A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1160

"Done deal? By who? You? Then you go marry her!"

Darian sneered.

They were treating him like a pawn, making life-altering decisions without even consulting the person involved.

It was laughable...

He had never been someone they could control, and he certainly wasn't going to start now. But his mother was confidently stating that everything was finalized behind his back.

"You—!"

"Give it up. I am never marrying Yulisa!"

His tone carried an absolute, unbreakable conviction.

He knew he had screwed up before. If he had just shown a fraction of this determination when the conflict between Tanya and Yulisa first began, he and Tanya wouldn't be in this shattered state. His recent conversation with Fairfax had been a massive wake-up call!

Fairfax's fatal flaw had been his constant wavering between Starla and Brinley, which eventually led to a point of no return.

Darian had woken up just in time.

At least, earlier than Fairfax did. He just prayed it wasn't too late.

No matter what threats Rowena hurled at him.

Darian didn't budge an inch.

Eventually, Rowena stormed out, but not before delivering one final, venomous warning: *Do not fight this marriage. Just let it happen, for everyone's sake.*

Otherwise...

Otherwise what? She didn't finish the threat, but the icy promise in her eyes made it clear that if he pushed back, she would make Tanya's life a living hell.

The door slammed shut.

Darian collapsed onto the sofa. He lit a cigarette and took a deep, dragging hit.

He rarely smoked before, but lately, the nicotine was the only thing keeping him sane! The crushing pressure of his family was enough to suffocate a man.

Three cigarettes later.
