Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 1152 Natasha joked, "Aspen, of all times, you could've walked out, you just had to pick the moment I was getting cozy with my darling.

You're not jealous, are you? Trying to ruin the mood on purpose?" Aspen let out a cold laugh.

"Madam Vostokoff, you're overthinking it.

If you two want to flirt or even start going at it right here, it has nothing to do with me.

If you think I was interrupting, then I apologize.

I'll leave right now so you two can carry on." Natasha chuckled.

"Come on now, Snow Queen, we're all on the same side here.

I was just teasing.

Don't take it to heart." The icy look on Aspen's face finally faded a little.

"I'm heading out.

A small firm is requesting investment from Supreme Capital Group, so I'm going to check them out and see if they're worth our time." She threw that out to Andrew with zero warmth, then strutted off, her hips swaying confidently as she left Serenity Villa.

Andrew immediately instructed Dylan's crew to follow and keep her safe.

Natasha scoffed.

"Aspen is still the samealways full of her little schemes.

She totally couldn't stand seeing me getting affectionate with you, so she came out just to interrupt us.

But of course, she won't admit it." ---- Andrew shook his head.

"She already said ityou're reading too much into it." Natasha smirked.

"We're both women.

I know exactly what's going through her head.

Darling, trust me, Aspen's definitely developed feelings for you.

How ironic.

A servant falling in love with her boss.

She giggled, leaning in closer.

"You know what a girl like Aspen, with that twisted obsession for power, can give you?" Before Andrew could respond, she went on with a wicked grin.

"It means the more you dominate her, the more you control and humiliate her...

the more she'll crave you.

Honestly, she's probably dying to have you ravage her every night right now.

"And if you threw in some leather straps, a little spanking, maybe made her cry a little...

this girl would probably get addicted to it." Andrew finally cut her off.

"Alright, alright! That's enough.

Let's talk business now." This seductive widow was so experienced that even he had to admit defeat when it came to the way she talked.

He said, "Dylan and your people need to be fully mobilized.

Serenity Villa has to be guarded around the clock.

Anytime Aspen leaves the house, you or Dylan must be with herno exceptions." Andrew laid out the plan in a crisp, no-nonsense tone.

---- Natasha nodded, her voice turning serious.

"Don't worry.

Now that you've clashed with the Haywoods, we've got no more room for hesitation.

It's either them or us; when it comes down to it, we'll let our fists do the talking.

"Besides, with your enhancers and Reuben's training, the team we brought is top-tier.

Keeping Serenity Villa safe is well within our power.

Unless one of the Five Apex Families sends in their full- blown family security force, no one's getting close to you or Aspen.

Andrew said calmly, "It's not that extreme.

The Five Apex Families aren't as invincible as everyone makes them out to be.

Also, Reuben will be stationed here full-time.

If someone serious shows up, he'll take care of it." The Sovereign Residences already had world-class security in place.

Still, Andrew had to stay on guardafter all, some people would do absolutely anything for money.
