Rebirth, Seduce My Ex-husband-Chapter 65: You Caused The Fire!

"At the guest house!" the maids revealed.

They revealed, taking everyone by surprise.

"T-the guest house? Isn’t that where Stacy is?" Catherine asked, her voice loud as the maids nodded.

"Yes, Ma’am."

"Have you all tried getting her out? Is she still in there?"

"Yes, Ma’am, we tried getting her out but the door is jammed. We don’t know why it’s locked," they stated as Rowen immediately stood up and made his way outside with George, who rushed in as soon as he heard about the fire.

Vanessa and the rest followed behind Rowen as they all went outside, and as the maids had said, there was really a fire... a huge one.

"Quick, Vanessa, call the fire fighters immediately," Catherine nodded as Vanessa passed that task on to Mariam, who nodded and did that immediately.

Turning to Vivian, Vanessa called all the maids to assemble, "Quick, you all should go and get buckets from the storage house... get as many buckets as you can and fill them all with sand... go, go, go!"

She instructed, and they all nodded.

Running back to her, Mariam said, "Vanessa, they said they will be here in 15 minutes."

"15 minutes? That’s too long, the entire house will burn down at this rate," Catherine said, panicking. "Oh no, my grandchild... this isn’t fair." She collapsed on the ground, crying like an absolute baby.

Just then, Rowen removed his jacket as he charged towards the guest house, whose front yard was already in flames.

Seeing him going towards the house, Vanessa’s face immediately turned pale as she shouted, "Rowen!? Where do you think you’re going!?"

Rowen didn’t stop. He tossed his jacket to the ground and kept running toward the fire.

"I have to save my child!" he shouted without turning back. "Stacy’s pregnant!"

Rowen reached the door and tried yanking it open, but it didn’t budge. He coughed hard, pulling his sleeve over his mouth, then stepped back and kicked it with all the strength he had.

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

The door finally gave way with a loud crash.

He disappeared inside.

"Rowen!" Vanessa screamed again, her heart racing like it was about to explode. She stood there, frozen, eyes locked on the doorway as the fire grew stronger.

Everyone was shouting now. Maids rushed back and forth with buckets of sand, tossing them at the edges of the flames, but it didn’t seem to be enough.

Seconds felt like hours.

Mariam and Kami held Vanessa’s hand tight, but Vanessa couldn’t even feel it. She was staring at the house, praying silently, tears slipping down her cheeks.

"Oh God, please... please bring them out..."

Just when it seemed like hope was lost, a figure emerged from the thick smoke.

Vanessa gasped out loud.

It was Rowen.

His shirt was half burned, covered in soot, his face blackened, eyes red from the smoke, but in his arms, he carried Stacy, unconscious, but breathing.

Cheers broke out. Catherine cried even louder now, but this time with relief, as her sister helped her up.

Vanessa ran forward, tears streaming down her face. She almost fell from how fast she was moving.

Rowen didn’t say anything. He just looked at her, then down at Stacy, before falling to his knees with her still in his arms.

Everyone rushed to them. Rowen placed Stacy on the ground as Vanessa rushed towards him, collapsing into his arms as she hugged him tightly, tears falling from her eyes.

"You! How dare you do that to me? Don’t you know how much I care about you?! You play with my heart like that again, and I promise I won’t let you go."

She said in between sobs as Rowen just hugged her back, his huge palm tracing down her back.

Soon, the fire fighters and ambulance arrived to check on Rowen and Stacy. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Stacy woke up some time later as she was being examined, while Rowen was being treated by Vanessa.

He had a small burn on his arm, so she applied some spirit and disinfectant on his wounds and then bandaged it.

"You are a good mother, an amazing mother, an awesome actress l, now you’re a doctor too? Am I lucky or what," Rowen teased to lighten up the mood, as Vanessa just smiled.

"You still know how to joke in situations like this?"

She said, as Rowen used his other hand to pat her head. "I’m sorry for putting you in such a state. I know things haven’t been going smoothly since I returned with Stacy... and I know you’re still angry about everything. I don’t blame you. Instead, I blame myself for being such an asshole..."

"But I promise you, Vanessa, I’ll never let you get hurt. I’ll always treat you well... always."

He said, as Vanessa just blinked without replying, not even knowing what to say at that moment.

Soon, the fire was conquered by the fire fighters, and Vanessa and everyone were informed that the fire was caused by the gas cylinder not being turned off.

The ambulance and fighters left, and everyone returned back inside, the family dinner already ruined due to the accident.

Collapsing on the couch was Rowen, as he groaned slightly, Vanessa helping to blow on his injuries, while Stacy was being taken care of by Catherine.

Just then, Stacy spoke, her words taking everyone by surprise.

"I know you don’t like me being here, Vanessa, but killing me is wrong. Even though you want me dead, at least consider my unborn child... no, Rowen’s unborn child."

She voiced out, her words taking the attention of everyone present as Vanessa frowned in confusion.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Vanessa asked, taken aback by Stacy’s words.

Scoffing, Stacy said, "Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. The fire! I know very well that you’re the one who instigated it."

Standing up, she pointed at Vanessa while holding onto her belly. "You tried to kill me and my unborn child, Vanessa."
