Ralph’s voice shook the whole room. “The wedding’s in three days! Are you marrying Aella, or getting engaged to Ms. Guinevere?”

Tyrone stood in the middle of the living room, his expression unreadable, the exhaustion in his eyes impossible to hide.

He went quiet for a moment, then said flatly, “The wedding’s off. And there won’t be any engagement.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried the weight of finality.

Virginia stepped forward, her tone trembling. “Tyrone, this is your wedding. Everything’s ready. You can’t just cancel it. Tell us why.”

Ralph’s voice cracked like a whip. “Three days left, and you’re backing out now? Did the Reids demand more money?”

Tyrone’s brow furrowed. “No. They didn’t ask for anything. It’s my

Virginia’s lips parted, but she swallowed her words.

Ralph’s temper exploded.

choice.”

He pointed at Tyrone, his face burning red. “You say you’ll marry, and we move mountains for you. Then you change your mind, and we’re supposed to just nod? Do you have any sense of duty?”

His voice grew sharper. “You’re the family’s heir. You don’t get to think about yourself first!”

Tyrone’s tone turned cold. “So ‘thinking of the family‘ means I should throw away my own life for business?”

Ralph’s face twisted with anger.

Their voices clashed, each word cutting deeper than the last.

Then Edwin finally spoke, his tone sharp and commanding.

“There’s no going back. The venue’s ready. The guests have their invitations. You’ll go through

with it.”

His eyes hardened. “If you don’t, then I’ll take the stage that day myself and announce your engagement to Ms. Guinevere. Even if it will be a political marriage, so be it!”

When he finally spoke, his voice was low but sure. “Even if you do that, I won’t acknowledge it.”

Ralph’s anger boiled over. “How dare you talk back to us like that?” He turned toward the butler. “Bring The Punishment!”

He would not accept it. He could not understand, that his brilliant son was now something… foreign. Something he didn’t know.

The butler led the maids away to get The Punishment.

Ralph roared, “Now stand up straight, boy!”

Tyrone didn’t argue. He didn’t even flinch. He just slipped off his jacket and stood with his back straight as an arrow.

He was the one who had proposed the wedding.

Now he was the one calling it off. The mess was his to clean up.

Even if it meant he had to face his elders‘ rage head on.

Virginia rushed forward. “Stop it! Can’t we talk like normal people? You’re his father, not some tyrant!”

Ralph glared at her. “This is exactly why he’s soft! You’ve babied him his whole life!”

He turned back to Tyrone. “He needs to learn what it means to be an heir.”

The butler raised the whip. The sharp crack tore through the silence.

The strikes came fast. The sound echoed through the room as the white fabric of Tyrone’s shirt turned red in streaks.

Ralph lifted his hand. “Enough.”

He stared down coldly. “I’ll ask you one more time. Are you getting married or engaged?”

Tyrone raised his head. “Neither.”

He still stood tall.

His eyes moved from his father to his grandfather.

“There’s more than one heir in this family,” he said. “If you think I’m not fit, replace me.”

Ralph stormed forward and slapped him so hard the sound cracked through the air.

“How dare you! Say that again if you dare!”

Tyrone’s head snapped to the side. Blood welled at the corner of his mouth.

He wiped it off, his expression calm.

“I’ll say it a hundred times. It’s still true.”

His voice grew deeper. He faced his enraged father. Slowly, he said, “If you keep pushing me, if you drag the Reids into this, I’ll step down. I’ll walk away from all of it. I’m not the only son you

have.”

He grabbed his jacket and left the mansion without another word.

Edwin clutched his chest and sank onto the couch, gasping for air.

Ralph’s face twisted with fury. “That ungrateful boy!”

Virginia stayed quiet, her expression soft but her worry clear.

Ralph paced the floor. “Three days before the wedding, and now he refuses to marry or get engaged! What are we supposed to do?”

Virginia finally spoke. “Tyrone’s handled worse. You trusted him with the company. Then trust him to fix this too. Don’t interfere with his affairs.”

She had waited years for the Winter empire to belong solely to her children. She had suffered too much in this political marriage.

And she would never let anyone else take that from them.

Edwin finally caught his breath. His voice was low and cold.

“Find out everything about that Caldwell girl. If she crosses the line, you know what to do.”
