Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Freya looked utterly embarrassed. "I know what I'm asking is way out of line. You're such an exceptional man. Hannah no longer has her innocence and is no longer worthy of you. For her sake... I'm willing to make it up to you."

Seeing her face flush deeper with every word, Andrew shook his head. "This isn't about compensation, it's just... inappropriate.

"First of all, Hannah and I have no emotional foundation at all. Second, I'm already in a relationship with more than one person. And lastly, this whole thing really has nothing to do with you, Ms. Freya. You don't need to do this."noveldrama

Freya opened her mouth, looking shy and struggling to find words. Finally, she whispered barely audibly, "Hannah is my little sister. If I can help her, I will, no questions asked."

She added, "Andrew, how about this? You date Hannah and help her get through this trauma, and I promise to be your mistress afterward, giving myself to you as payment."

By the end, her delicate body was trembling uncontrollably from embarrassment.

Andrew was stunned and felt his head spinning. "What did you just say?"

Freya mustered her courage and suddenly stepped forward, biting her red lips as she grabbed Andrew's hand. Under Andrew's shocked gaze, she pressed his large hand against her chest.

"Feel this..... Feels good, doesn't it? Andrew, I'm serious. If you can just help Hannah this once, you can have both me and her however you want. I know how disgusting this sounds, but I don't know what else to do."

Her tearful eyes shimmered under the streetlight, shimmering with desperation and pleading.

"Andrew, if you agree right now, I can come with you tonight. I can even let you go without protection."

As if afraid Andrew would not agree, she kept raising the stakes higher and higher. In the end, she had reached the point of outright seduction.

Even Andrew, experienced as he was, felt completely flustered. "No, Ms. Freya, don't do this! This isn't about protection or not. It's unfair to you, and it's asking way too much of met We can think of other solutions."

Freya smiled bitterly. "If there were other good solutions, Logan and Dad wouldn't be so worried. Honestly, Hannah being violated and humiliated has been a massive blow to everyone in the Keller family.

"I've thought it over, and you're the only one who can get justice for the Keller family. You're also the only one who can save Hannah. With any other man, she'd either look down on him or get bored after a few days.

"Only you have what it takes to handle her in every way. That silly girl doesn't respect anyone except those who can control her."

Andrew pulled his hand back, a strange thought flashing through his mind. Freya was probably the petite type. She did not compare to his voluptuous Francesca, but the feel was definitely as good as Aspen's.

Shaking his head, Andrew cursed himself for being such a beast.

Why was he thinking about this stuff at a time like this?

"Ms. Freya, your compensation is very tempting. You're beautiful and charming, but I'm sorry, I still can't help you with this. The only thing I can do is make sure Hank pays the price."

In the end, Andrew still refused. He really could not bring himself to like Hannah, especially since she had contracted an STI and been abused by Hank. He was not going to be anyone's rebound guy. Moreover, without any feelings involved, he could not bring himself to do this.

Freya panicked. "Andrew, feel them again! I know that just touching doesn't really satisfy you men. How about this... I can do other things too. Don't worry, I'm still a virgin..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, trailing off completely when she saw the intensity in Andrew's gaze. All the courage she had just built up collapsed instantly, and she could not say another word.

"Ms. Freya, Ms. Hannah is lucky to have a sister like you. I know no one cares about her more than you do, but this needs to be handled gradually."

Andrew sighed and flagged down a cab on the street. "That's enough for tonight. It's too late, and I need to head back."
