Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609

Chapter 609 No , I cant hold it anymore .

Francesca , youre mine , and mine alone … With a guttural roar , like a wild beast , Simon lunged forward .

Francesca silently screamed in her mind , No ! Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably .

At that moment , she recalled the time when she was still afflicted with her condition , a state that had made her incapable of intimacy .

Back then , she had been grateful when Andrew had cured her , giving her the chance to experience love and the hope of family life .

But at that moment , she regretted it .

If this was how it would all end , Francesca wished she had remained the way she was untouched, and unable to be violated .

Suddenly , the solid wooden wall of the grand hall exploded into splinters .

Andrew stepped through the debris , lowering his leg , his face dark and menacing .

Stripping down naked in broad daylight and drugging your junior ? Simon , are you performing some avant garde performance art here ? Andrew sneered as he moved to block Francesca , staring at Simon with a cold and emotionless gaze .

Francesca , Dr.

Aicker dont worry , Im here ! Francescas junior burst into the hall , tears streaming down his face as he rushed to help Cedric .

Simons expression turned livid , his face twisting in anger as he pointed at Andrew .

Andrew , Im warning you- dont stick your nose where it doesnt belong ! he snarled .

If you dare ruin this for me today , I swear Ill kill you ! Andrew smirked dismissively , not even sparing Simon a glance .

He crouched down and gently covered Francescas exposed body with his jacket .

Andrew , forget about me … Save my … grandfather , Francesca murmured weakly , her voice trembling with relief before she passed out , a faint smile of gratitude gracing her lips .

Andrews gaze darkened as he observed her flushed face and overheated body .

Her legs were pressed tightly together , her condition worsening by the second.

The effects of the Enthralling Essence were evident its potency far exceeded that of common aphrodisiacs or the likes of Euphoria Essence .

Once consumed , the drug would only dissipate through physical intimacy .

Without release , the accumulating energy would wreak havoc on the body , potentially leading to severe internal damage or even death .

Simon blinked in confusion Andrew had vanished from sight .

Before Simon could react , a searing pain erupted in his back .

Andrews kick had landed squarely , sending Simon hurtling across the room to crash into the wall with a loud thud .

How … How can you be this strong? Simon stammered as he staggered to his feet , his face pale with disbelief .

I may not be at the grandmaster level , but Ive trained in dark arts ! They grant me unmatched speed and power .

You shouldnt be able to harm me ! Andrew took two firm steps forward , his gaze sharp and unwavering .

Simon let out a desperate roar .

Die !
