Once Cast-Off Wife Now Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Wounds and Accusations

Finished

Tyrone helped Zera back onto the hospital bed. He pulled up a chair and sat beside her. “You’re still hurt. Why did you get up?”

Zera’s face was pale, though she fought hard not to cry.

“Tyrone,” she whispered, “Raine only did that because she was standing up for your wife. Your wife must hate me now.”

Tyrone frowned. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure they apologize to you.”

Zera studied his expression carefully.

“I didn’t think Raine and your wife had such a huge misunderstanding about me. Raine called me a homewrecker, hit me, cursed me, and said I was spending your money. If your sister hates me this much, how much worse must your wife feel? If she had been the one to show up last night, she might have killed me.”

The sympathy in Tyrone’s voice was visible.

“Don’t be afraid, Zera. As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you or your son.”

Zera seized the moment, clutching his hand as tears finally spilled down her cheeks.

“It was selfish of me not to let you explain things to your wife, but I was terrified,” she said hurtfully.

“Six years ago, one word from your grandfather ruined our future. Even now, your grandfather and your parents could destroy me again.”

She said, “Your wife hates me so much. If she ever finds out what I went through these past six years, if she learns the truth about my son, she’ll tell everyone. Then your family will despise me even more and look down on me. If that happens, how could my son and I survive in this city? How could I ever face my family or my friends again? If I didn’t come to you, who else could I turn to?”

Tyrone spoke firmly, “Don’t worry. No one will ever know the truth about your child. I’ll take responsibility.”

He knew she had endured cruel suffering, forced to bear a child, while he married another woman–completely unaware of what she went through.

He owed her for that.

Zera went on. “Tyrone, I know my son and I have brought trouble to you and your wife. But I

can’t shake this fear. I’m so uneasy. I’m scared…

Tyrone stood and gently patted her back, trying to calm her. “Don’t let your mind run wild. Just focus on taking care of yourself. Leave the rest to me.”

Zera jumped on the chance and tightened her grip on his hand. “The whole thing started because of me. I can’t keep hiding behind you. I want to apologize to your wife and your sister. This city isn’t that big–we’ll run into each other again. I can’t let them keep misunderstanding

me.”

Tyrone quietly pulled his hand away. “You’re the one who’s hurt. They’re the ones who should apologize to you.”

Aella had been busy all morning. Time went by fast, but it felt full.

At noon, everyone else left to go home. The big break room was empty except for her.

She could have gone home too, but she didn’t want to make the trip.

Quietly, she sat by the window and didn’t touch the boxed lunch in front of her.

Tyrone pushed the door open. Aella only glanced at him, expressionless.

He sat across from her.

A table separated them. He looked at the untouched lunch, then at her small, delicate face.

She had put on makeup today and looked beautiful.

He liked her without makeup better–simple and pure, the kind of look that made him want to claim her.

Tyrone noticed how quiet she was; he remembered the scene from last night. Aella was holding a fruit knife at the door and begging him not to leave.

His gaze tightened with mixed feelings. He got up and walked over to her.

He reached for her arm and said, “You don’t like the cafeteria food. I’ll take you to a restaurant.”

Aella stayed in her chair, shifted away just a little to dodge his hand.

His hand hung in the air and then dropped.

He was quiet for a moment. Then, he pulled a chair next to hers and turned her body to face

her.
