Burning My Love to Ashes Chapter 2
The pain in my stomach hit so hard that it felt like I almost bit my tongue off. I fought to push through the burning heat.Just then, Phyllis stirred on my back, coughing from the smoke.She clung to me and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Caleb! Your wife and kid are stuck in here! Who the hell do you think you're sending to the hospital?"I paused, straining to hear anything from outside. But all I heard was silence. Caleb was long gone.The fire had warped the wardrobe. It crashed down, blocking our only way out. My hands were shaking as I poured the last of the water onto the towel and handed it to Phyllis.She looked at me, tears streaming down her face. She opened her mouth to say something, but then, we heard the sirens again from downstairs, just like when the rescue team showed up earlier.Caleb must've taken off with Brianna.The fire was getting worse by the second, and all I could think was that we were probably done for.Phyllis coughed a few more times, then wen

I woke up and found myself in a ward. The nurse saw I was awake and deliberately threw the medicine bottle into the trash with a loud clink.Her voice was dripping with sarcasm as she said, "You really are a tough one. After all the harm you caused, the only thing you lost was your baby. Guess you're lucky."My throat felt like it was burning, and I couldn't get a word out. All I could do was swallow her insults in silence.Suddenly, the nurse slammed the door open with a loud bang and shouted to the people outside, "The suspect's awake! Get her out of here. We don't want her messing up our hospital. She actually went after a fallen hero's daughter! What a joke! She should've just been left to burn!"Two people at the door grabbed me without saying a word, and before I knew it, I was being taken to see Caleb.There was a table between us. His face was stormy like he was about to snap.He wasted no time laying the blame on me as soon as he spoke. He said, "You're cold-blooded fo

I looked at Caleb, fighting the urge to laugh. "When I say the baby's gone, I mean our child died. I did everything to get Phyllis out of that fire, and then, you kicked me so hard that you killed our baby."Caleb's eyes went wide with shock.Brianna jumped in, saying, "Stop lying! You must've been carrying someone else's kid, and you were scared Cay would find out. So, you found a way to get rid of it!"A bitter laugh escaped me. "You seriously think I'd risk my life in a fire just to lose my baby? Brianna, you have a real knack for twisting everything. Is there any lie you won't tell?"Brianna was red with anger. She let out a hurt whimper. "She's making stuff up again, Cay. I don't know why she hates me so much…"She tried to snuggle into Caleb's arms, but he stayed still, his eyes fixed on my belly.My health wasn't the best. Caleb and I both wanted this baby so badly. He knew that, no matter how cold I came off, I'd never do anything to hurt my child on purpose."I never me

I looked at Caleb's serious face and couldn't help but laugh. He accused me of starting the fire without even asking me a single question, and now, he was all about "protecting" me."I don't need anyone's protection, Caleb. I didn't start the fire, so feel free to investigate all you want," I said, turning to leave.He tightened his grip on my wrist. His eyes were a mix of confusion and exhaustion, like he couldn't figure out if he should cover for me."You're older than Bri, but why are you acting less thoughtful than she is?" he asked.When Brianna heard that, her expression went from pure hatred to something that looked almost sad."If that's what you want, Cay, I'll let it go for your sake. I won't press charges, but I'm honestly worried Jean might pull something crazy again. You promised my parents you'd never let me deal with this…"I stopped and turned to look at them.As soon as Brianna brought up her parents, Caleb's expression shifted in a flash. After a second, it loo

Like a lot of women, I put up with way too much for the guy I chose. I thought maybe having a baby would make Caleb see things differently.But now, he was the one who caused our baby's death. And I finally realized he wasn't going to change.I was done being the "third wheel" stuck between him and Brianna. But before I left for good, I wanted to take back something for myself.I opened my eyes and found myself staring at the same white ceiling.The nurse kept slamming things around, grumbling to herself, "It doesn't make any sense. The person who saved a life can't wake up, but the one who caused all this is fine. His mom's still in the hospital, but he drops the charges. It's just ridiculous."I gathered every ounce of strength to sit up in bed. Then, I glanced at the nurse. "You're Brianna's friend, right? Even if she wants to drop the lawsuit, I'm not backing down."The nurse rolled her eyes and left.A moment later, Caleb rushed in, looking flustered. "Can you stop making t

Phyllis was already sitting up in bed. The moment she heard Caleb's words, she kicked him hard in the chest and yelled, "You bastard! How the hell did I end up raising someone so dumb? Are you really this thick? "Jeanette was here with me! When you left with Brianna, and when she said no one else was around, Jeanette was the one who gave me that last bit of water. That's the only reason I'm still breathing!"Caleb's eyes went wide in shock. He dropped to the floor, stunned for a long while.When Phyllis looked up, she spotted me in the doorway and waved me over.A flood of emotions hit me all at once, and I barely managed to choke out, "P-Phyllis…"Tears ran down her face, and as if something snapped inside her, she jumped up and began kicking and hitting Caleb again."What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you something was off with Brianna? Why the hell do you keep getting wrapped up in her mess and ignoring Jeanette?"Suddenly, Brianna appeared in the middle of the chaos, call

Caleb started crying like a kid, but I didn't feel a thing."Caleb, you're just going to take her word for it, huh? If Sam hadn't shown up, Phyllis and I would've burned alive. Then, you wouldn't have cared enough to investigate our deaths. You would've just gone with the 'tragic accident' story because Brianna told you to, right?"He covered his face and went quiet for what seemed like forever. Finally, he signed the divorce agreement and left without a word. We agreed to meet in a week to finalize everything.…The day finally came, and I was feeling good. I'd gotten enough sleep, was wearing the new clothes I picked out, and was holding it together.Caleb, though, looked like he hadn't slept in days. When he saw me from a distance, his eyes were already red.He got closer, and I could hear him fighting to keep his voice steady. "Jeanette, are we really—""There's no going back, Caleb," I cut him off.He didn't say anything else. He left me the house, the car, and the savings

"Hang on, Jeanette! I swear I'll get you out of here!"That familiar voice snapped me back to reality and made me break out in a cold sweat. I opened my eyes just in time to see the burnt wooden door—warped from the flames—crash down, missing my face by inches.Terrified, I pulled my mother-in-law, Phyllis Mason, back into the bedroom."Don't open the windows, Phyllis! That'll just make the fire worse," I said.I quickly scanned the room, grabbed a pillowcase, soaked it with bottled water, and handed it to her so she could cover her mouth and nose.I could hear the sirens getting louder outside.Phyllis' face lit up with relief. "Don't be afraid. Caleb's here with the rescue team. We'll be fine."I looked at her hopeful face, then lowered my gaze, my heart heavy. I had no clue how to tell her that one day, Caleb Holt would end up killing her granddaughter for the woman he truly loved.The fire raged on, and the heat inside was unbearable. The tiles beneath our feet were almost
