A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 860

Her mother killed Starla's mother.

With that blood on their hands, the Yelchins had lost any right to ask her for a damn thing.

"When are we finalizing the divorce?" Starla demanded.

It was insane that they were still having this conversation. Honestly, they were divorced in every way that mattered, but without the legal paperwork, she still felt a lingering unease.

"I gave you everything," Fairfax argued. "What more do you want?"

"I simply don't want my name on a marriage license with someone like you."

When they couldn't contact each other, she had let it go. Now that lines of communication were open, she demanded the paperwork at every opportunity.

"Who do you want to be legally tied to, then? Herbert? Judging by the current situation, I doubt you want that either."

If anyone was thrilled about Herbert moving heaven and earth for Brinley, it was Fairfax. After the nuclear fallout between him and Starla, he knew better than anyone that her one unforgivable boundary was Brinley.

Herbert knew that too, yet he still crossed the line.

"Who I want to be with is none of your business. I just don't want it to be you."

"What a shame," Fairfax murmured. "Because I really want it to be you."

"You shameless—"

Before she could finish, he hung up.

Starla was so angry she nearly threw her phone across the room.

But these days, no matter what chaos erupted around her, she always managed to get a good night's sleep. To her, nothing was more important than protecting her own physical well-being. When everything was shrouded in fog, the only things she could control were eating well and resting.

She slept perfectly.

When she came down for breakfast the next morning, Herbert was already there.
