Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 674

“Wiona, please, save my daughter! I’m begging you, save her!” Bronwen’s voice shook as she pleaded. “This is all our fault… we’re her parents, we ruined her life. I know I made mistakes, but for the sake of the kindness I once showed you, please, just help her.”

Wiona moved to step forward, but Conrad quickly blocked her way, his grip firm. “What do you think you’re doing? This isn’t your place,” he said sharply. He turned to shout, “Nikolai, Drake, there’s a well in the courtyard. Get water and put out the fire, save whoever you can! But don’t forget, your own lives matter most.”

There was no time to wait for the fire department. If they didn’t act now, it would be too late. Nikolai and Drake had already soaked themselves with water from the well. The rest of Conrad’s bodyguards followed their lead, drenching their clothes before charging inside.

The first thing they did was get Louisa out. She was coughing and sobbing, but alive. When they rushed back in for Wilson and Bronwen, Wilson tried to break away, but Bronwen wouldn’t let him go.

“Get out!” Bronwen screamed at the rescuers. “We don’t want your help! Just get out!”

The fire and smoke were spreading fast, thick and suffocating. Buckets of water barely made a difference. Soon, the flames reached the doorway, making it impossible for Nikolai and the others to get back inside.

Louisa collapsed by the door, wailing, “Mom! Mom, please, come out! You said he wasn’t worth it, so why are you dying with him? This is all my fault. It’s all my fault…”

She had already used up the only fire extinguisher in the house. Now, all she could do was press herself against the floor, watching the flames with tears streaming down her face, powerless to do anything more.

Thankfully, Phil and his team arrived with hoses. They hooked them up and sprayed water through the windows, trying to beat back the fire. The flames started dying down, but the smoke just kept getting thicker. Even if Bronwen and Wilson didn’t burn to death, they’d probably suffocate soon.

Wiona called out, her voice loud and desperate, “Wilson owes me an explanation! I need to know what he did to my mother all those years ago! Bronwen, if you really feel you owe me, then let him go! There are girls outside waiting for justice, waiting for answers, waiting for Wilson to actually face punishment. He can’t die like this, do you hear me?”

Just then, neighbors rushed over with their own fire extinguishers. Everyone worked together, not caring about old grudges or who was who. Right now, all that mattered was stopping the fire. If they didn’t, the whole row of village houses would be lost.
