When Tyrone still didn’t move, Zera dropped to the ground in front of him. “Tyrone, do you really want to see me die because of your family? Please, I’m begging you! I’m terrified.” She sobbed.

Her tears finally pulled him back to his senses.

She was right. With Virginia there, Aella would be safe.

Still, to be sure, he needed to get Zera out of harm’s way first.

Tyrone helped her up. “Come on. I’ll drive you home.”

Tyrone drove Zera to the entrance of the apartment complex she was renting.

When she saw that he’d stopped at the gate and had no intention of going in, she hesitated before unbuckling her seat belt.

She gripped the door handle and turned toward him.

“Tyrone, tonight was all my fault,” she said softly. “I’ll buy Aella a new outfit another day and apologize properly.”

Tyrone was clearly distracted.

He tugged at his collar, his tone impatient. “Just throw the clothes away. I’ll explain to Aella. Don’t worry about it.”

Zera’s eyes flickered uneasily. “I can’t just ignore it. I was wrong to wear her things. Aella didn’t make things hard for me. She even spoke up for me. I should apologize.”

Feeling suffocated, Tyrone rolled down both windows for air.

Seeing that, Zera sighed and stepped out of the car.

Before she left, she added deliberately, “Tyrone, Aella’s a good woman. Women are actually easy to please. You just have to show you care. Don’t always keep that cold face. Go home and be nice to her. She’s probably back by now. You should check on her.”

Tyrone looked at her, his expression unreadable.

“Everything I said tonight was just to keep Grandpa from hurting you and Orson. Don’t

overthink it.”

Zera’s hands clenched at her sides, but she forced a smile. “You don’t have to remind me. No

matter what people say, there’s nothing between us. My conscience is clear.”

Tyrone nodded once. “Go get some rest.”

She watched his car merge onto the main road, the smile on her face twisting into something bitter.

After everything that had happened, Tyrone’s attitude was painfully clear. He would protect her, but he would never want her.

He was holding on to his marriage. Even if Aella let go first, he still refused to divorce.

And those stubborn old folks from the Winter family–they’d rather see Tyrone remarry let her through the door.

What had she done wrong?

Why did everyone look down on her?

What was she supposed to do now?

Late that night, Tyrone returned to Bluehaven.

By now, Aella should have been home.

After all, she was his wife, the lady of the Winter family. Edwin shouldn’t make things too hard for her.

But the image of her pale face and trembling smile wouldn’t leave his mind, filling him with

unease.

He was about to step into the elevator when Brad came out.

Their eyes met. Tyrone blocked his way.

Brad shoved him hard. “Aella’s in trouble. Move!”

Soon after, Tyrone and Brad arrived at the Winter Estate at the same time.

Raine ran up to him in tears. “Brad, you’re finally here! Grandpa punished Aella—she’s been made to kneel on the floor and isn’t allowed to get up.”

Before she could finish, Tyrone was already sprinting into the living room.

Edwin glanced at him and motioned for Justin to clear the room. Justin quietly led the guards

out.

Tyrone walked carefully over to Aella and bent down to help her to her feet.

Brad shoved him aside. “I’ll take her to the hospital.”

Both men reached for her at once.

Aella’s back was covered in lash marks, and she’d been kneeling for hours. Her face was ghost- white, her whole body trembling.

She lifted her heavy eyelids to look at Tyrone.

Her voice was barely a whisper. “I’m fine. Go take care of her.”

Their eyes met. Tyrone’s chest clenched, his hand frozen in midair.

Aella turned to Brad, her lips trembling and her eyes red with pain.

Brad gently picked her up. “Remember this, Aella–the ‘Tyrone‘ you loved died the night Zera came back.”

He glared at Tyrone. “The man standing here is Zera’s husband and her child’s father. He’s got nothing to do with you anymore.”

Aella closed her eyes and let her head fall weakly against Brad’s shoulder. She gave a faint “mm.”

That tiny sound hit Tyrone’s heart like a hammer, heavy and unrelenting.

Brad carried her out toward the hospital.

Tyrone stayed where he was, his chest burning.

Then he turned to Edwin, his voice shaking with anger. “Grandpa, she’s my wife! How could you punish her like that?”

Edwin’s tone was cold. “She married into this family. That makes her one of us. As the Winters‘ lady of the house, she let an outsider cause chaos. That’s her failure. As long as you refuse to divorce her, she’ll bear the consequences.”
