A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 200

Brinley and her mother had played their parts perfectly, weaving a seamless lie that Fairfax had swallowed whole.

Starla pulled her hand away. “How could there ever be more children for us?”

Fairfax’s expression tightened.

“I’ve already lost two. I’d have to be an idiot to even think about having another child with you.” More children? A family like the Yelchins deserved to have their line end.

Fairfax winced at her caustic tone. “You…”

“If you think I wasn’t pregnant, then so be it. It’s for the best,” she said coldly. If she had a choice, she would wish away any child she might have conceived with him. The very idea of it now filled her with revulsion.

He placed a piece of food in her plate. “I know you and Brinley have had your misunderstandings. You won’t have to deal with each other anymore.”

He had already decided. Since the Yelchin family brought her so much pain, he would simply cut them out of their lives.

“From now on, your little world will only have me in it.”

Just moments ago, he had dismissed her pain as a simple misunderstanding, and now the doctor Brinley had paid off was being exposed on national television.

She picked up a piece of beef and ate it slowly. “What was it that doctor told you? That I was suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding?” She let out a sharp laugh. “She must have thought you were a complete idiot, feeding you a lie like that.”

Severe bleeding from a period was rare, especially for someone as healthy as her. And Fairfax had believed it. How could he have been so blind?

Fairfax’s expression grew darker with every word. He stared at her as she continued, her voice deceptively sweet. “So, can you guess why Brinley and her mother would have bribed that doctor?”
