Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1645

Tiana made a sound of agreement, a flush rising to her face as she seemed to hesitate about saying something.

Andrew raised his hand to stop her. "Mrs. Rhodes, you're now a married woman with a pair of lovely daughters. You'd better stop thinking about my father!"

Embarrassed, Tiana replied, "Who said I was thinking about Reginald? I was just… wondering how he's been doing after all these years!"

Andrew said expressionlessly, "I don't know how he's doing, but I can guarantee he's living more freely than anyone else. The last time I broke out of Chetvine, he video-called me from a luxury yacht hotel in Drubae, throwing a no-clothes party with some princess from Middle Veruin."

Tiana snorted. "Typical. Some things never change. Even in exile, he still can't quit that disgusting habit."

Andrew rolled his eyes. "Honestly? I've seen it so many times it barely fazes me. Last I heard, he's even trying to marry into Vestra's richest family. They offered him a huge sum… basically trying to buy his DNA."

Tiana looked ready to explode. "I hope his junk rots off!"

Andrew thought, 'Nope. I'm not getting involved in this!'

Then, he made a quick exit. The emotional mess between Tiana and Reginald was none of his business, and he had zero interest in getting caught in their drama.

However, the moment he stepped out of the Rhodes residence, Andrew felt something strange. It was not obvious and indescribable, but his instincts were screaming that he was being followed.

And not by someone friendly.

Rounding the street corner, Andrew's figure instantly disappeared into the turn. Behind him, a hurried figure followed closely.

The second they turned the corner, Andrew lunged, one hand already snapping toward the person's throat. His eyes were cold and deadly, and if this were a threat, he would snap their neck in an instant.

"Stop! It's me!"

The high-pitched shriek caught him off guard. He pulled back his hand just in time, staring in surprise. "Ms. Freya? What the hell are you doing?"

The "stalker" was none other than Freya, Logan's younger sister and the second of the Keller family beauties.
