**TITLE: A Message On Whatsapp 429**
**CONTENT: Chapter 429 Lies**

Zera was just about to take a seat next to Tyrone when his piercing gaze halted her in her tracks, a silent warning that sent shivers down her spine.

Finished.

The word echoed in her mind as she straightened up, a wave of fear washing over her. Panic surged within her, prompting her to retreat two steps, her heart racing as she crouched low beside the couch, her eyes darting up to meet his.

As she opened her mouth to speak, her eyes brimmed with tears.

“Tyrone,” she began, her voice barely above a whisper, “did your grandfather tell you that I took his 60 million dollars?”

Tyrone’s demeanor remained calm, his expression unreadable, like a closed book she couldn’t decipher. “Just explain what you need to explain,” he said, his tone steady.

Zera studied his face intently, searching for any hint of emotion.

Shouldn’t he be asking how I’ve been all these years?

Had he uncovered something about her past?

Her heart raced, fear gripping her chest. Without thinking, she dropped to one knee on the floor, maintaining a respectful distance, as if the space between them was a chasm she couldn’t cross.

“Tyrone,” she swore, desperation lacing her words, “I promise you, it was your grandfather who threatened my family. He coerced me into taking that money.”

“And he’s the one who forced me to leave the country and marry someone else!”

As if to dismiss the gravity of her words, Tyrone lit a cigarette, sinking deeper into the couch, his body language signaling indifference.

“No rush. Take your time,” he replied coolly, as if he were merely observing a play unfold before him.

Zera knelt there, her heart pounding, hoping he would reach out to her, offer a hand to help her up. But as silence stretched between them, she felt the weight of despair settle over her. With no choice left, she pushed herself up, rubbing her sore knee before crouching in front of him once more.

“Tyrone,” she said carefully, her voice trembling, “back then, your grandfather said that if I didn’t leave you, he would ruin your entire future. He threatened my family’s lives and your potential. That was the only reason I left you. I swear, I never spent a single dollar of that money. When I first arrived in Tuspuyria, someone stole it from me. If you don’t believe me, I can swear on my child’s life!”

Yet, Tyrone remained silent, his gaze unyielding. Zera’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Tyrone, I already swore on my son. You still don’t believe me?”

His look of pure disgust cut through her like a knife.

A true mother would never use her own child as a pawn in a game of trust.

In his past life, he had fallen prey to this kind of false “sincerity.”

Zera felt the panic rise within her as his silence deepened.

Suddenly, she stood up, shedding her coat and rolling up her sleeves to reveal the bruises and lash marks that marred her arms.

“I’m not a greedy woman. All I want is a place to stay while I get the treatment I need. That’s all I ask.”

Tyrone replied coolly, “I’m busy. If you have more requests, say them all at once so I know what to do next.”

Zera’s heart swelled with relief, her tears of despair transforming into tears of hope.

She was convinced that Tyrone hadn’t truly moved on from her. With a little more effort, she was certain she could win him back.

Steadying herself, she continued, her eyes shimmering with longing.

“Tyrone, last night’s birthday party for your friend was absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.”

Tyrone’s brow furrowed, confusion flickering across his face.

Zera felt her cheeks flush as she lowered her gaze, the weight of her past pressing down on her.

“Ever since your grandfather forced me to leave and marry someone else, I haven’t had a single good day, let alone a birthday.”

She paused for dramatic effect, allowing the silence to hang heavy in the air.

Then, in a soft, almost pleading voice, she added, “Tyrone, after everything I’ve suffered for you, after sacrificing my entire life for you, could you celebrate a birthday for me? Just once?”
