A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1084

Both Fairfax and Amos knew the harsh truth: outside the Cyrus Sea, Fairfax's power had limits. He thought he could guarantee her safety, but could he really? Yoran Country wasn't as simple as he believed.

Fairfax's chest tightened. Amos's words were like a physical blow. Memories of him repeatedly promising Starla that she would be safe flashed through his mind. Now, every single one of those promises felt like a serrated blade twisting in his heart.

Just then, Amos's phone rang. It was the team investigating the scene of the incident.

He answered and put it on speaker. "Go ahead."

"Sir, we've confirmed there was a fourth party present."

Amos instinctively glanced at Fairfax, whose eyes were glued to the device.

"Whose men?" Amos asked.

"Lazar. General Licht's younger brother."

Lazar?

Perhaps because General Licht's shadow was so massive, very few people ever paid attention to his younger brother. Fairfax and Amos had completely overlooked him.

But no matter how useless Lazar seemed next to Licht, he was still his brother. He relied heavily on Licht for everything. Now that Licht was gone, Lazar was bound to be more furious than anyone else.

"Are you saying Lazar took her?"

If that was true, the situation was catastrophic.

It went without saying how much Lazar hated Starla. The man was notorious for his paranoid, ruthless nature. If she was in his hands... she wouldn't survive.

"We can't say for sure if his men physically took her, but they were absolutely at the scene."
