Chapter 165 A Debt She Can’t Avoid

Ayla’s face tightened.

Troy had just lost control. It didn’t look like he planned to stop anytime soon.

Both Troy and Bria had moods that flipped like a switch. Ayla had no idea when he might snap again. The thought made her uneasy.

Troy never liked her that much anyway, so who knew what he’d do next?

Just as she was thinking about it, Draven’s cool, sharp voice cut in, heavy with irritation. “You came to me first. You used me, and now you want to walk away? You think it’s that easy?”

Ayla’s expression shifted dramatically.

She knew very well how much Draven hated dealing with people. And their cooperation only happened once. To her, it barely mattered, so she thought she should just clear things up today.

She pe

She never expected him to be upset.

Ayla panicked. “Mr. Storm, I just didn’t want to trouble you.”

Draven’s voice stayed low and steady, but it carried a strange sense of safety. “As long as I’m here, he won’t dare lay a hand on you. And you’re telling me you don’t want the protection? Why throw away something useful for free? Doesn’t that make you a fool?”

Ayla knew Draven was a powerful shield to hide behind. And from the way he said that, he wanted her under his protection.

His tone was strong, almost commanding.

As if not taking advantage of him would be her mistake.

Ayla thought for a moment, then said honestly, “Wouldn’t it be too obvious that I’m using you?”

Draven didn’t answer her question at all. “It’s not just Troy. You can come to me anytime if Bria comes after you.”

Ayla had no words.

So basically, the big brother was disciplining the younger sibling.

Of course, part of this came from the long-standing hatred between Draven and Troy,

If Ayla ran into the siblings again, she wouldn’t be scared anymore. She could deal with Bria through her identity as Sol. Meanwhile, Troy had Martin holding him back.

But those two siblings had power and connections she could never match. That was exactly why they never took her seriously. They caused trouble whenever they felt like it, without the slightest guilt or hesitation.

She needed someone who could shut them down.

At the very least, when they tried to push her around again, they would think twice. That was a good thing.

And the only person who could truly keep them in line was Draven.

With everything he said, refusing would make her look ungrateful.

Besides, she had no real reason to say no. In the end, Ayla nodded, “Alright.”

She let out a small breath.

Ayla was careful and tried to hide it so Draven wouldn’t notice. But he was too sharp. He caught it immediately. “What’s wrong? Taking advantage of me makes you unhappy now?”

Ayla grew uneasy again. “You’re too generous, boss. I’m just an employee. I don’t know how to repay you.”

Draven didn’t need anything. Buying him a gift felt impossible.

He had once asked her to cook for him, but she couldn’t invite him to dinner every single time.

She wasn’t the kind of person who could accept favors for no reason. It made her feel shameless.

Draven could tell she was trying to draw a clear line between them. But that was the last thing he wanted. He wanted those lines blurred until they weren’t there at all.

Until Ayla belonged completely in his world.

And meanwhile, he intended to barge right into hers, so boldly that even if she closed her eyes, she still wouldn’t escape him.

So he said in a calm, proper tone, “If wiping the slate clean makes you uncomfortable, then keep the debt. It’ll make you feel better.”

Ayla didn’t relax. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay you back.”

“Am I asking for something outrageous?” Draven asked.

Ayla stayed quiet.

He added, “I only asked for two things-help me win once at the card table and cook me a supper. That’s

it.”

Then Draven promised, “I won’t make things hard for you. And I won’t ask for something you can’t repay.”

Ayla finally breathed easier. “Alright.”

A partnership should benefit both sides.

Ayla understood that perfectly. She also knew Draven hadn’t shown her any warmth until the charity gala at House of Myur, when he learned she was divorcing Troy.

Before that, Draven had barely looked at her.
