They had officially gotten divorced. And right after that, Troy caught her at a bar with a male escort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a twisted kind of fate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla looked Troy up and down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had fought with Draven earlier. He clearly didn\u2019t win anything from it. Now he had cleaned himself up, trying hard to look normal, but the mess still showed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy rarely endured Ayla \u201clooking him over,\u201d so his face turned even darker. \u201cWhat are you doing here? And who is he?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla laughed at him. \u201cWhat else do people do besides drink in the bar? Did you want everyone to know your ex-wife is so broke she has to work here just to afford food?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy snapped, \u201cDon\u2019t change the subject.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shot Casey a cold, sharp glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey instantly froze. When Max looked at him with annoyance back in the private lounge, it felt more like teasing. Even if Max wasn\u2019t thrilled with him, Casey knew Max wouldn\u2019t actually hurt him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But this man? Casey was truly scared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s eyes were too dark, too dangerous, like he might leap forward and bite him at any second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Casey was over six feet tall, a grown man, yet a single look from Troy sent fear crawling up his spine. Meanwhile, Ayla didn\u2019t flinch at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No wonder he couldn\u2019t charm her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The difference in level was right there in front of him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla said calmly, \u201cI don\u2019t owe you an explanation about who he is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Knowing exactly what Troy was about to say, she helped him finish. \u201cLet me guess-just because I\u2019m standing next to a man, you think there\u2019s something going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018re really that eager to imagine someone\u2019s cheating on you, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her expression twisted with disgust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she corrected herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait. My mistake. We\u2019re divorced. Even did cheat, it has nothing to do with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her smile faded. \u201cMove.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he heard the word \u201ccheating,\u201d Troy snapped. His expression turned eerie and vicious. He blocked her path. \u201cAyla, who gave you the nerve to talk to me like this?!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
want 73\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBasic human rights,\u201d Ayla said. \u201cWhen I see someone acting like trash, I get to treat them however I want\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ayla wasn\u2019t used to seeing Troy lose control like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the past, he was always the cold, distant one. She was the one who used to tiptoe around him, afraid he\u2019d be upset.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now? She actually enjoyed watching him unravel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking calmly at his furious face brought her an unexpected sense of peace. She glanced over him again and added, \u201cYou\u2019re acting so worked up, it almost makes me think you didn\u2019t want this divorce. Like I\u2019m the one who dumped you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy was an arrogant man\u2014so arrogant he demanded she love him unconditionally for life. Of course he couldn\u2019t stand her change.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was losing control, yes, but Ayla knew this wasn\u2019t love. He just couldn\u2019t accept that she no longer cared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t going to feed his ego anymore. \u201cYou look like a clown,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy nearly lost it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He held onto what little control he had left. Even furious, he kept his face set in that same cold, gloomy expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did I never notice you were this sharp-tongued before? This good at throwing insults?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla heard the way he ground his teeth. It made her laugh for real. \u201cYou really can\u2019t figure it out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She chuckled and stepped a little closer, smiling in a way that was sweet on the surface and pure sarcasm underneath. \u201cThat\u2019s the difference between loving someone and not loving someone. You used to be a star in my sky.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then her voice turned icy, not masking her disgust. \u201cBut now? You\u2019re trash. And I don\u2019t owe trash a pleasant expression.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla was not the type to attack people for no reason. It was Troy\u2019s fault for messing with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already pushed her past her limit at the courthouse, and now he was doing it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t going to be polite anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just minutes earlier, Ayla had been enjoying Casey\u2019s service-being cared for, admired, and spoiled. It felt so good she could hardly stop herself from getting used to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right now, snapping back at Troy felt just as satisfying. There was no need to act classy. She had given up\u00a0<\/p>\n
on that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, she had Draven to back her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had already broken the chains in her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Draven had promised that she could use him, and the price he asked was something she could afford.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was nothing left for her to worry about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s breathing grew heavy with anger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+10 Free Coins\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at Ayla like he wanted to tear every mask off her face, just to see which version of her was real.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His fists tightened. And suddenly, he had to admit, he really was pathetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Ayla was gentle and obedient, it boosted his ego and made him feel good, but he barely paid attention to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But when Ayla looked at him like this-sharp, fearless, daring-he was furious, but he couldn\u2019t look away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He even caught himself wondering what other bold, reckless thing she might do next.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla saw he had fallen silent, so she moved to leave. \u201cStep aside. I\u2019m sick of seeing you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Troy didn\u2019t blink. \u201cTell that guy to get lost.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s eyes turned cold. \u201cWhy are you sticking your nose into my business?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo what I said,\u201d Troy ordered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla\u2019s voice was icy calm. \u201cSure. But I\u2019ll just call another male escort after that. You can\u2019t watch me twenty- four hours a day. Whenever you\u2019re not looking, I\u2019ll still have men around me. So why waste the effort?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
