They pressed down on my injured left hand and I screamed in pain.
"Ahh!"
Asher finally seemed shaken. He ordered them to let go and scolded them,
"Why were you so rough with her?"
He crouched beside me, gently helping me up. "If you were not so stubborn, you would not have gotten hurt."
Clutching my throbbing hand, I bit through the pain and glared at him. "And whose fault do you think these injuries are?"
He avoided my gaze, frowning. "I told you, if you just apologize, I would not let the online harassment worsen."
I shook off his hand and forced myself to stand. With a bitter smile, I said, "Fine. I will apologize—but only if you sign the divorce papers."
His face froze for a second before he chuckled coldly.
"Lily, do you really think anyone else will give you opportunities to act? Who would cast you as the lead in a major movie without me?"
He thought his usual manipulation would still work, that I’d obediently fall in line like I always did.
"I know you are upset, but I told you I would never hurt you."
But this time, I was done.
