Ashton found that Kayla's cheeks were delicate and soft, offering a wonderfully smooth sensation against the hand.Kayla's breathing grew ragged as she felt the heat radiating from Ashton's hand. She felt as if Ashton was nothing less than a beast on the verge of eruption. "H-Hold it!"She was overwhelmed with panic. She tried to push Ashton away, but he was pressing her firmly against the bed."Why should I stop? You were the one who told me that I'd miss my chance if I didn't act tonight! I'll gladly oblige and honor your deadline, then, since you seemed so eager to offer yourself to me!" Ashton roared as he yielded to his basal instincts, tearing half of Kayla's clothing apart.Kayla yelped in absolute terror, pleading desperately, "I take it back—the promise is still binding, but it doesn't have to happen tonight, so please calm yourself, Ashton!" She was consumed by intense regret. She should never have gambled with such high stakes. She had foolishly believed she could con

Ashton had fully accounted for retaliation from both Emerson Group and the Sage. He, however, was surprised that Calvin's parents were the ones to lead the charge, while the Sage remained conspicuously silent.He knew that he couldn't conceal the killings of Calvin and Edmund—and he hadn't planned to. He considered this the perfect starting point to launch a formal war against the Sage.He resolved that the criminal underworld in Javonbury couldn't remain indefinitely under the control of the Sage. He knew that the Sage had amassed a fortune and undermined civic stability while serving as the ruler of the criminal underworld. He was aware that the Sage was an ingrained menace, entrenched in Javonbury for decades and dwarfing the influence of previous crime lords. He resolved that the Sage was a scourge who demanded eradication.It was also the first significant mission Ashton had to fulfill as the deputy head of the Legion."You can rest assured that those who dare disrespect you

Ashton was clad entirely in black, the wind whipping his dark hair. Sylvia and Natalie, the two striking women, stood nestled close to his flanks, while Cadence, Louie, and the others fell one step behind. They were all surrounded by their most trusted experts, radiating a heavy, threatening presence.There was an overwhelming sense of dread that descended, as violent and unrelenting as a squall.Melody watched Ashton from inside the villa, her heart skipping a beat. She muttered in surprise, "His whole bearing has changed. He is strangely captivating right now."She instantly blushed as she recalled the scene of Ashton treating her roughly that day. She then felt her heartbeat quickening and a bittersweet longing emerging, making her instinctively cross and rub her legs."Is that really Ashton?" Robert asked, staring at Ashton, who now radiated sheer, arrogant dominance. He couldn't reconcile this dominant figure with the meek man he had known in the Sloan family. He thought tha

Ashton and Roxy stared each other down, both gazes sharp and hostile. Her chest was heaving, but she didn't avoid his taunting gaze."Are you trying to posture in front of me?" she questioned.."That's right," Ashton retorted in contempt. "You have less than a year left. Make the most of the time you have left with Celia. Soon, I'll be taking her way. You're not fit to be her mother.""Don't even think about it!" Roxy declared furiously, her chin lifted. "Don't think you have what it takes to challenge me for custody of Celia just because you have a little bit of power now. Do you really think you can lord over everyone? I'll never lose to you!""We'll see about that," Ashton remarked coldly. "Go ahead and live in anxiety and fear all you want. Here's a warning for you. I'll be moving in on Summit Beauty next, and I'm going to dismantle it completely. Are you ready?""Hah! The likes of you?"Roxy didn't back down at all. She took a step closer to Ashton and declared, "All of Summ

The word "bitch" shocked everyone, especially when Ashton was referring to Rhonda, Flint's favorite lover. He was basically insulting Flint as well!Everyone in the living room gasped. They hadn't expected Ashton, who was bold enough to come over alone, to be even more brazen than they'd thought."Who are you calling a bitch!" Rhonda shrieked in fury, her chest heaving even more now as she glared murderously at Ashton.She hated him with every fiber of her being, for Edmund was her only son."Where do you think you are, Ashton? Do you think you have any right to be this arrogant here? Get on your knees and beg my dad for forgiveness now!"Hazel Vance, a spirited young woman with a tall figure, openly rebuked Ashton, her attitude domineering.She was Flint's youngest daughter, and from the moment she laid eyes on Ashton, she felt a deep sense of dislike for him—she hated that proud, unbridled look in his eyes!Hazel wanted nothing more than to make him cower at her feet while she
