Even though Ayla didn\u2019t have the social connections Troy did, her mindset had gotten so much stronger. As a result, she found she could take control over many things that used to feel impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, when faced with Troy\u2019s threats, Ayla just gave a scornful little laugh. \u201cTroy, do you really think you\u2019re the one who gets to decide whether we get divorced?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour threats don\u2019t work on me at all. I\u2019m not afraid of you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s voice was cold. \u201cYou flew all the way to Aqualith this morning to see me, wanting to spend our anniversary together. Since that\u2019s what you want, I\u2019ll spend it with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy looked at her. \u201cThen come with me \u2026 \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u0f0b\u0f0b\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut how we spend the anniversary isn\u2019t up to you. It\u2019s up to me. However I want to spend it, that\u2019s how we\u2019ll do it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you\u2019ll just have to go along with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
These words came out of Ayla only because she was no longer feeling small around Troy. She no longer felt the need to please him, and she\u2019d started caring about her own feelings. That was what it meant to take back control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s expression grew darker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re not willing or can\u2019t do it, then you have one option. Leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s eyes were ice-cold as she looked at Troy. \u201cTroy, our marriage is over. You need to accept that. I have no obligation to go along with you anymore, and you can\u2019t change any of my decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you keep treating me with zero respect and trampling over me like before, Troy, then I\u2019ll make sure you go down with me, even if it takes everything I have.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, Ayla finally understood what it meant to live for herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Self-love meant caring about her own feelings and standing up for herself. She wouldn\u2019t give Troy another chance to order her around or step all over her again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The worst that could happen was they\u2019d go down together. But she refused to let herself get hurt again, so\u00a0<\/p>\n
she had to stand tall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you can\u2019t do it, so just leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had never sounded so sure of herself. She was like a slab of thick, solid ice. No matter how hard Troy tried, she just wouldn\u2019t crack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy had no doubt that even if he threatened her, Ayla was never going to bend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He had all the social power money could buy, and he could pull off things most people could only dream of, but even he was scared to run into someone this stubborn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy stayed silent for a long time, then finally said in a cold voice, \u201cFine. I\u2019ll go along with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was about to treat Troy like he didn\u2019t even exist, but he actually gave in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She never expected there\u2019d be a day when Troy would back down to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
People are really pathetic sometimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla didn\u2019t say anything and just went out to get breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From now on, she would only do what she felt like doin\u00a0<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, Troy actually followed her. Did he really mean to stick with her for their anniversary?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla thought about filing for divorce in two days. If Troy could cooperate, it would all go smoothly. If he just wanted to tag along without causing trouble, it wouldn\u2019t affect her at all, so she didn\u2019t care if he came\u00a0<\/p>\n
or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She ordered room service for breakfast at the hotel, but it never came, so she had to go eat in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To her surprise, she ran into Shawn at the restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie was right behind him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn saw Troy, who looked absolutely gloomy behind Ayla. When he looked at Ayla again, his expression totally changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He immediately said with a smile, \u201cWhat a coincidence, Ms. Keaton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla asked, \u201cAre you here to see Mr. Storm?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn replied, \u201cWe\u2019re here for Mr. Storm-and for\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was surprised. \u201cFor me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLast night, you almost got hurt on my cruise. If Ddn\u2019t stepped in, who knows how things would\u2019ve turned out. You left in such a hurry, so while you\u2019re still in Aqualith, I wanted to apologize to you in person.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla understood. Shawn was here\u00a0<\/p>\n
and to wrap things up neatly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was ready to take\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn to se\u00a0<\/p>\n
explanation, to let him know what happened to Luke,\u00a0<\/p>\n
But then Shawn joked, \u201cMr. Storm really values Ms. Keaton. Last night he even said he wanted to marry\u00a0<\/p>\n

you, haha.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla studied Shawn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sounded like he was joking, but he was really covering for Draven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because of Troy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shawn was Draven\u2019s best friend. In Shawn\u2019s eyes, Ayla was Draven\u2019s secretary, and since Draven cared so much about her, he figured their relationship must be special. He knew that Troy wouldn\u2019t be able to tolerate this, so he felt even more obligated to help his buddy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla couldn\u2019t say she disliked that kind of behavior, but she definitely didn\u2019t like it either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She planned to drop the subject, but Troy\u2019s cold voice sounded right beside her. \u201cAyla, what exactly happened last night?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s none of your business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shawn said, \u201cSince Ms. Keaton doesn\u2019t want to talk about it, I won\u2019t say any more. Troy, don\u2019t make things hard for Ayla, or her boss won\u2019t be happy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy glared at Shawn. \u201cMind your own business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Keaton is my VIP guest. That\u2019s not really meddling.\u201d Shawn just smiled, totally unfazed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla knew right then that Troy was going to bring up their marriage, so she figured she might as herself. \u201cMr. Shawn, Troy is my ex-husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
well say it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever Troy wanted to say got stuck in his throat. He just glared at Ayla, his mood dark and stormy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
