Chapter 3 A New Choice Everyone's gaze followed Clara's finger- On the massive screen mounted on the living room wall , a financial news broadcast was playing . At the center of the frame was a young man speaking at some tech summit . He stood tall and straight in a perfectly tailored dark designer suit . His features were striking - sharp jawline , high - bridged nose , and deep - set eyes that looked calm and piercing even through the screen . The limited edition watch casually visible on his wrist was worth enough to buy an entire building . The news headline hung prominently beside him : " World's Youngest Hundred - Billion - Dollar Heir - Logan Summers Announces Major AI Investment Initiative . " The anchor's voiceover was full of praise : " ... The sole heir of the Summers family empire . At only twenty - two , he already controls a massive business conglomerate . His investment instincts are razor - sharp and famously accurate - he's been dubbed ' The Midas Touch . ' Logan Summers is also this year's number one on the Global Most Eligible Bachelor list ... " On screen , he was calmly fielding questions from reporters with sharp , powerful answers . Camera flashes went off like crazy below the stage . The living room fell into a weird , suffocating silence . Father raised an eyebrow in disbelief , then let out a short , sharp scoff - like he'd just heard the world's funniest joke . " Logan Summers ? Clara , did you not sleep last night , or have you been reading too many romance novels ? You think the Summers family is someone we can reach ? " He shook his head like he pitied her delusion . " Drop the fantasies and be realistic . " The moment Clara said those words , Julian's brow furrowed - just barely noticeable . Those eyes , usually hidden beneath pale gold hair , flickered with quick , sharp surprise and confusión . Clara knew he had to be shocked . After all , in her past life , she'd fallen for him at first sight and never once considered marrying anyone else . In her past life , just to marry Julian after he became the heir , Clara endured the Carter family's outrageous demands - even agreeing to bear Julian's child first before officially joining the family . But despite all her test results being normal , she could never get pregnant with his baby . Natural conception , IVF - everything failed . Once , she finally got pregnant , only to miscarry within three months after an accident . Even after all that , Clara had never once mentioned wanting to marry anyone else . A shadow passed through Julian's eyes . At that moment , Bianca let out a soft little gasp , her pale fingers flying up to cover her mouth . " Clara ist that idea a hurle a little too far fetched ? Someone like Mr. Summers - we'd never even get to meet him normally... And besides , Kenneth and Julian are right here Saying something like that ... doesn't it hurt their feelings ? " Sure enough , after she said that , both Carter brothers looked at her with soft , gentle eyes . Seeing that no one was taking her seriously , Clara just shrugged . She hadn't expected much of a reaction anyway . The engagement wasn't finalized today - it still needed to be discussed with the Carter family . 11:56 My Husband Left Me to Burn ? | Married a Billionaire Firefighter ! 1.0 % Chapter 3 A New Choice That evening , the Carter brothers stayed overnight at the estate . Clara returned to her bedroom . Replaying the day's events in her mind , exhaustion washed over her like a tide . Before she knew it , she'd drifted off to sleep . She didn't know how much time had passed when thick smoke flooded her nose and choked her awake . " Cough ... cough cough cough ... " Clara's eyes flew open . The acrid smoke made her cough violently . " Fire ! Run ! " " Help ... " Panicked shouts filled her ears . Clara shoved open her bedroom door - and a wave of scorching heat slammed into her . Thick black smoke churned and rolled , reeking of burnt plastic and fabric . It was rapidly devouring the beautiful ceiling murals above the living room . The chandelier's glow twisted and turned sickly yellow through the haze . Suddenly , Clara's eyes landed on a familiar figure slumped on the couch in the hall . Passed out drunk . It was Bianca ! Clara's breath caught . This scene - it overlapped exactly with what happened before her rebirth . Almost identical ! The fire happened early . How is this possible ?! The flames were spreading fast . She tried to move toward the door , but her ankle - still injured from a few days ago - sent a sharp , piercing pain shooting through her leg the moment she stepped . " BANG- ! " A deafening crash . The door was kicked open violently from the outside . Through the thick smoke , a tall , broad - shouldered figure stormed in . (0 ) (0 ) My Husband Left Me to Burn ?
