Noel hesitated for a moment before continuing, “According to our investigation, several neighbors and even Bruno’s relatives confirmed that during Ms. Caldwell’s marriage, she was abused not long after giving birth. The violence went on for four years.”
He went on, “During that time, she suffered three miscarriages from the beatings and was later diagnosed with depression. We’ve already obtained her medical and hospital records.”
Tyrone closed the folder slowly, then walked over to the liquor cabinet in the lounge and poured himself a glass of whiskey.
Noel followed him. “Four years ago, Bruno suddenly came into money, and the beatings stopped. But her hospital records from that year show that Ms. Caldwell’s depression hit rock bottom then.”
He continued, “A year later, Bruno overdosed and died. Even after that, Ms. Caldwell stayed at his family’s house. We’ve confirmed that during that time, her mother–in–law and sister–in–law constantly hit her and hurled insults at her.”
Noel added, “A year after that—just a few months ago–her mother–in–law tried to force her into another marriage. Not long after, Ms. Caldwell secretly took a gold bracelet from her sister–in–law, sold it, and used the money to buy a ticket back home.”
He finished, “We’ve checked every private account belonging to Ms. Caldwell, her mother, brother, and sister–in–law over the last six years. None of them shows any incoming transfers. Same with Bruno’s family–there hasn’t been a single transaction over 300,000.”
Tyrone’s expression darkened. His grip on the glass tightened until his knuckles went white.
Zera didn’t lie to me.
She came back because she had nowhere else to go; she was out of options.
That evening, in a small apartment complex in Southpolis.
After setting the table for dinner, Zera showered and changed into a new dress she’d just bought.
When a knock sounded at the door, she gave her mother, Shirley Caldwell, a look. Smiling, Shirley hurried over to open it.
As the door swung open, Tyrone stepped in. Orson ran straight to him, wrapping his arms around Tyrone’s leg. “Daddy!”

Tyrone’s gaze lifted to Zera.
Her face went cold as she snapped, “Orson, how many times have I told you? This is Tyrone. Don’t call people that.”
Her sharp tone made Orson burst into tears. “No! I want Tyrone to be my daddy!”
Shirley immediately turned on her daughter, jabbing a finger at her. “I worked myself to the bone to put you through college. You disappear for six years, come back with a kid out of wedlock–do you know how much shame you’ve brought on this family? What’s wrong with the boy wanting a father? If you can’t give him a proper life, then why have him at all?”
Zera went pale, stumbling back a few steps.
She clutched her head as if the words physically hurt. “Mom, please, stop yelling at me!”
Tyrone’s expression hardened. He walked over and gently guided Zera to the couch.
Seeing that, Shirley quickly took Orson’s hand. “Come on, sweetheart, let’s go to the store. I’m gonna buy you a toy.”
After they left, Tyrone poured Zera a glass of water.
