**Heartbreak and Confrontation**
Five years had passed, and the Butler family had continued to grow and thrive. Benny was now a teenager, deeply immersed in his studies of veterinary science, while Lori-Anne was balancing her acting career with high school. Life on the farm was busy but fulfilling, with each family member pursuing their passions.
One evening, as the sun began to set over the Montana mountains, Ashley arrived at the farm, tears streaming down her face. Austin, who had been working in the barn, immediately noticed his sister’s distress and rushed to her side.
“Ashley, what’s wrong?” Austin asked, concern etched across his face.
Ashley struggled to speak through her sobs. “It’s Michael. He…he cheated on me with a girl he met on a boy’s trip. I found out through some mutual friends. I confronted him, and he didn’t even deny it.”
Anger surged through Austin as he pulled his sister into a comforting embrace. “I’m so sorry, Ashley. I can’t believe he would do something like this. You don’t deserve this at all.”
Ashley clung to her brother, finding solace in his strength. “What am I going to do, Austin? I can’t stay with him after this.”
Austin’s protective instincts kicked in. “You don’t have to, Ashley. We’ll get through this together. First, I’m going to have a word with Michael.”
"The Confrontation"
Determined to confront Michael, Austin drove to his house, his mind racing with thoughts of betrayal and anger. When he arrived, he found Michael in the driveway, seemingly oblivious to the storm that was about to hit.
“Austin, what are you doing here?” Michael asked, his voice tinged with nervousness.
Austin didn’t waste any time. “How could you do this to Ashley? She trusted you, and you betrayed her. What kind of man cheats on his wife with someone he met on a boy’s trip?”
Michael’s face hardened. “It’s none of your business, Austin. This is between me and Ashley.”
Austin’s fists clenched. “It became my business the moment you hurt my sister. You’ve destroyed your family for a fling. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror?”
The tension between them escalated, and before long, harsh words turned into a physical altercation. Austin, fueled by his protective instincts, and Michael, defensive and cornered, exchanged blows until neighbors intervened, pulling them apart.
Breathing heavily, Austin glared at Michael. “Stay away from Ashley and Robert. You’re not welcome in their lives anymore.”
