Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 Whats your problem ? Simon demanded angrily .

Move aside .

Ill take Fran to her room myself , Andrew replied coldly .

Simon barely contained his rage as he insisted , Just hand her over .

As her senior apprentice , Im the most qualified to look after her ! Actually , I was going to let you take her , Andrew said mockingly .

But now I dont trust you , so Id better do it myself .

Simons constant jealousy and hostility had worn Andrews patience thin .

Though fuming , Simon had no choice but to step aside and let Andrew carry Francesca to her room .

After making sure she was settled safely , Andrew stepped out .

Now you can get lost ! Simon spat .

Andrew gave him a cold look and replied , Stop deluding yourself , Simon .

Fran has no feelings for you .

He strode away , leaving Simon red faced with anger .

The front door slammed behind Andrew as he reached the street to call a cab back to the Moonlit Sanctuary .

However , Simons predatory glances toward Francesca kept nagging at his mind .

Something felt wrong .

Andrew frowned and quickly turned back toward the Aicker residence .

Meanwhile , inside , Simon crept toward Francescas room .

After checking that the other apprentices were asleep and Cedric was still out , he reached for her door with ill intent .

Fran , tonight , Im going to make you mine ! Simons throat burned with desire as he stared at the peacefully sleeping Francesca lying on the bed .

I wasnt thinking clearly .

Please forgive me ! Andrew emerged from the shadows with a cold stare .

Wasnt thinking clearly ? Somehow , I doubt that .

Youre not Mr.

Aicker ! Simon exclaimed in shock .

Andrew , when did you come back ?
