A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 830

But he had been incredibly naive.

With the spectacular wreckage of Fairfax and Starla's marriage serving as a cautionary tale, his family was violently opposed to Tanya.

Even with a baby involved, their stance wouldn't shift an inch.

When Darian didn't answer, Tanya took a deep breath. "Darian, honestly, when we first started dating, I never had any intention of marrying you."

"What did you just say?"

"The gap between our worlds is too massive. We were only ever suited for a casual fling. We were just supposed to have fun."

That was how she had defined their relationship from day one.

She didn't care about his family's wealth or status.

She simply enjoyed being with him, so she figured they would enjoy their time together while it lasted.

She never intended to deal with the inevitable nightmare of his family's disapproval.

Because she had never planned on staying long enough for it to matter...

"What did you say?" he repeated, his voice dangerously low.

Hearing her describe their relationship as a 'casual fling' made Darian's face turn thunderous.

So, to her, this was all just a game?

He had been fighting his entire family to secure a future with her.

"The baby is an accident. I never planned on telling you. You forced your way into finding out," Tanya said coolly.

"But now that you know, don't stress yourself out over it. Let's just end things."

She was officially breaking up with him.

Every other time they had fought over the phone, it hadn't felt real.

Now, sitting face-to-face, she was officially calling it quits.

"Don't even dream about it!" Darian snarled.

"We are not breaking up. I do not agree to this!" He punctuated every single syllable, his tone absolute steel.

Looking at the man across from her, Tanya didn't even know what to say.

Look at this. They weren't even married, and he wouldn't let her leave.

If they actually tied the knot, it would be pure, unadulterated torture.

"I don't care if you agree or not. I have the right to end this."
