Brad leaned on the doorframe. “Tyrone, no woman’s gonna be okay with her husband keeping his ex’s kid around. If you want things to work with Aclla, you’ve got to be honest with her.”

When Tyrone didn’t answer, Brad pushed harder. “Don’t tell me you softened after Zera just cried a little?”

Tyrone sounded frustrated. “This isn’t about me being softened. If Grandpa figures out Orson isn’t mine, he’ll go after Zera and Orson just like he did six years ago. He won’t hold back.”

Brad frowned. “Why her, though? Out of everyone, why does your grandpa only go after her? Ever think about that?”

Tyrone didn’t answer.

Brad spelled it out. “Because she’s not good for you. She could wreck your life and blow up your family.”

“She’s not like that,” Tyrone snapped.

He tried to defend her. “She’s been sick for a long time. She came back partly because she missed her family and partly because of her kid. It wasn’t about me. She only wants to bring him up in a familiar place.

“She broke up with me so my future wouldn’t get ruined. Grandpa forced her out of the country and made her marry someone else. She’s been through hell these past six years and never once came to me for help. She’s given up a lot. Now she’s back, just trying to get help for her kid. I can’t ignore that.”

Brad shot back, “And Aella is supposed to endure all of this?”

Thinking about Aella made Tyrone’s eyes flicker.

He stayed silent for a while before saying, “Aella has had an easy life. Since we married, I’ve never let her suffer or feel wronged. I’ve always treated her well.

“But Zera is different. She’s always sensible. She grew up in an ordinary family. She went through a lot just to be with me and gave up her own happiness. I can’t just watch her suffer.”

Just then, Tyrone’s phone buzzed on the bathroom sink.

He glanced at the unknown number and hit decline.

Right after that, Brad’s phone rang.

They exchanged glances before Brad picked up.

Later that night, at Capital Hospital.

By the time Tyrone and Brad arrived, Zera had already been moved into a ward.

She was lying on the bed. When Tyrone came in, she shoved the nurse away.

She ripped the IV out of her arm and burst into tears as she got up. “Why’d you save me? You should’ve just let me die!”

Tyrone sent the nurse out and carefully set Zera back on the bed. “Why would you try to kill yourself? Did you even think about what this would do to Orson?”

Zera’s voice was firm. “I already sent Orson to an orphanage. He won’t be a burden to you anymore. I’m done living like this. Just leave me alone!”

He held her injured hand to stop her from moving.

“Zera, you’re all Orson has. Don’t throw your life away like this.”

Hearing his words, Zera broke down.

“Tyrone, your grandpa threatened me back then. He said if I stayed with you, he’d kick you out with nothing and hand everything to your half–brother.

“For your future, I forced myself to leave you. But that wasn’t enough for him. He even sent me overseas and made me marry someone else.”

Her voice shook as she sobbed.

“I was beaten for six years. I lost babies because of it. Orson was born because that man forced himself on me. And even then, I stayed away because I was scared of dragging you down.

“Tyrone, everything I did was my choice. Coming back was my last resort. I never meant to ruin your marriage.

“I’m just scared. If your grandpa finds out Orson isn’t your son, he’ll do what he did before. He might send us off or make me marry another monster. I’d rather die than live like that!”

She suddenly dropped to her knees.

Tyrone’s face darkened as he tried to pull her up, but Zera clung to his leg.
