Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Liliana panicked, her voice sharp and frantic. "Somebody! Somebody get in here! Kick these bastards out right now!"

This was the Peck family's turf, and Caroline was known for housing some seriously ruthless muscle.

Yet, despite all her screaming, no one showed up.

Andrew's eyes glinted with icy contempt as he stared her down. "Stop yelling. Every one of your precious Peck family guards is either dead or knocked out."

Liliana's face drained of color. "No... That's impossible. There's no way you could've gotten in here!"

Aspen and Francesca, burning with fury, stormed forward and started beating her without hesitation. Seeing their best friend lying bloodied and broken on the ground, the two women lost all sense of restraint.

Andrew, barely holding back the urge to slaughter the entire Peck household, ran over and scooped Lauren into his arms. He checked her injuries and quickly slipped a healing capsule between her lips.

Sure, Andrew could heal her completely, but the sheer pain she had endured had already ignited a wildfire in his chest.

"Honey... you came," Lauren whispered through shallow breaths. "I knew you'd come for me. That's why I wasn't afraid."

She smiled faintly, her whole body finally relaxing as she rested in his arms.

"Yes, I'm here. Lauren, just sleep for now."
