Caden believed Fairfax was taking things too seriously, thinking he had a duty to take care of his brother's children.
But was it really about the children? Was he blind to Brinley's intentions, or just pretending not to see? If he kept this up, he was going to lose his family.
Seeing Fairfax just drink without answering, Caden pressed him. "What did you two fight about this time?"
They all knew that Starla had been on a rampage lately—burning down houses, stirring up public scandals, fighting tooth and nail with Brinley just to get a divorce.
Fairfax closed his eyes. "It's over."
Caden and Darian went still.
"What? It's... over?" Caden couldn't believe his ears.
Darian was just as shocked. "How could you agree to a divorce?"
Starla had raised hell, and Fairfax had refused to budge. What had changed? Caden and Darian exchanged a stunned glance.
"What did she do this time?" Caden asked again. If all her previous stunts hadn't worked, this must have been something huge. What could possibly be bigger than arson?
"The girl from the twins... is dead," Fairfax said, his voice heavy.
Caden and Darian felt a jolt run through them. They stared at him, then at each other, before their eyes snapped back to Fairfax.
