Aella lifted her head slightly and looked into Tyrone’s eyes. “When I was dying inside, you thought I was being dramatic. You thought I was acting out. Every time you looked at me like it didn’t matter, it hurt worse than death.”

Tyrone felt her pain hit him full force. He wanted to pull her into his arms, but his feet felt like they were weighed down with lead.

Aella turned to face him completely.”

She locked her gaze on his and spoke slowly, word by word. “Do you remember the day we came back from our honeymoon and went to the estate together?”

Tyrone’s throat tightened. “I remember,” he said hoarsely.

“I heard what you said to your father that day,” Aella told him.

Tyrone’s eyes flickered in guilt. He muttered her name, “Aella …

She repeated his words back to him. “You said helping my family after we went bankrupt would give you both fame and fortune.”

Tyrone stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders. “Aella, stop-”

But she didn’t. Instead she continued, “You said marrying me was just a business decision, that you settled for me because you had no better choice.”

Tears finally rolled down Aella’s face.

Tyrone pulled her into his arms, his heart twisting painfully until it hurt to breathe.

Aella didn’t resist. She leaned quietly against his chest and spoke in a muffled voice. “From that day on, I stopped acting spoiled. I never dared to misbehave. I tried so hard to please you, watching every move I made in front of your family. I was scared you’d hate me. Scared you’d leave me.”

She looked up at him with red eyes. “Tyrone, I haven’t been that proud, spoiled heiress for a long time. Didn’t you ever notice?”

The hospital garden was quiet that morning.

A few people walked by and couldn’t help but glance at the beautiful couple.

Tyrone in his tailored suit, holding Aella in her white dress. From the outside, they looked perfect together.

But anyone who got close would see the sorrow in his eyes and the tear stains on her face.

Their marriage was the same. Perfect on the outside. Broken on the inside.

Aella slipped out of his arms.

She wiped her face dry and looked at him. “It was this three–year loveless marriage that killed who I used to be. I don’t blame you. I don’t even hate you. It was my choice.”

Tyrone stood frozen, lips pressed tight, staring at her pale, fragile face.

Aella spoke gently and persuaded him. “Your true love is back. You have a son now. You’ve found your happiness. I’ve also found a way to pay you back the money. Let’s just end this peacefully. Please, let’s get divorced.”

Their eyes met, both filled with tears.

Tyrone’s veins stood out on his forehead as he forced himself to stay calm. His fists clenched at

his sides.

He said quietly, “Aella, “I’ve been helping Zera and her son lately, but I never touched her.”

Aella shook her head, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. “But you still have a son together,” she choked out. “That’s something you can never erase.”

Tyrone stumbled back a step, pale and shaken.

It took him a long moment before he found his voice again.

“Divorce isn’t an option. I know you’re hurting and can’t accept this right now. If you need space, stay with your parents until we sort things out.”

Aella’s voice rose as her emotions spiraled. “I don’t want to keep dragging this on! One phone call from Edwin, and I lost my job. I just want to live my life. I don’t want anything more to do with you or your family!”

Tyrone stepped forward and gently steadied her trembling body.

Speaking as softly as he could, he said, “If you agree not to divorce, I promise your job will be safe. I’ll transfer all my assets to your name–if you want, I’ll even write a will.”

Aella shook her head again. “I can lose my job, I can live without money–but I must get a divorce.”

Tyrone’s hand fell from her shoulder. The warmth drained from his face, replaced by a cold, distant expression.

His voice hardened. “Then there’s nothing more to talk about.”
