Renee nodded, feeling a gentle warmth spread in her chest
After that, Ashton walked out without sparing Roxy or the rest of the Sloans a glance.

Tanya struggled to her feet as she watched him leave. “One day, I’m going to destroy that good–for–nothing! I’ll make sure he never struts around so cockily again! Roxy, you have to find the toughest man out there and get even for me!”
“Mom, you should get some rest. I’ll figure out a way to treat your stomach condition as soon as possible,” Roxy said, feeling drained.
Once Tanya went back to her room, Roxy turned to Renee and gently brushed the clear handprint on her face, her heart aching. “Renee, don’t be mad at Mom…”
Renee mumbled, “I just don’t get it. Ashton is a great guy, so why-”
“Renee! Things are what they are. Picking apart the reasons doesn’t mean anything anymore.” Roxy sighed. “I won’t stop you from staying in touch with Ashton, but make sure you don’t do it so blatantly when the family is around. And also…”
She hesitated, then warned, “If Ashton ever hints at anything with you, you have to shut it down. Don’t let his sweet talk fool you. Got it?”
“Huh? What are you even talking about?” Renee flushed. She lowered her head, too embarrassed to meet Roxy’s
eyes.
A ripple of unease rose in Roxy’s heart when she saw her so flustered. She hardened her tone. “Ashton isn’t someone worthy of spending your life with, Renee. He already has too many women around him. Do not think of him in that way!”
“I don’t–I mean, how could I…”
“Enough. I’ve said what needs to be said. Get some rest. I’ll find a way to cure Mom’s stomach. And don’t go begging Ashton anymore! We’re done with him now,” Roxy said firmly.
After everything that happened that night, her last, fragile hopes were shattered by harsh reality. She and Ashton were like two lines that crossed once. After the intersection, they would only drift further and further apart, never to meet again.
After leaving the Sloan residence and stepping into the darkness of the night, Ashton tossed out all other thoughts and headed back to the Langley residence. There was a wildcat waiting for him at home.
Even if the awakened bloodline in Roxy could send his Drakell technique into overdrive, making her his so–called chosen maiden, he wasn’t interested in taking another look!
He eased the door open. A soft, feminine scent drifted over him. Before the door even closed, Sylvia, dressed to kill and impossible to resist, leapt into his arms.
She pressed her lips to his in a searing kiss, and two hours soon passed as they did things better left to the imagination.
“Babe…” Sylvia lay draped across Ashton’s chest, basking in the bliss of the moment. Her eyes were saucy, and her voice was teasing. She wished her stamina were higher.
“Haven’t had enough?” Ashton chuckled.

“Huh? I wouldn’t dare…” Seeing the wildfire rekindle in his eyes, she curled into his arms, not daring to provoke him further. When he got going, he was way beyond what she could handle.
“What’s our next move? Are we still going to take down Summit Group?” she asked.
Ashton smiled, “Of course. As I said, I’m taking back everything I gave Roxy. I want her to regret the things she’s done for the rest of her life. Only then will this failed marriage truly come to an end, and only then will my mind be clear enough for me to enhance my power.”
The mistaken, broken marriage had become his inner demon. If he didn’t tear down everything Roxy had, that demon would never stop plaguing him.
“I’ll stay by your side forever,” Sylvia murmured tenderly.
Ashton laughed. “Once Evermore Media signs Samantha, Summit Media will collapse. Without Summit Beauty and Summit Media, Summit Group would have lost both arms. It’ll be unstable, teetering, and on the brink. And then, I’ll deliver the killing blow.”
“I can’t wait to see Roxy realize what a terrible mistake she made!” Sylvia chirped.
“It won’t be long.”
