After three years of a loveless marriage, Aella finally walks away when Tyrone’s first love returns with a five-year-old child. She rebuilds her life into a brilliant career—and soon attracts powerful men eager to marry her. But Tyrone refuses to let her go. When divorce papers destroy his business and nearly cost him his life, his obsession explodes: “Over my dead body.”
Tyrone had her trapped in the one place he knew she couldn’t fight back. All she could do was act out when no one else was around. Other than that, there was nothing she could do. Tyrone watched her walk past, then calmly followed. He caught her wrist and pulled her closer. “Aella,” he said,…
He didn’t deny it. That was as good as an answer. The emotions she had been suppressing all night exploded. She reached for his phone, but before her fingers touched his pocket, Tyrone caught her wrist. He slid an arm around her shoulder, guiding her toward the door. “Enough,” he said firmly. “You’ve got work…
However, she had no problem slapping Zera, the woman who ruined Aella’s marriage. Late at night, a silver sports car rolled to a stop in a street-side parking space. As casual as ever, Brad stepped out, only to find Raine blocking his path. “Take me to Zera,” Raine demanded. Brad widened his narrow eyes in…
After finishing all the prep work for Samuel, she finally turned on her phone. Missed calls and message alerts flooded the screen nonstop. Most came in during the night-from Tyrone, Raine, and even Brad. It wasn’t until she read Brad’s message that she realized Raine had gone to confront Zera last night. But healing never…
Aella’s anger rose like a flame. She forced herself to stay calm, not wanting to start a scene in public. Finally, she admitted, “Yes, I told Raine to go.” Raine had only done it to stand up for her. But Tyrone cherished Zera so much; of course he would be furious. Aella didn’t want Raine…
All this time, she’d been mad at him over Zera. She had thrown tantrums, avoided him, and refused to listen. But he hadn’t expected her to calmly tell others that he and Zera were married. Zera, sensing the shift, sneakily glanced up at Tyrone. His face looked steady, but his body was stiff. She could…
It was already past eight. Thursday. Yet Tyrone hadn’t gone to work. She figured he must have come home late last night after looking after Zera. As she set her phone down, Aella noticed something new on her left wrist-a bracelet. It looked familiar. Then she remembered, it was the same piece she had seen…
His jaw was clenched so tight it seemed it might crack, and the way he stared at Edwin was like he was looking at an enemy. Aella quietly turned her gaze away. She knew the history. Years ago, Edwin had broken him and Zera apart. Zera left the country for six years and gave birth…
And they were right. Every single thing they’d worried about came true over the next three years of their marriage. But looking back now, Aella realized Tyrone hadn’t married her out of love. It had been defiance. Edwin had rejected Zera because of her family background. In rebellion, Tyrone had chosen a bride whose family…
“Grandpa, don’t push me!” “Tyrone warned,” his voice trembling with rage. Edwin’s voice turned cold and dangerous. “You are the heir of the Winters. I won’t let one woman and some unknown child destroy you or our company.” Tyrone met his gaze, his voice unwavering. “That child is mine.” The room fell silent after Tyrone’s…
