Chapter 86 Interrogation\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla felt the truth hit her all over again. Troy did not care what she became or how she changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou warned me not to check your schedule. I stopped crossing your lines before the divorce, and after it, I wouldn\u2019t even think about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUsing Draven to get under my skin makes you clever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI told you it was a coincidence.\u201d She frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think one little coincidence gets rid of me that easy, Ayla?\u201d Troy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you want to hear, huh?\u201d Ayla\u2019s face stayed blank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy stepped toward her, and his height and build brought a heavy, instinctive pressure with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla backed up to the doorway, and he kept closing in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His cologne mixed with another woman\u2019s perfume. The scent made Ayla\u2019s stomach twist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pressed against the wall beside the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If he moved even one more inch, she would bolt outside where people could see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy would never lose control in public.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy leaned down a little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His narrow, dark eyes stayed locked on her. He stared like he was looking at a lover, but his gaze held no warmth. His voice dropped. \u201cI don\u2019t like the way you look at me now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI still prefer the way you used to try to please me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His tone was dismissive and arrogant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had zero respect for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s chest rose and fell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at the man she once loved and said, \u201cMr. Winston, then you better get used to it, because I will never please you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy did not flinch. His mouth even lifted. He\u00a0<\/p>\n
asked, \u201cI\u2019ll give you one last chance. Quit your job.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTroy, we are divorced. You have no right to control anything I do. I don\u2019t need your approval.\u201d Ayla\u00a0<\/p>\n
refused to back down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy stayed calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThis tough act of yours is new. Who taught you? Looks pretty convincing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He acted like he praised her, but every word dripped with contempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stayed silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had told Jed and Bria about the divorce, but they never believed her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Out of all of them, only Max took her seriously. He listened. He respected her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could talk to someone like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could not talk to someone like Troy, who twisted everything through his own ego and never heard a thing she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If her words meant nothing, then there was nothing worth discussing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t deserve even five minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter what you say, I\u2019m not quitting,\u201d Ayla said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pushed past him and turned to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy lifted one hand and braced it against the wall, blocking her path.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla met his eyes coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy said, \u201cActually, I understand your choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He respected what she said?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she heard him laugh, low and cruel. \u201cYou finally found a man like Draven to hide behind. You think I\u2019d let go of you when someone like him can piss me off?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy said, \u201cBut you shouldn\u2019t do that. Draven is not someone you can handle. Chasing him is the same as playing with fire.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next second, his face moved toward hers without warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s pupils tightened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy grabbed her jaw with one hand and her shoulder with the other. His grip was strong enough to pin her in place without effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla trembled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had never touched her like this before.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She felt fear crawl up her spine when he suddenly bent his head and pressed his mouth to the side of her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sucked hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pain shot through her like needles. Goosebumps spread over her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could scream, he let her go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy straightened and looked down at her coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A glaring mark burned on her skin. A bright red bruise. A claim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy looked satisfied. He stared at her wide, shocked eyes, then slipped back into his usual icy expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cYou asked for it.\u201d and walked out without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla stood frozen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seconds passed before the terror rushed through her and made her heart pound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pressed her hand to her neck. The pain felt sharp and hot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bruise would show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone would see it the moment she went back onto the court.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy marked her on purpose. He marked her to claim ownership.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy was sick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humiliation rose so hard her body shook.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes turned red, but her face burned with anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tears gathered, but Ayla refused to let them fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wiped them away with the back of her hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She opened the door and walked out with a cold, tight expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy returned to the court, and Rolf had already arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s face showed nothing, but Max and Skyla watched him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy said, \u201cI\u2019m done playing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Max asked, \u201cWhere\u2019s Ayla?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying tennis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skyla blinked. \u201cShe knows how to play?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rolf let out a sharp laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was pretending again. Copying everything Skyla did. It disgusted him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
