Chapter 2

Author: Kaye Knight
My words left Madeline pale with shock.

She slapped her thigh in desperation. "That manipulative witch! Oh, my poor, foolish son!"

Seeing the firefighters prepare for the rescue, Madeline grabbed one of their arms and pleaded, "Please, I beg you, save my son! I've raised him alone, and it's been anything but easy."

The firefighter brushed her off with a few perfunctory words and quickly turned back to the fire.

Madeline paced anxiously, muttering curses under her breath. Soon, the firefighters emerged, carrying out two figures blackened by smoke.

"Vincent! What's happened to you?" Madeline rushed forward.

Vincent lay there, covered in soot and burns, unconscious and barely breathing. By contrast, Tammy, who had been rescued alongside him, looked relatively unscathed—dirty but with only a few scrapes on her arms.

"Call an ambulance!"

"How touching. He must have shielded her with his body. No wonder he's so badly hurt."

"His legs might not make it. What a shame, he's still so young."

Hearing the firefighters' murmurs, Madeline staggered and fainted on the spot.

The ambulance whisked all three to the hospital.

Tammy and Madeline were fine. But Vincent's injuries were severe—both legs required amputation, and his face was disfigured by burns.

"Vincent, why are we cursed with such misfortune?" Madeline wailed in the hospital room.

"Mom, where's Tammy?" Vincent's weak voice interrupted her cries.

Just hearing that name reignited his mother's fury. "How dare you bring her up? If it weren't for her, would you be like this?"

As if summoned, Tammy entered the room.

"Vincent..." Her voice was timid.

"You shameless witch!" Madeline lunged, grabbing Tammy's hair and dragging her to the hospital bed. "Look at what you've done to my son! You've got to take responsibility for this!"

Tammy froze, the theatrics in her expression vanishing in panic.

"Are you trying to guilt-trip me?" she snapped, backing away.

"Who else should take responsibility? You sabotaged his relationships from the start! And now Vincent is crippled because of you!" Madeline howled in despair.

"There's no way I'll be with a cripple!" Tammy's rejection was immediate, leaving Vincent visibly crushed.

"You witch! If you won't take responsibility, I won't let this go!" Madeline yanked at her hair, pulling Tammy into a screaming, flailing fight.

I leaned against the doorway, watching their chaos unfold with quiet amusement, already planning the next act in my little show.

A crowd of reporters burst into the hospital room, cameras flashing.

"Hello, are you the hero who saved your girlfriend from today's fire?"

"Sir, do you regret your actions?"

"What's next for your relationship?"

Their rapid questions left everyone frozen in awkward silence.

Tammy and Madeline raised their hands defensively, caught off guard.

One reporter zeroed in on Tammy. "It looks like you were arguing. Is it true you refuse to care for the man who risked his life for you?"

Tammy's face went blank.

If she repeated her earlier words, the internet's outrage would destroy her life. Forced by the mounting pressure, she managed to force a smile.

    Lately, Tammy's life seemed to have undergone a quiet but noticeable transformation.Once struggling to make ends meet, she now had a wardrobe full of new clothes and glittering jewelry.There was a brighter energy about her, a lightness she hadn't shown before.But she started coming home later and later.Whenever Vincent questioned her, she brushed him off with the same excuse—overtime at work.Vincent grew increasingly suspicious.But I already knew the truth.The private investigator I hired told me Tammy had found herself a wealthy benefactor.With his financial support, she no longer needed to drag herself through endless shifts for a meager paycheck.The monthly allowance she received was more than enough, even after giving some to the Parcelle family and keeping the rest for herself.No wonder she looked so radiant, as if she'd been reborn.I also heard she'd been begging her new benefactor to help her escape Vincent and his overbearing mother.But I wasn't about to

How is a guy like you supposed to make her happy? I'm just doing you a favor, looking after your woman."Vincent's chest tightened with fury. He turned to Tammy, his voice trembling.
