Ada’s fingers flexed around the steering wheel. The situation with Lucas was going downhill faster than she could repair it. She needed to get rid of Elaine somehow.

But Ayla had no idea what exactly that could entail. What would possibly make Lucas dislike Elaine now? He was willing to donate so much money to her foundation and for what? Because he was proud of her?

Did he admire her?

The thought made Ayla sick.

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened until her knuckles turned white. She was losing Lucas. He was going to throw her out. He’d leave her. He’d–

Ayla nearly ran into the car in front of her. She slammed on the break, eyes going wide. Her car idled in the middle of the road for far longer than it should have. Finally, she pulled off to the side. 1

Maybe she should get her mind off of this. Go for a walk…maybe shopping? She had plenty to spend. Lucas still gave her an allowance.

So he had to still care, right?

Ayla parked her car and got out, her hands trembling lightly as she tried to come up with a way to get Li more than just tolerate her in his house.

She wasn’t even sure of her relationship status with him anymore. They weren’t exactly dating.

She picked up the pace down the street, passing by a casino. It was one of the smaller ones in the city. Not one that drew as big, or as glamorous, a crowd as the ones further out. It was some dive that the more desperate clung to.

Ayla paused, spotting a familiar figure being shoved out the front doors of the run–down establishment. Speaking of desperate…

Elaine’s stepbrother. Matthew.

He landed in a heap on the ground. The security guard dusted his hands. “And don’t come back until you can pay what you owe,” the man spat.

“Piss off!” Matthew snapped back, standing up and glaring at the casino.

Ayla was about to turn on her heel and walk away, she had little interest in whatever trouble Matthew was in…

Until she got an idea. She studied Matthew as he brushed his pants off, is ego bruised more than anything else. She smiled faintly and approached. “Hey! Matthew, right?” she asked.
