Tyrone looked at Zera and said coldly, “Zera, you couldn’t fit into my life six years ago. You definitely can’t now. Take Orson and live your life. That’s the only way out for you.”

When he finished, he got in his car and drove away.

At the same time, downtown Vleka’s night market was buzzing.

Sixer jogged over with a cup of bubble tea and held it out to Aella.

He crouched beside the car door, loyal and concerned, and asked, “Aella, are you okay? Want me to beat him up for you?”

Aella wiped the tears from her face, stuck a straw in the drink, and took a big sip.

“Don’t,” she said quietly. “I’m fine.”

No one knew Tyrone’s strength better than she did.

Brad-who’d won both kickboxing and taekwondo championships at an elite MMA club- couldn’t even last a round against Tyrone.

Sixer was barely in his twenties, just a kid. No matter how tough he thought he was, he wasn’t a match for Tyrone.

“Mr. Locke,” Aella said calmly, “please take me to Webster Manor.”

Late that night, at Webster Manor.

The butler led Sixer and Aella into the living room.

Aella politely greeted Leland.

Leland glanced at the antique quartz clock on the wall. “Dr. Reid,” he said, “what brings you and Mr. Locke to my place at such a late hour?”

Aella spoke directly. “Mr. Webster, I had a fight with my husband tonight. I’d like to stay for a couple of days.”

Tyrone was having an affair. Although their discussions about divorce may not have been public, it was no secret among Vleka’s upper circles. She saw no point in pretending.

Leland rejected flatly, “Married couples fight, but they always make up. If you don’t want to go home, I can arrange a hotel or a resort for you.”

Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the second floor. “Grandpa, she’s my guest. I’ll take care of it.”

Aella looked up and saw Victor by the railing.

She gave Sixer a look. He understood and left. Aella climbed the stairs, her heels clicking against the marble.

Victor’s sharp gaze swept over her tear-stained eyes. “Did he upset you again?” he asked dryly.

Aella squatted beside his wheelchair with a hurtful expression and nodded seriously.

“Victor,” she said, “Tyrone lied to me. He said he had a business dinner, but he was actually with his lover. And I caught them red-handed.”

Victor’s lips twitched into a faint smile.

After spending time with Aella, he’d learned her moods well.

When she treated his injuries, she was the boss.

When they hung out, she called him Mr. Vic.

But whenever she needed something, she suddenly switched to the sweet Victor.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, how long are you planning to hide here?”

Aella thought for a moment. “A week,” she said.

Tyrone had been suspicious for days. He didn’t believe Aella’s claim that she’d been sick with a cold. He thought her nausea might be pregnancy symptoms.

To throw him off, Aella used a little trick and told him she was on her period.

But Tyrone had tested her twice since then. His eyes said it all; he didn’t buy it.

So tonight’s drama was the perfect cover. She could use it as an excuse to hide at Webster Manor for a week and avoid Tyrone’s test.

Victor fell deep in his thought and didn’t give an answer. Aella quickly added, “Victor, if I’m too upset, it might slow down your recovery. If it really bothers you, I’ll just stay five days-only five.”

Victor gave her a sideways glance. “With your fragile nerves, if you were in a business negotiation, you’d lose your whole family fortune in ten minutes.”

Aella didn’t argue. He was right.

She was usually sharp, but when it came to dealing with people like Brad and Victor, she always seemed stupid compared with them.

She couldn’t outplay them at poker or in mind games.

Victor sighed. “As long as I’m here, you can stay here as long as you want.”

Aella patted her chest, relieved. “Thank you.”

“Need me to send someone to grab your stuff?” Victor asked.

Aella shook her head. “No need, Mr. Vic. I’ll handle it myself.”

She planned to wait until tomorrow, when Tyrone went to work and the house was empty. Aella would sneak back to pack a few clothes.

Her phone buzzed in her pocket. One glance at the screen, and she hung up immediately.

Late night, Bluehaven.

Tyrone came home and found the house empty. Aella was nowhere to be seen.

He called her. She hung up.

Tyrone texted her. She didn’t reply.

Frustrated, Tyrone lit a cigarette.

After a few minutes, he headed to the eleventh floor.
