Ashes Under The Moon Chapter 9 A Mother's Final Gift
Dakota kept hounding me, her voice ringing in my ears. My nerves were so taut they began to twitch."Dakota, you've got some nerve. Bring Walter out here!"The door of the black SUV behind me opened, and a man with his hands and feet bound was thrown out.Walter's mouth was taped shut. The moment he saw Dakota, he let out a shrill, muffled wail. "Help… Mmph! Help me!"Dakota's fingers twitched, and she instinctively took a step forward. "Walter!"She turned on me, barely suppressing her anger. "Let Walter go! Don't forget, I still have your mother's ashes!"She raised the urn again to threaten me, but she'd forgotten that we both had leverage over each other now.I walked over, grabbed Walter by the hair, and pulled his face into view.The sound of a slap rang out. Walter glared at me with bitter hatred as I turned to Dakota. "Give me back the ashes, or I'll have him raped in front of everyone here!"Walter's voice grew frantic. Overcome with panic, he broke down crying. "No…
Ashes Under The Moon Chapter 8 The Breaking Point
I was young back then. Holding my mother's trembling hand, I didn't understand what she was trying to tell me.I'd never met Dakota, but I didn't want my mother to take risks for my sake. She was already looked down on by the family. If my situation made things even harder for her, wouldn't that make me a terrible son?So I agreed to the arranged marriage. My mother's eyes were red-rimmed, but all she could do was remind me again and again, "If things don't work out, you have to come back and tell me."I never imagined that my marriage to Dakota would sour in just three years.As my mother lay dying in her hospital bed, she wept, her voice trembling."Asher, it's all my fault. I was too weak. If only I'd fought harder to stop you from marrying the Lennox family's daughter, maybe you wouldn't be in this situation now. I've failed you."At the time, my body was covered in needle marks from all the blood they'd taken from me.Until the very moment she closed her eyes, my mother was

Walter was huddled in a corner in his thin pajamas, clutching the bag frantically."Asher! How dare you? If Dakota finds out, she'll never let you get away with this!"I stiffened, blood rushing to my head. When I spoke, my voice was utterly cold."Is that so? She can barely protect herself right now. You don't even know her company has been shut down by the authorities, do you? She might not even escape prison time as its legal representative! Walter, hand it over. Don't make me take it from you."Walter's eyes widened in disbelief. He shook his head. "How is that possible? You're lying! How could anything happen to Dakota?"His fingertips dug into his flesh, and his lips quivered as he struggled to form the words.Suddenly, he raised the bag high outside the window and threatened me with it, as if nothing could stop him."Asher! Lennox Group is a huge corporation. You think reporting it is enough to make it go bankrupt? You're not fooling me! Just wait until Dakota gets here.

I curled my lip and spread my hands. "I'm not. I reserved that spot for your great-uncle. Shame he isn't dead yet."Dakota's expression darkened with the ominous stillness before a storm. She gritted her teeth and spoke one word at a time."Asher, don't forget that I still have your mother's ashes! Do you think you can get away with this? I'll dump every last bit of your mother's ashes into a dog bowl and feed them to the dogs!"My breath caught, and my heart seemed to stop.I stared at the woman I knew so well, yet in that moment, she felt like a complete stranger.Over the past three years, we might not have been madly in love, but we'd always treated each other with respect.The Blake family was on the decline, and I'd become the Lennox family's live-in son-in-law.I took care of her entire family and handled all the day-to-day affairs of the sprawling Lennox Estate. Dakota, meanwhile, was gentle and considerate toward me, the very picture of a good wife.We didn't have chil

I spoke slowly and clearly into the microphone. "You unworthy descendant, come to pay your respects to the Lennox ancestors!"Hundreds of thousands of viewers flooded into the livestream, sending it straight to the top of the hourly trending list.The comments flooded the screen."Damn, that's savage. If someone takes a dump here, does that make it a golden turd?""Save me one! I've never taken a dump on the heads of the big shots before!""This is too good to miss. I'm heading over to see it for myself!"I aimed my camera at the stinking restroom and started announcing my prices."Folks from near and far, don't miss out! Get your limited-time coupon to use the Lennox family graves as a toilet. Just five bucks. You won't regret it!""Get the chance to take a dump right on the Lennox ancestors' heads. A deal like this won't last, so it's first come, first served!""Prices vary by stall. Old Mr. Lennox was a big name in Kingswell back in his day! He's not one of the cheap ones.
Ashes Under The Moon Chapter 4 A Grand Gift for the Lennox Family
The machinery roared, and within seconds, a huge hole had been carved into the grave.Half an hour later, I held Dakota's grandfather's urn, grinning maliciously.Meanwhile, Walter was still gloating over his victory that morning, messaging me on WhatsApp to rub it in."Asher, I suggest you stop fighting it and just divorce Dakota. She doesn't love you anymore, and no amount of scheming on your part will change that.""Why else do you think she hasn't had a child with you in three years? She told me herself. Only my child can be the legitimate heir to the Lennox family!"Reading his messages, I found the whole thing ridiculous. From now on, the Lennox family could keep its bloodline thriving in a cesspool.Grayson pulled one last straggler out from behind a wall.I recognized him immediately as one of Dakota's men, grabbed my stun gun, and shocked him in the chest.As the man convulsed and curled up, I kicked him over and said coldly, "Go back and tell Dakota I got Walter's gif
