Ayla snapped. “Why should I cry for you? So you can feel like I can’t live without you? Or do you just want to see me loving you so much that I lose all my dignity? Does that make good?”

Her eyes were red and burning. “Troy, think about how you treated me these past three years. And after Skyla came back, how you treated her. I never pointed at your face and called you a manipulative jerk who doesn’t know how to protect the woman he’s with. You should be grateful I still gave you some respect. And now you have the nerve to ask why I’m not crying for you? You want to see me break for you? Lose myself for you? Why should I ever feed that dark, twisted thought in your head?”

Troy let out a cold laugh. “So at the end of the day, you’re just angry I didn’t love you. If it bothered you that much, why divorce me? If we stayed married, you’d be my wife forever. You could cling to me for the rest of your life. Isn’t that what you wanted?”

Ayla clenched her teeth. “Do you think I’m foolish? Do you think I’m worthless? Why would I waste my whole life on a man who doesn’t love me? Why would I stay in a marriage that gave me zero hope? I already wasted three years. I’m done. I want a life without you. I want my own future. Did you hear me?”

Troy’s chest tightened. His vision even went dark for a second. “Then why did you love me so much back then? Why insist on marrying me?”

“Then why did you marry me?” Ayla shot back. “You didn’t love me. You could’ve said no. Do you really think your grandpa would force you to marry a woman you didn’t love? If you refused, what could I have done? Dragged you to the altar? I couldn’t. I wouldn’t. I would’ve accepted it. I would’ve stayed away from you. And if you had never married me, I wouldn’t have suffered these three years!”

Troy’s voice dropped to ice. “So basically, you should’ve never fallen in love with me.”

Ayla’s entire body shook, and her heart felt torn open, bleeding and raw with wounds. “What’s wrong with loving someone? Tell me. What is so wrong about loving someone?”

She grabbed his collar and stared straight into his eyes. Her voice was sharp and fierce. “Say it. What is wrong with loving someone?”

Troy clenched his jaw hard.

But he said nothing.

Ayla’s voice broke, anger and pain mixing together. “With how unreasonable you are, maybe you shouldn’t have saved me that day. You should’ve let me drown. If you hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t have loved you. And none of this would’ve happened.”

She stepped back, her voice hoarse. “Do you ever ask yourself the same question? Was saving someone a mistake too?”

Ayla stared at Troy’s tight jawline and frozen expression. Her heart was wounded by him once again. But seeing him like this brought a strange rush of satisfaction. Maybe she was a little crazy too. “If you think saving someone was a mistake,” she said coldly, “then I really have nothing left to say!”

The next second, she let go of him. Her strength drained away, leaving her weak and empty. Her voice turned cold and mocking. “What’s the point of arguing with you? We’re already divorced. We’re over. Whatever the cause or reason doesn’t matter anymore.”

Almost the moment she finished speaking, the document stamped with the words “divorce certificate” was handed to them by the officer.

Both of their gazes locked on those two words at the same time.

Both pairs of eyes hardened instantly.

Just seconds ago, the officer thought these two had no feelings for each other. Now they were snapping at each other with so much force that even the people waiting in line stepped back.

Terrified, the officer rushed to process their paperwork quicker. One second too late, and she felt these two might actually start a fight.

But once the divorce certificates were handed over, they were no longer husband and wife. Legally, they had nothing to do with each other anymore.

The officer only wanted to get this pair out of the room. “Next!” she called.

But neither Ayla nor Troy stepped aside. The officer heart jumped up into her throat. Were they really about to start another fight? Or worse–get physical?

She froze at this thought. She’d seen many couples divorce, even extreme cases–like a man stabbing his wife right in the courthouse. But looking at these two, they clearly weren’t ordinary people. They had power, money, and a polished life. If they acted out, the fallout would be huge.

Still, rich people had their own brand of crazy. Just in case, she tensed up, ready to intervene the moment something happened.

But she was overthinking it. They didn’t fight. They didn’t argue.

Troy took his copy of the divorce certificate. The sharp anger in his eyes faded, replaced by a calm, icy distance. Then he turned to Ayla. Some of that coldness actually softened.

Ayla picked up her copy. She felt Troy looking at her, so she glanced back. He was handsome- handsome enough that even if “jerk” were tattooed across his forehead, plenty of people would still throw themselves at him. But not her. Not anymore.

The divorce certificate she had waited so long for was finally in her hands. She thought she should say something–anything. But after that argument, she found she had nothing left to

say.
