A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1060

She was mocking the days when Fairfax had acted like a madman, desperately trying to keep her trapped by his side.

Back then, he genuinely, wholeheartedly wanted her with him, didn't he?

But what did all of that mean now?

Absolutely nothing!

Even though she never reciprocated his feelings and constantly tried to escape.

Seeing him pull a stunt like this made his past devotion look like an elaborate, pathetic joke.

Her mockery forced Fairfax to see clearly just how ridiculous he had become.

He looked at her, suffocating. "Why do you have to say these things?"

Saying this now was like twisting a knife directly into his heart!

"Xenia is out of prison! You're trading me for Susanna! Tell me, Fairfax, have you ever respected me?"

None of it really mattered to her. Starla was bringing it up purposefully, forcing him to take a long, hard look at his own shamelessness.

Her words drained the remaining color from his face.

"I'm sorry."

He squeezed out the words with immense difficulty.

He quickly added, "But this is the last time..."

No matter what, this would be the last time, because after this, he would never let his family fall into Yardley's hands again.

"You're always like this. Completely incapable of balance! I told you a long time ago. A man like you has no right to get what he wants."

Especially... that cheapest of all commodities: his love!

Starla had given up on seeking it long ago, but he had stubbornly chased after her.

Offering his devotion...

But ironically, in his world, that devotion was shockingly cheap.

It could be tossed aside at a moment's notice!

He was doing it to her, just like Herbert had done.

"I will bring you back soon," Fairfax vowed.

The words were venomous and ruthless.

He wanted her to swap places with Susanna, right?

Yardley had forced him to choose between Susanna and her. Fine. Then she was going to make him choose too.

He could only keep one: Susanna or Xenia!

Since he loved making choices so much, he could make this one! Let the bastard choke on it.

Fairfax turned deathly pale. "You..."

"The moment I hear news of Xenia's death, I will go to Yoran Country with you and trade places with Susanna. After all, they're both your sisters. I have to leave you at least one of them, right?"

Between her and his family, he would always choose his family.

So now, he could choose between his own family members!

Let's see how he handled that.

Fairfax stared at her, horrified. Hearing her unyielding demand, the air rushed out of his lungs, leaving him utterly devastated.
