A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1054

"You shouldn't have to deal with the Yelchin family's drama in the first place! Whether they're good or bad, dead or alive, it's none of your business."

Given the way Fairfax was acting, it was impossible to feel an ounce of sympathy for his family.

Maybe Susanna was a good person.

But what did that have to do with Starla? Why should she throw herself into an even bigger nightmare just for Susanna's sake?

A nightmare...

Yes, exactly that!

Both Starla and Yvonne could sense that going back meant walking straight into a trap.

Yardley had already announced he was marrying Susanna!

And now this happened.

Yvonne refused to believe there wasn't some massive conspiracy behind it all.

And if Yvonne could figure that out, Fairfax definitely knew it too.

If he was still dead set on trading Starla for Susanna despite knowing all the risks.

Then he was beyond saving.

"No," Starla said.

"Once you're back in Yoran Country, it won't be so easy to run. You've already escaped twice."

Yvonne pointed out.

If she was going to run, now was the absolute best time.

"I am going to run, but I won't drag you into it."

She had a clear head on her shoulders.

She was deeply grateful for Yvonne's willingness to help, especially since they hadn't known each other long.

But she refused to implicate her friend in her escape.

"I'm not scared!"

"Thank you, but I have a plan."

Yvonne might not be scared, but Starla didn't want to burden anyone else, especially the people on her side.

Romy and Seymour were still unconscious from their severe injuries.

"Starla..."
