Chapter 242: I Saved Your Life

Nancy’s bottom lip was trembling, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She looked up at Michelle. “What did I ever do to you?” she cried. “Why do you have to keep torturing us? Do you even have any conscience? And if you hurt my child, aren’t you afraid that Karma will come for you if you have any children?”

“Karma!” Michelle scoffed. “That bitch has already taken her pound of flesh from me, so I am not afraid of her anymore. After all, when my child was taken from me, I had done nothing to deserve it!”

For the first time, Nancy saw a c*ck in Michelle’s armor. There were tears in the other that she had been severely hurt in the past. She thought - This is probably the reason why she doesn’t like kids and why she abuses Clark. But who could have hurt her so badly? She did not think it was Paul. After all, he treated her like a princess.

Nancy sighed and said, “I can see that you have been hurt and that you thought that the love of another man might heal your heart, what gave you the right to step in and destroy my family?”

“Does it matter? You were not happy anyway. I gave you a way out. It would be best if you were thanking me, not interfering with my life. You have no business in this house, let alone the Master bedroom with Paul!”

“You are such a vicious woman.” Nancy smirked and said, “It is no wonder that man abandoned you. You deserved it. A cruel woman like yourself doesn’t deserve to have a child.”

“What?!?!”

“Are you deaf? I said, “A woman like you does not deserve to be a mother!”

When Michelle heard that, she began to go wild. She grabbed a fist full of Nancy’s hair and tried to slap her with her free hand. This time, though, Nancy was prepared. She grabbed Michelle’s hand and gave it a hard twist.

Michelle shrieked in pain and let go of Nancy’s hair.

As soon as Nancy was free, she grabbed Michelle’s hair with her free hand. She twisted it as she made a fist, and then she pushed her away as hard as she could. Michelle, still shrieking, fell on her ass, and it was a miracle that Clark did not wake up.

Michelle staggered to her feet and grabbed the lit candle that was sitting on the dresser. Beneath the candle, there was a tablecloth, and she grabbed that too.

Meanwhile, Crystal had just finished drying her hair, and as soon as she turned off the hairdryer, she heard what was going on between Nancy and Michelle. She barged into the bedroom, and Michelle was so startled that she tipped the candle, causing the hot wax to spill all over her thighs.

Michelle screamed as her body caught fire.

Nancy was scared. She watched as the tablecloth caught fire, but her mind had gone blank, and she did not know what to do. Fortunately, Crystal knew what to do. She ran into the bathroom, filled a pitcher with water, and dumped it over Michelle. It was her bathwater, and there was still foam floating on the surface. In retrospect, Crystal wished that she had poured scalding hot water on Michelle, but now it was too late - The fire was out.

Michelle sat, flustered, on the ground. Her nightgown was made from silk. Now there was a big burnt hole in it, and her wounded private parts could clearly be seen.

What a coquettish woman - thought Crystal - How can she walk around without wearing any underwear? I wonder what Eric would think if he saw her like this.

Michelle had choked on some of the water, and once she got her coughing under control, she wiped the water off her face. “Where did you get this water?” she asked. “It tastes like ass.”

It was my bathwater,” Crystal replied. “Aren’t you going to thank me for saving your life?”

Michelle was so disgusted that she vomited all over herself. Crystal began to laugh, and once Michelle was done being sick, she said, “What the fuck is so funny?”

“You are.” Crystal pointed to her head and said, “You burnt your hair!”

Michelle ran her fingers through her hair, and as she did this, her face turned white. There was a moment of silence, and then Crystal turned to Nancy and asked what was going on.

“She pounced on me,” Nancy explained, “But her plan backfired on her.”

“Your face is red and swollen. Did she slap you?”

Nancy nodded but said nothing.

Damn it! Thought Crystal - What a scheming bitch! She pretended to be generous and decent in front of Paul at dinner but intruded into Nancy’s room to beat her? She was furious. She pointed at Michelle and shouted, “What’s wrong with you? It’s past midnight. Why aren’t you sleeping? Are you asking for trouble? If so, I am warning you. If you dare bully Nancy and Clark again, you will get what is coming to you!”

Michelle glared at Crystal, and she was about to speak. Before she could, though, Crystal kicked her.

Michelle squealed and shied away from Crystal.

Crystal smirked. “What are you waiting for? Leave! Or do I need to drain my bathwater down your throat?”

Suddenly, Michelle jumped up. She grabbed the candle and sprang at Crystal. The candlestick was made of copper, and she brandished it menacingly over her head as she charged. Crystal was not caught off guard, though. She stepped aside, stuck her leg out, and tripped the other woman.

Michelle fell flat on her face, and when she tried to get up, Crystal pushed her back down with her foot.

“What is your problem?” asked Crystal. “I saved your life, but you want to kill me?”

Nancy grabbed Crystal’s arm and said, “Be careful. You are going to get us into trouble.”

“Why?” Crystal pressed down on Michelle’s back and said, “We have a right to defend ourselves.”

“I’m afraid that Paul might not see it that way...”

Just then, Clark sat up, rubbed his eyes, and called for his Mommy.

When Michelle heard his voice, she chuckled and said, “You had better let me go. The health of that boy rests on how you treat me from now on.”
