A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 962

Under such intense surveillance, Tanya was losing her mind. She couldn't deal with the baby, and with eyes on her at all times, she couldn't retaliate against Yulisa, either.

"Starla, I think I finally understand how you felt when Fairfax Yelchin drove you to the brink of insanity," Tanya admitted, her voice trembling. The confinement was literally driving her crazy.

Starla paused. Driven to insanity?

"Let's not talk about that right now," she replied smoothly. "Fairfax is dead."

Even now, bringing up Fairfax's 'death' elicited almost zero emotion from Starla. It was as if, in her world, he had always been someone who simply deserved to die! And he did deserve it...

Even though his demise was somewhat connected to her actions, it had only rattled her for a brief moment. Afterward, a cold calmness settled back in.

Sometimes Starla wondered if she was just cold-blooded. But wasn't this a perfectly normal reaction? Fairfax had inflicted so much trauma on her! Just because he had ultimately died because of her, was she supposed to mourn him and remain trapped in the past forever?

"So, I guess your nightmare is completely over now," Tanya murmured. At least the chapter with Fairfax was closed. But then there were Herbert Farley and Yardley Hoggart! Thinking of those two, Tanya felt a pang of sympathy for her friend, even though she herself desperately needed saving right now.

"I've already arranged for someone to come help you," Starla informed her.

"Don't," Tanya rejected the offer instantly.

"Excuse me?" Starla frowned. Don't? Did Tanya even realize the nightmare she was currently living in?

"Sending just anyone won't work," Tanya explained, her tone dripping with bitterness. "That bastard has locked down everything. The people he's assigned to watch me aren't your average guards."

They were highly trained professionals. Even the housekeepers were vigilant...

Those people could instantly restrain her with lightning-fast reflexes if she tried anything. In Tanya's eyes, no matter who Starla sent, it would be a futile effort!

"There are too many of them. He's got twenty or thirty people stationed inside and out, all just to keep an eye on me!" Tanya cried out in sheer agony. She never could have imagined Darian would stoop to this level of depravity.

Herbert and Yardley had been making a massive scene trying to track Starla down. Darian must have caught wind of it. That absolute scumbag—turns out he was never a decent guy to begin with.

"He rarely comes to see me these days," Tanya revealed. "He's too busy planning his wedding with Yulisa."

He was trapping Tanya while simultaneously preparing to marry another woman.

"He really is more shameless than Fairfax," Starla remarked flatly. Even at his worst, Fairfax hadn't imprisoned her quite like this! No matter how much she fought him...

"Yeah, way worse than Fairfax," Tanya agreed bleakly. How could she possibly have any kind of future with a man like that?

"Alright, my people should arrive in the next couple of days," Starla stated. "Darian won't be expecting me to intervene right now."

Which made this the absolute perfect window of opportunity for Tanya to escape!
