MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Sunny was at the Joseph Residence when she heard what was happening with Fred and Mandy. She knew that Joshua and Hazel would be on their way to see her.

Before leaving to confront Sunny, Joshua had ordered his men to take Fred and Mandy directly to the police station and have them held. He would make sure to deal with them later. First, he needed to deal with Sunny.

As they got closer to Joseph Residence, they could see smoke and flames over the tops of the house.

"What is going on? What's happening?" Hazel asked in a panic. She was banging against the car window, and they pulled in front of the house. There was a fire raging that she knew was too big to be put out easily.

Hazel jumped out of the car and saw a shadow in a window on the second floor. She squinted, through the smoke, she could see that it was Sunny standing in the bedroom that belonged to her and Cate.

"Sunny!" The rushing hatred Hazel had felt left, and her emotions took over as she rushed toward the house to save Sunny.

Joshua grabbed her and said, "Hazel, you can't be impulsive. The fire is too big and too dangerous for you to save her."

Hazel was not only struggling to break out of Joshua's arms, but she was struggling with her emotions. Sunny was the woman who had kidnapped and tried to kill her and even killed her parents, but how could she just stand there watching her burn to death.

"You won," Sunny said while she looked at Hazel. Her eyes were cold as if she was already dead, "Hazel, you are a really good person, but it doesn't matter anymore. I am going to see my parents and my sister."

"You can't just die! Why do you get to die and not be punished?" The anger almost sprang out of Hazel's eyes. She continued to scream, "You have done so many evil things. You killed my parents! Do you really think that my grandparents and my mother will want to see you?"

Sunny's body trembled as she screamed. "They will want to see me! They will! My sister was always kind to me!"

"No! They were good people who went to Heaven! But you are destined to go to Hell!"

"It's not like that, it's not like that.." Sunny was flustered. Suddenly, she glared at Hazel. "It was all your fault! I blame your father and you! If both of you weren't born, I would still have a happy family. You were the one who broke it up! And, you Hazel should be dead. Why are you still alive?"

She continued to glare at Hazel, "You even wanted to take away my house. No matter who wants Joseph's Residence, I will kill them before they get it. It is all mine! It belonged to my parents and my sister. I will die in this house!" Sunny said calmly as she closed the window. 

"Sunny! Sunny!" Hazel's heart was full of conflict. It was obvious that Sunny was an evil enemy of her family, but now there was no way to punish her, and they would have to watch her burn to death.

"Hazel, calm down!" Joshua held her tightly to prevent her from rushing into the burning house.

The fire continued to get bigger, but Sunny made no attempts to escape. Through the window, Hazel could see the flames in the room and hear Sunny's laughter.

"Hahaha, I am the only one who can save myself!" The laughing turned into painful screams.

Joshua was worried about what the situation would do to Hazel, so he decided to hit her over the head and then held her unconscious body in his arms.

While Hazel was unconscious, the firemen and police had arrived. However, they were having difficulty putting the fire out, so when she woke up in the backseat of the car, she could still see the flames and smoke.

She sat up, looking out the window, and rubbed her neck.

"You are awake?" Joshua whispered.

"Yes..." For a moment, she had forgotten what had happened, but suddenly everything rushed back. She quickly asked, "Has she been rescued?"

"No." Joshua shook his head slightly. "However, they did rescue Susan."

"Susan?" Hazel was confused. "She was in there too? Sunny was really cruel. She actually wanted her daughter to die with her."

"She has never been a kind person." A glimmer of light flashed in Joshua's eyes. The next moment, he whispered, "Hazel, whether or not she was saved, this is what she deserved."

"I know..." Hazel sighed helplessly. "I just didn't want her to die so easily."

After finding out about her true enemy, Hazel wanted revenge, but with Sunny gone, there was no way.

"Don't be upset," Joshua advised. "You have already avenged your parents. In the end, this is really what she deserved."

"Was she..." Hazel bit her lip slightly. "planning to do this?" She thought that it must have been planned because there was no way for a fire to destroy such a large house that quickly.

"Maybe," Joshua whispered. "In fact, I think she hasn't been happy for years. This time I don't think it matters if she won or lost, she didn't want to continue living."

Joshua's thoughts were exactly what Sunny was thinking. In her last moments, Sunny realized that she never dared to look Hazel in the eyes because they were the same as Cate's, they made her feel guilty and jealous. Those eyes took over her thoughts, they caused her to act crazy and become obsessed with wanting to kill Hazel.

Sunny also knew that if this attempt on Hazel's life failed, then Joshua and Hazel would certainly not let her go. On the other hand, if she had succeeded in killing Hazel, the only eyes that reminded her of her loving sister would be gone, she wouldn't have any motivation to carry on. 

"Can we please go home?" Hazel asked and leaned gently on Joshua's chest. She didn't want to stay there any longer than she needed to.

"That is a good idea," Joshua whispered.
