Tyrone’s dark, penetrating gaze remained fixed on Aella, meticulously observing every subtle shift in her expression. Each flicker of her eyes, each nervous twitch of her fingers sent a ripple of unease through him, tightening his chest in a way that felt almost suffocating.
As he watched her, a wave of protectiveness washed over him. She looked so vulnerable, her guilt palpable in the air, and it stirred something deep within him.

Seizing the opportunity, Brad leaned forward, his eyes glinting with mischief. “You’ve been rather secretive, Mr. Hill. Tell me, which family does she belong to? Is she someone I should know?”
Daniel, ever the playful instigator, grinned broadly. “Oh, don’t tease me, Mr. Keller. She’s something special. I’m quite taken with her, actually. Still pursuing her, you know.”
The private room erupted in a cacophony of cheers and playful whistles, the atmosphere electric with excitement.
Aella let out a soft sigh of relief, grateful that Daniel hadn’t put her on the spot in front of everyone. The last thing she wanted was to be the center of attention in such an intimate setting.
Noticing the tension in her shoulders begin to ease, Tyrone subtly averted his gaze, allowing her a moment of reprieve.
Then, as if the universe was conspiring against her, someone reminded Daniel to spin the bottle, and it landed on Tyrone.
A collective gasp filled the room, everyone leaning in with anticipation.
Brad, ever the opportunist, nudged Daniel and whispered, “Let me ask the question for you.”
But before he could continue, Kayla piped up, her voice bright with enthusiasm. “Daniel, I have a question for Mr. Winter! Can I ask him?”
Another guy squeezed closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Mr. Hill, how about I throw a question his way?”
Aella felt herself shrink back, folding her hands tightly in her lap like a frightened quail. These were their mutual friends, and whatever they asked would inevitably circle back to her.
Daniel’s expression shifted as he smiled slyly. “Well, since I finally have this chance, I think I’ll pose a question for Mr. Winter myself.”
Tyrone, ever the stoic presence beside Aella, met Daniel’s gaze with unwavering steadiness. “Go ahead.”
Daniel’s eyes locked onto Tyrone’s, the room’s energy shifting into a tense silence. “Mr. Winter, do you have someone you love?”
The air thickened, and everyone held their breath, anticipation crackling like electricity.
Aella squeezed her eyes shut, wishing she could vanish.
Tyrone’s gaze slowly drifted toward her, and for a moment, time seemed to suspend.

“Of course,” Tyrone finally replied, his voice steady, but Aella could feel the weight of his words hanging heavily in the air.
“Then how much do you love her?” Daniel pressed, his curiosity insatiable.
“Mr. Hill, that’s a bit outside the scope of this game,” Tyrone shot back, a hint of amusement in his tone.
Laughter erupted, mingled with playful sighs, filling the room with a lightheartedness that contrasted sharply with Aella’s internal turmoil.
Daniel chuckled, raising his hands in mock surrender. “Alright, alright, I apologize.”
Aella’s head spun, her thoughts racing. All she wanted was to escape the scrutiny, the weight of everyone’s eyes on her, their expectations palpable.
Finally, Tyrone turned his attention away from her, and she felt a strange mix of relief and disappointment.
How much did he truly love her? The question echoed in her mind, a haunting refrain.
He couldn’t articulate it, not in words that would do justice to the depth of his feelings. All he knew was that he would sacrifice everything for her—even his very existence.
He would do anything for her.
Even if fate led her into the arms of another, his heart would remain steadfast. No matter how impossible their situation seemed, his love would linger, unyielding and eternal.
The private room buzzed with hushed whispers, the atmosphere thick with intrigue.
Even Raine and Brad leaned closer together, their heads bent in quiet conversation, speculation swirling around them like a storm.

Tyrone, usually the epitome of calm and control, had maintained a low profile for years, avoiding any hint of scandal.
Aella had pursued him openly, her affections evident, yet he had remained noncommittal, never once revealing the depths of his feelings.

Kayla approached, concern etched on her face. “Aella, are you alright?”
Aella shook her head, feeling the weight of her turmoil.
“Raine, after my family went bankrupt, I leaned on your brother. I liked him because I saw him as a lifeline, not love. He was my rock, always looking out for me, treating me like a sister. We agreed to be siblings for life.”
Raine nodded, her expression a mix of understanding and doubt.
Aella sighed, feeling drained.
The three girls exchanged a few more words before heading back to the gathering.
As they walked down the hallway toward the private room, Aella’s heart raced when she spotted Tyrone and Daniel in the distance. A shiver ran down her spine.

What were those two doing together?
“Dr. Reid.”
“Aella.”
Both men spoke simultaneously, stepping closer to her, their expressions unreadable.
Aella halted, forcing a smile that felt more like a mask than a genuine expression of joy.
Daniel glanced at Tyrone, a silent understanding passing between them. “Mr. Winter, you first.”
“No, you first, Mr. Hill.”
“Really, Mr. Winter. You should go first.”
“Let’s not be polite about it, Mr. Hill.”
