Love Burned to Ashes Chapter 29
But now, standing here again, remembering that fire, all that she'd been through—Samantha's chest ached so much it felt like she could barely breathe.She couldn't bring herself to believe a single word from Connor anymore."Let me go, please?" Her voice was spent. "Connor, I really don't love you anymore."Slowly, she crouched down and hugged her knees to her chest, letting her tears fall freely, soaking into the flowers at her feet."Samantha! But I still love you. I really do. I can't even begin to imagine what life would be like without you. Please, Samantha, just give me one more chance, okay?"He was about to say more when a sudden blow landed hard on the back of his head, and his body crumpled to the side, completely out of his control.It was Matt.Without a word, he pulled Samantha into his arms, holding her tight, eyes full of pain. Then he turned and stared coldly at Connor, his voice low and dangerous. "Looks like I was too soft before. I let you go, but it seems you

"Relax. Make yourself comfortable. It's just the two of us tonight—I booked the whole place.""Alright." Samantha forced a smile and said nothing more.Before the food could even arrive, everything fell apart.The fire alarm suddenly blared through the quiet restaurant, sharp and jarring.Trained staff, usually calm and composed, now moved in chaos."Fire! Run!" someone shouted.Panic broke loose as people scrambled toward the exit.Matt immediately grabbed Samantha's hand and pulled her with him. "Don't be scared, it's alright. I'm here."They made it outside and stood there for a few minutes. But from where they were, there wasn't the faintest sign of a fire inside the restaurant."What the hell is going on?" Matt demanded, turning to the manager."I—I don't know, Mr. Wilson. Please don't worry, I'll send someone in to check it right away.""Hurry up."He turned his head—and froze. Samantha, who had just been behind him, was gone.It took him less than a second to real

He moved toward Hannah slowly, deliberately.A wave of dread crashed over her, sudden and paralyzing. Her instincts kicked in—she tried to stand, to run.But Matt stepped down hard on her, pinning her in place. Then he bent, grabbed her roughly by the front of her shirt, and yanked her to her feet. Without a word, he began dragging her toward the door."What are you doing? What—what do you want?!" she struggled, panic exploding in her mind like a fire alarm.She'd heard all the rumors about Matt—ruthless, cold-blooded, the kind of man people only spoke about in whispers. The "Living King of Hell," they called him.But what she hadn't expected was how much he cared for Samantha. That terrified her even more. Because now, she wasn't sure if she'd make it out alive.Before leaving, Matt turned back. His voice was soft, impossibly gentle—completely at odds with what had just happened."I'll pick you up after work. Let's go home. I'll cook tonight."Samantha's teeth were still chatt

"You're delusional," Samantha said, her voice trembling despite her effort to stay calm. "Even if I die, he won't love you. Haven't you figured out what kind of person Connor is? He's never loved anyone—not once. From beginning to end, the only person he's ever cared about is himself."Hannah faltered, just slightly. The knife in her hand didn't waver, but her grip loosened, her eyes flickering.Sensing the shift, Samantha pressed on. "And I wasn't the one who ruined you. It was Connor. After everything he's done to you, you still want to marry him? Do you really want to spend the rest of your life being tortured by that man?""No, no!" Hannah shook her head violently, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Samantha. "You're lying! You're just trying to drive a wedge between me and Connor. Don't think I don't see through you!"Samantha fell silent. There was no reasoning with her. This woman was lost.By now, Hannah had stepped in close, the blade of her knife pressing against Samantha's nec

Connor stood frozen, as though gravity had shifted within him, dragging his heart downward, deeper and deeper. A silent kind of pain filled him—dense, suffocating, impossible to name.Was there really no way back for them?Hannah's face had been ruined.She had gone to the hospital. The doctor had said it was too severe—no hope of restoration.Once, her life had been smooth-sailing. Now it was a wreck.And all of it, she believed, was because of Samantha.So she decided: she would kill Samantha.Once Samantha was truly gone, Connor would stop thinking about her. Then—then she would be Mrs. Parker.For several days, Hannah staked out Samantha's office building, studying Samantha's schedule, learning the rhythm of her comings and goings.One morning, she put on a stolen janitor's uniform and slipped inside the building, clutching a bundle of cleaning tools. Head down, gait slow. No one stopped her. She walked with steady intent straight toward Samantha's office.Samantha was re

[I'll love you forever. Will you come back to me?]Connor's antics were too loud, and within half a day, he had made it to the trending list.#Reystein City's Parker heir, Connor spends a fortune to confess# #Connor goes all in for love#Samantha finished her meeting and returned to her office, rubbing her sore shoulders. When she looked up, her eyes immediately landed on the drones outside, all flying in sync to deliver a message of love.Her mouth dropped open in shock.At the same time, her phone buzzed relentlessly with messages flooding in.[What's going on with you and Connor? He's confessing his love to you! So romantic.][Samantha, you're really not dead? I saw the news, it's all over.][Heard you're married. Congratulations!]Samantha sprang out of her chair, fury boiling in her chest, and quickly strode out of the office."Connor!"She called out to him.Connor, who had been slumped by the roadside, heard her voice and looked up, his face lighting up with excite

Samantha's face turned bright red.But Matt didn't hesitate. He swept her up by the waist and tossed her onto the soft, sprawling bed.Leaning over her, he whispered in her ear, "There's more that feels even better. Don't you want to try?"Samantha's mind was no longer capable of rational thought. She let herself be led by him, carried along into whatever came next.After a night of lingering warmth, Samantha woke up, her entire body sore and aching.Then, her eyes locked onto Matt lying next to her, and the shock was immediate—her pupils widened, and her whole body stiffened in a tremor.She propped herself up on her arms, and the events of the night before rushed into her mind like a tidal wave.Samantha's mind felt like it was about to explode.She had just slept with Matt on the first night of their marriage. No, more accurately, on the first night of their contractual marriage...Matt stirred awake, and immediately, his eyes met Samantha's, filled with the unmistakable su

The freshness of being married left Samantha feeling a bit lost and unsure of how to navigate the shift.Matt immediately headed to the underground warehouse. As he opened the door, the thick, sticky air—blended with something unspeakable—assaulted his senses.He instinctively pressed his hand over his nose.Connor was sitting on the floor, a kiss mark still visible on his neck, an obvious reminder of the chaos that had just unfolded."What are you here for?" Connor glared at Matt, his mind clearing up a little as the fog lifted."Let them go." Matt's eyes were filled with disgust."Where's Samantha? I want to see her! If you don't let me see her, I won't leave!" Connor stubbornly refused to back down.Matt curled his lips into a slight smile. His gaze swept over Hannah with a look of revulsion. His tone was laced with an underlying meaning as he spoke. "Is this really how you want to see Samantha? Are you sure you want her to witness this filthy scene?"Connor froze, momentari
Love Burned to Ashes Chapter 21
In the opulent, glittering ballroom, Samantha looked as ethereal as an angel as she walked step by step toward the tall, broad-shouldered Matt, her hand held gently by her uncle."I do," she said softly.On one knee, Matt carefully slid a ring—worth millions—onto Samantha's finger. Then he rose, slipped his arm around her slender waist, and pressed a kiss to her lips.In that moment, Samantha's heart skipped a beat.She looked into Matt's eyes, her mind swirling, her emotions a tangled knot.So this… was the wedding she had once dreamed of?She had once believed that she would only ever be with Connor. That he was the one.But now, she was married. And the groom wasn't him.Still, somehow, she felt happy.…Meanwhile, Connor and Hannah were locked inside a dim underground warehouse, surrounded by stacks of musty cardboard boxes. The air reeked of rot. Roaches scurried across the damp concrete floor. No sunlight reached this place, and the humidity hung heavy in the air."D
