After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Lucas looked at Aveline. "Can you run?"

"I can." Aveline nodded.

Lucas tightened his grip on her hand and glanced up at the precarious beams above. His eyes filled with cold determination as he commanded, "Run!" They sprinted towards the exit together!

Suddenly, the sound of wood splintering echoed above them.

Aveline's heart clenched, but before she could react, Lucas shoved her forward forcefully.

"Crash!"

The sound of something heavy collapsing followed, momentarily smothering the flames.

Aveline's face turned pale as she spun around, only to see Lucas trapped beneath a fallen beam!

The fire had already started to consume him.
