A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1236

Romy felt a sudden sinking feeling in her gut.

"Are you kidding me? Another ultimatum?"

The thought of it made Romy sick. She had watched Fairfax weigh his loyalty to his toxic family against his love for Starla, and it had been excruciating to witness.

Back in Cyrus Sea, Fairfax had acted like he was madly in love with her. And maybe he was.

But that love only existed in a vacuum. The moment he had to actually choose between Starla and the Yelchins, he threw her to the wolves without a second thought.

Starla had barely survived the fallout, and now she was staring down the barrel of the exact same gun?

"This time, the one holding the gun is Yardley," Starla said quietly.

"Your brother?"

"Yeah."

How would Yardley choose? Would he throw her away for the Yelchins just like Fairfax did?

"Your brother isn't exactly a romantic," Romy pointed out. "I doubt he'd sacrifice his own blood sister over some woman."

Would he?

Starla wasn't so sure.

It was true that Yardley didn't care about love. But Susanna had been by his side longer than anyone else. Ever since Yardley had taken over the family, he had kept his bed warm but his attachments nonexistent—likely a lingering side effect of whatever happened with Yvonne.

But Susanna seemed to be the exception.
