Chapter 142 His Shameless Side\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy said, \u201cAyla, listen up. I\u2019ll never love you, not in this life. No matter what you throw at me, you\u2019re just kidding yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, he sneered. Even sitting down, he acted superior, looking down at her. There was even a hint of amusement on his face. \u201cSince we\u2019ve got two days before the divorce certificate, let\u2019s spend our anniversary today. We\u2019ll get through it, then I\u2019ll divorce you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I hate this marriage more than you do!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A month ago, Ayla would\u2019ve felt crushed hearing Troy\u2019s cold, ruthless words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now? She just saw him clearly as a total jerk. She remembered the three years of mental abuse, his indifference, the way he ignored her thoughts and treated her like she didn\u2019t exist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d gotten away with it because she used to love him. Now? Not a chance. His words didn\u2019t sting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes were colder than his. \u201cYou keep saying you don\u2019t love me, and I just want a clean break. But you want to celebrate our wedding anniversary? Are you crazy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy couldn\u2019t get over her icy stare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had gone from cool to completely cold, and it strangely fit her. Back then, her eyes had been full of love for him, hiding the reserved woman she really was. Her love had been rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Troy realized he didn\u2019t know Ayla at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t just sharper, more aggressive. Inside and out, she was unfamiliar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Aggression could be venting, but that was pure, honest disgust. Aggression was just one way her disgust showed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never seen such clear revulsion and finality in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He went quiet for a few seconds, just staring at her face and her figure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, he met her gaze. \u201cYou put too much stock in anniversaries. Who says spending one together means celebrating the good parts of a marriage? We can flip it. Celebrate the mess we made, then get the divorce certificate and call it a day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla hadn\u2019t thought about it that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStill hesitant? Worried Draven next door will see us together and get jealous? Ayla, you live in your own head sometimes. He\u2019d never care about you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was tired of him bringing Draven up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether he cares or not has nothing to do with you. You\u2019re just the pot calling the kettle black. I\u2019m not like you. I\u2019d only wish you and Skyla a sweet life together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Troy was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla pointed to the door. \u201cGet out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression went cold. \u201cFunny. I just realized how obedient you used to be.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, she was completely different, and it burned him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m ashamed of my past,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo whatever you want to \u2018celebrate\u2019 today, count me out. Monday morning, courthouse. End of story.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re so eager to cut ties. What if I don\u2019t play along?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy showed his shameless side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was ready. She didn\u2019t care if he cooperated or not. Even without the divorce certificate, he was already a closed chapter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nothing more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She\u2019d been thinking that she\u2019d decided to leave him when she signed the divorce papers. So why did she still feel weak around him? Did she still love him? Still expect something? Still fall into old habits?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later, she realized she cared too much. She had been clinging to tiny warm memories from the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy was already her enemy, but a few sweet memories had kept her from treating him harshly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once he finally crushed the last bit of her old attachment, she was done. Looking at him now felt like looking at a corpse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she shifted her mindset, Ayla had asked Draven to help make Troy squirm. At the time, she didn\u2019t think she could face him alone-she needed backup to stay strong\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven had been reliable and agreed to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But after the airport, everything inside her changed. Strength filled her. Even standing alone in front of Troy, she felt no fear and wouldn\u2019t flinch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once her heart got stronger, her perspective shifted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s shameless antics couldn\u2019t intimidate her anymore. If anything, they just made him look like a paper tiger-lots of noise, no real bite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
