Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Ashton let out a harsh , dismissive laugh . " You don't have the final say in this matter ! I'll soon be taking Celia from the Sloan family , as per our agreement ! The real danger is keeping Celia with a foolish , empty - headed mother like you ! " " P - Please stop arguing ! " Renee pleaded , never realizing that today's event would actually cement their separation . She couldn't help but wonder if reconciliation was truly hopeless at this point and how two people who had loved each other so deeply could reach such a bitter end .

Roxy's eyes were bloodshot , fueled by the memory of Ashton's cruel nature . She declared solemnly , " I'll become stronger and expand Summit Group's might through any means available ! I'll become superior to you in every way , thereby eliminating any thought of contesting Celia's custody ! " " Is that all you have to say ? " Ashton asked contemptuously . " I despise you , Ashton ! " Roxy declared once more , her eyes turning bloodshot in rage . " I don't care , " Ashton said indifferently before walking away with Kayla . Eunice supported the unsteady Roxy once Ashton and Kayla had left .

She then asked worriedly , " Are you alright , Roxy ? " " I'm fine , " Roxy replied , shaking her head slightly . She suddenly came up with an idea and asked , " Do you think I have the aptitude to train in martial arts , Eunice ? " Eunice was stunned . " D - Do you wish to take up martial arts , Roxy ? That is an extremely demanding path . " " It was just a thought , " Roxy replied . She finally understood the significance of martial prowess after all that had occurred today . She mused that Ashton's arrogance stemmed solely from his fighting prowess .

Eunice said with a smile , " I happen to possess a few cultivation techniques , and if you are genuinely keen , I will share them with you . It is possible that you were born with an innate talent for martial arts , Roxy ! " Roxy said gratefully , " I'm truly indebted to you for rushing over here , Eunice . I would have been utterly helpless if not for your intervention . " Renee voiced her displeasure , saying , " Ashton was the one who saved us . You should be thanking him instead ... " Roxy's expression immediately hardened .

" You're not allowed to mention Ashton's name in my presence again !" Renee sighed softly before a shocking thought took hold . She thought that since Ashton and Roxy were irrevocably estranged , maybe she could pursue Ashton instead . She immediately lowered her head at that thought and blushed deeply , her pulse quickening as if her secret desire had been caught . It was a bewitching night , with the moonlight casting a gentle glow around the surroundings . Kayla regarded Ashton with renewed curiosity , finding him increasingly enigmatic .

" Where did you pick up martial arts and medical knowledge ? How come your ex - wife didn't know about any of this ? " " Roxy chose ignorance . I never deliberately concealed my life from her , but the point is moot now , " Ashton 1/2 * 25 Borus replied with a smile . He had moved on entirely from Roxy , for his life was now characterized by boundless opportunity and beauty . He noticed that when he was with Kayla , his Drakell technique triggered automatically . He had just gone on a killing spree earlier , so his murderous intent and his sexual appetite had risen sharply .

He suddenly came to a halt . " What's the matter ? " Kayla asked , turning to Ashton . Ashton suddenly reached out and tilted Kayla's chin upward , studying her immaculate , finely sculpted features with appreciation . " What exactly are you doing ? " Kayla exclaimed , her face flushing with a mix of shame and rage . Ashton held her chin fast as she attempted to look away , tilting it up . " You seem to have forgotten our agreement , Ms. Clarkson . You vowed to spend the night with me if I saved your grandfather . You should honor your word tonight !
