A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1351

After Rudolf left, Herbert was alone. He sat in the dim room for a long, long time.

Fairfax Yelchin was gone!

His mind was a tangled mess.

In that moment, it finally hit him—Starla truly belonged to the Hoggart family.

From the second her identity as a Hoggart was confirmed, they existed in two entirely different worlds.

Back then, he had thought they were standing on the same side.

But he was wrong.

No matter how things played out, any relationship between them in the years to come could never be purely romantic.

Either he had to go further, or she did.

And now, it was she who had stepped into a realm far beyond his reach.

...

Tanya Mercer had been taken away by Darian Lynn. They were now settled in Tauria Country.

In the beginning, they had to dodge the men the Lynn family sent after them. But as time passed, for some unknown reason, the search parties were pulled back.

Lately, the Lynns hadn't bothered them at all.

It wasn't because the family had found a new successor. Patrick Lynn hadn't promoted anyone new; instead, the old man had been personally handling things at the company.

This sudden radio silence left Darian and Tanya deeply unsettled.

Then came the news of Fairfax's sudden death.

On their way back, both Darian and Tanya fell into a heavy silence.

It wasn't until they were on their flight that Tanya finally spoke up. "Are we... going to end up like that too?"

Darian's hand tightened around hers.

"No," he said without a second thought.

Perhaps because Fairfax's tragic end served as a glaring warning, Darian had been meticulously careful to avoid making the same mistakes in his relationship with Tanya.

"But your family has been way too quiet lately," Tanya murmured. "It makes me anxious."

Especially since she was pregnant again.
