\u201cFine, fine, I\u2019m done arguing with you. But we need to be mentally prepared. If it is Zane behind this, what do we do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the mention of Zane, Kaleb immediately thought of Juliet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zane was Juliet\u2019s stepson, and the irony of that made Kaleb\u2019s jaw tighten.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pinched the bridge of his nose. \u201cWe crush him. What else?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was Zane going to do-complain?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb wouldn\u2019t care about Juliet. He would absolutely go after the guy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, only Ayla would be dumb enough to still care about Juliet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Juliet had long stopped treating the Keatons as family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anyone who couldn\u2019t see that-who kept clinging on-ended up like Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had fallen apart years ago, circling a man who didn\u2019t love her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was the most foolish woman he\u2019d ever seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb knew he was no saint-selfish, cold, indifferent. He had watched Ayla step into a burning pit with her eyes open and never said a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let her get hurt. Let her suffer until she finally woke up. When she finally crawled out, he planned to kick her back down and sneer at her stupidity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever state Ayla was in now, Kaleb had stopped caring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And even if he did care-what good would it do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
This family had fallen apart long ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surviving their own messes was already hard enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb suddenly remembered something. \u201cWhen are you going to ask your brother to come out for a meal? He gave our company a hundred million-I should thank him in person.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb refused to take Ayla\u2019s money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett had simply asked Troy to \u201ccooperate,\u201d so Kaleb didn\u2019t think too much of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s insanely busy. Forget it.\u201d Emmett said. \u201cWe have plenty going on anyway.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kaleb didn\u2019t push it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were indeed bigger problems to solve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until Monday after work that they finally confirmed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
RuneLogic really was behind the attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After tracking Zane\u2019s location, Kaleb grabbed his car keys and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett tried to stop him-failed-and instantly called Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAyla! RuneLogic hacked our entire database. Kaleb\u2019s already on his way to fight them-I can\u2019t hold him back!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t bother hiding anything now. \u201cRuneLogic is backed by Winston Group. If they start a fight, the one we provoke is Troy\u2019s family. We\u2019ll be dead. Only you can stop this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s grip on her phone tightened. \u201cSend me the address.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight away!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to hold Kaleb off. Don\u2019t let him touch anyone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll find more people!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emmett didn\u2019t like meddling in Ayla\u2019s personal life, but right now, he had no choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sacha looked over. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? You look pale.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething came up.\u201d Ayla stood. \u201cI need to make a call.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead. If you need help, tell me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla walked into the break room. She pulled up Troy Winston\u2019s number. No hesitation-she dialed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He picked up almost instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was suspiciously fast, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas it you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t explain anything-but Troy still replied with a low, indifferent \u201cMm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, because I refused to quit my job, you retaliate like this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t listen. This is your own fault.\u201d Troy\u2019s tone was calm, elegant even.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But what he said was vicious. \u201cBy the way, that hickey from last night-did Draven see it? What was his reaction? Jealous?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Disgusting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTroy, do you understand what divorce means? It means whatever I do has nothing to do with you anymore-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, I know. But you crossed my line. Ayla, if you\u2019d just behave, none of this would\u2019ve happened.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One kiss mark wasn\u2019t enough punishment. He needed something bigger. He wanted her to quit immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t love Ayla, but the idea of her being anywhere near Draven made him burn, even if there was no romance involved. Even if they simply worked in the same building. It was unacceptable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And really, did Ayla actually think she could divorce him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
D\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she wanted a smooth divorce, she should have been sweet, obedient, and contrite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead, she challenged him. Wasn\u2019t she just trying to get his attention?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had used Draven as a weapon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Draven was a very sharp weapon. Troy hadn\u2019t cared about Ayla for three years, but this morning, he learned something new: She had a brother named Kaleb Keaton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Ayla wanted to provoke him, he would show her consequences she couldn\u2019t bear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t need to lift a finger. One minute on the phone was enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After that, he didn\u2019t think about her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was how Troy always treated her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Good or bad, Ayla never occupied space in his heart. Punishing her was like finishing a cup of coffee- something he would forget five minutes later.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After Ayla hung up, Emmett\u2019s message came in with the address.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It happened to be the end of the workday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla clocked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She got into her Range Rover-but didn\u2019t start the engine immediately. Instead, she opened her laptop. Her fingers flew across the keyboard-Windows popped open, code filled the screen-Then, the feed switched to live surveillance footage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She studied it, expression chilling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, without a word, she drove out of the lot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
