I Saved Him from the Fire, and He Pushed Me to the Edge

Chapter 1

When I was seventeen, I rushed into a burning building to save Leo.

A falling beam hit my head, and from that day on, I became simple-minded.

To save money for my rehabilitation, he dropped out of school and took on all sorts of dirty, back-breaking jobs.

Ten years later, Leo became the youngest entrepreneur in the city.

And I was still the idiot who needed her shoes tied and her meals spoon-fed.

Later, Leo started coming home later and later, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust when he looked at me.

Until that day, I accidentally broke the music box his assistant gave him.

For the first time, he lost his temper with me. He dragged me to the rooftop.

And ordered me to jump from the fifty-story building.

I didn't understand why he wanted me to do that. I just knew that being a good girl earned me rewards.

I’d been afraid of heights since I was little, but now, I was even more terrified of him leaving me.

I smiled, taking a step back:

"Leo, please don't be mad. I'll listen to whatever you say."
