Tyrone slowly reached out and held Aella’s hand. His throat tightened, and his eyes were wet.

“I’ll cut ties with Zera,” he said hoarsely. “I’ll never hurt you again.”

He looked at her with desperation. “As long as you don’t file for divorce or move out, I’ll agree to anything you ask. I’ll wait for the day you forgive me.”

Inside the walk–in closet, they stood close, staring into each other’s eyes.

Aella hesitated for a moment. “Tyrone,” she said softly, “I’m still going to end this marriage. But until the divorce is done, we can stay in the same house.”

Before Tyrone could speak, she added, “But I have conditions.”

“Anything,” he said quickly.

“I’ll sleep in the main bedroom,” Aella said calmly. “You take the couch. We stay out of each other’s way.”

The baby was gone. The elders already knew Zera’s son wasn’t Tyrone’s.

Edwin had been so furious that he ended up in the hospital. The old man loved his grandson–but not her.

Once that old man woke up, Aella knew she’d be the first one he’d question.

great-

Things had come this far, but Tyrone still refused to divorce. If she fought him head–on, she’d be the one to lose.

Tyrone looked at her. Aella’s eyes were cold and distant. “Whatever you want,” he said.

He believed time could heal everything.

As long as Aella stayed by his side, he would do whatever it took to make her forget the

past and

start over.

Meanwhile, across town in a downtown condominium, Zera was on the phone with Jenny.

She bragged that Virginia, that old hag, had suddenly turned nice and offered her a place to live. Just then, the doorbell rang.

Zera opened the door and froze.

It was late at night; Virginia had showed up at the door with two bodyguards.

Zera quickly invited her in and told her son to bring water for their guest.

She sneaked a glance at the bodyguards standing by the door, then walked cautiously toward Virginia.

Zera spoke carefully, testing the waters. “Mrs. Winter, did Edwin agree to let Orson join the family?”

Virginia’s lips curved into a faint, unreadable smile.

Zera watched her closely. Her heart racing with excitement, she could barely contain it.

Before Virginia could answer, she nudged her son. “Orson, hurry up and thank your grandma.”

Before the boy could speak, Virginia cut in sharply. “You seriously thought the son you had with your ex–husband could become a Winters? You sure have the nerve to dream big.”

Boom! Zera’s mind went blank.

She stared at Virginia, frozen in disbelief.

How did this old hag find out the truth about her son’s birth?

Standing there, guilt was written all over her face.

Trying to sound innocent, she said, “Mrs. Winter, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Virginia raised a brow. “Tyrone already confessed. You can drop that act.”

Zera’s eyes

flickered nervously. She forced herself to keep calm.

“Mrs. Winter, there must be some misunderstanding. You’ve seen the DNA report. If you still don’t believe it, you can have them tested again.”

Virginia nodded. “You’re right.”

As soon as she finished, two bodyguards stepped forward. They grabbed Zera and her son separately. Then, they quickly plucked a few strands of Orson’s hair.

The boy cried out loud, kicking and punching in fear. “My dad’s rich! He’ll kill you for this!”

Zera panicked at this.

She quickly covered her son’s mouth and pulled him behind her, terrified.

Her eyes darted to the strands of hair in the guard’s hand. Losing control, she lunged forward
