Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 796

Bria's mind was a mess. The surge of emotions in her head cooled for a moment, and she couldn't think straight.

Maybe I imagined it. It only lasted a second or two. Right now, Kaleb's gaze toward me is nothing but cold and disgusted, like I'm the most unbearable person in the world.

The brief calm she'd felt vanished just as quickly. She couldn't stand him looking at her like that. She was about to lash out again, but he suddenly covered her mouth.

Bria bit down on his hand immediately.

Hard.

Kaleb didn't even blink. He wrapped an arm around her waist, lifted her, and strode away, only stopping when they reached a quieter garden area of the hospital, where he finally set her down.

Bria had left a row of teeth marks on his hand. It hadn't broken skin, but it definitely hurt.

Kaleb lowered his head, his brows shadowing his eyes. His long lashes hid most of his expression as his voice dropped low. "So all this time, you were forcing yourself to be around me?”

Bria said, "Yeah. When you hate someone, are you supposed to act thrilled about it?”

No, that wasn't how it had been at all. It started as a desire to conquer, following her plan step by step. Then she slowly noticed his strengths, and somewhere along the way, she'd started to feel something. After that, every time she saw him, she felt a quiet anticipation. Being around him was when she felt the best.

But she couldn't say any of that out loud.

Kaleb let out a self-mocking laugh. "Guess I should feel honored that you went this far just to mess with me.”

Bria's eyes widened at his sarcasm. "Isn't that something to be honored by? You should be kneeling and thanking me!”

Kaleb clenched his jaw. "If I disgust you that much, then stay away from me from now on. Got it?”

Panic flickered through Bria for a split second. She glared at him. "So pushing me away makes it easier for you to chase some sweet little girl?”

Kaleb paused, then snapped, "You're unbelievable.”

It was because he cared that much that he'd taken it so seriously.

Kaleb hadn't even realized when he'd started falling for her. It had just happened, quietly, without him noticing.

There wasn't a clear reason for it. Even now, he couldn't explain why.

Like earlier that afternoon at the office, when he noticed the dark circles under her eyes and instinctively felt worried.

But he'd forced all of that down.

Bria had been playing with him, humiliating him. He couldn't accept that he'd fallen for someone like that.

Hearing her lay everything out just now, Kaleb hadn't expected her to go that far. To endure that level of disgust just to deceive him, even kissing him in public at a bar.

To go that far, to fake everything so thoroughly, it was almost impressive. He couldn't help but wonder if she even had a heart.
