Chapter 3 " What are you burning ? " Raya stood in the doorway , her eyes cold as ice . Celia didn't even look up , calmly tossing another photo into the flames . " None of your business . " Raya clicked over in her heels , looming over her . " What's with the attitude ? Come on , Still think you're some kind of Fairborne princess ? " The firelight danced across Raya's perfectly made - up face , twisting her features into something ugly . " Let me spell it out for you , Celia - you're nobody now . Just a pathetic little punching bag . " Raya kicked the fire bowl over hard . CRASH ! Burning papers scattered everywhere , sparks catching on old curtains piled nearby . Flames shot up instantly . " You- ! " Celia lunged to smother the fire , but Raya shoved her back . The blaze spread fast , smoke filling the room in seconds . " Fire ! Someone help ! " The staff's panicked voices echoed from downstairs , but it was already too late to stop . Heat waves rolled over them . Celia choked on the thick smoke , her vision going hazy . She stumbled toward the door , but Raya grabbed her wrist . " Going somewhere ? " " Let go … " Celia struggled weakly . " We're gonna die in here … " Raya's smile was sickly sweet . " Then let's die together . " The door exploded open . Aurelian and Silas rushed in looking shaken , but the second they saw Raya , they visibly relaxed . " What the hell happened ? " Silas pulled Raya into his arms protectively . " How the hell did it catch fire ? " Raya's eyes filled with tears , pointing at Celia . " She completely lost it ! Started burning all of Mireya's things , and when I tried to stop her , she set the whole room on fire ! " " I didn't … " Celia shook her head weakly , but the smoke made it impossible to speak . Aurelian's expression went arctic . He stormed over and yanked Celia up by the wrist . " Seriously , Celia ? I thought you'd grown up . But three years later and you're still the same petty , vindictive bitch . " Celia tried to speak , but no words came out . Her vision was fading when she heard Silas's cold command : " Lock her in the oven . Maybe some time to think will straighten her out . " The bodyguards dragged Celia to the kitchen and shoved her into the preheated industrial oven . The moment they opened the door , scorching heat hit her like a wall . They forced her inside , and the burning metal seared her skin with a sickening sizzle . " АННННН ! " Her screams echoed through the kitchen as her skin felt like it was being stabbed by a thousand red - hot needles . Sweat barely had time to form 23:58 Killed Me for Your Precious Angel ? Now Pray She Can Save You from Hell 9.5 % Chapter 3 before it evaporated . She pounded frantically on the door , but no one outside cared . Her consciousness started slipping , and memories flashed before her eyes . Aurelian as a kid , holding her hand and promising he'd always protect her . Silas carrying her on his back for blocks when she had a fever . Her parents singing " Happy Birthday " with genuine smiles … Those moments had been real . Someone had loved her once . So when did they all fall in love with someone else instead ? The agony was beyond words , beyond screams . After what felt like forever , the oven door finally opened . Raya stood there with that same sweet smile . " Let's cool her down . " A bucket of ice water crashed over Celia's head . " AHHHH ! " The shock from burning hot to freezing cold sent her body into violent spasms . She curled up on the floor like a dying fish , and then everything went black . ♡ ( 0 )
