Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1929

Andrew said, "Have you forgotten what my identity and background used to be? Me, afraid of some Special Ops director? You've got to be kidding me!"

Chantelle was stunned for a moment. Then, she burst into laughter. "Got it, honey… You're the Lloyds' Dragon Prince, and your Chetvine Lloyds are royal bloodlines, so you're absolutely incredible, okay?"

This was the first time she had called Andrew 'honey', and she discovered it rolled off her tongue incredibly naturally. Tonight, she could finally move into Serenity Villa, a privilege reserved only for official girlfriends. Just thinking about it made Chantelle incredibly excited.

Meanwhile, the video of Hank apologizing on his knees had already spread. It greatly helped to restore the Keller family's honor after the humiliation. Nonetheless, Hannah's emotional wounds could not heal overnight.

"Hannah, cheer up. Look, Andrew already got revenge for you!"

"That's right, Hannah! From now on, start fresh and become that happy girl you used to be!"

Emily and Freya were doing their best to comfort her.

Hannah lay face-down on her bed, sobbing into her pillow, "Emily, Freya, why do I still feel miserable even after that animal Hank apologized to me? My innocence is gone, and I'm not a proper lady anymore!"

Emily sighed. "Hannah, try to look on the bright side! At least you've gotten back some of your dignity and self-respect!"

Freya added, "Hannah, you still have us, Logan, and Dad; even Andrew, too. Don't worry, you haven't lost anything important!"

Hannah sobbed harder. "Freya… what hurts me most is Andrew. He seems so disgusted with me now, like he doesn't want anything to do with me. And now, every time I even think of another man, I feel sick… like they're all as disgusting as Hank. Andrew's the only one I can bear to think about.
