From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 244

Aella sighed, her tone calm but firm. “Sayer, I’m telling you the truth. Don’t get upset. You’re no

match for him.”

Sayer’s face twisted with annoyance. His brows drew together, and his words came out sharp. “We’re in Euravia, Aella. This is Locke territory. Maybe I can’t beat him one–on–one, but I can sure as hell call my people and have them jump him.”

Aella gave him a quick hug. “Forget him. When you’re back in Vleka, I’ll take you out for barbecue.”

Sayer held her tight like a spoiled kid, his voice muffled against her shoulder. “Aella, I want to go with you.”

Across the street, inside a sleek black car, Zera spotted them through the window. Her voice was smooth, but her words cut like glass. “Tyrone, why is your wife hugging another man out there?”

She knew exactly who Sayer was, but she pretended she didn’t.

Tyrone’s eyes darkened. He stared straight at the two figures clinging to each other on the sidewalk.

His voice was calm and controlled. “Stop the car.”

The driver eased the car to the curb. Just as Tyrone stepped out, Aella climbed into Sayer’s sports car.

Zera’s voice sharpened, full of fake innocence. “Tyrone, your wife didn’t come to Euravia just to meet Mr. Locke, did she?”

Tyrone looked at her once. His face stayed expressionless. He didn’t answer.

When they got back to the hotel, he and Zera went their separate ways.

Inside her room, Zera paced in circles, her heart racing.

Earlier that night, she and Tyrone had attended a high–profile international auction. Tyrone had spent over a hundred million dollars to win a top–grade imperial emerald pendant.

The more she thought about it, the more she convinced herself it was for her son’s birthday. He must have remembered. That had to be why he bought it.

But later that night, when Tyrone knocked on Aella’s door holding the jewelry box, he learned she had already checked out and flown home,

Tyrone pulled out his phone. “Noel, get the plane ready. We’re leaving tonight.”

By the time Aella landed back in Vleka, the May holiday still hadn’t ended. A light drizzle fell from the gray sky.

The first thing she did was head straight to the hospital for a full checkup.

After work, she spent some time chatting with Daniel in the office. When she stepped outside, the sky had already darkened.

Through the rain, she saw Tyrone walking toward her with an umbrella.

She froze in place. She had just returned the night before. When had he come back?

“The rain’s coming down harder,” Tyrone said softly. “Let me walk you to the parking lot.”

Aella hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

She was still recovering from her abortion. Catching a cold now would be the last thing she needed.

They walked quietly side by side. Tyrone tilted the umbrella toward her, his own shoulder and sleeve quickly soaking through.

When they reached her car, he handed her a small jewelry box. “You took Mr. Fulford’s son as your godson,” he said. “As his godmother, you should give him something special. I bought this pendant in Euravia. It’s perfect for him.”

Aella didn’t take it.

Tyrone opened the box himself. “A pendant like this is almost impossible to find,” he said quietly.

Tyrone frowned, his voice tightening. “Aella, we’re husband and wife. Do you really need to draw such strict lines between us?”
