Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1919

Logan clenched his fists and said with conviction, "I knew it. Andrew would never let Dad down. Our family owes him more than we can ever repay."

Freya bit her lip, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. She suddenly remembered the time she offered herself to Andrew as a thank-you, back when she begged him for help. The memories of every little moment since she met him rushed through her mind, flooding her thoughts.

She lowered her head and murmured so softly it was barely audible, "Maybe… being his woman wouldn't be so bad. At least, he's someone I can feel safe with. Someone I could actually rely on. But how do I get him to like me? The more I think about it, the more it seems like the only way to really connect… is by sleeping with him…"

Among the Keller sisters, Andrew could have chosen any of them. But now, it was clear that Emily and Hannah did not catch his eye at all.

Only Freya still had a decent rapport with him. If she could end up with Andrew, it would be a win for the Keller family. Honestly, it would be a win for her, too. Even if her sisters felt upset, they would not have much to say.

After all, she never fought or schemed for his attention; they had simply failed to seize their own chances. But the more she thought about it, the hotter her face burned.

She thought, 'Andrew has not shown any interest in me whatsoever. Am I seriously fantasizing about being taken by a man who probably doesn't even think of me that way?'

That thought alone made her chest flutter uncontrollably.

…

"Let me introduce the famous disciple of Mr. Jerome Thornton, Mr. Eric Humphrey!"

Inside Serenity Villa, Andrew introduced Eric to everyone. Natasha and Dylan lit up immediately, practically starstruck. After all, Eric's name carried serious weight in martial arts circles.

Not only was his adoptive father the leader of the Southern Martial Union, but Eric himself had long been known as a prodigy. Moreover, his rise had become the stuff of legend.

Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen all watched him curiously before smiling and greeting him.
