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

Lily arrived quickly. She kicked the door open, the sound echoing through the apartment. She rushed in, the sight that greeted her was an array of scattered clothes. Underwear, bras, pants, everything was strewn across the floor, each

piece hinting at the sordid scene that had transpired. Lily’s hand shook with rage,

especially when she saw John sprawled naked on the bed. She lost control, and the knife in her hand slashed down, hitting the bed frame.

The commotion woke John from his drunken stupor. He was still a bit confused, and he rubbed his eyes. Then, he froze, his eyes widening. He saw the kitchen knife in Lily’s hand, and his gaze followed the blade to her angry, doughy face.

His heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure. He was used to controlling Lily, and he was sure he could talk his way out of this. He reached for the sheet, pulled himself up, and his head cleared.

He looked at his naked body, the scattered clothes on the floor, and quickly understood that I had set him up. But he wasn’t worried. He believed that a few sweet words were all it would take to get Lily to believe him. To him, she was just a well-behaved, silent dog.

I watched the video on my phone and sneered. John, John, you’re a fool. It’s the silent dogs that bite the hardest.

Sure enough, Lily saw that he wasn’t saying anything, and she got even angrier. She brought the knife down, this time slashing it against John’s arm. The blade sank deep into his flesh, and blood erupted like a river.

Lily’s action caught John off guard. He quickly covered his wound, but the blood wouldn’t stop. He was afraid Lily would hack at him again, so he yelled a curse and kicked her.

Lily fell to the floor, and the knife flew out of her hand. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her mind was clearly slipping. She scrambled to her feet and bit down on John’s arm with all her might.

“John, you dare betray me, you sc**g!”

“You dumb broad, what are you talking about? Which one of your eyes saw me sleeping with someone else?!”

John was enraged. He grabbed Lily’s hair and started punching her in the face. Lily wouldn’t back down. They fought like rabid animals.

I checked my watch, calculating the time, and a smile spread across my face. The audience should be arriving soon.

Sure enough, a second later, the cops burst in with a whole crew, including reporters. Seeing Lily and John, half-dressed, this was a juicy story they couldn’t miss.

Click, click, click, the cameras flashed, even the underwear on the floor was captured with crystal clear detail. John had never encountered such a scene before, so he jumped on the bed, pulled the sheet over himself, trying to hide.

Lily’s parents were right behind them. They immediately pulled Lily aside. No matter how you looked at it, their daughter was at a disadvantage.

Lily’s father slapped her in the face. “I raised you for this? To be screwing around with other men? If you wanted to sell yourself, you should’ve said something earlier! Why did I waste my time sending you to school? I should have just sold you to someone in the village as a wife.”

Lily’s mother rushed over, her face streaked with tears and snot. She berated her daughter for being unfilial. “No wonder you never get any money. You’ve spent it all on man. You idiot!”

Lily’s parents continued to scold her, but she didn’t say a word. She was quietly scanning the room, her eyes finally locking onto the kitchen knife under the couch. I smirked. I knew the time was right. I put on my jacket, opened the door, and waited for the final act.

Lily grabbed the knife in a flash and bolted out the door. She ran straight towards me. I knew she wouldn’t let me go.

She was going to try to kill me today, because only then would she stay on the same path as before. If I lived, everything would change.

“Hannah, you’re the real culprit! I’m going to kill you today!” Lily swung the knife at me. I’d been waiting for this moment. The fact that she said this meant she was lucid at the moment, so I didn’t dodge. I wanted to make sure she was convicted of attempted murder. She was attacking me in front of the cops and all those people.

I wanted to see if she could escape justice this time.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
