âMarcus only married her out of self-interest, but that woman? She married for love.â Tyrone almost laughed at the irony.
A hopeless romantic and a selfish manâwhat kind of marriage could come from that besides utter madness?
âMarcus was a playboy, always knew how to charm women and make them fall for him. But she grew up pampered in a wealthy family, spoiled to the core, unable to put up with the slightest neglect. Before the wedding, under his fatherâs orders, Marcus could drop tens of millions to buy her family heirlooms as giftsâhe put her up on a pedestal, made her feel untouchable...â
But after the wedding, Marcus changedâor rather, he stopped pretending.
He was lazy, irresponsible, and utterly mediocre. Even when he joined the family business, he only showed up to pass the time, contributing nothing of value.
The Lynch Corporation survived on his fatherâs back alone.
âThen your grandfather fell gravely ill. A trusted business partner betrayed the company and left a massive hole in the finances. That idiot Marcus got duped into signing an agreement that sent the Lynch Corporation straight into ruinâplummeting to rock bottom, losing hundreds of millions.â
Tyroneâs voice was low, heavy.
âRealizing the mess heâd made, Marcus didnât reflect on his mistakes. Instead, he ran from them. His father cut him off, forced him to face his debts alone. But Marcus, being who he wasâspinelessâcame up with a plan. Heâd use his wife and her family. He sweet-talked her, swindled her out of every cent she had, and soon became addicted to gambling. He convinced himself he could win back hundreds of millions with a single lucky bet. He even ignored her pleas and pawned her familyâs heirloomsâeverything her parents left herâjust to pay off his debts.â
When she finally saw Marcus for who he was and threatened divorce, he refused. When she asked for her money back, Marcus had nothing left to give.
âOnce his father found out, he lost it. Marcus was thrown out of the family.â
âMarcus owed huge gambling debts. The kind of people who loaned him money? They donât forgive. They caught him and forced him to beg both his father and his wife for cash. His wife had nothing left. So, they pushed Marcus to trick her into coming outâafter all, Marcusâs wife was once the most beautiful woman in Harboridge City.â
As Tyrone spoke, the atmosphere around him grew dangerously tense. His voice trembled, veins standing out on his hands.
Easton sat stiff as a board, dreading what he knew came next.

âBack then, she was already pregnant. Marcus lured her out. The gamblers tortured and assaulted her until she broke.â
A sheltered heiress, in love, reduced to madness.
âThey even broke Marcusâs legs right in front of her.â
âYet Marcus never blamed himself for destroying her life. He blamed herâsaid if sheâd just handed over the money sooner, none of it would have happened. For years, he emotionally abused her, tormenting an already shattered mind... He called her filthy. He called meâthe child she had after âan illegitimate brat.â
Tyrone let out a bitter laugh.
The first thing his mother did after giving birth to him was try to strangle him.
His grandfather saved himâsnatched him away, ordered a DNA test, and proved he was a Lynch. Thatâs the only reason Tyrone survived at all.
But after that, Marcus turned to drinking. With a shattered leg, he grew bitter, insecure, violent. The two of them tore each other apart, and Tyrone, just a child, was caught in the middle.
With parents that broken, how could their child turn out any different?
Before Tyrone could even form memories, his parents abused him. Once he started remembering things, his mother always looked at him with nothing but hatredâalways wanting to kill himâbecause when she was violated, she was already carrying him.
