A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 583

The phrase ‘very close’ pierced Fairfax’s heart like a poisoned dart. A vein throbbed uncontrollably at his temple.

His breathing grew ragged. “How close?”

‘Close.’ They had used the word ‘close.’

“There are multiple hotel records,” Gabriel said, his tone hesitant. He spoke the words softly, as if trying to distance himself from the damning information. For a scandal like this to hit the Yelchin family was an unbelievable disgrace.

If ‘close’ had been a dart, then ‘hotel records’ was a bomb that detonated in Fairfax’s mind.

His world went white. The blood in his veins seemed to freeze, and his skin lost all feeling.

Hotel records.

She and Felix had been that intimate.

He thought of Brinley’s behavior after his brother’s death, the way she had subtly played on his sympathy. What was all that, then? A lie? She had been involved with Felix even before marrying into the Yelchin family.

“Did she continue to see Felix after marrying into the family?” Fairfax’s voice was strained. He couldn’t bring himself to open the file. Though Brinley had betrayed his brother, the pain felt personal, cutting deeper than if she had betrayed him herself.

After all, Brinley was the main reason he and Starla had reached this breaking point. And now, what did it all mean? He had fought with his own wife for… for a woman like *that*?

“Yes,” Gabriel confirmed. “Their contact never stopped.”

Fairfax remained silent, his world collapsing around him.

“Every time Mr. Farley was away on a business trip, they would meet privately… always in a hotel room.”
