Miriam looked worried. “Last night, your father and I accidentally overheard your talk with Mr. Fulford.”
Aella comforted her. “Mom, everything’s been handled. Don’t worry too much.”
Miriam hesitated, studying her daughter. “If he really did all that for you, would you ever forgive him?”
Aella shook her head almost instantly.
She could fall for anyone, but not him.
Miriam sighed over and over. “I understand. You don’t have to go back to him. But for Virginia’s sake, maybe you could at least talk to him. Try to persuade him.”
Mother and daughter locked eyes. Aella’s eyes turned red.
She said softly, “Mom, I grew up with him. We’ve known each other for over twenty years and lived as husband and wife for three. No one but me knows how much I loved him and how much I depended on him.”
Her voice trembled. “But what I got in return was lies, betrayal, manipulation, coldness, and cruelty. I couldn’t leave, couldn’t break free. Those years were like living in hell.”

Aella didn’t call Virginia. Tyrone never came back to see her again.
Two days later, Zach’s body was cremated and buried. The Townsends didn’t inform anyone.
Later, Tyrone and Victor went to their house, offered compensation, and made sure everything looked proper on the surface.
On Thanksgiving, Aella went out to dinner with her family and Sayer–five people in total.
As they arrived at the restaurant and stood outside their private dining room, they unexpectedly ran into the Winters.
In the hallway, the two families faced each other, just a few steps apart.
Aella, graceful and composed, took the initiative. She greeted Virginia politely, then turned to lead her family into the room.
Raine watched Tyrone nervously. His eyes were fixed on Aella, lost in thought.
