Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2971 Only Knox stood there in a daze at first, then turned to look at Andrew with that disappointed look of someone watching their idol fall. "Andrew, h-h-how... Do you have any idea that Nyx is the dream girl of countless guys out here in the Wastelands? She's a goddess to so many of us, and you just... You just went and slept with her like that? It's over. My dreams are shattered. My goddess!" Andrew acted all innocent and asked, "What if | told you it wasn't on purpose?

Would you believe me?" Knox roared back, "Hell no!" Then, he grinned, all sleazy-looking as he sidled up closer to Andrew. "But hey, you can at least give me the details, right? Is Nyx's ass as good as it looks? How did it fee!? Damn, man, you're seriously something else, too insane, too badass. "You've only been in Dragonfang for how long, and you already landed Nyx? Andrew, from now on, you're my hero! Seriously, | never imagined you'd be this incredible. I'm ready to submit to you right now..." The way he danced around and acted shamelessly made ---- Andrew shake his head in disbelief.

This whole thing really was not something Andrew had expected to happen. Nyx finished getting dressed and limped out of the secret chamber. Andrew approached her with genuine concern, offering, "Let me help you back." Nyx turned her head away. "Don't touch me!" She sounded cold and distant, like she was keeping everyone out. Andrew backed off awkwardly and had to step aside. Knox chuckled and moved forward eagerly. "Nyx, how about I help you instead?" Nyx glared at him. "Get lost!" Knox felt embarrassed, then laughed it off, scratching his messy hair as he walked away.

Once Nyx had walked off into the distance, he turned to Andrew. He whispered, "Andrew, you're screwed." Andrew let out a long sigh. "Yeah, I've figured that out myself." ---- Knox thought about it and said, "At this point, you've only got one way out. If you commit to it, you might actually turn things around!" Andrew asked, "What's that?" Knox waved him closer, then lowered his voice. "She's pissed off right now. Clearly, she's furious about what you did. So right now, the more you baby her and beg for forgiveness, the less she'll give you the time of day.

Instead, you do the exact opposite and go for her again." He chuckled and added, "I guarantee you, Nyx will be totally under your control from then on, eating out of your hand. | understand how women think. The more you spoil her and pamper her, the more stuck-up she'll get. But flip it around, the more you dominate her, the more possessive and assertive you are with her, the more her defenses will crumble. Just like that, you've got her." He explained, "Nyx is proud, intimidating, and powerful. But that's exactly why you need to be even more proud, more powerful, more dominant than her.

Got it?" After saying all that, Knox crossed his arms and looked at Andrew proudly, clearly waiting for praise and a thumbs up. Suddenly, he was slapped hard across his face! ---- Knox felt the burning sting immediately. "Who the hell? I'm going to kill..." He turned around furiously, ready to curse. Instead, he saw Nyx, who had somehow come back and was standing behind him, staring coldly at him. "Alright, Nyx, Andrew, you two take your time talking. I'm going home to bring in my laundry." Holding his swollen face, Knox slunk away with his head hanging low.

Andrew almost burst out laughing, thinking that Knox was just too unlucky. In the hall, only the two of them remained, and silence fell between them.
