Draven said, “I’ve never been afraid of Troy. No matter what he does, I can always find a way to deal with it…”

He let out a sigh. “People really shouldn’t have a weak spot. Once you do, you’re always at a disadvantage.

“Draven, are you really just going to let this end like this?” Herman asked.

Draven answered without hesitation, “No.” His eyes slowly turned cold. “Never.”

Ayla was his weak spot. Because of her, he was always at a disadvantage. But without that weak spot, he wouldn’t be himself anymore.

Right now, the only thing Draven worried about was Ayla. He worried about how she was doing these days. He would rather suffer a hundred times more pain than let Ayla shed even one more tear for him. Just thinking about her made his chest ache. He closed his eyes and said softly, “Drive.”

As the words fell, a single tear slid down from the corner of his eye.

Draven didn’t want to fail Ayla’s love. But he also hoped she wouldn’t care about him so much. He didn’t even need her to love him that deeply, because he would rather take on everything himself just to stay with her.

If you can’t get past it, then does that mean … there’s no future for us?

Even if it really is impossible, Draven still insisted on turning the impossible into a possibility.

Ayla told her coworkers that she had caught a bad cold and wasn’t feeling well. These days, she worked nonstop. If she couldn’t sleep at night, she got up to work. Sometimes she cried while reading complex files.

Work helped block out everything else. Still, Halle complained that Draven seemed like he wanted to break up, since he didn’t even check on Ayla.

Ayla said nothing. She knew Halle had noticed something and was testing her. Halle just didn’t have the heart to say it out loud.

She hadn’t contacted Draven for a whole week. They didn’t block each other, and they shared mutual friends, so they could reach each other anytime.

Chapter 596 Empty Reality

But Ayla knew the first few days were critical. Once she contacted him and heard his familier voice, all the effort she had put into holding on would collapse, and she would fall right back to the start.

The business trip was finally coming to an end. Ayla had thought about not going back to Westhaven and staying somewhere else. But there were too many documents in her home office, so she had to go back.

Halle parked in Ayla’s underground garage. She could see how resistant Ayla was about going home. “Why don’t you come stay at my place for a few days?”

“Forget it. I’ll go home. I have to face it sooner or later. Before getting out of the car, Ayla held Halle’s hand. “I know you’re worried about me. You probably already know. Yes, Draven and I broke up. I’ll tell you the details when I’m in a better state.”

Halle wanted to comfort her, but seeing Ayla like this made her heart hurt. She even wanted to cry with her. But since Ayla was holding it together, Halle forced herself to stay strong too. She decided to wait until Ayla felt better to ask.

“Okay. I’ll listen to you. I’ll wait. Everything will get better.”

Ayla gave a muffled response, got out of the car, and went home.

She walked out of the elevator and stopped in front of her door. She had come home so many times before. After taking a deep breath, she felt a little calmer.

She scanned her fingerprint, and the door opened. She usually called out Draven’s name without thinking. Just now, she almost did the same. But when she realized it, only the sound “Dra-” left her mouth before she stopped. She took half a step forward and froze completely.

The photo of her and Draven that used to be right in sight was gone. In its place was nothing but a blank space.

Ayla stood there for a few seconds. Then, as if she had been shocked by electricity, she rushed inside.

She looked everywhere, but everything was gone. The home that once felt full suddenly felt so empty. The past few months felt like a dream. She had prepared a study for Draven. complete with the upgraded security system she installed herself. That was still there. The gifts Draven gave her were still there. The extra health supplements in the kitchen cabinets were still there. Even the unopened art piece was still there.

This wasn’t a dream.

It was just that Draven was gone. Even the air no longer carried his scent.
