A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1157

Except for Yulisa.

Even though the Moore family was furious with Darian, Yulisa herself was still desperate for the match. And since some time had passed, the scandal had somewhat cooled off.

Eleanor sighed, giving a reluctant nod. "Fine. Since you're so confident, I'll leave the arrangements to you."

"Thank you."

Rowena let out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. As long as she had the elders' approval, she had plenty of ways to force Darian's hand.

...

Ever since Tanya had been brought back, Darian hadn't left her side for a single second. They had been separated for far too long.

After moving heaven and earth to find her, he wasn't about to let her out of his sight. He trusted no one else to guard her, terrified she would vanish into thin air the moment he blinked.

"You don't need to hover over me like that," Tanya snapped. "There's no one left to help me, and I can't escape anyway."

She just wanted him as far away from her as physically possible. Being trapped in his house made her skin crawl. She despised the very sight of him.

Darian winced at the sheer venom in her voice.

But he knew that with Starla out of the picture, Tanya truly had nowhere to run.

"I just want to be with you."

"Well, I don't want to be with you. I don't even want to look at you."

The rejection hit him like a physical blow.

Her absolute disgust broke whatever restraint he had left. He hauled her into his arms, his hand tangling in her hair to hold her steady, and crashed his mouth against hers.

Tanya thrashed wildly, fighting him with everything she had, but Darian refused to let go, his kiss growing more bruising and desperate.

"Let me go, you psycho!"
