Chapter 329: Caught Up
The acrid smell of smoke filled the air, and the distant sirens only added to the cacophony of chaos that surrounded her.
Thick plumes of smoke billowed from shattered windows, masking the once-familiar structure in a shroud of darkness. Flames danced hungrily, devouring everything they touched. The world seemed to slow down as Viviana’s eyes locked onto the building’s charred facade, her heart pounding loudly in her ears.
As time stretched on, the smoke grew thicker, making it impossible to see the building clearly. The flames continued to ravage the structure, making it appear as if her worst nightmares had come to life.
This is the third time she’s witnessing a fire. And this time, it’s her husband in the fire.
A lump formed in Viviana’s throat as she clung to the hope that somehow, Leander had escaped the inferno. The smoke rose above spreading the dreadful smell around. She looked closely to see if anyone was getting out of the house.
In the chaotic time, Helena broke into laughter. "Hell on earth!" she cackled. "God punished him for breaking his promise to me by taking another woman to his house!"
God? Did God punish Leander?
"I told you, didn’t I?" Helena grabbed Viviana’s hair. "You will never be happy. Look! He’s dead!" She cackled like an evil witch.
Viviana broke down. Her chest hurt and the dreaded feeling of losing her legs came back. She fell to the ground on her knees.
There it is...fire...once again when she thought she was happy with her life...
Martha saw Viviana’s state and rushed to her. Helena saw the baby in the car and picked her up. Martha screamed at Helena to stop. She didn’t know who to help first and made a split-second decision to get the baby from Helena before she escaped.
Luca jumped the wall and got inside.
