We're releasing balloons on Christmas Eve when Milton Jenning's lover deliberately sets off fireworks. They explode on me, burning me severely. My back, already torn and raw from skin grafts for her, becomes even more of a bloodied mess. However, I don't ask Milton for help. Instead, I shield a recently reunited heir of a wealthy family beneath me, risking everything to save him. In my past life, Milton kicked me in the back and told me not to stand in the way of him taking his lover to the hospital. "Is it funny to you to use a child as a cover, Larissa? Even if you're pregnant, you and your baby are just walking skin providers for Rita! I must've spoiled you—how dare you do something as heinous as this!" I was blacklisted by all hospitals and ended up dying while pregnant. My heart was filled with hatred as I breathed my last breath. When I open my eyes again, I see Rita Atkinson secretly aim fireworks at the night sky and set them off. I hear her laugh manically as she says, "You and your child can die together!"

Rita broke down even further, her voice cracking with desperation. "You promised when we were kids that you'd marry me! Why did you marry Larissa instead? Just because she saved your life? You never loved her—if you did, how could you believe me so easily?"Just then, Mr. Patton Senior's voice cut through the chaos. "Milton, don't forget who caused that car accident all those years ago."Rita widened her eyes instantly. "How do you know that?"She realized too late she'd said too much—fear spread across her face like wildfire.And just as expected, Milton snapped. He tore at the patch of skin grafted onto Rita's body—my skin. "I'll kill you!"I watched the whole scene unfold with an emotionless stare.Even if Rita died… who would bring back my father and child?Compared to everything I'd lost, Milton's belated guilt meant nothing.Rita collapsed to the ground, her face swollen and bruised. As she fell, her gaze caught mine. "Larissa… you're alive?"At her words, Milton's head

"I've cut ties with Rita. Is that what you all wanted?" Milton's shoulders slumped, and his voice was heavy with bitterness."There's a reason for everything… Rita and I grew up together. If Larissa hadn't saved me back then, the one I should've married was—"Before he even finished the sentence, the last defense around my heart crumbled completely. I'd never felt so shattered."It's not that I didn't love her, I just couldn't let go of my guilt toward Rita. But now I finally understand… the one I truly love is Larissa," he continued in a low voice.The once-powerful, untouchable Milton—now pale as a ghost—could barely stay on his feet."If you'll just tell me where she is…" His pursed lips tightened as he made a shocking declaration."I'll announce the bankruptcy of Jenning Group and live a simple life with Larissa—as just husband and wife."But to me, every word dripped with hypocrisy.When he was worth billions, he couldn't even protect me. If he were penniless… how much mor
Jealousy Burns Chapter 7
Under Mr. Patton Senior's orders, a notice was posted outside the Patton residence gate.Clear and bold, it read, "Milton and dogs not allowed inside."In my memory, Milton had never looked so humbled–he begged the security guards in a low voice just for a chance to see me.From inside the courtyard, Oliver kicked a soccer ball straight at his head in an effort to stand up for me.Blood trickled from Milton's temple, but Mr. Patton Senior merely scoffed beside him. "Larissa's dead because of you. Who do you think you're putting on this little act for?" he mocked.The housekeepers followed his command and tossed all the bags Milton had brought directly into the trash, right in front of him. Then, loud and clear, Mr. Patton Senior announced that the Patton and Jenning families would never cooperate again.Milton opened his mouth, ready to explain, but after one call from Rita, he turned around without a word and walked away.Before leaving, he clenched his fists and looked Mr.

Thankfully, heaven showed me mercy—I survived.My only regret… was losing that innocent child.I often found myself sinking into silent sorrow.But maybe, in a way, it was a blessing. To be spared from being born into such a twisted family—wasn't that its own kind of luck?Mr. Patton Senior took me in as his goddaughter and brought me back to the Patton residence to recover and rest.Whenever I thought of Milton outside the OR—weeping and begging for forgiveness—my nose would sting. He hadn't even sent anyone to the hospital to check if I'd lived.Rita, on the other hand, had been incredibly active. Her sweet, smiling photos with Milton flooded every corner of social media.The wedding dress she wore seemed to stab straight through my heart. That dress was something I'd poured six months of work into.Milton had promised that as long as I gave Rita the skin grafts, he would hold a wedding and announce my identity to the world.When Mr. Patton Senior received their engagement i

Right after I finished speaking, Rita threw herself off the hospital bed. Her eyes were red-rimmed and swollen, filled with stubbornness and sorrow."Looks like I've been getting in the way of your perfect little family. The doctor said if I didn't get new skin grafts soon, the burns could kill me.

There was a time when, if Milton had asked, I would've given him everything—even my heart and soul—without hesitation.But now, as I laughed, hot and heavy tears spilled down my cheeks. My voice was steadier than ever, filled with a kind of finality I'd never known before."I'm not giving him up,"

Milton's cold words stabbed into my heart like steel needles. The exhaust fumes from the car made my lungs seize up, and suddenly, I coughed up a mouthful of blood.After wiping it away with the back of my hand, I let out a bitter laugh.Milton's loyalty would always tip toward Rita."Oh, my God!
Jealousy Burns Chapter 1
The moment the fireworks collided with the hydrogen balloon, I was instantly swallowed by a roaring blaze.Thick, choking smoke stung my lungs, which made breathing almost impossible. I forced myself to stay calm despite the searing pain in my lower abdomen and back."Larissa… it hurts so much…"
