Jake’s face went white

What the hell happened? What kind of hotel 

is this? How could there be a fire?” 

He could see the smoke rising in the distance

and his face darkened

If anything happens to my sister, I’m going to 

burn this place to the ground.” 

Mom, hearing the news, nearly collapsed. She 

stumbled toward the fire

By the time they got there, the room was 

engulfed in flames, and the fire trucks were 

nowhere in sight

Jake grabbed the man I was supposed to 

marry, yelling

Where’s my sister? What happened to her?” 

Terrified, the guy spilled everything. He 

couldn’t hide his disgust for me

Who cares about that cripple? Her 

く 

wheelchair got burned, she couldn’t even 

escape. I wouldn’t have agreed to marry that 

monster, it’s a gift that she’s gone” 

Jake punched him in the face

You left my sister to die? If anything 

happens to her, I’ll make sure your family 

never works again.” 

The guy started to shake, and his legs started 

to leak, it was gross

Jake shoved him away and stared at the fire

his face hard, regret filling his eyes

He shouldn’t have left Cassie alone with that 

loser

She was his sister. He’d watched her grow up

They’d been together for almost twenty years

When she was little, he swore he’d always 

protect her

He couldn’t just stand by and watch her die

Jake took a step toward the fire, but Tiffany 

grabbed him

く 

Jake, what about me? What about our 

baby?” 

Jake froze

The flames were consuming the room

He gave up, hugging Tiffany

Tiffany, I’m so sorry, I let Cassie down.” 

Tiffany said, Jake, it’s better this way. It’s 

not your fault.” 

Mom looked up, and punched Tiffany in the 

face

It’s your fault! She wouldn’t have gone

through any of this it it wasn’t for you!” 

Mom started hitting Tiffany over and over 

again

Jake pulled Tiffany behind him

Mom, stop it! She’s pregnant

Mom looked at him, crying

I don’t care about my grandson! Give me 

back my daughter!” 

She hit Tiffany, crying

Give me back my daughter!” 

Tiffany had enough, and slapped Mom

Shut up! I’m not the one who killed her!” 

Mom stood still, tears streaming down her 

face. She pointed at Jake

Yes, I did, with you!” 

If we hadn’t told her roommates to bully her

if we hadn’t accused her of bullying, if we 

hadn’t sent her to marry that pig” 

Cassie was so kind. We hurt her so badly.

don’t deserve to be her mother, and you don’t 

deserve to be her brother.” 

Mom started crying, hitting her chest

Jake hugged her

Mom, it’s my fault. I made this happen.” 

The phone rang

His secretary sounded worried

Mr. Peterson, there’s been a change. You’ve 

been kicked out of the board.”
