Zera tried greeting Brad, but he just turned his back. He started picking at the leaves on a tree, pretending she didn’t exist.

She felt quite awkward.

Noticing everyone busy hauling stuff in the yard, she walked over carefully. “Tyrone, what’s going on here?”

Tyrone dodged the question. “Why are you here?”

Zera glanced at Brad in hesitation and stayed quiet.

“You two talk. I’m out,” Brad said flatly, clearly not interested in her, and walked away.

Tyrone gave an order. “Justin, we’ll finish moving tomorrow.”

Justin caught on and waved for everyone to leave. Noel went ahead to wait in the car.

Once the others were gone, Tyrone and Zera headed into the living room.

Only then did she finally say, “Your mom came to see me earlier.”

Tyrone stood by the tall window in black pants and a white shirt with black cuffs. His sleeves were rolled to his elbows, his hands tucked in his pockets.

His gaze was fixed on the burnt rubble outside in the garden, his face unreadable.

Zera hesitated at his silence. Her eyes wavered uncertainly.

She said tentatively, “Your mom kicked me and Orson out. She even warned me that if you ever divorce your wife, she’ll make sure I pay for it. What am I supposed to do?”

Tyrone turned at last, his tone calm. “Don’t worry. I’m not divorcing Aella. My mom won’t hurt you.”

Zera’s expression tightened with frustration when she heard the same excuse again.

She unconsciously clenched her hands as she glanced around the living room. “Tyrone, it’s already hard on my mom living with my brother and my sister–in–law. Now that Orson and I have moved back, my sister–in–law is upset. This place is empty anyway. Could we stay for a while?”

Tyrone shook his head. “This villa belongs to me and Aella. Even if no one is living here, it’s not for you.”

Zera dropped her gaze awkwardly. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. Forget it.”

He walked closer and studied her for a while.

His voice turned firm. “Zera, I know you’ve suffered a lot because of me. You’ve given up a lot. Raising a kid alone isn’t simple. I get that.”

He went on, “But you’ve also seen how my family looks at you. If things keep dragging out like this, it’ll only hurt everyone.”

After a pause, he said, “Tell me what you want. I’ll give you money. Take Orson and start over somewhere new. That would be best for all of us.”

Zera froze, staring at him in disbelief. Then, her legs gave out as she sank into the couch.

She thought Aella being away meant her chance had finally come.

Instead, Tyrone just wanted to pay her off and send her away from Vleka.

Before she could stop herself, tears poured out. “Tyrone, I left my family for six years because of you. I just came back. Are you truly telling me to leave them again?”

Tyrone replied steadily, “Then bring your family with you. I’ll make sure you never have to worry about money for the rest of your life.”

She shot to her feet, her voice trembling but soft.

“Yes, I’ve been sick and couldn’t work. I did accept your help. But once I get better, I’ll earn my money. I never wanted your fortune, and I never wanted to break your marriage apart. Please, don’t be so heartless.”

Tyrone’s expression was complicated. “If you stay, then I have to tell Aella the truth about Orson. I can’t let her keep thinking he’s mine.”

Zera staggered back, her steps unsteady.

Her voice cracked as she demanded, “So you’ll tell her Orson isn’t yours. And then what?”

She was obviously agitated. “She might go around saying that I failed to marry rich six years ago and got forced abroad. She might tell everyone I was abused for years, had a child from rape, and came back after my husband died expecting you to step in!

“Your family will find out he’s not your son, and just like before, they’ll crush me and Orson again!
