Her voice cut sharp through the air. “How could you even think something that cruel?”

Her tone swelled with heat and force. “You are not Orson’s real father. You already claiming him is unfair to your wife. I’ve carried this guilt long enough. Don’t push me any further, I beg you.”

Tyrone’s tight brows softened ever so slightly. Zera caught it, and she rushed to steer the talk away. Her voice lowered, almost pleading. “It’s the holidays. The park is empty. Why not see it as a gift for Orson? Stay for a while. Watch fireworks with him.”

Tyrone gave a short nod. Zera’s chest loosened with relief.

The park was quiet and bare. The holiday crowds had gathered elsewhere.

The driver knelt with the child, helping him set off fireworks. Sparks burst into the air, cracking and scattering like stars.

Zera looked at Tyrone. His face showed no joy. Guilt crushed her.

Her voice quivered. “I’m sorry, Tyrone. Tonight is my fault.”

The words tumbled from her mouth in a rush. “You stood against your grandfather and admitted Orson as your child. You carried the pressure, yet you never told your wife. I’ve been so grateful.

“I never thought he would cling to you like this. He looks at you like you’re his whole world. He depends on you.

“He keeps begging for a father. Sometimes he cries until he won’t eat for a whole day. I’m worn down. I can’t take it anymore.

“If only I had refused when your grandfather tried to force me to marry. If only I hadn’t given in after years of pain. If only I hadn’t chosen to keep him. Then this boy wouldn’t have been born into suffering.”

Tyrone’s voice steadied, heavy with calm. “Zera, you are not to blame. You kept him because you’re kind. None of this is on you.”

He lifted his wrist, checked the time. “It’s late. I’ll take

you

home.”

Chapter 134 in the Car

The car rolled them to their building.

The vehicle stopped, but Zera didn’t move.

She tested the waters. “He’s asleep. I can’t carry him. Could you take us up?”

The driver acted first. He opened the rear door. “I’ll carry the boy.”

Her plan shattered. She bit her lip and stepped out herself.

Tyrone reached home past midnight. At this hour, Aella should have been asleep.

He entered the code; the lock clicked open. As the door opened, the elevator chimed behind him.

Brad’s voice rang out. “Don’t waste your time. She isn’t home.”

Tyrone turned, disbelief dark in his eyes.

And now, one day later, every promise lay broken.
