Once Cast–Off Wife, Now Untouchable Queen

Chapter 45 The Auction Plan

Finished

His family run private hospitals all over the world. Daniel wasn’t one of their doctors, but he often came by for consultations on tough cases. That’s how Aella usually ran into him.

Daniel took one look at her and noticed the weariness on her face. “Working as Mr. Black’s assistant must be pretty stressful, huh?”

Aella gave a polite smile, hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Daniel, you know many people. Do you happen to know anyone from an auction house?”

Daniel pushed his glasses up his nose. “Are you looking to buy or sell?”

“I have a jewelry set,” Aella answered. “I’d like to get it appraised by a reliable auction company. If the price is right, I want to sell it.”

Daniel nodded. “I know a jewelry appraiser at Crownworth Auctions. I’m meeting him after work. Why don’t you come along? I’ll introduce you.”

Excitement brought color back to Aella’s cheeks. “Thank you, Daniel. I’ll see you after work.”

Having a clear goal made her feel alive again.

Once she sold the jewelry, she could finally divorce Tyrone and free herself from this miserable life.

Sure, she could’ve asked Raine or Brad for help–but they were too close to Tyrone.

She didn’t want any complications.

When work ended that evening, Aella walked out of the hospital lobby.

She didn’t see Daniel’s car first–she saw Tyrone.

He was walking toward her from the steps. Her expression turned cold at the sight of him.

Tyrone stopped in front of her, his voice calm and gentle. “I made a reservation at your favorite restaurant. Tell your parents not to wait up. I’ll take you home after dinner.”

Aella stepped aside to put some space between them. “Tyrone, having dinner with you only for you to ditch me halfway to meet your first love–I’ve experienced that once. That’s enough for a lifetime.”

His gaze locked on her, dark and complicated. He reached for her hand.

Aella quickly stepped back, slipped past him, and walked straight to Daniel’s car.

Tyrone stood frozen, watching her leave with another man. His chest tightened painfully.

A moment later, Zera walked out of the hospital, moving very cautiously.

When she reached him, she saw the dark, stormy look on his face and felt a pang of guilt.

“Tyrone,” she said quietly, “maybe I should talk to your wife. It’s easier for women to understand each other.”

Tyrone finally looked at her.

He shook his head. “No need. You don’t know her temper.”

Zera saw he wouldn’t allow it and quietly let it go.

Her voice trembled with hurt. “I’m sorry. I just want to forget the past and start over. If it were only me, I’d rather die than ever bother you again. But I’m a mother. The child is innocent. You understand that, don’t you?”

Tyrone saw how helpless she looked, and his tone softened. “I know it hasn’t been easy for you two. You’ve sacrificed a lot for me and suffered more than you should have. You’re a victim, but so is my wife. Your pain wasn’t caused by her, but her pain was caused by both of us.”

Zera nodded quickly, crying harder. “I know. I really do. It’s my fault. My son and I have been such a burden to you.”

Tyrone frowned slightly and said firmly, “You don’t need to say things like that to me. You’re not a burden. What you’ve gone through—this is a debt I owe you. But I’ll say this again: without my permission, don’t show up in front of my wife.”

Zera nodded again and again. “Don’t worry, I’ll do whatever you say.”

Then, her tone shifted, cautious and probing. “Since you faked that DNA test and your family already believes this child is yours, could you maybe … add his name to your paperwork? It would make school enrollment easier, and it would ease your family’s doubts.”

Tyrone’s face hardened. “Zera, I may feel guilty toward you, but I still have boundaries.”

Without another word, he turned and left, his mind in turmoil.

She followed him to his car, watching as he climbed in and drove off without once looking back.

His wife was already at the breaking point, yet he still refused to divorce.
