The Man Who Burned Me Alive in My Past Life Was Also Reborn Novel by Fitzgerald Mitchell

Lucas’s hands trembled as he clutched the DNA results, his voice breaking into a low growl.

“Nancy! You… you lied to me! All this time, Ciara wasn’t mine?!”

“You tricked me into this! You let me believe I was her father, and it was all a lie!”

Na‘s face went ghostly pale. She tried to explain, her voice shaking.

“Lucas, listen! It’s not what you think! Jacky forced me… I had no choice! You’re the only one I love. You have to believe me!”

But Lucas had had enough.

Blinded by rage, he jumped into his car and slammed his foot on the gas.

The tires screeched as he sped toward Nancy, who stood frozen in terror.

“Lucas, no! Stop!”

She barely had time to scream before the car hit her, sending her flying into the air and crashing down with a sickening thud.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Lucas, still consumed by fury, didn’t stop there. He reversed the car, then sped forward again, driving over Nancy’s body.

Her arms twitched grotesquely as her body bled out, but Lucas kept shouting, “Die! You b***h! You lied to me, and now you’ll pay for it!”

Even as Nancy’s broken form lay motionless beneath the car, Lucas kept screaming, slamming the car back and forth over her lifeless body.

I turned away from the gruesome sight, my face emotionless.

“Call the police,” I told the driver quietly.

That night, Lucas was arrested after trying to flee the scene.

The next morning, I signed the final divorce papers and left the city, never intending to return.

At the ate hospital, Cody had finally woken up, his soft voice calling for me.

As I held him in my arms, tears streamed down my face.

Cody, trying to comfort me, reached up to wipe my tears.

“Mom, who was that man? The one who yelled a lot?”

I smiled through my tears and glanced at Ryan.

“That was your uncle. And look, out in the hall, your grandparents are here, too.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Remember how you said you wished you had grandparents like the other kids? Well, you do! And they love you very, very much.”

Cody’s face lit up with a big smile.

“Really? That’s awesome! I’ll be a good boy so they’ll like me!”

My parents came in, along with Ryan, all of them reaching out to hold Cody’s hand.

“We’ll be waiting for you to get better!”

For the first time in this life, I felt the weight lift off my chest. I had saved Cody.

As for Lucas, his fate was sealed.

A few weeks later, I read about his trial in the criminal news.

After fleeing the scene, Lucas had gone to the hospital to find Jacky. In a fit of madness, he had bludgeoned him to death with a metal chair.

Jacky’s daughter, Ciara, had been in the same hospital, but Lucas couldn’t bring himself to harm her the end, after hours of wandering the hospital halls, he had jumped from a window to his death.

I closed the news article without a flicker of emotion.

From that moment on, Cody and I would start a new life together, surrounded by family and free from the ghosts of the past.
