A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 1174

"They only look at Tanya and see shadows of Starla," Darian said quietly. "What they don't realize is that Yulisa is a mirror image of Brinley."

The mention of Brinley finally made Caden understand the depth of Darian's fears. Yulisa really did have the same traits. They were both exceptional actresses... and behind that innocent act, who knew what dark rot was hiding?

When Brinley was with the Yelchins, she had been the picture of perfection. She had charmed everyone into loving her. No one could have guessed she was capable of conspiring with Felix to murder Faraday Yelchin, or passing off Felix's child as a Yelchin heir. It was the ultimate humiliation for the family.

Now, Yulisa knew Darian didn't love her, yet she was ruthlessly forcing her way into his family. Who knew what dirty secrets she was burying?

"I'm taking her to Blueton to get married," Darian stated.

Caden's eyebrow twitched. "Married? Wait, isn't this a little impulsive?"

So it wasn't just a simple getaway. He was taking her overseas to tie the knot.

"To my family, just being with her is impulsive," Darian replied evenly. "I'm past the point of overthinking."

When it came to Tanya, he knew exactly what he wanted. He wanted her, and that was all that mattered. Over the last few days, he had done a lot of soul-searching. Why had Tanya been so desperate to leave him after the drama with Yulisa erupted? It was because she felt he lacked the spine to protect her.

Today, when he told her they were leaving, he saw the shift in her eyes. It might be a dramatic, even slightly immature way to handle things, but Tanya knew—just as everyone else would soon realize—that it was the only way to break the deadlock.

"I am once again retracting any comparison between you and Fairfax," Caden said flatly.
