Aella said, “Only stray dogs bark before a storm. You might want to dial it back.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Zera watched Aella’s bold, confident figure fade into the distance, her gaze sharpening like knives.

If looks could kill, Aella would’ve dropped on the spot.

Zera’s fists clenched tightly, eyes bloodshot, jealousy and hatred boiling over inside her.

Once she was officially with Tyrone, she’d make sure to put Aella in her place and take down that old hag Virginia while she was at it.

On the morning of Zera’s birthday, after dropping Orson off at school, she went straight to Julian and Daphne’s house.

“Julian, Daphne, it’s my birthday today. I need a little help, spot me a few grand just to tide me over,” Zera said.

Daphne rolled her eyes. “After everything you’ve dragged us into, where the hell do you think we’d get that kind of money?”

Zera straightened up, her tone turning sharp.

She said proudly, “Tyrone already promised me, he said he’s giving me a once–in–a–lifetime gift today. If you won’t lend me a few grand now, don’t come begging for favors once we’re officially together.”

Julian and Daphne exchanged a look.

Julian turned to ask Shirley, “Mom, is that true?”

Shirley nodded quickly, clearly excited. “Mr. Winter divorced his wife for Zera. He treats her like gold, even in front of his ex. If you ask me, it looks like he’s about to go public with the relationship.”

Daphne perked right up. “Did Mr. Winter say what the gift is? Could it be a house? A luxury

car?”

Julian chimed in, “The Winters are Vleka’s top family, he’s gotta at least be giving her a check

worth a few million.”

The couple kept going, getting more hyped by the second.

Zera grinned and said, “Think big, what if Tyrone’s planning to propose to me tonight?”

The group burst into laughter, thrilled at the idea.

Shirley held Zera’s hand tightly. “When our daughter becomes the future Mrs. Winter, Julian, Daphne, and I are going to ride that wave–live in a villa, hire staff, buy whatever we want.”

Daphne quickly transferred 30,000 to Zera. “Zera, our whole family’s counting on you now.

them Once you marry Mr. Winter, you have to help your two nephews, send them abroad, get into elite schools, and eventually marry rich girls. That’s how you really make it.”

Zera beamed. “Mom, Julian, Daphne, just wait. I’ll bring you good news soon.”

With the money in hand, Zera walked out of their place full of pride.

By 8 p.m., she had used the 30,000 to transform herself from head to toe, new clothes, new accessories, full glam.

After carefully getting ready, she arrived at Regal Club, heading to the private suite on the second floor, just like Tyrone had told her.

When she opened the door, she saw Tyrone sitting there alone. No cake. No decorations. She couldn’t help but ask, “Tyrone, I thought you said we’d celebrate my birthday. Why’d you pick this place?”

Then it hit her—he must be planning a surprise. This was all part of the setup.

Tyrone calmly set his glass down. “The rooms here are soundproof. Makes it easier to get things done.”

Hearing that, Zera blushed instantly.

She hadn’t expected him to be this direct.

He’d just finalized the divorce, and already he couldn’t wait to sleep with her. If he wanted her that badly, she was ready to give him exactly what he wanted.

She scooted closer to him on the couch, her tone soft and flirtatious, but with a hint of pouty complaint.

“You’ve been ignoring me for weeks. Now, on my birthday, there’s not even a cake? If you didn’t bring me a gift tonight, then don’t even think about touching me,” she said.

Tyrone turned his head and looked at her. A frown crept across his face.

He stood up, stepping away from Zera’s wandering hands. “I’ve waited a long time for this day. There’s no way I wouldn’t prepare a special gift for you,” he said.

Zera couldn’t hide her excitement.
