A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 100

Fairfax replied, "Within three days."

"Including what's in Annika's name?"

Fairfax fell silent. At the mention of Annika, his expression stiffened. He had been furious with Darleen the past two days for transferring all of Starla’s assets away. Getting back what was under his mother's and sisters’ names was one thing, but what was already in his grandmother's possession…

Seeing Fairfax's frozen silence, Starla pressed, "What? Is it no longer mine?"

"Whatever my grandmother has, I'll compensate you double for it."

With that one sentence, it was clear. He was hesitant to confront Annika.

Starla raised an eyebrow. "And what if I want exactly what was originally mine?"

Fairfax clenched his jaw. "You…"

"What belongs to me? Ha! I bet your mother returned it with one hand, only for Annika to snatch it away with the other, right? After all, once it's in Annika's name, not even you, Fairfax, can get it back for me, can you?"

With every word, Starla's tone grew more mocking. "Do you know how disgusted I felt every time you brought me a gift over the years?"

Fairfax remained silent, his face a mask of frustration.

Starla continued, "As a husband, you gave me so many gifts without ever knowing if they truly belonged to me. Fairfax, you're a failure as a husband and a coward as a man. You don't deserve to be married; you don't deserve a wife."

"So what right do you have to refuse a divorce? I was foolish enough to waste my time with you before, but do you really expect me to live a lifetime of misery with you?"
