Tyrone stared blankly at Aella.
Seeing the tears sliding down her pale checks sent a sharp pain through his chest.
Every word she had said—“Congratulations” and “Tyrone, Tyrone, Tyrone“-cut into him like a blade, carving deep wounds across his heart.
Zera saw him moving toward Aella, his steps unsteady, his eyes dazed, as if under a spell. Panic rose in her chest.
She tore free from the bodyguards and rushed forward to block his path.
She circled to his other side, cutting off his view of Aella. “Tyrone, what do we do now? You just helped me, and now everything’s blown up!”
Her crying snapped Tyrone back to his senses.
He pushed down the unfamiliar ache in his chest and tried to calm her. “Zera, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen to you.”
Hearing that promise again, Zera finally relaxed.

He stepped forward and said to Aella, “This is all on me. It has nothing to do with Zera.”
Aella looked at him, then fixed her gaze on Zera.
“Ms. Caldwell, since you won’t answer, that means you do love Tyrone. The two of you are truly in love.”
Tyrone grabbed Aella’s wrist, lowering his voice. “Aella, that’s enough.”
Aella pulled her hand free and faced Edwin. “Mr. Edwin, since they love each other and have a child together, you should let them be.”
When Edwin didn’t respond, Aella dropped to her knees. “Please, let them be together.”
