Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 854

Christina kept telling herself to stay calm–she had to stay calm. If she panicked, these Hidden Dragons thugs could easily overpower her without breaking a sweat.

However, Irene was too furious to think straight. She yanked out her phone and snapped, “Finley, you bastard– are you leaving or not? If you don’t get out right now, I’m calling the cops! Let’s see how you like spending the night in jail!”

Finley let out a mocking laugh. “Call the cops?”

Irene clenched her teeth and said coldly, “Damn right, I am. You animals think you can do whatever you want? You’re in my house, trying to force yourselves on my daughter–do you have a death wish?”

Finley’s gaze turned ice–cold. Without warning, he swung his hand across her face.

The slap was so brutal that Irene went flying, her phone slipping from her grip and crashing onto the floor, shattering on impact. She did not even have time to cry out her body hit the ground with a thud, and she passed out instantly.

“Mom!” Christina’s breath hitched as sheer terror took over. She never expected Finley to actually hit someone.

The Stevens family had no one who could fight back against these brutes—if they tried, they would be crushed in an instant.

Finley took a step forward, his arm reaching out to grab her by the waist. With a vile grin, he sneered, “Christina, I never got the chance before, but tonight… oh, tonight, I’m finally going to enjoy you to my heart’s content. Right here in your own mansion, I’ll make sure you remember this night for the rest of your life.”

Christina stumbled back, pressing her arms over her chest as her heart pounded in panic. “Finley, don’t do this! I’m warning you- the Stevens family in Bridgefields won’t let you get away with this!”

Finley froze for a second before bursting into laughter. “Christina, quit trying to scare me. The Stevens family marched into Jayrodale, acting all high and mighty, thinking they could take down Andrew. And what happened?

“They got their asses handed to them. Aspen is probably lying on her back for Andrew right now, legs spread while he pounds her into the mattress. So don’t waste your breath. The Stevens family here in Jayrodale is nothing but a bunch of weaklings. I can do whatever I want with you, and no one can stop me.”

Christina’s face turned deathly pale as her nails dug into her palms. “Finley, don’t forget–you promised Aspen that the Stevens family was your ally. We’re supposed to fight the Wellers, Rhodes, and Andrew–not each other!”
