A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 281

Starla had always been level-headed. She knew she, an orphan, was no match for a man of Fairfax's status and had repeatedly rejected him. It was Fairfax who had pursued her across the globe until she finally gave in.

Now, he was completely wasted.

"But even after that damn woman turned so rotten, I still goddamn love her! If she dares get with Herbert, I'll kill him…"

Darian and Caden exchanged a pained look. This was torture!

Seeing Fairfax finish the bottle, Darian opened another and handed it to him. "Drink."

"What are you doing?" Caden tried to grab the bottle. "You're giving him more?"

"He's not passed out yet, is he?" Darian retorted. "You want to listen to this all night?"

As his friends, they couldn't just leave him. The river was right there. If they left and he did something stupid in his drunken state, they'd feel guilty for the rest of their lives. But listening to him was becoming unbearable.

So Darian poured two more bottles down Fairfax’s throat until he was completely incoherent, unable to form a single word, though he still mumbled Starla's name.

Caden looked at Darian. "I never realized you were so ruthless."

He had literally drunk him into a stupor!

Darian just shrugged. "Did you want to keep listening to his incoherent ramblings about Brinley's hardships?"

"No!" Caden snapped. What hardships? The woman lost her husband and immediately started lusting after her brother-in-law. For all Caden knew, she might have had something to do with her husband's death. Otherwise, how could she so shamelessly pursue Fairfax?
