Aella and Raine had hired the male escorts just for fun–and it wasn’t even their credit card they were using.

Aella reached over and took away the full bottle of wine in front of Raine. “Raine, I haven’t seen Brad around lately. Where’s he been?”

Raine scratched her head. “Oh, him? His family’s been pushing him to get married. He ran off overseas to hide for a while.”

Aella nodded. That made sense.

Raine was two years younger–24.

Brad was the same age as Tyrone, exactly 30.

Raine had a straight–shooting personality. Every guy around her was just another buddy.

Brad’s parents had been pressuring him to settle down, but he kept escaping abroad. He wasn’t interested in anyone and swore he’d never marry.

Still, he spoiled Raine. Both families secretly hoped the two would end up together.

But Raine always said she wouldn’t even think about marriage until she turned 30. Brad said he still had plenty of fun left before he’d ever settle down.

The two of them were close–almost like siblings.

So close that their family doesn’t know what to do about them.

Watching Raine surrounded by handsome escorts, laughing her heart out, Aella felt a strange knot tighten in her chest.

She wanted to ask how Raine really felt about Brad but didn’t know how to start.

After a moment’s hesitation, Aella crooked her finger, motioning Raine closer.

Those escorts around them stood up and walked away. Raine straightened her back, folding her arms and sitting up properly. Aella suddenly felt a chill behind her.

She followed Raine’s line of sight and froze. Tyrone was standing there like a statue, his expression unreadable.

Aella pursed her lips. She calmly poured herself a glass of wine and took a slow sip.

Raine, clearly nervous, got up and stammered, “Uh, Tyrone, don’t be mad at Aella. It’s my fault. I was thirsty and came in for a drink.”

Tyrone pointed toward the door. “The car from the estate is waiting outside. Go home. Now.”

Raine grabbed her bag and bolted.

As Tyrone looked around the room, he noticed several lecherous eyes darting away. His face darkened as he asked coldly, “Are you leaving on your own, or do I have to carry you out?”

Aella rolled her eyes, picked up her bag, and walked out.

At the curb outside the bar, Tyrone stopped her.

“It’s late,” he said quietly. “Let me drive you home.”

Aella blinked, surprised. He wasn’t forcing her this time.

She stopped and turned to face him.

Aella said softly, “We’ve known each other for over 20 years, and this is what we’ve come to. Keeping this up feels pointless, doesn’t it?”

Tyrone stepped closer and carefully reached for her hand.

“Then what do you want to do?” he asked.

Aella looked at him, her eyes calm and distant.

She pulled her hand away. A sarcastic smile on her lips. “You make it sound like what I want actually matters.”

Tyrone stared at her without blinking.

“Aella,” he said quietly, “don’t look at me like that, please.”

She met his gaze, unwavering.

“What I’m doing to you now is nothing compared to what you did to me.”

Losing control, Tyrone gripped her shoulders tightly.

“I know I was wrong,” he said, his voice trembling. “Just give me another chance!”

Aella laughed.

Her eyes curved as she smiled.

“Another chance?” she asked. “So you can buy Zera another house and keep her hidden away like before?”

Tyrone felt all of his strength had left him and let go of her shoulders. “You knew?”

Aella stepped back, putting space between them.

“Don’t look so miserable,” she said calmly. “If someone saw you now, they’d probably think you actually love me.”

Tyrone’s eyes turned red. He blurted out, “What if I do love you?”

Aella laughed again.

She laughed until her chest hurt, then finally caught her breath and asked, “Do you even know what love is?”

They stood in silence on the empty street, night wind brushing past them.

Then Aella began to speak, her voice quiet but steady.
