Aella completely lost it, crying and thrashing in his arms. “If I can’t get a divorce, I’d rather die!”

Tyrone froze for a moment, then hugged her tighter.

He didn’t say a word, just closed his eyes and let her warmth sink in.

He finally believed it.

Aella truly wanted a divorce.

Without giving her a chance to protest, Tyrone drove her back to her apartment.

Later that night, outside her building.

Her eyes were red, and she stubbornly blocked him from coming upstairs. “Let me know when you’re ready to sign the papers.”

Tyrone’s eyes softened, worry flickering through them.

He grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Aella, I’ll give you space for now. But I’m not agreeing to a divorce.”

“Then we’ll do it through the courts.”

She yanked her hand free and walked straight into the elevator without looking back.

If they couldn’t separate peacefully, they might as well act like strangers.

The elevator doors closed slowly. Tyrone reached for her, then let his hand fall.

Noel, who had been waiting nearby, walked up cautiously. “Mr. Winter, the helicopter is ready. When do you and Mrs. Winter plan to leave?”

Tyrone stood silently outside the building, eyes fixed on the light shining from Aella’s window. After a while, he shut his eyes, completely drained.

He should’ve known this day was coming the moment Zera and Orson came back and he went to pick them up.

When he promised to take care of Zera and Orson forever and claim Orson as his own, his marriage to Aella was already slipping away.

Tyrone neither called Aella nor went upstairs to disturb her.

Instead, he stood out there for hours, chain–smoking.

After midnight, Noel showed up to talk him down. “Mr. Winter, you’ve got a signing event tomorrow morning.”

Tyrone burned through his last cigarette, then pulled out his phone and sent Aella a quick text.

He glanced once at her dark window, then turned away. “Let’s go.”

The next morning, Tyrone was back in Vleka.

Virginia came herself to pick him up and drove him straight to the Winter Estate.

Dragging his tired body inside, Tyrone was met with Ralph’s sharp voice. “Why didn’t Aella come back with you?”

Too drained to argue, Tyrone lowered his eyes and brushed it off. “She’s doing advanced studies. She can’t return yet.”

Ralph slammed his cup on the table with a loud crack. “She just leaves whenever she feels like it? Doesn’t she care about her elders at all?”

Then, he snapped at the butler, “Justin, go to the Reids and tell her parents to set her straight.”

Tyrone cut in quickly. “Dad, Aella went overseas to study. Why drag her parents into this?”

Virginia had already guessed what was happening when she saw her son arrive alone by helicopter.

She hadn’t said anything earlier, but now she asked, “Tyrone, is Aella set on divorcing you?”

Keeping his face calm, Tyrone replied, “I agreed with her studying in Tuspuyria. I stayed at her apartment last night. Everything is fine. Don’t overthink it.”

From the corner, Raine blurted out, “Aella said she’d rather die than stay married to Tyrone.”

After he shot her a warning glare, she hid behind their parents and kept quiet.

Ralph lost his temper. “She’s nothing but a fallen heiress! Who does she think she is? If she wants out, let her have the divorce!”

Tyrone’s expression turned cold. “I’m not divorcing her.”

Virginia asked, “Why not? Are you waiting for her to file and drag it into the public eye?”

He rubbed his forehead, tired. “Why are you all pushing so hard for us to split?”
