From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Not Going to Tell Aella the Truth

Before Zera could make Tyrone see her differently, Aella was already back.

Not only had they not divorced, but they even seemed to be getting along just fine.

Zera ground her teeth. “That bitch!” she hissed.

She had plotted for so long and by now was just as capable as Aclla, but she still couldn’t understand why Tyrone hadn’t let go.

That evening, as Aella returned home, Tyrone came in right behind her.

He stepped up to her. “What happened at the hospital today? Why did Orson get hurt?”

Hearing his questioning tone, Aella set down her phone and stood up.

For a few seconds, they just stared at each other in silence.

Then Aella recounted the whole incident calmly and precisely. “Yes, my brother lifted him, and yes, he said he’d throw him.”

She added, “I know you care about that woman and her son. If you want to protect them, don’t hold back–go ahead and hit me if it’ll make you feel better.”

Tyrone’s expression darkened. “Aella, I only asked a question. What’s with that attitude?”

Aella raised her voice. “You walk in and interrogate me—what kind of attitude is that?”

The room went still.

When Tyrone finally spoke again, his tone softened. “Aella, we’re husband and wife. We’ve known each other since we were kids. Have I ever laid a hand on you?”

A cold laugh escaped her. “Don’t forget, Tyrone–you broke Clyde’s wrist before for the woman you love.”

Tyrone sighed, frustrated. “That was an accident.”

Aella’s hands clenched at her sides. “Why is it that every ‘accident‘ ends with me or my family getting hurt?”

Something complicated flickered across Tyrone’s eyes. “You still can’t get past that, can you?”

Aella met his gaze evenly. “I’ll never forget it. Not ever.”

They stared at each other for a long moment before Tyrone turned and walked away.

When the front door clicked shut behind him, Aella’s knees gave out, and she collapsed onto the couch.

He left in such a hurry he must’ve gone straight to that woman and her son.

He’s not a good husband, but he’s definitely a devoted father.

If only Zera had come from a better background, maybe they could’ve been the perfect family.

Aella showered, turned off all the lights, and went to bed.

A husband who had stopped loving her didn’t deserve her sleepless nights–or the light she once kept on for him.

A few minutes later, Tyrone knocked upstairs.

Brad gave a slow, sarcastic clap. “So what’s the problem? You’ve got leverage. All you have to do is give an order, and she’ll follow it.”

Tyrone tugged at his collar, irritation flashing in his eyes. His voice dropped, low and heavy.

“Yes, I forced her to come back, but that wasn’t to make her my enemy. I wanted to fix things.”

Brad stared at him, incredulous. “With all the crap you’ve pulled, it’d be weird if she didn’t see you as the enemy.”

Tyrone’s chest tightened. He poured another drink and downed it in one gulp.

His voice was barely audible when he said, “She’s too stubborn. If I hadn’t forced her, she’d never have come back.”

They’d grown up together–over 20 years of childhood memories, 3 years of marriage.

Things had always been calm, stable.

Divorce had never crossed his mind–not before, not now, not ever.

She just misunderstood his relationship with Zera and Orson.

He couldn’t explain yet, but believed that once she calmed down and saw the truth, everything would go back to the way it used to be.

All the pain she felt now, he would make it up to her slowly.

The two men sat across from each other, conversation fading into silence.

They drank without a sound, each lost in thought.

After a long pause, Brad finally asked, “So you’re still planning to protect Zera and Orson? Still not going to tell Aella the truth?”
