As floodwaters rushed into the garage, I called my boyfriend. "Wade, help me... I'm trapped in here! The emergency exit's locked!" He sounded annoyed. "Tia, stop. Mandy's cat is stuck in a tree—we're handling it!" Then he hung up, taking the rescue team with him. My last hope was gone.

A Cat’s Life Over Mine Chapter 9
Hearing Mandy's confession made me shake. I hadn't realized Wade had talked about me like that to her. No wonder she'd looked at me with that strange contempt all those times.That day, she'd posed as Levi from property management, sent the message to lure me to the garage, and then locked the emergency exit. She'd only meant to scare me—but the water rose so fast, trapping me in minutes.Afraid of what she'd done but desperate to see Wade's reaction, Mandy had staged that ridiculous "cat stuck in a tree" stunt, calling Wade to come rescue her. It bought her half an hour—just enough time to make sure he'd arrive too late to save me.Now, with Wade's furious glare on her, Mandy only laughed. "Tia's death is on you too! You're the real killer here. If you'd cared enough to get to that garage faster, she'd still be alive. You're the one who pushed her to her death. If I were Tia, I'd never forgive you!"Wade's face crumbled. "No... that's not true. It can't be.""Oh, but it is!" Mand

Wade stormed into Mandy's apartment, and when she saw him, her face lit up. I was right behind him, seething. 'Mandy, I never did anything to you. Why would you do this to me?'I tried to rush at her, but as a spirit, I was useless. So much for those movie scenes where ghosts get payback.Wade didn't hesitate, pushing past her and ripping through her closet."Wade, what are you doing?" Her voice wobbled, alarmed."I'm looking for a helmet, a jacket, and work pants," he snapped.Her face went pale. "What are you even talking about? I don't own anything like that!""Oh, really?" he snarled. "Think you can keep lying to me? There were cameras in the stairwell. You killed Tia! Why?"Mandy kept denying it, her eyes filled with fake tears. "That's impossible! I would never hurt her. Are you insane? I'm just as devastated as you are, but blaming me? I can't believe you'd even think that."Wade's expression faltered. He looked like he was almost buying it.I shook my head, wanting to

"I'll find the proof myself!" Wade growled, fists clenched, while Mr. Jordan just looked resigned.The rescue team had already slapped Wade with a suspension and a disciplinary warning, but he was still dead set on getting to the truth. With me gone, no family, no friends left to stand up for me, Wade was all I had.Three days later, Wade got his hands on my phone. The second he saw the message from property management telling me to move my car, his fury exploded. He stormed back to the office, grabbed Mr. Jordan, and punched him hard."You killed her! She's dead because of you!" Wade's fists kept flying as Mr. Jordan yelled in pain.It took a whole crowd to pull them apart, and Mr. Jordan, face bruised, shouted back, "I'm pressing charges! I told you, we didn't send her down there! Are you out of your mind?"Then he sneered. "And you call yourself her boyfriend? When she needed you, you were off with another girl. Who are you to blame me?" He straightened up, still clutching his

Mandy clung to Wade's arm, her fingers practically glued to his, until he finally yanked his hand away. "Mandy, I can't think straight.""What's going on, Wade?""She's dead... The person who drowned in the parking garage... that was Tia."For a split second, Mandy's eyes flashed with something almost... happy. But she covered it up quick with a fake look of sympathy. "That's terrible. I mean, why would she even go down there? She had to know it was flooded."Wade let out a heavy sigh. "I warned everyone. Sent out alerts and everything, told people to stay home. Why couldn't she just listen?""Tia was always so... stubborn." Mandy gave him this little comforting smile. "It's okay, Wade. We'll plan her funeral. Make it, like, a proper farewell.""Thanks, Mandy," he said, like she was some saint. "You're so thoughtful. I mean, even after how she treated you—""I don't mind, Wade. As long as—"But then Wade's phone buzzed, and he answered. It was Connor, sounding all business."W

I watched from the side and shook my head. 'Oh, now you're sorry? Yeah, super helpful... if I weren't, you know, dead. Regret's nice and all, but it's not exactly a time machine. I hear you're handling my funeral—cool, just make me look my best, okay? Actually, scratch that. I don't have anyone left, but I still don't want you touching me. Thanks.'I took a deep breath, trying to drift away, but something kept me stuck there, like I wasn't done watching his mess unfold.Then Wade perked up, as if he'd had a revelation. "The phone! Her phone!"He scrambled to call Connor, only to learn the emergency exit had been locked, which apparently lit a fire under him. Off he went, on a sudden crusade to get "justice" for me. Too bad my phone had gone full Titanic in the flood and was useless.Connor helped him pull it out of the property office, and Wade rushed it over to a repair shop, waving around a wad of cash. "I don't care what it takes. Just recover whatever you can."The repair guy

My body was wheeled into the morgue after being cleaned up. Wade staggered in, showing his ID. When they pulled me out, he covered his mouth, tears welling in his eyes."Tia..."He reached like he was going to touch me, but froze, absolutely drowning in guilt.A staff member handed him a small box. "These are her things. Go through them if you'd like."Wade took it, and the second he saw my necklace, he just lost it, tears and all. Then Connor showed up, slapped a hand on his shoulder."Wade," he said, all dark and serious, "I'm not going to drag this out. She called you, said she was trapped. Where were you?"Wade just crumpled to his knees, sobbing like his world had shattered.Connor sighed, hard. "If I'd known she called you, I would've knocked some sense into you right then and there."Then he pointed right in Wade's face. "You don't deserve that uniform. You're suspended—effective immediately."The staff asked about my family, and Connor shook his head. "She was an orpha

But of course, Wade didn't notice a thing. Instead, Mandy scampered over from the sidelines, shivering. "Wade, you worked so hard," she cooed, pulling out a tissue to wipe the mud off his face."It's nothing. It's what we're here for."Mandy said, "I still don't know what that lady was thinking, going down to the garage in a storm.""Honestly, some people are just set on getting themselves in trouble," Wade muttered. "We did everything we could. She was the one—"Connor walked by and cut him off with a sharp glare. "Enough, Wade. You're a rescue worker; show some respect for the dead. I shouldn't have to remind you of that! And don't think you're getting off easy this time. I expect a full report at headquarters."Mandy jumped to Wade's defense. "But why punish him? He only showed up late because he was helping me!""It was a human life, Wade. We'll handle this back at the station. And you, Miss Beech"—he shot Mandy a cold stare—"next time, don't waste public resources. If your c

"Enough stalling! Team Three, move in! We have a missing person—female, twenty-four. Exact location unknown," Connor ordered, and the rescue workers geared up, heading into the garage.Mandy grabbed Wade's arm. "Wade, it's dangerous in there. Just let them handle it.""No way—I'm the team leader. Stay here, okay? Just wait for me."Connor stepped in, pulling Mandy aside. "Civilians stay behind the barrier—don't interfere with the rescue," he ordered firmly.Mandy huffed, stamping her foot as she moved back.I had to laugh. Mandy—only a fool like Wade would fall for your act. No one else would give you a second glance.I drifted along behind Wade as he stepped into the garage. The mud was up to his thighs, making it tough even for him to move. And here I was, buried somewhere, with no one even sure where to start looking.Turns out, the garage cameras had been out, so no one had seen me go in. Mr. Jordan and his team only realized I was in here because of the desperate message I'

The water rose fast in the garage. The emergency exit was locked, and my phone was down to its last few percent. I climbed onto the car roof.The phone switched itself off after he hung up, leaving me alone. Desperate, I screamed, "Somebody! Help me!"I waved like a maniac at the security camera, hoping someone would notice.No one did.The floodwaters kept rising, covering me until I was fully submerged.Panic and pain tore through me as I gripped my necklace, hanging on until everything went dark.When I opened my eyes, I was floating by the ceiling, watching. From somewhere outside, I heard a shout, "Is anyone there?""Miss Tayler!"Mr. Jordan, the property manager, waded in with a few others. At the emergency exit, he stopped cold."Who locked this door?" he asked."No idea. It's always open... and that's not even our lock!"I hovered above them, watching Mr. Jordan's face go pale. A chill washed over me.Someone wanted me dead."Find her！""Miss Tayler! ""Miss Tayl
