"That fucking bitch!" Asher roared, hurling his phone against the wall with such force that it shattered on impact.
As if that wasn't enough, he kicked the couch, but it didn't give him the satisfaction he was craving. So he slammed his fist into the wall instead.
"Asher!" Violet shouted, horrified.
She rushed over, grabbing his arm. "Stop it, Asher!" she yelled, pulling his hand away from the cracked plaster and turning him to face her. "Stop it right now!"
"Calm down, dude!" Roman added, equally stunned by the sudden outburst.
Although Asher stopped lashing out, the fury still burned in his voice. "She fucking betrayed me! The fifth house was supposed to be yours!"
"I know," Violet said gently. "But that's not a reason to hurt yourself."
Her eyes welled with tears as she gently took his bruised hand in hers. "It's not worth it."
