A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1055

Fairfax fell silent.

He didn't know what else to say. This entire situation was an absolute nightmare!

Images of Susanna kept flashing through his mind...

Seeing his silence, Amos pressed on. "Do you really want to trade her? There has to be another way!"

"Susanna probably doesn't have time."

Yardley was dead set on getting Starla back, and the situation was incredibly volatile.

Amos paused.

No time!

Wait, was Fairfax actually saying... "You've made up your mind?"

He had decided. He was going to trade Starla for Susanna!

Suddenly.

Amos understood why Starla had completely lost it back in Marina City. Back then, she had truly gone crazy.

How could she not?

"She's a human being," Amos said. "Shouldn't you ask what she wants?"

"At least Yardley won't kill her!"

But Susanna was a different story.

From the looks of it, if Starla didn't go back, Yardley would end Susanna's life without hesitation.

"Then what was the point of everything you did for her before?" Amos demanded.

He had risked his life dealing with Licht.

"You need to realize that if you go through with this exchange, whatever you had with her is over. Forever."

This wasn't a joke.

Putting his life on the line hadn't been enough to open her heart before.

But this betrayal? It would crush whatever tiny shred of progress he had made into dust.

Fairfax took a heavy drag from his cigarette, staring into nothingness!

Seeing him like this, Amos groaned...

"Unbelievable. How are you acting just like Yardley Hoggart?!"

His tone dripped with disappointment and sheer contempt.

He despised this kind of behavior.

"You take her," Fairfax suddenly said.
