Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2461

Andrew slapped Valerie hard across her beautiful face, twice in a row.

He hissed, "I told you to quit acting up! The first slap is for looking down on Amari. The second is to remind you just how cruel this world can be. I'm not your dad, and I'm sure as hell not someone who'll keep pampering you."

Valerie froze, completely stunned by the slaps. Her cheeks burned with pain, but it could not compare to the shock and fury boiling inside her.

She shrieked, "You actually slapped me? You actually hit me in the face? You bastard, I swear I'll kill you!"

Andrew's palms landed again, this time on her waist and lower back. The blows were heavy, leaving clear red marks blooming on her bare skin.

"You're my prisoner now, and you still have the nerve to threaten me? You really don't seem to understand your situation. The one who's going to die here isn't me, it's you."

Valerie's fury exploded. "You filthy bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

However, Andrew just kept going, landing a flurry of slaps across her slender waist and backside. Each strike made her body jolt, her brow twitching as cold sweat poured down her temples.

Andrew's hits were not fatal, but they stung worse than she had ever imagined.

"You bastard! You'd better kill me now, or I swear I'll come for you when I'm free!" Valerie shouted through gritted teeth.

Andrew tilted his head, studying her flawless face with a hint of mockery. "Still acting tough? You've got guts, huh?"

Valerie glared back at him. "I'm not afraid, but are you even bold enough to kill me?"

Andrew's smirk deepened. "You're about to find out."

In two swift motions, he tore her clothes open from the neck down, stripping her completely.
