Chapter 26 Raine Gets Herself in Trouble

Brad rubbed his forehead.

“Unbelievable. Witch! You’re actually more arrogant than me!”

Raine lifted her hand and slapped Zera. Not once, but twice.

The middle–aged maid hurried over, holding Zera as she stumbled backward.

Raine scanned the living room, her eyes landing back on Zera. “Since you’re spending Tyrone’s money. That means half of everything here belongs to my sister–in–law. If I help her take back her share, that’s only fair.”

Zera pressed a hand to her burning cheek and backed against the wall. “Ms. Winter, do whatever you want.”

Raine started smashing things. Anything in sight, she destroyed without hesitation.

Brad noticed Zera trying to record with her phone and stepped in. “Ms. Caldwell, sneaking around and stabbed someone in the back isn’t right.”

Zera quickly shut it off. “Mr. Keller, I was just scared. I didn’t mean anything by recording that video.”

When Raine turned toward Zera’s bedroom, Zera rushed to block her.

Raine shoved her aside and hurled a heavy metal hourglass straight at the crystal chandelier.

Glass shattered with a sharp crash.

Brad pulled Raine out of the way. Zera screamed, cut by flying shards, and collapsed onto the floor.

The maid screamed in panic and grabbed her phone to call the police,

Brad realized how serious things had become. He quickly sent a message to Tyrone.

After a moment of hesitation, he also sent one to Aella.

Late that night, Aella couldn’t hold herself together anymore.

The man she had loved since childhood–the husband she had chased for so many years–had looked her in the eye when she was ready to end her life. He told her calmly that if she died, it

She lay on the bed, lifeless, for what felt like forever.

Then she thought about her parents. Her younger brother.

Shaking, she pushed herself up and swallowed more than ten milligrams of melatonin.

She turned off her phone, crawled back into bed, and wished for a good sleep.

Aella wanted to block out the storm of feelings that was eating her alive. She just wanted one night of peace.

When her family was in her prime, she saw only Tyrone.

When they lost everything, she still saw only Tyrone.

Now, she was broken into pieces; all she could think about was still him.

She hated herself for it.

And she was exhausted.

The next morning, her body clock woke her on time. Aella washed her face, brushed her teeth, and put on light makeup. She dressed neatly, looking as if nothing had happened.

She didn’t have the luxury to nurse her wounds. Even if she could barely stand, she had to

stand tall.

Aella was no longer 17. Not the same little girl that would follow Tyrone around, begging him to buy her a hair tie.

She was no longer that girl who wore her heart on her sleeve, waiting by the door every night for him to come home.

From now on, she was herself.

Yesterday, Samuel told her a special patient would arrive today. Aella needed to be at her very best.

After finishing all the prep work for Samuel, she finally turned on her phone.

Missed calls and message alerts flooded the screen nonstop.

Most came in during the night–from Tyrone, Raine, and even Brad.

It wasn’t until she read Brad’s message that she realized Raine had gone to confront Zera last

But healing never came from others. It always started from within.

No one could save her but herself.

Still worried, Aella dialed Raine’s number.

Capital Hospital. Inpatient Ward.

Raine was in trouble. Tyrone was tearing into her while Brad leaned against the wall, enjoying the show.

Tyrone pointed at the door, his face dark. “Did Aella tell you to mess with Zera?”

Raine leaned back against the wall, unfazed. “Aella’s not that childish. She has something better to do.”

Tyrone’s eyes sharpened at his sister. He knew Raine too well.

She and Aella had grown up together.

Raine had a hot temper. Aella was clever and full of ideas.

Ever since they were kids, wherever Aella pointed, Raine struck.
