Tears, Lies, And A Heart Of Fire นิยาย & เรื่องราว

He quickly gets up, pours fuel on the car, then lights a match. Flames quickly spread through the car and it feels like the old me is being burned to ashes. “Get down,” the new driver orders just as our car takes off. The car is swallowed up by the fire and seconds later, there's a boom as it explodes loudly and illuminates the night. I try to hold in but the tears run down my face. I lean back against the seat and cry. My sobs are coming from my broken heart. The driver looks at me through the rearview, “It was necessary. You'll be a ghost by morning. No body, just evidence.”

I was starting to lose patience. Smack! Another slap, this one burning across my face. She shouted, her voice trembling with fury, "If you say that again, I swear I'll strangle you!" She was really angry now. It wasn't an act. Her face was flushed with rage, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. I stared at her, dumbfounded. Had the crash mess up my brain? Was I losing my mind, spouting nonsense? I said, "Look, we didn't even know each other before. Colin made us sign the contract so that it'd be easier for him to fool around with you, remember? That was why he let us get married. Hold on, just let me finish!"

I really hope my Raya doesn't fall for his lies. My heart aches. My blood is fire. But I will wait. Even if it kills me.

It didn't feel like my skin. Some parts were numb. Others burned. I tried to smile. I couldn't. One side of my lips barely moved. Tears blurred my vision. I wasn't looking at Reine anymore. I was looking at a disfigured stranger. A girl who had paid the price of loving the wrong man. Of trusting the wrong sister. As the last tear slid down my cheek and I closed my eyes again, water splattered onto my lap. My eyes shot open, wide. What...?

I demanded. At my question, tears quickly filled her eyes. "I-I'm sorry, Daniella… I promise I didn't mean to do it on purpose… "I was just scared. I didn't want Mom and Dad to scold me for being disobedient… That's why I… I threw you under the bus…" Even though I could see right through her lie, I felt utterly helpless. Every time her inner voice surfaced, it seemed to be deliberately pushing me into trouble. Heidi had to be doing it on purpose. There was no other explanation.

Once finished in the bathroom, she hit the hay. Fire, not by fire. The flames licked at her skin as she screamed over and over again. Thankful that her hair had been shaved. She looked into the large mob of people and saw many smiling faces. A few she thought seemed sad with tears running down their faces. A scan of them showed he wasn’t there. The first cracks in her heart showed, making tears slid down her face. They didn’t make it too far for the fire was making them evaporate. Sorrow washed over her at the thought of the man she loved leaving her to die this way.

She did not expect him to stupid enough to use the same proposal. Maeve turned away from her, walking towards her table. She slumped into the chair and covered her face with her palm. She was breathing heavily, her entire body trembling with rage and a little bit of sadness. She could feel the tears prickling at the back of her eyes. “We are going to lose this project,” she said, her voice quieter and resigned. “We will lose it and everybody will be right about me. They already think I don’t have half a brain in my head anyway and they’ll be right.”

My eyes felt like they were being eaten by ants, the pain was excruciating. Curled up in despair, I could hear Jack outside, gently coaxing Joanna in his arms. Cameron chimed in too, cheering, “Mom, did you see how she looked just now? So funny.” Outside, they turned my suffering into a joke to amuse Joanna. And inside, I endured wave after wave of pain. Until my vision blurred and I could barely stay conscious, I smelled the harsh stench of gasoline. The next second, flames roared to life. The fire consumed me mercilessly, my eyes burning and stinging as I rolled on the ground, screaming in agony.

“They lied to you. They’ll throw you away once you’ve burned out. Only I will give you purpose.” Rose’s face crumpled. Her hands rose in the air, fire gathering in her palms. “No!” Elena cried, stepping forward. “Rose, listen to me! He doesn’t love you. He doesn’t even see you. But I do. Sophie would never leave you—and neither will I.” The fire wavered. Monroe snarled, shoving his hand into Rose’s back, forcing the energy to build. “End them!” Rose screamed as the fireball exploded in size, burning too bright, and the light blinding to look at.

Silent tears rolled down my face. Why? Why couldn't I just have a normal family and a happy life? I never wanted to hurt anyone. I never even got involved with the things they did. But maybe I wasn't innocent either. The money that was used to raise me was dirty, stained with blood and tears. No matter how much I tried to deny it, I couldn't escape payback forever. I just never thought the price would be my own family trying to kill me. When Neil saw me crying, his whole face darkened with fury.
