Chapter 651 A Choice That Broke Her Heart

Finished

Most people cannot hide pain that deep. But Ayla could. No matter how badly something hurt her, she could push it down and lock it away. On the outside, she showed almost nothing.

When the pain became too much, when she was pushed past her limit, her weakness would slip

out.

Like it did now.

Part of it might have come from the trauma she carried.

When something intense happened, her mind reacted quickly. Because she had been hurt before, her brain treated it like danger. It believed the shock might be too much for her, so it stepped in to protect her. Her mind shut down certain thoughts and emotions, blocking out things that were too painful to face.

Like the child she had lost.

Looking back, Ayla seemed to recover from the miscarriage surprisingly fast. She never brought it up to anyone. It was almost as if the whole thing had faded away.

That was until Troy unexpectedly presented her with a stack of legal documents and pregnancy reports. Those documents revealed something she never expected. She had twins. At that moment, the memory of the baby she had lost came rushing back. The old wound opened

once more.

Ayla’s reaction was intense.

Back then, she simply couldn’t handle everything at once–the complicated situation between Troy, Draven, and the babies.

And because she had already lost a child, she couldn’t bring herself to turn away from the new lives with her genes.

But choosing the children brought another worry. How would Draven react? Even if he sub accepted it now, would that feeling last?

Their relationship had only been steady for eight months. It had never been tested by real storms. If things broke apart later, the pain would only come back again.

Ayla felt completely torn. During those days, she kept thinking about Juliana. She wished Juliana could tell her what to do. She wanted someone to pull her out of the confusion.

But eventually, she followed her own heart.

Chapter 651 A Choice That Broke Her Heart

Ayla chose to end the relationship.

Maybe it was cowardly. Maybe she just wanted to run away. After all, the babies were hers, not Draven’s. The children had no real connection to him.

Maybe he could accept them and stay with her, offering patience and understanding.

But what if he changed his mind one day?

If Draven couldn’t accept the children anymore, he could walk away at any time. He had no real bond with them, no duty tying him down. If he left, no one could blame him. And Ayla would have no right to ask him to stay.

But Ayla was different. She couldn’t walk away. And she wouldn’t.

Troy might have created this situation with the twins, but the children were still tied to her alone. She had been pulled into it.

And now, Ayla had to carry the responsibility herself.

Draven’s promise was still just a promise.

But what she and Draven were facing now was far more complicated than that.

Ayla understood better than anyone how fragile promises could be.

How could she base her future happiness on a promise from Draven and keep seeing him as if nothing had changed?

With Troy and the children now tied to her life, Ayla could no longer see a clear path forward with Draven.

Maybe it was the wounds from her past. Maybe she lacked confidence. Maybe it was fear. Or maybe she simply didn’t trust Draven enough. Perhaps she had never truly imagined marrying him and facing life’s risks side by side. Or maybe she was afraid of how much it would hurt if he abandoned her someday.

Whatever the reason, Troy’s sudden appearance with the twins shattered the calm life Ayla once had. It happened so quickly that she had no time to prepare,

And once things reached this point, no one could pull her back.

Ayla didn’t believe anyone could help her anyway.

She chose the simplest path and ended things with Draven. There’s no point in keeping hurting

each other.

Chapter 651 A Choice That Broke Her Heart

She could carry everything on her own.

Finished

The children were tied to her by blood, a bond that would last for life. Ayla believed she could raise them well.

That kind of connection gave her a real sense of security. But an eight–month relationship could never offer the same certainty.

By choosing to break up, Ayla knew she had let Draven down.

But who had never let someone down before? In friendship, family, or love, everyone has failed someone or hurt a relationship at some point.

At least Ayla had never toyed with Draven’s feelings. When they were together, she truly cared for him. She tried to make him happy and paid attention to his emotions. She wasn’t simply enjoying his devotion while giving nothing in return. She had given him her heart. And she knew Draven had enjoyed the warmth and tenderness she brought into his life. Their time together had given him many beautiful memories.

As his girlfriend, Ayla had nothing to feel ashamed of. She had never betrayed him.

She simply made a choice.

She chose the children.

And that choice meant letting Draven go.

So the ending was simple; they went their separate ways.

As for the fact that Draven didn’t try to stop her, Ayla didn’t feel she had the right to complain. After all, she was the one who asked for the breakup.

And in the end, it didn’t matter anymore.

Ayla doubted they would ever be together again. Thinking about whether Draven truly cared for her would only bring unnecessary pain.

Maybe this was another way her mind protected itself. Some things were better left alone.

Draven’s firm departure also made it easier for Ayla to harden her heart.

The harder her heart became, the sooner she could face the responsibilities ahead, instead of placing her hopes on Draven and expecting him to help carry the weight,

If that hope ever collapsed, the pain would be too much to bear.
