That night, when Tyrone drove her home, Aella turned to him before getting out of the car. She said quietly, “I don’t have much to offer. But if my compromise can bring peace to your family and help you focus at work, then I’m willing.”

After their honeymoon, one of his company’s new projects hit a serious problem. He hesitated to use the emergency plan suggested by a new hire.

That night, she brought him some warm milk and squatted beside him to give him a foot massage. Aella gently persuaded him to give the newcomer a chance.

In their second year of marriage, he met his first real rival in business. She stayed by his side through it all, telling him not to give up.

Aella helped him to pull in the investment and get him through tough times. She accompanied him to every business dinner and social event, talking politely with the other rich men’s wives.

She had given up so much for him–compromising with Edwin and Ralph again and again just to keep the family at peace.

She gave up her dreams and her career. Aella cooked for him and studied holistic medicine just to take better care of him.

Aella even attended events she hated and met people she would rather not see.

When he couldn’t sleep, she stayed up with him.

When he traveled, she called three times a day to ask if he’d eaten and if he was resting well.

Whenever anyone said something bad about him, she would instantly fight back to defend him.

And now, he finally realized, she doesn’t need him to survive.

It was him who had been standing all along because she was there holding him up.

At that moment, it hit Tyrone like lightning.

When Brad walked in, he found Tyrone curled up on the couch, trembling violently.

Without saying a word, Brad grabbed a handful of pills–stomach medicine, heart pills, sleeping pills–all mixed together–and forced them into Tyrone’s mouth.

Then he helped Tyrone back to bed, sweating from the effort.

Tyrone lay there, pale, beads of sweat on his forehead from the pain.

His eyes were red as he looked up at Brad and asked, “Is it too late for me to love her now?”

Brad’s upturned eyes widened. “Love? There’s no such thing as love, man. It’s all desire and deals. That’s all this world runs on.”

Tyrone lay weakly on the bed. His voice trembling as he muttered, “Aella’s love for me was real.”

Brad sat by Tyrone’s bed and patted his shoulder. He mocked, “Aella’s a gold–digger, man. She’s after your money and your body. Her family went broke, and now she’s looking for a long–term meal ticket. You better wake up. What she feels for you isn’t love!”

Tyrone turned his back, eyes shut tight, hiding the redness in them. “Get lost!” He snapped coldly.

Brad rubbed his nose, hearing the choke in Tyrone’s voice.

He walked around to the other side of the bed. “So, you finally get it now?”

When Tyrone stayed silent, Brad sighed. “It’s too late, Tyrone. Everything’s too late.”

He went on and asked, “You think she’s sitting around waiting for you? I’m telling you, I already know five or six guys chasing her. None of them are ordinary.”

Brad gave a half–smirk. “If you want a fair shot at loving her, maybe try again in your next life. Oh! Remember to take a number.”

He waited, but Tyrone never answered. When he leaned closer and pushed Tyrone’s shoulder, Tyrone rolled flat onto his back.

Brad inhaled sharply, panic rushing in. He quickly checked for breath.

“Oh my gosh!” He panted heavily, clutching his chest in relief.

Tyrone was just asleep; the sleeping pills had kicked in.

The next morning, Aella passed by Tyrone’s hospital room. Two nurses were cleaning inside.

She frowned.

Tyrone’s condition was severe. How could his family allow him to discharge so soon?

A few days later, after Mason was released from the hospital, he invited Aella to dinner.

On her way there, Aella passed a shopping plaza. On a giant LED screen outside, she saw Raine dressed in a sharp business suit. She calmly stood beside Tyrone as they faced a group of reporters.

On TV. Tyrone appeared in a crisp suit. He looked a little tired but still sharp and dazzling as

ever.

Beside him stood Raine, once the sheltered little princess; facing the swarm of reporters throwing sharp, tricky questions at her brother, she stepped forward to protect both him and the family’s reputation.

She handled herself with grace and confidence. It was clear she’d been raised for this, trained by her family since childhood. She was educated as one of the best in finance. Watching her, Aella couldn’t help but see a bit of Tyrone in her.

After that, their lives went their separate ways.

Since the day Tyrone left the hospital, he had never appeared before Aella again.

By September, Clyde had started college.

Aella’s life was packed with new responsibilities. She began filming the first episode of a TV program on holistic medicine, all while managing her department and seeing patients three days a week.

On top of that, she still made time for the show’s recording sessions.

Her career was thriving. She met new people, built new connections, and every day was busy, full, and rewarding.
