From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306

The tiny flame exploded into a blaze the instant it touched the fabric, fire racing across the room like a flood with nothing to stop it, devouring everything in its path.

Seeing this, Sofia suddenly realized what that smell was when she first walked in. It was the smell of gasoline hidden under aromatherapy.

“You lunatic,” she snapped. Sofia finally lost her composure, scrambling toward the door in a panic, desperate to escape.

But no matter how hard she tried, the door wouldn’t budge; it was like it had been welded to the wall.

“Help. Somebody, help me. Open the door, please.” Sofia frantically banged on the door, hoping the bodyguards outside would hear her and come to her rescue.

Xavier just stood there, his face full of scorn as he looked at her. “Quit screaming. It’s pointless. This door’s been specially rigged by me. I’m the only one who knows the code.

“Even if the guys outside realize something’s wrong and try to break in, by the time they get through, we’ll both be long gone-straight to hell.”

Sofia turned around in disbelief, and for the first time, she felt a surge of fear toward the son she had taken in halfway through her life.

“You don’t have to go this far. I can help you. I can give you everything back. Just let me go, and I’ll treat you like my son. Everything I have will be yours. Just let me go,” she pleaded.

Xavier just stood there, silently watching Sofia cry and beg, watching her debase herself as she tried to tempt him with promises.

Suddenly, he realized that the person he’d once seen as an insurmountable mountain was, in the end, nothing special at all.

Xavier let out a cold laugh, paid no more attention to Sofia’s struggles and curses, and with unwavering resolve, turned and walked straight into the flames.

Jackson, I’m coming to you to atone for what I did. Will you forgive me?’ Xavier wondered, ‘You’ve always had a soft spot for me. I know you’ll forgive me.

‘But someone like me only belongs in hell, while you’ll be living the good life up in heaven!

News of Xavier and Sofia perishing together in a fire dominated the headlines the very next morning.
