Chapter 118 Shifting Power
Chapter 118 Shifting Power
A smile tugged at Alya’s lips. “Mr. Storm, wait for me. I’m coming to drink with you.”
Ayla spun the wheel and smoothly backed the car out of the lot.
Time to drink.
Troy rushed home. What greeeted him was an empty living room.
“Laura!” he roared.
Startled, Laura ran out from the kitchen. When she saw Troy’s dark, terrifying face, she froze.
It was the first time she’d ever seen Troy this angry.
Ayla had really pushed him.”
“Where is she?” he snapped. “Speak!”
“Mrs. Winston came by, took her things, and left,” Laura stammered.
“She didn’t say anything else?”
“She… she did.”
“Tell me!”
Laura was on the verge of tears. “She… she said she won’t be coming back.”
Troy’s face went pale with rage.

The pressure in the room dropped so sharply it was suffocating. Laura had never seen him like this.
“I think she really meant it,” she mumbled, trembling. “I don’t know what’s going on with her.”
Troy clenched his fists.
He didn’t know either.
In the past, even if she left after a fight, she’d be back in a day or two. Always.
This time was different.
Troy didn’t care that deeply about Ayla. But back in the car, the way she had lost control, hitting and biting
him-that had shaken him.
For the first time, he found himself curious about what she was really feeling.
And then, just like that, she got out of the car.

Chapter 118 Shifting Power
The way she yanked the handbrake and took control of the wheel-smooth, precise, confident.
She clearly knew how to drive well.

He suddenly remembered all those times over the past three years when she’d driven. She was a good driver. He’d just never noticed.
And now, one question after another about Ayla began to surface in his mind.
Laura hadn’t heard him say anything in a while. She looked up. Her heart still heavy from Ayla’s departure, she hesitantly asked, “Mr. Winston, is Mrs. Winston really going to divorce you?”
Troy flinched at the word “divorce”.
He had never taken it seriously.
Ayla had mentioned divorce so many times, but she always came back. He had been absolutely sure of it. She didn’t need coaxing. She always came back on her own. That had been their pattern for the past three
years.
But what if this time she meant it?
The thought hit him like a truck.
For the first time, Troy realized he wasn’t ready for divorce.
His hands clenched at his sides. Joints cracking. The sound sharp in the silence.
He was stunned by his own thoughts.
He wasn’t ready to divorce Ayla?
How ridiculous.
He despised her. He should be thrilled she wanted to leave.
If she could actually walk away, he’d even give her some credit.

Laura didn’t get a reply. Troy simply turned and left. His face showed no emotion, just the usual calm indifference.
But was it real?
He used to be indifferent because he didn’t care.
But now? Now he was angry.
Laura thought about it. She honestly hoped Ayla would come back.
If they didn’t divorce, maybe Troy wouldn’t be so angry.

The readers' comments on the novel: Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla)
Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
