Before Virginia could confirm if that child was truly her grandson, she decided not to meet Zera just yet.

She turned to her daughter. “Raine, Aella, and your brother are having marriage problems. Spend more time with her, talk to her, and help her through this.”

Raine had been eavesdropping outside the study and heard everything. “Mom, I understand,” she said quietly.

Back in her room, Raine couldn’t calm down.

Her chest was tight with worry. She feared her brother might lose his mind, actually divorce Aella, and bring Zera and her kid into the family.

Unable to shake the worry, Raine called Aella.

The phone kept ringing in Aella’s bag, but she didn’t

ven look at it. She wasn’t in the mood to talk.

From the moment they got into the car, Tyrone had held her in his arms. No matter how much she cried or struggled, he refused to let her go.

They fought the entire ride. Both of them looked drained and disheveled.

Through the window, Aella spotted a pharmacy sign on the street. A sudden thought hit her. “I need to use the restroom,” she said.

Tyrone told the driver to pull over. He helped straighten her clothes and whispered, “I’ll go with you.”

They got out. He didn’t let go of her hand.

At the entrance of the pharmacy, Aella stopped. “Don’t worry,” she said calmly. “For the sake of my family, I won’t do anything foolish.”

Tyrone’s eyes stayed on her face for a long moment before he slowly released her hand.

Aella walked inside. She went straight to the counter and asked the clerk for emergency birth control.

The staff took one look at her messy hair, red eyes, and pale face. The woman asked gently if she wanted her to call the police.

Aella thanked her, paid for the pills, and left.

When she walked out, Tyrone’s eyes went straight to the box in her hand. His expression darkened even

more,

He didn’t say a word. He just took her hand and led her back to the car.

The car rolled forward. The doors locked automatically.

Tyrone reached for the pills. “Give them to me,” he ordered.

Chapter 37 The Bitter Pill

Aella pushed his hand away, tore open the box, and took the pills out. She threw the empty box at him,

She popped the pills into her mouth and swallowed them with the bottle of water he had just opened for her.

The next second, Tyrone clamped her jaw and forced his fingers down her throat, making her gag until she spat the pills back out.

His face was terrifying, shadowed with fury. Without saying a word, he took care of her–patting her back and handing her tissues and water.

Aella couldn’t stop coughing and gagging. It took her a long time to finally catch her breath.

The moment she caught her breath, she threw herself at him, pounding his chest with her fists. “Tyrone, give me back my pills!”

He gripped Aella’s wrists tightly, forcing her to meet his eyes. “Do you really not want to have a child with me?”

Last night, he hadn’t used any protection. There was a high chance she could be pregnant.

Maybe, he thought, if they had a baby, it could shift her focus and ease her pain.

But Aella yanked her hands free, ignoring the sharp sting in her wrists. “Tyrone, I’m begging you—stop pretending! The woman you love has already given you a son. You treat them like your whole world. Don’t stand here and put on this act with me! I can’t take it anymore!”

Tyrone stared at her as she broke down, not knowing what to say.

His voice came out low and rough. “Aella, it’s not what you think.”

Her tears fell fast, but suddenly she laughed, the sound sharp and broken. “Not what I think? Then what is

it?”

“You said the one you wanted to marry was Zera, not me. Did I hear that wrong?

“You said your grandpa broke you two apart, that you’re miserable with me. Did I hear that wrong too?

“You admitted that the child is yours. Was that also my imagination?”

“And you told your grandpa and father you’d take full responsibility for Zera and her son, even if it meant using your family and the company to threaten them. Tyrone, tell me, was I wrong to hear that too?”

By the end, Aella was shaking uncontrollably, her voice breaking. “I don’t want this marriage. I don’t want a husband like you! I don’t want this!”

Tyrone pulled her into his arms, trying to calm her down, rubbing her back in desperation. “Aella, forget what you heard at the study. Forget it.”
