150 What Love Leaves Behind

After Edwin finished, Justin helped him back to his room.

Ralph glanced at Aella with open disgust. “You’re supposed to be the Winters‘ lady of the house, and you can’t even handle one woman? Pathetic.”

When Ralph left, Virginia walked over to Tyrone.

“Tyrone, by choosing to tie yourself to Zera, you’ve already given up on Aella. For the sake of the 20 years you and Aella spent growing up together, just let her go.”

Tyrone’s face darkened, his anger simmering beneath the surface.

Virginia pressed harder. “You don’t love her, you can’t protect her, and you can’t even give her the basic respect a husband should. She’s already stepped aside for your so–called love, yet you still keep her here. What do you even want?”

“Mom, say whatever you want–I’m not divorcing Aella!”

Tyrone’s voice cracked with emotion as he turned and stormed out of the house, like he couldn’t breathe.

He drove through the night, speeding straight to the hospital. By the time he arrived, Aella had already been moved into a room.

Brad came out just as Tyrone reached the door, looking lost. Brad pointed toward an empty ward nearby. “We need to talk.”

The two men stepped inside.

The moment Tyrone shut the door, Brad’s fist came flying.

With a heavy thud, Tyrone took the punch full on.

When Brad swung again, Tyrone caught his arm. “Brad, enough!”

Brad shoved him back hard. “You swore in front of Aella that you’d live and die with Zera! Did you ever stop to think how she felt?”

Brad’s voice rose. “Aella took a whipping and knelt for over an hour just to help you two, and you were busy protecting Zera. And you still dare say there’s nothing between you?”

Tyrone leaned against the end of the hospital bed, wiping the blood from his lip.

He spoke slowly, each word cold and heavy. “That kid isn’t mine. You know that. There’s

nothing between me and Zera. I just wanted to stop Edwin from going after her.”

Brad let out a sharp laugh. “That’s exactly what makes you worse.”

He stepped closer. “Zera says she’s doing all this for her kid. You say you’re doing all this for Zera because of the kid. You two bend over backward for each other–if that’s not love, what is?”

Brad glared at him. “Tyrone, we grew up with Aella. If I let you keep hurting her like this, I don’t deserve to call her my friend.”

His voice hardened. “You hurt her for Zera, for some child that isn’t even yours. You don’t deserve to be her husband.”

With that, Brad turned and slammed the door behind him.

Tyrone stood alone in the empty room for a long time.

Six years ago, he had loved Zera. He’d even thought about marrying her.

But six years had passed. Deep down, he knew–he didn’t love her anymore, and he never would.

He couldn’t accept her, not in his heart, or in his bed.

Zera had destroyed her own life for him, and he was only keeping a promise he once made.

His silence and so–called protection had made Aella misunderstand–and suffer. :

But he had never betrayed their marriage, and he never would.

From the moment he married her, he’d decided it was for life.

He had fought so hard to bring Aella back into his life. There was no way he’d ever let her go.

After collecting himself, Tyrone opened the door to Aella’s room.

She lay on her side with her eyes closed, quietly hooked up to an IV.

Justin hadn’t struck her with full force, but the whip still burned across her skin. She had barely managed to endure it.

She thought about how Tyrone had once taken lashes for Zera–each one deep enough to bleed. He really had loved Zera to the bone.

Aella could sense Tyrone standing beside the bed, but she didn’t want to speak.

Tyrone knew she was awake. He just stood there, staring at her in silence.
