Ayla’s eyes were locked on Draven’s back, her jaw nigdha.

Confronted with knives and guns, most people would freeze or panic. But when someone stepped forward at that exact moment, calm and uncering, the terrified crowd couldn’t help but be drawn to his authority. He did what they couldn’t, and instinctively, they felt compelen to follow and rely on him.

For a moment, Ayla was stunned and impressed.

Then, she shook it off. Her mind raced.

Draven must’ve seen her talking to Luke at the party. When the scandal hit, he probably guessed it was her. That was why he brought her onto Shawn’s yacht.

Luke, unhinged as ever, followed. Draven likely expected that. And being in Aqualith, he could rely on Shawn’s power.

What should’ve been a simple revenge situation turned into a turf clash Shawn got pulled into. If Luke crossed Shawn, he wasn’t walking away unscathed.

Draven pulled Shawn into it. He was supposed to be Shawn’s honored guest, but Shawn had basically been made a pawn for nothing. And now, he still had to apologize to Draven.

Ayla replayed everything in her head, heart racing.

Her tech? Luke would never find it. Even if he suspected her, he had no proof. He couldn’t touch her.

But she’d been thinking too small.

People without limits didn’t care about evidence. If they didn’t like you, they’d just kill you—no reason needed.

The real danger was deeper, hidden under the surface. Aqualith was full of that.

This week had been a brutal lesson for Ayla.

Shawn finished issuing orders and waved a hand. A server brought two glasses. He handed one to Draven. “My apologies.”

Draven accepted it, took a sip, and then set it down. He grabbed Ayla’s wrist and led her to the lounge.

He sank onto the couch while she stayed standing.

“Take a seat.”

His face was calm, like the chaos earlier hadn’t even happened. Not a single flicker of tension.

Ayla couldn’t stop thinking about how he’d held the gun–steady, sharp as steel.

“I’ll stand for now.”

“All figured out?” Draven’s eyes were heavy, pinning her in place.

“I did,” she said.

His gaze stayed on her pale, brave yet clearly rattled face. “Good.”

He didn’t seem like he wanted to pry. Ayla hesitated. “Mr. Storm, about tonight …

”

“You came to work with me and got harassed. That’s on me,” Draven said. “You trying to fight back was good, but Luke has no limits. Your approach was too soft.”

“I understand.” Ayla nodded.

“Sit.”

She finally did, and then asked, “Mr. Storm, if Mr. Shawn hadn’t hosted this yacht party, would you still have gone to him?”

Draven glanced at her. “Yeah.”

So he really planned to use Shawn all along.

“You dragged Mr. Shawn into this for me. If he realizes it, could it cause a problem between you two?”
