Divorce me I'm done serving you (Ayla) novel Chapter 90

The red light turned green, finally giving her a chance to change the subject. Ayla said quietly, "Mr. Storm ... the light's green."

"Rip—"

Draven suddenly tore off her bandage.

Ayla didn't even have time to react. Her hand flew up to her neck, eyes wide in shock.

A heartbeat later, he forcefully pulled her hand away. And he saw it—that unmistakable red mark.

A kiss mark.

Draven's gaze dropped, instantly darkening—black, heavy, bottomless. Before he even registered the impulse, his thumb was already pressing against the bright red mark.

Not gently. Hard. Grinding down like he was crushing a tiny bug beneath his fingertip.

The pad of his thumb was rough, calloused.

The pressure against her skin stung—sharp, itchy, electric.

The gesture was, ironically, incredibly intimate.

But Draven's brows were drawn together, his face cut sharp as a blade, and the cold in his eyes was frightening—an oppressive, suffocating weight that filled the entire car.

All she felt was fear.

For a split second, she genuinely thought that if he wanted to, he could snap her neck with one hand.

Cars behind them kept honking, impatient drivers yelling out their windows. But Draven's car was a luxury model—nobody dared come up and bang on his window.

Outside, noisy chaos.

Inside, crushing silence.

Ayla's mind went completely blank before her rationality came back.

She looked at the man inches from her face—finally realizing something was wrong.

What the hell was he doing?

"Mr. Storm?"

Ayla reminded him, "I'm not feeling well."

Draven lifted his eyes. Their gazes met—his coldness receded instantly.

He drew his hand back and placed it on the steering wheel.

Foot on the gas, he drove forward.

Ayla frowned at his profile.

His mouth was a hard, thin line, the corners pulled down, his expression unreadable.

He was angry?

She was about to ask, but Draven spoke first. "Ugly. Put the bandage back."

Even if he hadn't said it, she would have covered it again.

Once the bandage was back on, her mind finally steadied.

Bria throwing red wine on her—Draven stepping in—Ayla understood now. Yes, partly because she worked under him. But also because Bria was his half sister.

He couldn't stand her behavior, so he interfered.

As her "brother," he had the standing to.

He tore off the bandage earlier because he wanted to see whether Troy really laid a hand on her.

If Troy committed domestic violence, Draven would absolutely get involved.

But finding out it was a kiss mark? Awkward.
