Burn My Love to a Crisp Chapter 5
Stanley held a storybook and read softly to Hannah until she finally fell asleep.Sabrina moved closer. The space between them grew smaller until their lips were almost touching.Stanley turned his head away. "Don't do this."Sabrina draped herself over him, resting her head on his shoulder. "Do you think I'm beneath you because I'm divorced and have a child? Is that it?""No," Stanley denied. "I'm already married.""But you should have been mine." Sabrina's tone was filled with absolute certainty.She looked at him intently, and their gazes locked."Stanley, don't deny it. You've fallen for me. Even though you've known Jaycee for years, you've still fallen for me. You're just used to Jaycee. It's not love."You love me, Stanley," she said with conviction.Stanley averted his gaze. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Don't think about this. Rest for now."He stood up and left, almost as if fleeing the room.I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.I was the first to n

I let out a sigh of relief. At least Stanley wasn't sulking enough to skip the school activity. This way, he would find out about Lily's situation.I wondered where Lily was now and how the burn on her face was.Stanley's phone buzzed again. It was a reply to his earlier message."You don't need to attend Lily's school activity. She doesn't need an irresponsible dad like you. I've already asked Harry to go with Lily. She likes him anyway."Stanley stared intently at his phone screen. His expression darkened as the air around him grew colder.He sent me a voice message, his tone seething with anger."You're trying to drive a wedge between me and Lily just so she'll get closer to Harry, aren't you? When did you start messing around with him? Do you think you can take Lily and run off with another man? Dream on!"I won't let you leave, and I'll never let Lily go to another man! If Lily wants to act this way, I'll let her feel what it's like to have no dad around."As I watched Sta

I couldn't help but laugh bitterly.Just then, Stanley's phone rang. I leaned closer to see the screen. It was Emelia Schmidt, Lily's homeroom teacher.My chest tightened, and I held my breath.Emelia's voice came through the speaker. "Is this Lily Atkinson's dad?""Yes," Stanley replied.Before he could say more, Emelia's anxious words poured out, "You need to come to the school right away. Lily's been hurt badly, and I can't reach her mom.""Okay, I'll be right there." After a pause, Stanley cleared his throat and asked awkwardly, "Uh... Which class is Lily in again?"I hovered beside Stanley, desperate to see Lily.When I finally saw her, tears streamed down my face, and my entire being trembled.Lily was filthy, missing one shoe, and the bandage on her face was soaked with blood.Stanley frowned deeply. "What happened? How could your mom let this happen to you?"Lily's eyes welled up with tears as she grabbed his arm. "Daddy, you have to save Mommy! She told me to find y

Stanley didn't arrive at the hospital until nightfall.By then, someone else was already at Lily's side—Harry Davidson.Lily seemed much better. There was a smile on her face, and she sounded excited. "Are you serious, Mr. Davidson? You'll really take me to see Mommy?"Harry hesitated before replying, "Your mom is at my house. But Lily, you need to get better first. If you're not well, your mom will be sad."Lily nodded enthusiastically. "I'll get better soon! I want to see Mommy!"Stanley's icy voice cut through the moment as he stormed across the room and grabbed Harry by the collar. "Where are you hiding Jaycee? Don't forget. She's my wife."Harry glared back and threw a hard punch. "You don't deserve to say her name. The biggest mistake I made was handing her to you.""Daddy!" Lily ran forward in a panic. "Mr. Davidson, don't hit Daddy! If you want to hit someone, hit me instead."Stanley shoved Lily away forcefully, sending her tumbling to the floor. He pointed at her and

Stanley ended the call and immediately dialed for a video call.On the screen, Lily's eyes were swollen from crying. Her tears fell without stopping."When Grandma passed away, Mommy told me Grandma became a star. Does that mean Mommy's gone too? Daddy, I'll never see Mommy again."Lily broke down into loud sobs.I floated beside Stanley, reaching out to gently stroke the screen where Lily appeared."Baby, don't cry. Becoming a star means I'll always be with you. Even when you become an old lady, I'll still be by your side."Stanley's face darkened as he frowned. "Tell your mom to pick up the phone. Don't think you can fool me with a photo like that."Lily didn't respond, only crying harder.Stanley's patience was running thin. He raised his voice, calling out, "Jaycee Hartman! Jaycee!"His voice grew louder, but there was no answer.His tone turned cold as he threatened me, "I'll give you three days, Jaycee. If you don't come back, I'll have Lily expelled. I mean it. Lily's

I let out a sneer, suddenly looking forward to the dogfight between Stanley and Sabrina.As expected, Sabrina got Stanley drunk that very night. She dressed in my clothes and mimicked my appearance to seduce him.When Stanley woke up and saw Sabrina lying next to him, it took him a moment to process what had happened.Sabrina shed her usual weak and innocent demeanor and used Stanley's company to threaten him.Since Stanley let his guard down around her, she managed to steal confidential information from his company.In exchange for the company's interests, he agreed to divorce me but firmly refused to marry her.He sent me a long voice message. "We'll get divorced first. I'll transfer the assets to your name. Once everything is sorted out, we'll remarry."Before he could get a reply from me, Harry arrived with Lily."Where's Jaycee?""You need to go identify Jaycee's body, or she can't be cremated."Both Stanley and Harry spoke at the same time.Stanley froze.

I watched Stanley lose control with a cold gaze. I didn't actually feel a thing.The five-year-old he referred to was when we first met. I had been abducted by a group of criminals, and Stanley was one of the children held captive with me. He protected me as we escaped.Upon learning that he was an orphan, my family adopted him, and we grew up together for more than 20 years. But Sabrina's appearance shattered everything until I was consumed by the fire."Sign this and arrange for her cremation. Let Jaycee rest in peace." Harry handed over the body release form to Stanley, but his eyes never left me.Supporting himself against the iron bed, Stanley struggled several times before finally managing to stand up.He clutched my charred body, and his arms tightened around me."No, I won't let Jaycee be burned. She must be in so much pain. She must be so scared. Jaycee is mine. No one can touch her."Harry ignored Stanley's frenzy, calmly stating, "You've already killed Jaycee. Can't y

Stanley prepared a grand wedding. But on the day of the ceremony, he abducted Hannah.Sabrina hadn't even had a chance to take off her wedding dress before she rushed to the abandoned building as agreed."Let Hannah go, Stanley. She's just a child. She's innocent," Sabrina pleaded."If you want to save your daughter, you'll have to risk everything." Stanley threw a lighter out of his hand.The fire spread quickly, and the smoke was so thick that it obscured everything.Sabrina broke free from the police and rushed into the flames.Standing amidst the fire, Stanley laughed madly. "You're right. We both deserve to die. We should all die with Jaycee."But Stanley's hope was shattered as they were saved.However, Sabrina suffered severe burns on her face. And Hannah, exposed to the thick smoke for too long, was left mentally impaired.Stanley was sentenced to over ten years for abduction and arson.When he was released from prison, he went to see Lily.

I was shocked.Who had sent the message using my phone? How could they be so familiar with me that they could even sound like me?Stanley didn't suspect anything. He sighed and called me, but his calls were rejected one after another. Then another message came through. "Don't bother me. We're getting a divorce after the baby is born."Stanley's face darkened further. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and walked out of the bathroom.Sabrina walked over and asked in concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick? You look terrible."Stanley shook his head. "If there's nothing urgent here, I'll go home first."I was a bit surprised. Normally, he would leave me alone to calm down when we argued. But now, he was actually trying to go home.Sabrina didn't say anything. Just then, there was a cry from the kitchen. She rushed over.Hannah had burned her hand. "Mommy, I wanted to make something for you and Daddy Stanley."Stanley saw it too. His expression turned stern as he scolded
