Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

The faint scent of Melody’s perfume wafted over to Ashton

Melody felt a little embarrassed on the inside. Her cheeks were flushed red. However, for the sake of exposing Ashton’s true nature as a beastly predator, she continued making her way over to him, all the while batting her eyelashes at him in a seductive manner.

Then, she stumbled and almost fell directly onto him.

Ashton caught her by the shoulders, keeping a careful distance. His eyes remained fixed on her flawless face. Even he couldn’t help but be struck by her youthful beauty.

“Do you feel lonely, Ashton? I’m so lonely… Can you keep me company?” Melody asked boldly.

She didn’t hold back at all. While speaking, she tried to undo his shirt, acting like a woman who was completely overcome with desire.

Frowning, Ashton backed away from her. What the hell was she doing?

“Am I not pretty, Ashton? Don’t you want me?” Melody asked coyly, though she was panicking hard on the inside.

She’d assumed that as long as she threw herself at Ashton, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from wanting to have his way with her. Why was he acting like such a gentleman? Was she so completely unattractive to him?

“I’m going back to my room,” Ashton said.

After taking one last look at Melody’s legs and fair skin, he shook his head. He’d seen right through her scheme almost immediately.

“You’re not allowed to leave!”

When Melody saw the way Ashton completely avoided her, she hastily stuck her arms out to stop him. Gritting her teeth, she made yet another attempt to press herself against him. She even tried to kiss him.

She was going to make a huge sacrifice for Sylvia’s sake!

But before her lips could even get near Ashton, he avoided her altogether.

Melody stumbled to the floor, yelping in pain and exposing herself. Her expression soured at once. It went without saying that she’d failed to seduce him, and she couldn’t figure out just what exactly had gone wrong!

Paying no further attention to Melody, Ashton walked off. He had no interest in playing these silly games with an immature young woman–though he hadn’t realized just how seductive Melody could be once she dressed up a bit.

Furious and mortified over the failure of her plan, Melody shrieked, “You can drop the act, Ashton! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do. You’re just abusing the fact that you saved Sylvia once to leech off her and seize all of her assets!

“I’m warning you! You’ll never succeed, not when I’m around!”

With her hands on her hips, she puffed her chest forward and continued snarling, “If you’re even a man, Ashton, you’d stop freeloading at my house, refusing to leave!

“If you had any real ability, you’d better go out there and make a name for yourself. Otherwise, I’ll always look down on you. I’ll definitely find a way to chase you out of here!”

Since her first plan had failed, she came up with a second one–to goad him into leaving!

“Why does it matter to me whether or not you look down on me?” Ashton coolly replied.

Chapter 67

“That’s enough. Stop arguing. Anyone who comes here today is a guest of mine. Sit down, everyone.”

Trent Kramer, the main star of tonight, was eyeing Melody with a possessive look in his eyes. Smiling, he gestured for Ashton and Melody to take their seats.

Sally scoffed as she cast yet another displeased look at Ashton.

Completely unbothered, Ashton found himself a seat and sa down. Soon, Melody was happily joining in on the fun with Trent, Sally, and the others.

At that point, Trent’s eyes gleamed cunningly. He handed a glass of water to Melody, saying, “You must be thirsty. Have some water, Melody.”

He’d spiked the water with a heavy dose of aphrodisiac!

Trent had one clear motive tonight–to use his birthday party as his chance to get Melody in bed, making her the best birthday gift he could possibly get.

He’d been pursuing her for some time now, but she kept rejecting his advances. However, he’d never failed to get his hands on a woman he wanted before.

As long as the potent dose of aphrodisiac entered her body, it didn’t matter how chaste she was. Eventually, she’d give in to her desires and be completely at his mercy!

Once he’d gotten her in bed, he’d have her right in the palm of his hand.

Trent had made all the arrangements. The only thing he didn’t expect was for Melody to bring Ashton along. Nevertheless, that wasn’t a big deal. No one was going to be able to stop him from taking Melody for himself today.

“Thanks, Trent,” Melody said with a grin.

She accepted the glass of water without even the slightest sense of caution. However, just as she was about to drink the water, Ashton snatched the glass out of her hand.

Eyeing Trent coldly, Ashton threw the water right at Trent’s face.
