Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 106

Prunella hesitated for a moment.

She spoke softly, “Aella, your parents are getting older; your mom’s health isn’t great, and your brother is taking the SAT next year. If you decide to go head–to–head with Tyrone and burn every bridge, have you really thought about what it will cost? Can you afford it?”

Aella leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table, running both hands through her hair.

She knew exactly what it would cost to challenge Tyrone.

But she had no other choice.

Prunella sighed. “Aella, you still have your parents, your brother, your friends, your career, your whole future. Throwing away your best years in prison for a man? It’s just not worth it.”

After parting with Prunella, Aella wandered the streets alone for hours.

Every word made sense–but she couldn’t turn back.

The invisible wounds, the sleepless nights, the suffocating pain–they were worse than death.

If leaving Tyrone meant losing ten years of freedom, she’d take it anyway, as long as she could escape that prison of a marriage.

Determined to see her case through, Aella reached out to Patrick herself.

Over the phone, he refused to take her case. He wouldn’t even want to meet her.

Before hanging up, he gently hinted that she should give up.

Aella didn’t argue.

She spent the entire afternoon going from one law firm to another–four, five offices in total.

Not a single lawyer dared to take her divorce case, or the criminal case tied to it.

The faint hope in her eyes slowly gave way to despair.

This is Vleka, Tyrone’s territory.

I should have expected it.

That night, the air in Vleka bit like frost.

Aella stood by the roadside, pulling her coat tighter around her shoulders.

“Aella!”

Raine had lowered her car window and called out.

Aella heard that and looked up.

During their conversation, she learned that Virginia had fallen ill, outraged and heartbroken over Aella’s arrest.

Brad had shouted at Tyrone over the matter and was now in a silent standoff with him.

Even Raine herself had nearly been sent overseas by Tyrone.

Anyone who tried to help her had been crushed under Tyrone’s control.

As Aella and Raine talked, Aella’s phone rang.

It was Warren, voice tight with worry. “Aella, come home now–your mother’s been rushed to the ER!”

Skye clutched Aella’s coat, crying miserably. “Aunt Aella, I wanna see my dad … please …”

So that is it. Josh’s daughter is sick with leukemia, and Tyrone exploited their desperation.
