The shock wore off, replaced by a surge of pure, unadulterated hatred. Leonard lowered his own window, his eyes locked on Joshua.
"How are you driving Aurora's car?" he ground out.
"She lent it to me, of course," Joshua said with an easy smile. "You don't think I could have just taken it without her permission, do you?"
Leonard's teeth clenched so hard his jaw ached. "Why would she lend you Dawnlight?"
Joshua pretended to consider the question. "I hear Ms. Williams has a taste for power. Perhaps she lent it to me because she realized I could defeat you, Mr. Lerman?"
Leonard's hand balled into a fist. Aurora had never even let *him* borrow Dawnlight. And now she had handed it over to the man who had nearly killed him, who had cost him an arm and an ear. A bitter, venomous feeling of betrayal coiled in his gut.
He knew Aurora didn't love him. He had never been angry about that. He had always believed that a woman as exceptional as her was entitled to have high standards. He understood her ambition; in fact, he admired her strength and ruthlessness, qualities that mirrored his own. He was willing to be her stepping stone, to let her climb on his back to reach greater heights.
But he was not willing to let her use him to elevate his mortal enemy.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance
The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
Please move on from Stella's troubles, we need more exiting news. Like Joshua discovering that Stella is the one he has been looking for,the owner of the earring....
