Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 733

The hospital.

Emmy shot up in bed, heart pounding, dragged out of a nightmare.

She must have spent too long before bed trying to remember what she’d forgotten, because her dreams took her right back to her past life. Back to the night of the Sullivan family fire.

It happened in the dead of night. The flames swallowed Abriella’s parents first, then left their beautiful home nothing but a blackened skeleton. When Emmy arrived, all she saw was Abriella, kneeling outside the rubble, crying like the world had ended.

Emmy stared up at the ceiling, gasping for air, that same terrible worry squeezing her chest.

“Abriella!” she called out before she even realized it.

Lorraine, who had been watching over her, hurried to her side. She helped Emmy sit up, her hands gentle, and offered a glass of warm water.

“Did you have a bad dream, ma’am?”

Emmy didn’t even look at the water. “Where’s Abriella? Is she here?”

Lorraine answered softly, “Ms. Sullivan left with her husband about two hours ago.”

Emmy glanced out the window at the thick night. “What time is it?”

“It’s already ten, ma’am.”

Ten o’clock…

That was the time the fire started, in her last life.

She scrambled for her phone.

Lorraine, quick as ever, placed it in her hand.

Emmy forced herself to calm down, then dialed Abriella’s number.

“Emmy? You’re awake?” Abriella’s voice was light and cheerful on the other end.

“Abriella, where are you right now?”

“I just got home with Will. What’s up?”

“Something’s wrong. I think your parents are in danger. You need to get over there, right now!”

…

Meanwhile.

Abriella had just kicked off her heels at the door when her phone rang. She froze as she listened. When she hung up, she turned to Will, who was slipping on his house shoes.

“Don’t change your shoes.”

Will jumped out and rushed to the butler, grabbing his shoulders. “Which room are they in?”

“The second floor. The master bedroom.”

Will didn’t hesitate. He ran straight into the burning house.

“Will!”

Abriella screamed. She tried to follow, but the butler grabbed her and held her back.

“Miss, the fire’s too much. You can’t go in.”

Abriella fought to break free, her hands shaking. “How did this even happen? How did the fire get so big so fast?”

The butler was crying, struggling to breathe. “I think it was the gas in the kitchen. There was an explosion. The fire just shot up everywhere…”

“Your parents were in a good mood tonight. The eldest daughter was having a drink with them, and everyone was happy, so they told the staff to go home early…”

“The eldest daughter said she had to head out, so I was the only one left. By the time I smelled smoke, the stairs were already blocked by flames. I tried to run up, but I couldn’t. I had to get out and call for help.”

Abriella stared at the fire, watching it devour everything in its path, her heart slamming against her ribs.

Just then, a strange buzzing noise started to get louder, closing in on them.
