Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1889

Andrew would never have expected that after all these years, the only person in Goldridge who cared about his safety would be Rowan. However, the lady standing before him now was completely different from the bratty little girl from five years ago.

Her intoxicating fragrance, soft little hands, a smooth face, and those long legs that could make any man drool. Everything about her screamed that she was a real beauty.

Andrew remained perfectly still because he never expected Rowan to secretly come to rescue him. However, if he left with her now, everything he had worked for would be wasted.

"Come on, let's go! What's wrong with you?" Rowan whispered urgently.

Seeing Andrew's blank, dull look, she began to panic. Then, a terrifying thought struck her, draining the color from her face.

She gasped and mumbled, "Phantom Mirage... No.... Don't tell me you've been brainwashed by Phantom Mirage! Grandma told me that Mr. Thornton's adopted son, Eric... that bastard's hypnosis technique is terrifying! Anyone who falls under it loses their mind little by little until they become a puppet, just a shell, completely controlled..."

Her voice trembled, and her thoughts spiraled. She waved a hand in front of Andrew's face, but there was no reaction. Then, she shook his shoulders, but still no reaction.

Finally, she slapped him across the face. "Snap out of it!"

Andrew cursed silently, 'Damn, this girl hits hard! That hurt!'

Still, he held still, determined to stay in character and pay her back later.

Rowan tried everything she could think of, but nothing worked. Her face fell, eyes filled with heartbreak as she stared at him. "You jerk... five years ago, you promised you'd come back to see me. Did you know? I waited for you for five years. Five whole years!"
