A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1161

Darian Lynn was resolute in his decision. This gave Tanya Mercer a glimmer of hope, though she remained entirely clear-headed. After all, back when Fairfax Yelchin wanted to marry Starla Lansbury, he had been just as fiercely protective of her in the beginning. And look how that turned out. Everything changed after they tied the knot! If you could just walk away when things went south, it would be fine. But Fairfax never gave Starla that option. If she hadn't faked her own death to escape, she would still be his wife today. So, no matter how devoted Darian acted right now, Tanya kept her guard up.

That afternoon, Yulisa Moore showed up.

Darian had gone back to the Lynn estate, summoned by his parents. The two women took a seat.

Yulisa glared at Tanya, gritting her teeth. The facade she used to wear was completely gone, replaced by a vicious hostility that made it look like she wanted to tear Tanya apart. Tanya picked up her coffee and took a sip. She was wearing a low-cut sweater. The faint marks on her neck were in plain sight, and Yulisa didn't miss them. Already despising her, Yulisa felt her stomach turn. What a shameless woman! Was seducing Darian all she was good for?

"Not going to say anything?" Tanya asked.

Yulisa had been silent since she arrived, and Tanya's patience was wearing thin.

"We're getting married," Yulisa bit out, enunciating every single word.

"Oh?"

"Do you have any idea how pathetic it is for you to be sleeping with him right now?"

Staring at those glaring marks on Tanya's neck, Yulisa wanted to lunge across the table and strangle her.

Tanya let out a cold laugh. "I'm pathetic? I think you're the one who needs a reality check. You spent all these years playing the role of his 'best buddy,' while secretly harboring feelings for him. You're quite the actress. Keeping up that 'one of the guys' act for so long."
