4. Sign The Divorce Papers!
last update2025-08-15 16:46:04

Tyler couldn’t believe his eyes. Divorce papers?

For a moment, the world around him blurred. The music, the lights, the polished clinks of glasses, it all faded. This wasn’t just a disagreement. This was betrayal.

Becca's voice snapped him out of the fog, slicing through the air like a blade. “I know you’re worried about alimony. Don’t stress. I’ll be sending you five hundred dollars. That should be enough to keep you alive until you leech off someone else.”

Gasps rippled through the room. Some guests stifled laughter, others didn’t even bother.

Tyler looked up, lips trembling, as he took a slow step forward. “We can fix this, Becca. Couples fight. This doesn’t have to end us. Let’s talk…”

“Shut your pathetic mouth,” Becca snarled. Her eyes, once warm, now shimmered with venom.

A wave of awkward giggles passed through the guests. Tyler’s humiliation was a feast for them.

Becca closed the distance between them, her heels echoing across the banquet floor. “You were never a husband to me. Hell, you were barely a man. This whole event? It wasn’t for reconciliation. It was for the truth. I’m marrying Perry. Soon. Today was just the curtain call.”

She didn’t stop there. “Now go mingle with your kind. Broke, directionless nobodies.”

Perry strutted in like a smug villain, brushing Becca’s hair with one hand. “She’s right, Tyler. Know your place. Becca is Amore blood. I’m from the Winters legacy. And you? Let’s see… Which family? The Uber tribe? Maybe a clan of desperate hustlers?”

He laughed in his throat. “Face it, man. You don’t belong here. You were just a filler until the real story started.”

“Take your little alimony and disappear. That’s the only gift you’re getting.”

Tyler stood there, swallowing a storm of rage and pain. He loved her. He had once dreamed of buying her something grand for her birthday—something she'd never forget. Turns out, she already had someone giving her everything behind his back. The coldness in her embrace, the way she avoided his touch—it all made sense now.

She had someone else warming her bed.

His hand tightened around the divorce papers.

Even if he begged, even if he cried, none of it would matter. She had already chosen. Her heart belonged to someone else. Someone richer. Someone she believed fit her status.

There was no fight left to give.

Jaw clenched, Tyler stared at the both of them. He looked pitiful, but he stood tall.

“I’ll sign the papers,” he said, voice firm.

Becca’s lips curled into a victorious smirk. “Good boy. Finally using your head.”

She turned to Perry with open palms. “Pen, baby?”

With a sly grin, Perry reached into his pocket and pulled out a pen like it was gold.

Becca took it, then turned to Tyler. “Here. Take it.”

Just as Tyler reached out, she tossed the pen across the floor.

“Oops,” she said with fake innocence. “My hand slipped. People like you aren’t meant to touch anything that belongs to me.”

Laughter broke out in corners of the hall. Tyler said nothing. He bent down slowly, picked up the pen with what little pride he had left, and stood up.

He signed the papers with steady hands.

Walking back, he tossed the signed divorce paper toward Becca and handed the pen to Perry with a half-smile. “Here. Give this back to your pet.”

Then he turned to Becca, voice calm but laced with venom. “You can keep your filthy five hundred dollars. Maybe you’ll use it to buy yourself a new personality. God knows you’re bankrupt in that department.”

He turned to leave.

Then stopped.

And turned back to face her again.

“You think you won, Becca. But hear me loud. You made the biggest mistake of your life choosing him. I promise, you’ll regret divorcing me.”

Becca scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Keep dreaming, Tyler. You’ll always be a bottom-feeder. You think you can hurt me? Please. You couldn’t even afford to keep me.”

“Get the hell out before I have the guards throw you out like the garbage you are.”

Tyler didn’t flinch. He turned and walked toward the exit.

The whispers followed him like shadows.

“He’s so pathetic. He thought today was about love.”

“Can you believe a man like that married Becca Cruz? What was she even thinking?”

“What a disgrace.”

Well, he couldn’t do anything. Could he?

Tyler just had to keep quiet and act like he didn’t hear a word she said. That night was the worst of his life. The humiliation wasn’t just experienced in the moment. it was captured, posted, and shared online like a meme.

He had become a laughingstock. A man turned into a joke.

There was no hope left in him. No direction. No answer to what comes next. The perfect life he thought he had was stripped away, leaving behind only broken pieces and shame. The only thought circling in his mind was how to survive. How to rebuild from nothing.

But before that, he had to return to the mansion and pack his things.

He couldn’t stay another night in Becca’s house.

When he got to the gate and knocked, Gloria opened the door. He didn’t say a word. He didn’t even meet her eyes. Talking to her would only start another pointless argument, and he had no energy for it.

The moment she stepped aside, he walked straight in and headed toward his room.

Behind him, her voice chased him down the hall.

“Come back here, Tyler. I am speaking to you and you are walking out? Where are your manners?”

She followed him like a shadow, ranting as he entered his room and began packing. Just as he reached for his clothes, she stormed in and kicked his box across the room.

Their eyes met.

Her expression was loud and clear. What can you do?

Tyler ignored her and bent to pick up the box, but she yanked his collar with sudden force.

“You refuse to listen to me just because my daughter divorced you? For your information, Tyler, you are still under my roof. So you will listen to what I have to say. Is that understood?”

He grabbed her hand and yanked it off, then pushed her back with heat in his eyes.

“You want attention, right? Fine. I’ll give it to you. I am no longer your daughter’s husband. I’m here to pack my things and leave. So don’t stand there talking like I owe you anything. You don’t get to grab me or speak to me like I’m a child.”

Gloria staggered a bit but quickly straightened up. Her gaze hardened as she examined him with disbelief.

“Is this Tyler or his clone?” she muttered, stunned by the sharpness in his voice.

Tyler wasn’t done.

“You played your part well. You knew what you were doing when you accepted that booking from Perry. You sent me to pick up my own wife and her boyfriend. You helped them humiliate me. And for what? Because money talks louder than loyalty?”

He stepped closer, anger rising in his voice.

“You’re a disgrace, Gloria. A mother who watches her daughter cheat on her husband. A woman who lets her child sell herself to a man who doesn’t even love her. What kind of mother are you?”

Gloria's face turned red with fury. She raised her hand to slap him.

But Tyler caught it mid-air and gripped her wrist tightly.

“You don’t have any damn right to hit me. Not anymore. I’m not your sweet little son-in-law. I’m divorced. Do you get that?”

As he held her hand, a sudden voice echoed from the doorway.

“Hold on, Tyler. What is that amulet on your wrist?”

Tyler turned and saw…

Although he found it hard to believe at the time, he had still been deeply unsettled by the way she declared that she wouldn’t let him see his own child.

    As they all glared at Tyler, their minds swirled with countless unanswered questions.Olga’s lips refused to close. She kept muttering under her breath, her voice trembling with confusion.“What’s going on? What… what is all this?”Aria was just as stunned as the others. Her eyes widened, and she found herself silently questioning what she was seeing.“How did Tyler manage to get a card as mighty as this?” she wondered, her heart pounding.What shocked them the most was the identity attached to the A+ List Card.It was not just powerful — it was a title. A status. A symbol that had been possessed by only one person in the entire world.Aria’s grandfather.But he was dead.Which meant there should only be one person in existence who had the right to hold that card now — the one representing him in the military cadre. And that person was, of course, the new General of Team Elite.However, as things stood, no one had officially taken that position yet. The identity of the new General had

    Olga looked back—and to her deepest shock, it was Aria who had spoken.She couldn’t comprehend it.Aria was defending Tyler again? After everything that had happened?Unbelievable.Even Brantley was stunned.He licked the blood at the corner of his lips and clenched his fists tightly. When he had seen Olga arrive earlier, he had been certain she would stand by him—whether Tyler was telling the truth or not.But Aria standing beside Tyler?That was something he had never seen coming.And now that Aria was finally acting with a clear conscience, what came next? Would she throw him behind bars?Brantley shook his head slowly.He couldn’t allow Tyler’s name to be cleared. He couldn’t let his own identity walk away without a stain.He had to lie.One way or another.Anger blazed across his face as he stepped forward, deliberately faking weakness as he spoke.“Look at me, Aria,” Brantley said, his voice trembling as he lifted his hands weakly. “Do I look like a rapist? Do I look like someon

    Tyler froze when he saw them—Olga, Chloe, Henry, and Melanie standing there.Shock flickered across his face. He hadn’t known they were present. Not even for a second.As his gaze swept over them, Olga’s eyes suddenly locked onto the figure crumpled on the floor.“Aria!”She rushed forward immediately, fake tears already shimmering in her eyes. Dropping to Aria’s side, she grabbed her arm and helped drag her upright, all while twisting her head to glare at Tyler.“What on earth have you done to my daughter, Aria?” Olga screamed, her voice trembling with practiced outrage. “I knew you were a ruthless animal from the very first day I met you—and today, you’ve proven you’re exactly the devil I thought you were!”Tyler opened his mouth, but Olga didn’t give him the chance.“You were in jail, weren’t you?” she continued, her voice rising as she pointed a trembling finger at him. “Now tell me—what have you come back here to do, huh? Officers!” She turned sharply toward the police. “Arrest t

    Tyler didn’t seem to care about the question Aria had asked him. He gently brushed the strands of hair away from her eyes and nodded, his expression calm and reassuring.“Yes, Aria. I’m here,” he said softly, warming her cold hands between his palms. “Don’t worry. I’m already here, and I know for sure that nothing is going to harm you.”As he spoke, he continued smoothing her hair and rubbing her hands to keep her warm, his attention completely fixed on her.Behind him, Brantley had already risen from where he had been thrown. Quietly, he picked up the iron rod lying beside him and began to creep forward, his steps slow and careful.Tyler didn’t notice.He was still smiling at Aria, gently massaging her hand, focused only on comforting her.Within seconds, Brantley was right behind him. He lifted the iron high, preparing to strike Tyler from the back.But just as Brantley was about to bring it down, Tyler suddenly reached back and caught the iron firmly with one hand, not even turning
