Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1004

Chapter 1004

After arriving at the location before Fabian and the rest, Madeline watched the flames engulf the factory and understood what Jeremy meant by revenge.

She quickly ran through the metal doors to take a look at what was happening inside. Upon entering, she was met with Jeremy standing before the factory like an exquisite sculpture, rooted in place as he watched the flames feed aloofly.

Madeline felt her heart sink.

She quickly called the fire department and ran to stand in front of Jeremy.

It was then that the man realized Madeline had arrived. His dim eyes sparkled.

“What are you doing here, Linnie? Quick, leave.” Jeremy quickly pulled Madeline away, not wanting her to be scorched by straying flames.

Madeline slapped his hand away, her eyes filled with worry and concern.

“What do you think you’re doing? Have you any idea at all?”

“I know,” Jeremy replied curtly, the flames reflecting in his frosty eyes. “She deserves to die.”

“Yes, she deserves to die, but you don’t have to play the executioner!” Madeline panicked, wanting to run inside to look only for Jeremy to hold her back.

As she was struggling, Madeline’s eyes moistened from the heat or something else she did not know. “You must know where Lana and Naomi stand! You can still stop before it gets beyond that point, Jeremy!”

Jeremy’s hold on Madeline did not loosen. “They’re not worth your pity, Linnie.”

Madeline did not know how to explain to the man that she could not possibly pity Lana Johnson or Naomi Lionel.

“You’re not avenging my parents, Jeremy. You’re destroying your entire life! Stop!”

Yet, the man merely smiled by her ear. “My life turned dark the moment I lost you, Linnie.

“Once Lana dies, I’ll surrender myself. I’ll tell the police that I was the one who set fire to the Montgomery family, that I was the one who destroyed your home and killed my own parents-in-law.”
