Chapter 342 Kyla’s Madness
“Trying to win Tilda back was my idea. I ended up dumping the pressure on you without meaning to. I’m sorry.”
“Kayden? Don’t say that. If you do… I’ll just feel worse.”
“Enough. We’re brothers—no need for this. No matter what, I’m already in Motrar. I found Tilda. What I came to do, I have to finish myself.”
Kayden steadied again.
If he wanted Tilda’s forgiveness, running into a wall was normal, wasn’t it?
If he gave up this easily, he shouldn’t have come to Motrar in the first place.
Since he was here, quitting now wouldn’t be his style.
The Jensons… Everyone wanted Tilda’s forgiveness, and for her to come home.
“Kayden, you—”
“Wade, say no more. I’ve decided. Forget what I said earlier. I’m going to keep trying—at the very least, I need Tilda to hear the piece I wrote for her…”
Kayden stared at the folder in his hands, his fingertips pressing harder.
This was the one leverage he had—the way he might win Tilda back.
She had to hear this composition.
“… Kayden, I’ve decided. I’m flying to Motrar now. Wait for me!”
“Wade? Why the sudden—”
“I bear a lot of responsibility for this. I can’t dump it all on you.
“And I know… Santiago’s temper. Without living through what we did, he’ll never understand Tilda.”
At that, Kayden pressed his lips tight, thinking of Santiago and Tilda’s run-ins.
Wade was right—Santiago hadn’t accepted Tilda at all. He was furious that Kayden would humble himself to beg her forgiveness.
In Santiago’s state, forget helping—he’d only make things worse.
His prejudice against Tilda was bone-deep.
It wouldn’t disappear overnight.
“… All right. Come.
“With the two of us, we’ll figure out… some way to make Tilda see what’s in our hearts."

“Wade, when you leave, don’t let Dad and the others know. No need to worry them.”
“Got it, Kayden. I know what to do.”
After he hung up, Wade thought for a beat, then started packing.
He filed a leave with the school and texted Kyla.
“Kyla, something urgent came up. I have to travel. Could you cover for me with the family?”
Wade couldn’t stay. First, the situation was urgent. Second, face-to-face with his brothers, he might slip.
Because of Tilda, the house grew heavier and stranger by the day—that was undeniable.
Especially after Tilda dropped her “X” mask and won a world championship.
But the biggest change was in Kyla.
Right now, Kyla lay on her bed, lifeless.
She’d basically been like this ever since Christmas.
She had hollow eyes and dark circles.
Even her hair started falling out in clumps.
Lately, she’d been having nightmares.
They were dreams of watching Tilda shine on the world stage.
Watching all her scheming, her betrayal of the Jensons, she ended up with nothing. Worse, she’d just handed everything to Tilda on a silver platter.
Watching the family one by one shift toward Tilda, care about her, and push Kyla to the margins.
What could be crueler than that for Kyla?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The symptoms worsened—she couldn’t sleep.
She relied on sleeping pills.
Then, Wade’s message came in.
Kyla’s heart twisted with pain.
But she forced a cheerful reply.
“Got it, Wade. Leave it to me. Don’t worry!” She even sent a smiley face emoji.
“Thanks, Kyla.”
The moment they finished, Kyla’s face changed.

She hurled her phone at the bed and growled like a madwoman.
“Damn it—Wade is definitely going to that bitch Tilda. One by one, all of them… Why? What did I do wrong?
“I got better schooling than that lowborn Tilda. I’m prettier. My body’s better. She can’t compare to me—she can’t!
“Why is she the one admired by everyone now? This must be a mistake. A mistake!”
Her fists pounded the mattress like a storm.
Suddenly—
Kyla froze, horrified.
She grabbed at the hair scattered on the bed.
“That’s weird… Why is there so much hair?”
