Ayla was ready to leave. She didn\u2019t even bother saying goodbye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stood up to let the people behind her pass.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had just turned when Troy followed her. After only a few steps, he blocked her path.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She frowned. Troy\u2019s face looked calmer now, so she didn\u2019t snap. She met his sharp, deep eyes and asked plainly, \u201cDo you still want to argue with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy held the divorce certificate, rubbing the edge with his thumb. His eyes were fixed on her and nothing else. Then he pulled at the corner of his mouth and, for the first time ever, said, \u201cWify.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s scalp tingled. She stared at him in shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her reaction pleased him. He smirked, but his voice was cold and cutting. \u201cThat\u2019s the last time I\u2019ll call you that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They already got a divorce, but he still came all the way over just to mock her. Ayla was disgusted. \u201cGood. I don\u2019t care at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh? Then what do you care about?\u201d Troy asked in a slow, coaxing tone, like he was someone who could grant her anything she wanted. As if her answer was something he could hand out like a favor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, Ayla spoke from the deepest part of her heart. \u201cI care about a life without you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t know why, but the look of disgust in her eyes actually hurt him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back on the Aqualith, Ayla had yelled at him to get lost, bold and heartless. He never took it seriously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In fact, he had been curious, almost entertained, wondering what other sides of her he\u2019d see. Nothing about that had stung.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, somehow, Ayla\u2019s words cut him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ridiculous,\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could Ayla hurt him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could he let her hurt him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy stayed silent. His face didn\u2019t change. \u201cOh? Really?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally,\u201d Ayla said, firm and low.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy still showed little reaction. He even nodded as if he were agreeing to something serious. Then he walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla curled her hands into fists as she watched him go. After provoking her, he left her with nothing but a cold, distant back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They were already divorced. Ayla shouldn\u2019t feel anything anymore. But the moment she saw Troy turn his back on her again, her chest tightened. She had seen this scene too many times in their three-year marriage. Every time, it cut her deeper. Every time, it reminded her how alone she was with him. She hated it. She hated the way he always walked away first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So she immediately left first, wanting to leave him far behind. But somehow, he still managed to walk off before she did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla clenched her teeth in frustration. But she wasn\u2019t the same woman anymore. Back then, she would stare at his back, hoping he\u2019d turn around. Now, they weren\u2019t a couple anymore. Whether he turned back or not meant nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She headed to the parking garage to get her car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What she didn\u2019t expect was this: the man who had never once turned around actually came storming back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And compared to the calm face he had before he left, this one was twisted with anger-almost vicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was startled and automatically took a step back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy charged toward her, grabbed her wrist, and barked, voice shaking with rage, \u201cWhat am I to you? Some kind of toy? When you love me, you decide to marry me. When you don\u2019t, you just toss me aside? Who gave you that right? How dare you treat me like this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s mind went blank. The shock hit so hard she didn\u2019t even understand his words at first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy leaned in, clenching his jaws, eyes sharp as ice as he glared at her. \u201cI\u2019m asking you! How could you do this to me? What do you take me for?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her blank mind slowly cleared, and a wave of fury rose inside her too. But she didn\u2019t shout back. Instead, she looked straight into Troy\u2019s eyes-searching. For regret. For sadness. But there was nothing. Absolutely nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So what was this outrage for? What was he accusing her of?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla couldn\u2019t understand him at all. She asked quietly, clearly, \u201cTroy, do you love me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t even pause. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla let out a bitter laugh. \u201cSince you don\u2019t love me, what are you making a fuss about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s face turned stone-cold. \u201cAnswer me first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked you,\u201d she cut in, eyes sharp as a blade, \u201cyou don\u2019t love me. So what are you fighting me for? Maybe you should ask yourself what you actually want. Because if you loved me, you wouldn\u2019t have treated me the way you did for three years. And since you never loved me, our marriage meant nothing to you. So losing me shouldn\u2019t matter, right? Isn\u2019t divorce exactly what you wanted? Then what are you yelling at me\u00a0<\/p>\n
about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s face went pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her questions hit him like blows. Ones he couldn\u2019t dodge, ones he couldn\u2019t answer. He didn\u2019t know why the anger was there. It just was. Burning, wild, uncontrollable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said firmly, \u201cTroy, let go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Troy couldn\u2019t think straight anymore. He couldn\u2019t stand the way she looked at him, like she couldn\u2019t wait to leave him behind. Without thinking at all, he roared, \u201cYou said you loved me! Why can\u2019t you love me for life?! You\u2019re the one who wanted to marry me, and now you\u2019re the one determined to leave! Tell me! WHAT AM I TO YOU?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
