Ayla sat quietly, letting the heaviness wash over her.
The car continued driving toward the airport.
Fabiola turned off the signal blocker inside the car.
Ayla's phone lit up with missed calls and unread messages. Some were from Bria.
Clearly, Bria was safe now.
The rest were from Draven.
Fabiola leaned over curiously, trying to peek at the screen.
Ayla quickly locked her phone.
"So stingy," Fabiola said, pouting.
Ayla frowned. "Looking at other people's phones is rude. You seriously don't respect boundaries."
"Fine, fine. You're right," Fabiola replied with a helpless smile. Then she added, still curious, "But your man is already catching up. He'll be here in a few minutes."
Fabiola clearly knew about Draven and still dared to take Ayla away, which meant she wasn't worried about him catching up. Ayla hadn't understood that earlier, but now she did.
Fabiola was being friendly and clearly trying to get closer to her. She believed she could win Ayla's favor, so she didn't care whether Draven showed up or not.
Ayla couldn't help glancing at her.
Was Fabiola doing that just because it felt fresh and interesting, or did she have another goal?
If it were just for fun, then she should have approached Ayla much earlier.
If it was for some hidden purpose, that made no sense at all.
To outsiders, Fabiola was the only daughter of a wealthy family in Zheron. She had everything she could want. In every way, her life was better than Ayla's. There shouldn't be anything Ayla owned that Fabiola needed. After all, even the company Phil had handed her out of favoritism was one of the top entertainment companies in Drakoria.
Still, there was one thing Fabiola might care deeply about—Phil's inheritance after his death.
But that didn't matter to Ayla. Over the years, neither she nor Kaleb had ever asked Phil for anything, and he had never helped them either. They had managed fine on their own.
And with how distant their relationship already was, there was no way Ayla would pretend to be a loving daughter just to get her name into his will. She would rather die. If she told Kaleb that idea, he would probably cut ties with her immediately.
Phil's wealth meant nothing to her.
If she had grown up with Phil and only later discovered he had another illegitimate daughter, then she probably would have fought for everything. She wouldn't have accepted it easily, and that other daughter wouldn't have had an easy life either.
In the end, different lives led people to make different choices.

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
