" " Nat , I'm going to get someone to end his life right here , right now ! Anyone who tries to stop me will be my enemy . I'm going to see to it that Evermore Club goes bankrupt today ! " Hank howled . His face was all twisted in anger .

He'd just been slapped in public , which was a humiliation of the highest order . He was determined to get even with Ashton and salvage his dignity ! " Shut up! " Natalie abruptly snapped at Hank . Thinking he'd misheard her , he growled , " What did you say , Nat ? Ashton just hit me ! Why are you still wasting your breath with him ? Let's just break one of his arms first I want to hear him scream like a baby crying for its mother ! " " I told you to shut up ! Let me finish my conversation with Ashton ! " Natalie snarled as she shot Hank an icy glare .
