She and Raine walked to the aisle that stored feminine products. While Raine started picking through items on one shelf, Aella moved to another aisle.

That’s when she saw him.

Tyrone was there. He stood there, dressed in a sharp business suit, holding a pack of pads in one hand and his phone in the other.

Aella could hear his voice clearly.

“Zera, which brand do you usually use? Maybe I’ll just grab a few for you.”

His tone was so gentle that it hurt.

The crisp suit he wore only made him look more like the perfect husband.

Aella’s heart twisted. In three years of marriage, the only time she’d asked Tyrone to buy her pads. Back then, Tyrone hadn’t even bought the pads himself. He told Aella to order them online-“Buy more so you don’t have to worry about it later.”

In the end, it was his female assistant who bought them and dropped them off at their house.

And now, after everything that had happened between them, after all the shouting, crying, and heartbreak, Tyrone actually left her alone at home.

He called his sister to watch her while he rushed out just to buy pads for Zera.

Aella’s vision went black. She nearly collapsed.

“Aella!”

Raine ran over just in time to catch her.

Hearing his name, Tyrone turned around, and his eyes met Aella’s. Her gaze was empty, full of pain and despair.

He dropped what he was holding and walked toward her.

“Tyrone!” Raine snapped. “What are you doing?!”

He shot her a warning look, then stepped closer to Aella, his tone careful. “Why did you come

out?”

Before his hand could even touch her sleeve, she screamed and jerked away. “Don’t touch me!”

Tyrone didn’t dare push her further when she was worked up.

Aella wrapped her arms around herself, backing away like someone cornered and terrified.

She stared at him as if he were a stranger. Aella felt like she couldn’t breathe, as if the man in front of her had just crushed the last piece of her heart.

She couldn’t stay there another second.

Aella shoved him aside and ran away.

Tyrone’s chest tightened as he saw Aella running toward the glass elevator. His heart dropped, and he rushed after her.

“Aella!” he shouted.

He caught up and blocked her at the elevator doors. “Where do you want to go? I’ll take you,” he pleaded.

But she had lost all control. Her emotions were spiraling.

Ignoring the stares of strangers around them, she twisted and fought, her voice breaking through the store. “Help me!”

That single cry shattered Tyrone’s breath. His chest ached as if something had caved in.

Raine finally reached them, panting, her heels clicking on the floor. She pulled Aella close, shielding her. “Tyrone, let her go!” she snapped. “Can’t you see she doesn’t want you touching her?”

Brad walked over with a bottle of water in his hand. He froze at the scene. “Tyrone, aren’t you…

?”

He glanced at the aisle behind Tyrone, the section stacked with women’s products. He put down his water bottle, scratching his head in frustration.

When Aella saw Brad, it was like seeing a lifeline, Tears spilled down her face as she pleaded, “Brad, please get me out of here!”

Brad dropped his shopping bag and rushed over to help her. Tyrone wouldn’t let go.

He shoved Brad aside with one hand and wrapped his arm around Aella’s waist. “I’ll take her

home.”

Furious, Brad shoved him back and grabbed for Aella. “Can’t you see she doesn’t want to see you?”

Raine was so anxious that she was nearly crying. She pushed at her brother. “Aella had a panic attack because of you! Can’t you just let her go?”

The chaos closed in. Aella couldn’t take it anymore.

She struggled with every ounce of strength she had, breaking free of both Tyrone and Brad.

But the moment she freed herself, she lost her balance.

Tyrone realized what was happening, but he was a second too late. “Aella!”

People around them gasped and screamed as Aella tumbled down the escalator.

She was rushed to the ER.

By some miracle, two men had been on the escalator below and managed to catch her, breaking the fall.

Aella ended up with only bruises and scrapes.
