She had been distant before, but never this freezing.
"You're not planning on going back to Maxlandia, are you?" Herbert demanded.
So... even after everything that went down with Fairfax, just hearing that he was carried out of the Hoggart Castle on a stretcher was enough to make her panic?
Starla paused for a fraction of a second. She didn't answer. She yanked her arm free and kept walking, leaving him behind.
Herbert didn't chase after her, but the aura radiating from him grew dangerously dark.
Rudolf stepped into the room. "Sir."
"Keep an eye on her," Herbert ordered.
He meant Starla. The moment she heard about Fairfax, her entire demeanor had shifted. He had genuinely believed that by choosing death, she had severed all emotional ties to the man. Now, he wasn't so sure.
"Understood," Rudolf nodded and slipped out.
Left alone, Herbert lit a cigarette, taking a harsh, irritated drag.
When Romy strolled in, she found him enveloped in a cloud of smoke and frustration.
"You know what they say," Romy drawled, her tone dripping with mockery. "Things you steal never truly belong to you."
Herbert's face hardened. He shot her a glare so lethal it could have frozen blood.
"Am I wrong?" she challenged playfully.

Why The ML is Idiot πππ i Dont understand,i Think herbert is more suitable to become the ML he is most compose and calm than the ML ππ...
"You're a failure as a husband and coward as a Man" This is what i want to say in Fairfax hahaha you dont deserved a wife if you cant protect her...
Hahaha This plot of story i hate about, choosing another girl instead of your own wife is something unreal, you didnt considered your wife feeling, you didnt even trust her and later on you will say sorry?? Was sorry will fixed everything you've done? Was sorry fixed her heart? it was unfair for your wife, you must choose your wife whatever it is. You know your wife well more than anyone else and the only person she should lean on was the person who pushes her away...
Finallyπ...
More chapters please π₯Ί...
