Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2121

When Andrew returned to Blumedale, it was already night. George had sent word that the Onyx Serpents' crew had been properly arranged, and he could visit them whenever he had time.

Since Rowan already had food and a place to stay, Andrew had no intention of interfering.

Besides, he was exhausted after traveling all day. As soon as he got back to Serenity Villa, he enjoyed a hearty dinner and then collapsed into bed.

Lauren, Francesca, Aspen, and Chantelle had been waiting eagerly for his return. Each of them was dressed to impress, their figures and perfume competing for his attention.

To their surprise, Andrew had no energy left that night.

The four women exchanged looks that were equal parts amused and disappointed.

Francesca rested her chin on her hand and grumbled irritably, "Do you think he has been seeing someone else while he was away?"

Aspen, always the sweetest, quickly defended him. "I don't think so. He loves us the most, and there's no way he would sneak around behind our backs."

Lauren smiled and nodded. "I agree. You all saw how exhausted he was, and he's even injured."

Chantelle pouted, saying, "Let's just let him rest properly tonight. Anyway, we should go to sleep too, and wait until tomorrow when he's recovered… Then, we'll drain him dry."

The other three giggled and chimed in together, "Deal!"

…

Meanwhile, late that night on the northern hills of Blumedale, the Fischer family's estate was still brightly lit. Cars were coming and going as their high-profile guests finally began heading home. The constant stream of visitors at all hours was proof of the family's thriving influence.

In the highest tower, which belonged to the acting family head, Lucian had just finished his training session. His whole body was covered in sweat as he walked barefoot across the floor, preparing to take a shower.

After his shower, he planned to call over a couple of female celebrities to help him relax. The pressure had been mysteriously intense lately.
