Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82

Any man would relish being seduced in this manner by a woman like Natalie. Since Ashton had already filed the divorce paperwork, he didn’t feel any qualms about it either.

“The parasitic poison torments me, keeping me up at night Mr. Gray. Would you be so kind as to treat me?” Natalie asked in a bewitching voice while draping her hands over his shoulders.

“Sure.”

Just as soon as Natalie started to smile, she heard Ashton continue, “As long as you show me how sincere you are about offering a trade for your life, Ms. York.”

Natalie’s face twitched. He hadn’t fallen for her charms at all. He was just taking advantage of her!

“Hmph!” She released him and resumed her earlier cold, unapproachable demeanor. After taking a seat opposite him, she said coolly, “Go ahead and tell me what you want.

As she said that, she knew she was already at a disadvantage in this negotiation. Ashton had her right where he wanted her.

Natalie couldn’t help but wonder what she would do if Ashton asked to sleep with her. Should she agree to his request?

Thinking about that, she studied him carefully before mumbling to herself, “Well, he’s not ugly… He’s got a manly sort of appeal to him.”

Naturally, Ashton wasn’t aware of what Natalie was thinking. Now that the timing was right, he got straight to the point. “Ms. York, the parasitic poison has already penetrated deep into your body, including your bloodstream.

“It’ll take nine treatments for you to recover fully. Once all nine have been completed, however, you’ll not only be free of the poison, but your body constitution will improve as well. You’ll live a long, healthy life free of diseases. “Since there will be nine treatments, what I want in exchange is for you to obey my command without question nine times. What do you say?”

Natalie narrowed her eyes. She’d expected Ashton to make an outrageous demand, but this had far exceeded her expectations.

“Are you genuinely asking me to obey your commands, Mr. Gray? And I would have to do it without question?” Natalie asked coldly.

“That’s right.”

“Doesn’t that mean I’d have to jump off a building if you tell me?”

“Technically yes, but I wouldn’t give such a meaningless command,” Ashton replied.

“What if you ask me to sleep with you, then? Am I supposed to agree to it?”

“Yes.”

Slamming her hand against the table, Natalie fumed, “Do you think I’m an easy target? I now know I’m suffering from a parasitic poison. Well, given my network and connections, do you think I can’t find someone else to treat me?

“Besides, since I know you can treat me, doesn’t that meant can get someone to capture you and force you to treat me? Don’t cross the line, Ashton! Neither one of us benefits if we can’t come to an agreement!”

Ashton seemed entertained as he observed the furious Natalie. “I already said there’s a price for everything, Ms.

York. This is your crisis, and for the moment, I’m the only one in Javonbury who can save you. It’s up to you whether or not you can accept my terms. They won’t be changing.”

Natalie was so angry that her chest started heaving. She didn’t think Ashton would remain this calm and collected, no matter what she did!

“Rest assured, Ms. York. I won’t be making any outrageous demands of you. I have my principles, too. Plus, before the nine treatments are done, if you find some other way to rid yourself of the poison, you’re free to terminate our agreement,” Ashton said.

“Plus, on account of you being such a captivating woman, I shall give you a bonus. I’ll help you deal with Hank, identify the real mastermind behind him, and get rid of them!”

There was a murderous edge to Ashton’s voice. His mentor had once said that those who practiced the parasitic arts were wicked and depraved. They had to be killed on sight.

“Give me your answer, Ms. York,” Ashton said. “Are you agreeing to my terms or not?”
