert hadn't committed the face to memory. Realizing his oversight, Herbert's expression turned murderous. He looked ready to tear Fairfax apart with his bare hands.

"We don't know the exact details," Rudolf stammered. "The guard assigned to Ms. Lansbury—"

Before Rudolf could finish his sentence, the line went dead.

Listening to the dial tone, Rudolf swallowed hard, a cold sweat breaking out on his neck!

"What did the boss say?" Aldo asked.

Were they supposed to pursue, or head to the airport? Either way, both men knew a severe punishment awaited them.

Rudolf took a deep breath. "He didn't say anything!"

The fact that Herbert hung up without giving orders meant he was enraged beyond words—and that was exactly what terrified them the most.
