Even though Aella thought she was ready, hearing Tyrone say those words still hurt like a knife in her chest.

She stood to leave, but Tyrone grabbed her wrist. “Wasn’t it you who told Raine to cause trouble for Zera?”

So that’s what this was about–he had come to accuse her.

Aella’s anger rose like a flame. She forced herself to stay calm, not wanting to start a scene in public.

Finally, she admitted, “Yes, I told Raine to go.”

Raine had only done it to stand up for her.

But Tyrone cherished Zera so much; of course he would be furious.

Aella didn’t want Raine dragged into this mess, but apologizing?

That was impossible.

They stared at each other.

Tyrone’s eyes stayed fixed on her face.

He said quietly, “Since you admit it, go apologize to Zera.”

Aella’s eyes burned red with grievance.

She stood firm, her voice steady. “Tyrone, I don’t care how much you love her. You married me. As long as we’re still husband and wife, you and your first love are in the wrong. That child of yours is still illegitimate. And now you want me, your wife, to apologize to her? Do you even hear yourself?”

Tyrone’s gaze darkened. He wasn’t happy with her words. “Aella, that sounds harsh. Zera isn’t a homewrecker.”

Aella laughed bitterly. “Right. The one who isn’t loved is the real homewrecker, isn’t it?” Tyrone was silent.

The next second, Aella’s face went cold. “I’m the other woman, aren’t I?”

Tyrone rubbed his temples, exhausted by the whole situation. He stepped closer and comforted her, “Aella, that’s not what I meant.”

She backed away, avoiding his hand.

She looked him in the eye and asked, “Tyrone, if you love her that much, why not just divorce me and marry her? I could leave with nothing. I’ll even sign an IOU and am willing to step aside for the two of you.”

Tyrone’s face darkened, his stare locked on her with an unreadable weight.

“For now, I don’t plan to remove you from your place as Mrs. Winter.”

For now?

The words hit Aella’s heart like a blow.

They sounded so cold. So official.

As she stood there silently, Tyrone kept going.

“Zera emotions aren’t stable right now. If you apologize, it will calm her down. Otherwise, she’ll stay scared.”

The tenderness in his voice burned Aella’s heart like fire.

The more it hurt, the colder she became.

She said calmly, “If you want me, your useless lawful wife, to apologize to her, fine. But I’ll do it at a press conference, in front of reporters, for everyone to see. You want that, Mr. Winter?”

Mr. Winter.

Tyrone’s jaw tightened. He hated the way she called him. “Aella, I’m your husband.”

Aella turned her head away. “From the moment your first love and her kid came back, and you ran through the rain to pick them up from the airport, you stopped being my husband.”

Tyrone’s voice grew colder. “Aella, you know I hate being threatened.”

Her emotions slipped past her control, and her eyes filled with tears. “If you won’t agree to a press conference, then I’ll do it another way. I’ll walk out there in front of every doctor and nurse and apologize to her. I’ll say it loud and clear–that 1, Mrs. Winter, smashed the homewrecker’s home and sent her to the hospital out of jealousy, and now my husband is forcing me to apologize.”

She marched toward the door. Tyrone caught her by the waist, pulling her against him.

He didn’t let go right away.

“Aella, I’m trying to talk nicely to you,” he said. “Do you have to blow up every time?”
