Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Chapter 27 Robert struggled back to his feet and got ready to throw another punch . But when he met Ashton's icy gaze , he immediately shuddered in fright and gulped before taking a few steps back . " Ashton's gone insane , Roxy ! He had the gall to hit me ! You've got to stand up for me ! " Robert howled . " I only wanted him to hand over Mom's medication , but he cursed her instead and said she should just die ! He even promised to send a funeral wreath ! How can someone be so vicious ? " As always , whenever something happened , Robert would seek Roxy and ask her to stand up for him .

Once Ashton apologized , he fully intended to pay him back for the humiliation . Meanwhile , after seeing the commotion , Roxy immediately rushed over as well . When she saw the handprint on Robert's face , she glared at Ashton and berated him , " When will you ever stop resorting to violence , Ashton ? Even if Robert did something wrong , he's still my younger brother ! " " That's right . He's your younger brother , so what does it have to do with me ? Am I supposed to coddle him ? " Roxy stiffened as she now remembered that she and Ashton had already filed for divorce .

Under these circumstances , Ashton and Robert were indeed no longer related to each other . " Even so , you shouldn't be hitting someone ! If I called the police , you'd be arrested ! " " Don't even try to scare us , Roxy . You saw what happened . Robert was clearly the one who tried to get physical first . Ashton simply defended himself . If we got the authorities involved , who knows who'd be the one who gets charged instead ? " Sylvia piped up with a smile . She wanted nothing more than for Ashton to get into a complete falling out with the entire Sloan family .

The bigger the conflict between the two , the more unlikely it was for him and Roxy to get back together . She was thrilled to see the Sloans behaving so stupidly . Roxy's expression was cold as ice . Ignoring Sylvia , she said to Ashton , " I never thought you'd turn out like this , Ashton ! Do you know what I regret the most now ? I regret not divorcing you sooner ! " " Roxy , I told you long ago that people aren't always what they seem . Ashton was never a good man . He approached you with ulterior motives right from the very beginning ! And now , he has finally taken his mask off .

" But don't you worry . I'm right here with you . I won't let you get hurt in any way again ! " Calvin confidently declared . " I feel the same way . I regret not divorcing you sooner , " Ashton replied with a sigh . Once , he believed that he and Roxy would remain happily married forever . Now , after looking back , he realized there was no such thing as " forever " . Human nature was unpredictable . Roxy stared right into Ashton's eyes . She no longer saw the love that had once been in them . There was only disdain and indifference . Biting her lip , she put her hand out , her palm open .

" Regardless of everything , Ashton , my mom has always been decent to you . Give me the medication and the prescription . After that , we can go our separate ways in peace . " 1/2 Chapter 27 +25 Bonus " Sorry . I won't be giving you the medication , and I certainly won't be giving you the prescription either . " " How can you be so cruel ? " Roxy questioned , her eyes blazing . " You were never like this before , Ashton ! " " That was then , and this is now . Oh , by the way , you were wrong about something . Your mom has never been decent to me before .

Since she has always turned her nose up at me , she should stick with that attitude and not rely on my medication either . " " Please , Ashton ! Just think of it as me begging you . Give me the medication ! " Roxy's body was taut as she fixed her eyes on Ashton . Whenever they fought in the past , all she had to do was look at him like such , and he could eventually give in to her . She firmly believed that things would be no different this time .
