A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1257

In the end, Starla was escorted away by Elmer's men before Yardley's forces could ever find her. Romy remained steadfastly by her side.

On the private jet, Starla turned to her friend. "Once we land in Maxlandia, we should go our separate ways."

Romy's brow twitched. "I need to see for myself if your dad is cut from the same toxic cloth as your brother first."

Starla's chest tightened. "You..."

"Look, I might not have the skills to snatch you away from them, but..." Romy trailed off, studying Starla closely.

"Honestly, look at you. You were born into the ultimate high-end setup, so how did your life end up becoming such a miserable trainwreck?"

It was true. She had started life with every advantage, yet it had all spectacularly exploded in her face.

Hearing this, Starla actually let out a genuine laugh. "Right? It's so tragic."

"The universe really just decided to single you out and mess with you. I don't even want to know what kind of atrocious karma you racked up in your past life."

Starla fell silent.

She had honestly started wondering the same thing. Just as Romy said, her perfect beginning had crumbled into total chaos.

Her family life was a battlefield, and her romantic life was an absolute disaster.

"You're probably right. I must have personally offended the gods in my past life!"

"Highly likely!" Romy agreed. Why else would the universe put her through the wringer like this?

They touched down in Maxlandia. Starla urged Romy to leave, but she refused to budge.

"I don't even trust you right now," Starla admitted bluntly as they walked out of the airport, trailing behind David and his security detail.

"I know," Romy said smoothly. "You don't trust anyone right now."

"So, do you have an ulterior motive for being here?"
