Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 On the Edge

Aella shoved Tyrone away, her hair a mess, her voice sharp and wild. “Tyrone, if you dare walk out that door, I’ll kill myself!”

Tyrone bent down, lifted her into his arms, and carried her inside.

He couldn’t let her scream at the front door.

If reporters caught it on camera, the headlines would be a disaster.

Raine, shaken by what she saw, rushed in after them.

Tyrone set Aella on the sofa. She jumped up, grabbed a throw pillow, and hurled it at him. She looked like she was losing her mind.

Tyrone bent down, picked up the pillow, walked over, and set it down.

He turned to Raine. “Stay here and keep an eye on her.”.

That meant no matter how Aella acted out, he was leaving tonight.

When she heard him insist on leaving, Aella went into a daze.

“Arghhh!”

She slumped onto the sofa, powerless, and let out a sharp scream.

Raine, terrified, rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Aella.

She turned to Tyrone and berated, “Aella loves you so much, and you’ve driven her to this. Don’t you feel anything?” She cried.

“Shut up.” Tyrone’s eyes warned her.

“Stay here and watch her. If anything happens to Aella, I’ll hold you responsible.”

Raine wanted to challenge him.

But Tyrone had always dominated her for her whole life, and he controlled her pocket money.

She couldn’t risk it.

Tyrone glanced at Aella, exhausted, and began to turn away.

Aella shoved Raine aside, grabbed a small fruit knife from the fruit tray, and ran to the doorway.

She planted herself in front of the living room door to block him.

Tyrone stopped his pace.

Aella pressed the knife to her throat. Her lips trembled as she said, “Tyrone, give me your phone. If you

don’t, I’ll prove it-I’ll die.”

She looked like a gambler all in on one final bet.

Aella wouldn’t accept her defeat.

She wanted to bet that she still had a place in his heart.

Aella wanted to end it-wanted to see the ugly messages in his phone with her eyes.

She wanted to sever the last, fragile thread of love she had left for him.

Her eyes were wide, waiting for his decisive blow.

The room grew heavy with tension.

Tyrone’s phone buzzed again and again, each vibration fraying the silence.

Raine stood beside them, helpless and unsure what to do.

She knew there were problems between the couple, but she hadn’t imagined it had gotten this serious.

She’d never seen Aella lose control and lash out at her brother.

Tyrone stood before Aella; his gaze was complicated as he fixed it on the fruit knife in her hand.

He took a careful step forward. When the blade in her hand trembled, he stopped.

Tyrone didn’t cave in and Aella backed her phone. His voice was cold and sharp. “Your life is your own. If you want to end it, no one can stop you.”

His words cut like a knife, cruel and showing no hint of emotion.

Aella’s eyes locked on him, full of despair.

Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Raine stared at her brother, wide-eyed. She couldn’t believe what she saw. “Tyrone, can’t you see how broken she is? Can’t you say something kind for once?”

Tyrone shot his sister a warning glare, forcing her to keep quiet.

He stepped closer to Aella, testing the space between them.

“Aella,” he said, “before you do anything, think about your parents. They gave you everything so you could grow up safe and cared for. Now your dad’s still working at the factory as a consultant, even at his age. Your mom just got out of the hospital. And your little brother’s taking his SATs next year.”

His voice stayed hard. “If you die, the only ones you’ll hurt are your family. You won’t hurt me. You won’t hurt anyone else.”

Aella shut her eyes. She had given up all hopes.

Tyrone seized the moment, ripping the kitchen knife from her hand and pulling her into his arms.

The fruit knife clattered to the floor.

Her heart shattered with it.
