She calmed herself, then said to Tyrone slowly, word by word, “Son, betrayal comes in many forms. Emotional betrayal counts too.

“The moment you acknowledged Zera’s son as your own, everything was already doomed. You lost Aella’s baby because of it. Soon, you’ll lose Aella too.

“Last night, your grandfather found out that you caused the loss of his great–grandchild because of that boy. He was so furious he had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital.

“You’d better end your marriage with Aella before he wakes up. Move in with Zera and her boy. That way, maybe–just maybe–you can still protect them.”

Virginia turned and saw Brad standing at the door. She left the study quietly.

Tyrone sank into the couch, his whole body weighed down by anger and regret. His emotions trembled at the edge of collapse.

Brad noticed Tyrone’s shaking hands struggling to light a cigarette. He took the lighter, clicked it for him, and passed it back.

The room was dim. Tyrone sat with his back to the light. His sharp features were hidden in the shadows. He took a hard drag, the smoke rising between them.

After a long silence, he finally asked, “You came to talk me into getting divorced too?”

Brad gave him a look. He sat across from him. “Aella didn’t even think twice to end her pregnancy. That was her way of saying she’s done with you. Do I really need to convince you now?”

Tyrone lost control at this.

He hissed, “There are plenty of men who cheat, and their families still hold together! I just helped Zera. I agreed to claim her son out of kindness. Why is everyone treating me like a criminal?”

Tyrone slammed his fist on the couch arm. “I know Aella’s angry. I know her temper. Once she recovers, I’ll make it up to her. I’ll cut Zera off completely. As long as I don’t get divorced, Aella

and I can start over.”

Brad stared at him and asked, “You hurt Aella over and over. You made her cry, you made her lose her child. You keep talking about making it up to her–but with what?”

Tyrone’s voice dropped low. His eyes were dark and stubborn. “We have a lifetime ahead. I’ll make her forgive me.”

Brad let out a short, mocking laugh. “You and Aella will never have a lifetime.”

He put down the lighter, rolled up his right sleeve, and picked up a glass from the coffee table.

Brad gripped the rim tightly and slammed the bottom of the glass against the table.

Tyrone looked up as Brad let go.

The next second, the glass shattered–pieces scattering across the table.

Brad pointed at the shards on the coffee table. “Even if you had all the power in the world, could you ever put that glass back together?”

Tyrone’s face darkened. His lips pressed into a tight, grim line.

Brad said, “Even if you glue that cup back together with the best materials, even if you melt it down and remake it, will it ever be the same cup again?”

Tyrone opened his mouth, breathing hard.

Brad went on, “A broken rope will always have a knot, no matter how you tie it. People who say a shattered mirror can be made whole again, they’re lying to themselves.”

He looked straight at Tyrone and said, “Making peace is easy. It’s impossible to turn everything back to the way it was. The wall between you two–you built it yourself. It’s a gap you’ll never cross. Even if you stay married, you’ll never get close to her again.”

After Brad left, Tyrone stayed alone in the study for a long time.

Virginia’s and Brad’s words kept echoing in his head. He couldn’t think straight.

In the coming days, Virginia, Raine, and Emma took turns caring for Aella, staying up late to comfort her. Thanks to their help, Aella’s health recovered quickly.

By Sunday night, Aella said to Virginia, “All three of you should go back to the estate. I’m returning to work at the hospital tomorrow.”

Virginia agreed, and the trio left together.

Once everyone was gone, Aella took a shower and laid out her clothes for tomorrow.

Maybe it was because she’d been bedridden for too long–after a few steps, her body went weak.

Before she could fall, Tyrone was suddenly behind her, catching her by the arm.
