Aella gave Tyrone a quick, quiet shove to get him to back off.

Tyrone stood up, pulled her over to his desk, and fed the whole pile of papers into the shredder himself.

Then he opened a drawer, took out a metal USB stick, and handed it to Aella. “Everything’s on here. There is no backup anywhere else.”

He turned on the computer and plugged the USB in so Aella could see for herself.

Aella froze for a moment and didn’t move. “Are you sure you’re not lying to me?” she asked.

Tyrone met her eyes. “I told you already,” he said, “if you’re worried, I can transfer my assets to your name.”

She still looked unsure, and Tyrone’s face got serious. “Since you came back, when have you ever agreed with me? How many parts of that prenup did you actually follow? What have I done to you?”

Aella’s eyes flicked, showing she wasn’t sure. She opened the files on the USB to check, then closed it and held the stick tightly in her hand.

Tyrone shut the laptop, turned toward her, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He leaned down and said softly, “Mrs. Winter, can we go rest now?”

The look in Tyrone’s eyes was way too obvious–there was no way Aella could miss it.

Just as she figured out how to brush him off, Tyrone’s phone started ringing.

When he didn’t answer right away, Aella looked at the screen.

It showed Zera calling.

Aella reached out and hit the accept button for him.

Zera’s voice came through clear and worried on the line. “Tyrone, something’s wrong. Orson might have eaten something bad. His stomach hurts, and he won’t stop crying. I can’t drive because I’ve had some wine. Can you take him to the hospital?”

Hearing that, Aella pushed Tyrone to hurry. “Go check on him. A sick kid is no joke.”

Tyrone grabbed her wrist. “We’ll go together.”

Aella pulled her hand back. “He needs blood tests and scans for stomach pain. I’ll just be in the

way: You need to get him to the hospital now.”

Tyrone had a child with Zera. That kind of link lasts a lifetime.

No matter how much he tried to deny it, he could not fool himself.

He also noticed the righteous look on Aella’s face.

His brow tightened, and he squeezed her hand a little without meaning to.

Aella. I know it makes you uneasy that Zera called, but the kid is innocent,” he said.

He had just promised her he’d keep Zera and Orson from getting in their way.

Now Zera was calling in the middle of the night.

Of course, Aella would feel uneasy.

While they stood there unsure, Zera rang Aella’s phone.

Aella picked up. “Don’t worry, I’ll make him go right away.”

Aella tried to defend herself. “Tyrone, if your thing with Ms. Caldwell really were innocent like you say, you wouldn’t be so worried about me talking to her. The more you dodge it, the guiltier you look!”
