Noel gathered his courage and said, “Mr. Edwin, Mr. Ralph, if you keep forcing Mr. Tyrone to give up his wife, you might as well be asking him to give up his life.”
Tyrone was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Aella made it home safely.
Brad and Raine dropped her off at the door, then quietly left home.
In the living room, Aella sat on the couch, surrounded by her worried family. They asked over and over if she was hurt.
Aella comforted them. “Dad, Mom, he just wanted to force me to remarry him. He didn’t hurt me.”
Warren sighed. “I used to think that kid was calm and steady. Never thought he’d turn out like this.”
Sayer, still angry about everything Tyrone had done, snapped, “That’s because you never saw through him. Smart people like him are always a little twisted inside.”
Miriam nodded in agreement. “Look at the other powerful families–every one of them sticks together. Brothers and sisters watch each other’s backs. But him? He took over the company all by himself at such a young age. Outsmarted those old board members, fought through the business world, and came out on top. A man that ambitious and ruthless? He’s not normal. We should keep our distance from now on.”

She said softly, “Don’t worry, I’ve made things clear with him. He promised not to bother me anymore. We’ll both move on with our lives.”
Her calm reassurance finally eased everyone’s nerves.
Miriam stood up. “Aella, go take a shower and get some rest. Your father and I will fix lunch. Clyde will come get you when it’s ready.”
Sayer pushed her gently toward her room. “You must be exhausted. Get some sleep; I’ll call you when it’s time to eat.”
Aella smiled and patted his newly styled hair. “Mr. Locke, thank you for taking care of my

On the way home, she’d learned what had happened.

During the two days she was trapped on that island with Tyrone, Sayer had stayed with her parents the whole time.
Sayer worried Miriam might have a heart attack, so he slept on their couch both nights just to be safe.
Aella would never forget that kindness.
Sayer smacked Aella’s hand away. “I told you not to pat my head like I’m a dog!”
Aella chuckled. “Fine, I’ll invite Ms. Hill over next time. You can keep her company.”
Watching Sayer jump up and down in frustration, Aella laughed and closed the door behind her.
No matter how bad her day was, a long hot bath and her favorite cartoon pajamas always worked like magic. Once she curled up in bed, the heaviness in her chest started to fade.
