A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 914

The moment her head hit the pillow, she fell into a deep, dark slumber.

She slept...

She had no idea how long!

Suddenly, her body was pulled into an embrace. No matter how deep her sleep was, she jolted awake instantly.

The moment she saw it was Fairfax, Starla completely lost her temper.

"You bastard!"

She raised her hand, aiming a slap right at his face.

Fairfax caught her slender wrist. "I just need to sleep for a bit."

"If you want to sleep, roll over to the other side!"

She absolutely hated being woken up, especially like this.

Fairfax used to never be like this...

In the past, if he came home late and she was asleep, he would never disturb her. This wasn't just him being shameless anymore.

It was completely obnoxious!

"I wanted to hold you," Fairfax said softly.

"You..."

"Stop fussing. Go to sleep. It's been so long since I held you."

It really had been too long.

If Amos hadn't suggested this approach, he wouldn't have known how to ever get close to her again.

Feeling her in his arms right now...

Even though there was no more adoration in her eyes for him, he was deeply satisfied just having this.

"Let go of me!"

Starla was disgusted by his touch.

"If I don't make it back safely tonight," Fairfax said quietly, "Amos will have someone take you to a place where no one knows you."

Hearing those words, the aggressive hostility radiating from Starla instantly vanished. She looked up, shooting him a sideways glance. "What do you mean?"

If he made it back safely? Did that mean...

"You might die out there tonight?"
