When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“I’m not asking you to wait!” I cried out, tears welling up in my eyes. “I’ve told you before that I don’t need you to wait for me. So what if I’m not happy about this arrangement? Time is the best medicine, isn’t it? I pushed you to Rachel because I don’t want you pestering and upsetting me when I’m with someone else in the future. Is that so wrong?”

I paused to wipe my tears away as Ashton remained silent. “Once we each have found a better partner for ourselves, it’d be best to stay out of each other’s lives. You know it wasn’t me who made the call, and I never wanted you there either. I’m willing to compensate for having puked on you, but do you have to slap me with a whopping two hundred thousand fee? You said I’d get half of your assets if we got a divorce. I’m letting you know now that I want nothing from the Fullers. I’ve also gotten my lawyer to transfer HiTech’s ownership to you. From here on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other. I’ll pay for your suit, but not for the emotional damages you claim to have.”

With that said, I angrily pushed Ashton away. I wrapped myself with the towel he had tossed aside and made a beeline for the door. I don’t care if anyone sees me like this. The body is just a shell. To hell with anyone who dares criticize me.

I had only taken a few steps toward the door when Ashton grabbed me and pushed me onto the bed. I could see the fury in his eyes as his pent-up anger and frustration burst forth.

The more I struggled, the more Ashton held me down. “You’re wrong if you think I’m someone who will come and go as you wish. Stop messing around and tell me exactly what you want me to do. Or do you think you’re the only one for me?”

I bit my lips in fear, cold beads of sweat rolling down my face. “Ashton, you b*stard!”
