Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 233

Good thing Martin's birthday celebration was coming up soon.

Vivian would be coming to Trensea as well.

Draven kept rubbing ointment on Ayla's wrist, speaking like it was nothing. "Troy saw you kiss me in the car, didn't he?"

Ayla kept her head down. "Yeah. That's what set him off."

"You worried it's too much and scared to keep putting on a show with me to mess with Troy?"

"We can't let him throw a fit and be right," Ayla said. "He overreacted because it was the first time. That's normal. If it happens more, he'll get used to it. The more he flips, the more we know it's working. Nothing to fear."

Then she added, "Besides, with you around, I have nothing to be afraid of."

"Planning to keep using me?"

Ayla was stunned. "You don't want to do it anymore?"

Draven said flatly, "We both hate Troy. Of course I'm in."

She relaxed. Draven was Troy's weak spot. If he didn't cooperate, she'd lose her edge whenever Troy tried to mess with her.

Thinking about teaming up made her realize she was getting the better deal. She needed to give Draven a little in return first—she couldn't wait until the end.

"Draven, I won't hide it from you. Troy was acting weird tonight. It's like he doesn't want me to leave him. Of course, I'm not going back. But if he changes his mind, he'll keep showing up and causing trouble."

Tonight, Troy had tied her up and tried to drag her away. If he spiraled, he might even try to kidnap her abroad. It was illegal, but Troy wouldn't care. He could absolutely make it happen.

Maybe she was exaggerating. Maybe it was just an emotional fit, and he'd calm down once he accepted the situation.

But those were just guesses. Ayla had to think in worst-case scenarios and be prepared.

"Troy has the power to crush me like an ant, so all I can do is ask you for help. It means you'll end up doing even more. We said we'd team up to piss him off, but at this rate, I'm just using you to shield me from his nonsense."

Draven met her eyes. "Feeling guilty?"

Ayla nodded. "Even friends don't burden each other this much."
