Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 287 Natasha yawned lazily and said , Alright , get some rest Im tired too .

We have important business tomorrow , and will be there .

Ill see if I can get him to warm up to me then .

Antonio and the others could only force awkward laughs before quickly departing .

They knew Natasha treated her subordinates well and was fiercely loyal .

Combined with her exceptional combat skills and leadership , she maintained firm control over West End , but she was still a woman and a straightforward one at that , sometimes even more straightforward than the toughest men .

This often left older members like Antonio at a loss for words .

Meanwhile , in the Northern District , a subordinate entered Atlass office to report .

Mr.

Giordano , our men watched until dawn , but Dylan and Andrew never left West Ends headquarters .

Atlas extinguished his cigar and scoffed .

Natasha must have let them out through the set tunnels .

Damn it , it looks like Andrew has convinced her to ally with Dylan .

Should we proceed with the assassination attempts on Dylan and Andrew , Mr.

Giordano ? the subordinate asked .

Atlas waved dismissively .

Dylan will be on high alert , so sending assassins would be suicide .

As for Andrew , I dont know his true capabilities yet .

Well hold off to avoid tipping our hand .

The subordinate sneered .

He looks like a weakling to me just a smooth talker with a pretty face .

Give me a few good men , and Ill take care of him for you .

Atlas laughed coldly .

You fool .

Though I havent gauged his strength yet , youd just get yourself killed .

Our priority is taking down either West End or South City first .

Once I control Jayrodales underworld , that boy will be at my mercy .

The subordinate flushed red .

Of course , Mr.

Giordano .

Ill take my leave .

Atlas stopped him , asking , Wheres Finley ? Madam Vostokoff is hosting a gala today and invited him .

He left early this morning with his entourage , all dressed up , the subordinate replied .

Atlas grunted in disapproval .

Finley will get himself killed chasing women one of these days .

Still , let him go and probe Natashas intentions .

I hope that pretty widow is smart enough not to actually ally with Dylan and sign her own death warrant .

After the subordinate left , Atlass phone buzzed .

Seeing the caller ID , his rough face softened with a hint of indulgence as he answered .

Chapter 287 Missing me , baby ? Atlas answered sweetly , his tough guy persona melting away .

On the other end of the line , a sweet , sultry voice whined , Baby , you havent been visiting lately .

Have you found someone new ? Atlas chuckled .

Youre my one and only , my little star .

Be patient , baby .

Once I take care of some big business , Ill spoil you properly .

She giggled .

Youre terrible … Im not in the modd for your special juice lately .

Atlas roared with laughter .

It was moments like these that made her his favorite she always knew how to keep things playful and exciting .

Im going to a gala today , she continued , sounding pitiful .

Everyone there will be rich and powerful .

Ill look so plain , and theyll all look down on me its making me anxious .

Atlas made a grand gesture .

Baby , youre my woman .

Anyone who dares disrespect you must be tired of living .

Enjoy yourself and spend whatever you want .

Ill transfer money to you right now .
