Aella spoke again, desperation creeping into her voice. “Brad, please … talk to him for me. Help me convince him to divorce me. I can’t take this anymore.”

Brad’s expression gradually shifted to concern. “Aella, you know what Tyrone’s like and how stubborn he is. If he says no, even the best divorce lawyers in the country might not be able to make it happen.”

Aella’s voice was calm, almost too calm. “If I can’t get out, I’ll just kill myself.”

Brad made sure Aella got home safely, then turned around and headed back to Tyrone’s place.

In the study, Tyrone handed Brad a glass of whiskey.

The two stood side by side in front of the floor–to–ceiling window. Brad broke the silence. “Wanna know what she and I talked about?”

Tyrone glanced at him sideways. “She asked you to talk me into a divorce.”

Brad smirked. “You’re only half right.”

Tyrone tilted his head back and downed the entire glass in one go.

His long fingers toyed with the empty glass, his voice unreadable. “Put Zera and her kid aside for a second, there’s nothing broken in my marriage with Aella.”

Brad shot him a look full of disbelief. “Zera and her kid are the crack, Tyrone. And it’s not a small one, it’s the size of a canyon. Are you sure you can keep this from falling apart?”

Tyrone turned around and sank onto the couch, pouring himself another drink.

“Aella’s always relied on me since we were kids. She just needs time to cool off, she’ll come around,” he said.

Brad sat across from him. “She has come around. Tonight she told me if she’d known you’d treat her like this, she would’ve married me instead.”

Tyrone froze, the glass halfway to his lips.

Brad sighed and tried to reason with him. “Tyrone, Aella’s been tagging along behind us since we were kids. She went from this sweet, carefree little girl to a beautiful woman, and in the end, you married her. She’s been in love with you for over 20 years, always by your side. You had no right to hurt her like this over that woman Zera, and then treat her with that cold, silent cruelty on top of it.”

Brad replied calmly, “That wasn’t even the half of it.”

The two men locked eyes. Brad’s expression turned serious. “She said if she can’t divorce, she’ll kill herself.”

Tyrone’s face went stiff.

He looked away, set his glass down, and tried several times before finally shaking a cigarette out of the pack.

A thin trail of smoke curled upward, blurring his view.

He spoke quietly. “When I married her, I weighed the pros and cons. But these past three years, I’ve done my best for her and for her family. Whatever she wanted, I gave. I don’t have any vices, and I’ve never tried to control her. I honestly thought she was living better than most women.”

He paused. “With the whole Zera situation, yeah, I crossed a line. But it’s not nearly as bad as Aella’s making it out to be.”

Brad shot him a look like he was seeing a ghost. “Not bad? What, you need Aella to die in front of you before you get how serious this is?“.

Tyrone lowered his head. “She won’t.”

She was too devoted to her parents. Even for Clyde’s sake, she’d stay alive.

Brad, speechless for once, just stared at him in disbelief before storming out.

Late that night, Tyrone lay on his side in bed, reaching out to the empty space beside him.

A dull ache in his shoulder reminded him that Aella had been there not long ago.

The next morning, Aella went out to buy antibiotics for Clyde and ran into Zera by surprise.

Zera strutted in heels, wearing a skintight dress and flawless makeup, looking nothing like someone who’d just been hit by a car.

When she saw Aella, she walked right up to her. “Ms. Reid, how’s your brother? Feeling any better?”

Aella glanced at her but said nothing.
