Divorced and Dominant: Now You Cry? Novel

Ashton's voice was both mocking and contemptuous . Anyone listening could tell that he was humiliating Flint and hitting where it hurt the most . In an instant , a murderous pressure filled the air , weighing down on Ashton like a boulder on his shoulders and trying to force him to his knees . His eyes lit up at once . He'd been curious to find out the full extent of Flint's power . Blood surged through Ashton's veins as he stood firm , enduring the oppressive weight . The pressure continued to intensify .

When Ashton felt a stinging pain shoot through his body , he finally felt a sense of danger . A thirst for battle colored his eyes , dark flames flickering deep within them . " Mr. Vance , are you worried that I won't take good care of Hazel and Rhonda ? Don't worry . I'll make sure they're satisfied in every way . I'll be sure to let them experience the joys of being a woman , " Ashton arrogantly declared . He wanted to force Flint to make a move so he could gauge his strength . But soon , the murderous air dissipated .

Shoulders relaxing , Ashton looked at Flint with a hint of mockery in his smile . " Thank you for giving me Hazel and Rhonda to be my servants . They're very grateful to you as well . They said it's because they're finally free of you and can live happily ever after with me . " Alas , no matter what Ashton said , he could not provoke Flint any further . Flint's expression was frosty as he eyed Ashton . " Are you done ? If you're done , it's time for you to leave . " " You sure are a tolerant man , Mr. Vance . Why , you're basically as gentle as a lamb ! " Ashton mocked .

Even Irina stiffened at that . Was Ashton hellbent on duking it out with Flint ? Was he that eager to die ? Scoffing , Flint turned to leave . " Mr. Vance ! " Ashton called out . " You should step down from your position as the ruler of Javonbury's underworld . " What was that ? " Flint whipped back around and stared right into Ashton's eyes . At last , he figured out Ashton's real motive behind everything he'd done so far - Ashton wanted to take his place ! Countless ambitious men had tried to do so over the last few decades , but they all ended up in the ground . " You're old now .

If you want to live a few more years , you should retire to a quiet place somewhere . But before you go , give a clear account of everything you've done and hand over all your wealth and power . That's the only way for you to walk away with your life , " Ashton said bluntly . Flint snorted . " Do you really think that just because you have some skill and the Legion backing you up , you can challenge me ? " Ashton replied , " When it's time for you to step aside , Mr. Vance , nothing you do can change that . Otherwise , I fear things won't end well for you . " " What nerve you have !

" Flint snarled , his eyes blazing with hostility . " I will not give up my position as the ruler 1/2 of Javonbury's underworld ! If you truly have what it takes , come and challenge me for it yourself , but be prepared to die a horrible death ! " Ashton met Flint's gaze , a confident smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth . He looked exper for a fight I'm already here , aren't I ? I suggest you prepare yourself for a horrible death as well , Mr. Vance " " We'll see about that ! " Flint scoffed before marching off . By now , the mask of civility had been completely torn off .

A genuine battle was about to ensue . " By the way , Mr. Vance , both your daughter and your lover have such excellent figures , " Ashton called out nonchalantly . Flint froze mid - step , his expression becoming even fouler than usual . But he only stopped for a moment before heading into the estate without responding . Irina cast a glance at Ashton and let out a soft chuckle . " You're a bold man , though I wonder if you truly have the ability to take Flint's place .
