She broke down, laughing through her tears. “Since we go way back, I’ll cut you a deal, 50 million for three years. Keep the interest. I’ll pay back the principal. Let’s get divorced.”

With that, she handed the bank card to Miriam.

Still crying, she said, “Mom, that 50 million … that’s the price of my body. You can’t give that away.”

Then she turned and ran, stumbling as she rushed to her bedroom. She slammed the door and locked it behind her.

From inside the room came the sound of muffled sobs, raw and uncontrollable.

Tyrone’s eyes were bloodshot as he pounded on the door. He threw his shoulder against it, trying to break it down. “Aella! Open the door!”

Clyde heard the commotion and came out of his room. When he saw Tyrone slamming his body against Aella’s door, he lost it. Injured wrist be damned, he grabbed Tyrone by the collar and punched him hard in the face.

“Clyde!”

Miriam rushed forward to stop him, afraid the fight would spiral even further.

Warren stormed into the kitchen and came back with a knife, eyes blazing. “Get out of my house!”

Tyrone stumbled back a step, face pale, panic in his eyes. “Warren … Miriam … Aella is my wife. I never meant for any of this!”

He had let Edwin push things–had stood by while they demanded repayment–only because he thought if she saw the truth, she’d give up on the divorce and come back to him. Yes, their marriage hadn’t started with love, but he had never disrespected her. Not once.

He thought this meeting between their families would clear the air. That he’d be able to take Aella home. He never imagined it would fall apart like this.

Virginia watched Tyrone, shocked. It was the first time she’d seen him so completely fall apart. Her eyes filled with disappointment–and something like heartbreak.

Ralph jabbed his finger in Warren’s face, threatening, “Touch my son, and I’ll make sure the

entire Reid family goes down with you!”

Warren’s hand tightened around the knife handle, his whole arm shaking with rage.

He stood protectively in front of Miriam and Clyde, gritting his teeth. “I may be old and useless, but if anyone dares lay a hand on my kids, I’ll fight them with everything I’ve got.

Edwin gave the butler a subtle signal. The butler quickly opened the front door to let the bodyguards in from outside.

“Let go of me!” Tyrone shouted.

He was strong, but not strong enough to take on several trained guards jumping him at once. With the butler, Justin Garraway, and Ralph also holding him back, Tyrone couldn’t fight at full strength.

Justin, seeing that even with numbers the guards couldn’t subdue Tyrone, waited for an opening, then knocked him out cold. The bodyguards carried him out.

Ralph shot Warren and Miriam a dark, threatening glare before storming off.

At this point, Virginia knew there was nothing left to say. She stayed silent and followed the others out.

Before leaving, Edwin threw down one last line. “Since she’s already made her point, we’ll drop the interest. I’ll have my lawyers handle the divorce. From here on out, the Reids and Winters don’t need to cross paths again.”

Miriam, back turned to him, responded calmly, “Believe me, we’re more than fine with that.”

After the Winters left, Miriam knocked softly on Aella’s door.

Aella opened it, threw herself into her mother’s arms, and sobbed, whispering “I’m sorry” over and over again.

Working outside had taught her how hard it was to earn money. She knew she still had a long way to go in her field–so much to learn, so much to improve.

Right now, she couldn’t support Warren, Miriam, and Clyde financially. That was why she had to make sure there was still some savings left for them. For the first time in her life, she had thrown away her pride for money. Even Warren and Miriam hadn’t been spared.

Aella cried. Miriam cried. Clyde and Warren stood at the door, eyes red, one on each side.

An hour later, Tyrone came to at the Winter Estate.

In the living room, Edwin sat silently, saying nothing, while Ralph and Virginia argued loudly.

Tyrone’s face was pale and grim. Ignoring the shouting, he tried to leave, but Edwin’s voice stopped him.
