Chapter 2
“You vicious woman! How could you be so cruel and try to kill Abigail?!”
“You were not at home–why did you go back into the fire? Do you realize you almost got Benjamin killed!!”
“I can’t believe I married such a heartless witch! If anything had happened to them, you would’ve been a murderer!”
I had barely escaped death, my mind still hazy from the terror, when his slap knocked me to the ground.
Behind Alexander, Abigail peeked out, her face half–hidden but her voice filled with mock pity.
“Eleanor, I know you hate me, but have you ever considered how many people you could’ve killed by doing this?”
Then she leaned weakly against Alexander’s shoulder, coughing violently.
Seeing the blood on her lips, Alexander turned around and viciously kicked me just as I was struggling to stand up.
“Why didn’t you just die in that fire?!”
“I should’ve dragged Benjamin out and left you to burn!”
He looked down at me from above, eyes blazing with pure hatred.
In his arms, Abigail’s face was plastered with smug satisfaction.
I didn’t even have the strength to argue with them anymore.
I could feel blood seeping from my body.
The pain was so intense that tears streamed down my face, and my smoke–damaged throat could only manage a few hoarse words;

“Doctor… Call a doctor…”
Seeing me in agony, Alexander let out a cruel laugh.
“A doctor?”
“Did you ever think, if they had died because of you, would they even have a chance to call
for a doctor?”
I stared at him, my eyes stinging with overwhelming grief.
Before Abigail appeared, he had been so excited about this baby’s arrival.
He had prepared the nursery well in advance and even chosen a name for the child- James Caldwell.
It’s my favorite name.
“Your wish is my command,” my husband said with a kiss to my forehead that night.
But now, seeing the blood continuously seeping from my body, he turned away and covered Abigail’s eyes.
“That’s disgusting. Don’t let it scare you.”
The next time I opened my eyes, I had been moved to a different hospital room.
When the nurse saw I was awake, she tossed the medicine bottle into the trash with a loud clatter, her voice full of disdain.
“Well, aren’t you lucky to still be alive?”
“After hurting so many people, you only lost a child. Guess your luck’s not too bad.”
My throat felt like it was on fire, leaving me completely unable to speak. All I could do was endure the harsh ridicule.
Seeing me like this, the nurse stormed out the door and shouted to the people outside.
“The suspect is awake/Hurry up and take her away before she taints this hospital.”

Chapter 21
“Dare to harm a martyr’s child? You’re cursed. How did the fire not kill you?”
Two officers rushed in, grabbing me without hesitation. Soon, I was brought to face
Alexander.
Separated by a cold metal table, his expression was darker than ever, and his voice was cold and accusing.
“Eleanor, you heartless snake. Attempted murder.”
“Considering you were pregnant, I can request a reduced sentence for you, but you are
definitely going to prison!”
He turned his head away stiffly, as if saying one more word to me would stain his pure, righteous image.
I opened my mouth to defend myself, but my throat was so damaged all I could do was cough violently.
At that moment, Abigail burst in, crying pitifully as she threw herself into Alexander’s arms.
“Alexander, I had another nightmare just now.”
“I dreamed of being burned alive in the fire. I’m so scared…”
The momentary softness in Alexander’s expression hardened again, his face turning dark.
“Eleanor, I really don’t understand what Abigail could’ve done to deserve your hatred.”
“Why can’t you stand her? Why do you keep trying to hurt her over and over again?”
“Her father died heroically during a rescue mission. And yet, you–how could you-”
He couldn’t even finish his sentence, his fists clenched and slamming heavily onto the table.
I grabbed the glass of water on the table and gulped down several sips before I could finally force out some words.

Chapter 2
“I didn’t start the fire. It was Abigail.”
“The one who should be going to prison isn’t me. It’s her, the real criminal. And you, for leaving your wife and child in fire!“.”
Alexander slammed the table again, shooting to his feet.
He leaned forward, his gaze drilling into my eyes with pure rage.
“Abigail is pure and kind! How dare you slander her like that!!?”
“She already explained everything to me. It was you, you vicious woman! You started the fire just because of a petty argument!”
Right on cue, Abigail started sobbing again.
“Alexander, she’s trying to frame me again.”
“I’m so scared. All I wanted was to be like a sister and stay by your side. Is that too much to ask, Eleanor? Must you truly take my life to be satisfied?”
As she spoke, she stumbled forward and started shaking my arm relentlessly.
Disgusted, I jerked my arm away, and Abigail let out a dramatic scream as she fell
backward.
