A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1012

Just as she expected...

When forced to choose between Tanya and Yulisa, he hadn't even needed an hour to decide. But now, forced to choose between his mother and Yulisa, he was suddenly paralyzed.

"How about you take some time to really think it over?" Starla suggested smoothly. "But a heads-up—my patience is running dangerously thin."

Given that she was keeping tabs on Darian, she really didn't have much time to waste.

"Oh, and one more thing," Starla added, her voice chillingly casual. "Tanya's pregnancy has been terminated."

The air in the call instantly crystallized. Before Darian could even process the words, Starla hung up.

Go ahead and protect them, she thought. The harder you try, the more I'll make you bleed for it.

...

On the other end, Darian's mind practically imploded.

When Rowena stepped into his study, she found him radiating a dark, suffocating gloom.

"Was that Starla on the phone?" she asked. "Did she say when Yulisa is coming back?"

Yulisa... the girl who had kept the entire Lynn household on edge for days.

Mentioning Starla, Rowena's tone dripped with venom. "That woman is crossing the line. This is between us and Tanya Mercer. What business is it of hers?"

Rowena was furious. She couldn't stand that an outsider had hijacked what should have been an internal family matter.

"When you were with Tanya, I told you—anyone who is friends with a woman like Starla is bad news. But you refused to listen."
