My boyfriend is a forensic doctor. I've been abducted and tied to a bomb—there's only ten minutes to detonation. The abductors force me to call my boyfriend, but all I get is a scolding. "What the hell do you want, Michelle? What are you playing at, using your life as an excuse just because you're jealous? "Vi's cat has already been stuck in a tree for three days. She loves it like it's her life! If you delay me from saving it, you'll be a murderer!" I hear a coquettish voice ring out on the other end of the line. "Thank you for this, Kev. You're amazing!" I recognize that voice—it belongs to my boyfriend's childhood friend. I text my boyfriend when the bomb is about to explode. "Farewell forever. I pray we won't meet each other again in another life."
View MoreWhen my grandmother heard the news of my death, she passed away that very same day.'Grandma, you've held on for so long. Are you finally reaching your limit? Leaving this world probably isn't as painful, right? At least you didn't suffer like my parents and I did. I wonder if we'll ever meet again?' I mused sadly.My parents perished in the flames, and I was frozen to death. Would I ever get a chance to be their daughter again in the next life? And as for Sam... I supposed I would never see him again.When Sam learned about my grandmother's death from prison, he arranged for a grand funeral in her honor. At least my grandmother left with some dignity. Yet, no one seemed to realize that if it weren't for the fire, she would have remained the largest shareholder of Sawyer Group. She would have had an honorable departure, just as she deserved.If it weren't for that fire, I would have been the beloved heiress of the Sawyer Family, surrounded by love and happiness....When Nancy was arr
I wanted to explain everything, to tell her that it wasn't just a preservation mode but the freezing mode. Nancy had secretly tempered with the settings, but even until the moment she left, I couldn't manage to form a complete sentence. It was too cold here, and I was gagged. All the words I wanted to say stayed trapped in my throat.I glanced at Sam, who looked mentally unstable, and found it almost funny in a twisted way.'Sam, I've given you back my life. What else are you dissatisfied with?' I mused.He had received two emails. One was the lab report for the pregnancy test he had sent in. The results confirmed it was my DNA on the test. He let out a bitter laugh before picking up the second report. Then it hit me. This was the investigation I had ordered back when Nancy first showed up in our lives. I never expected that the report would only be delivered after my death.The contents revealed Nancy's affair with Tom. They had conspired together, plotting to swindle money from Sa
He came down to the basement again. There were still traces of my blood in the basement. He lay there, eyes fixed on the intercom, lost in thought.'Sam, are you remembering what you said to me in my final moments? You told me I should understand the pain your beloved Nancy was going through, that I deserved a fate worse than death, that I should live a life lower than animals. But Sam, she only had a cold. I died, and you killed me with your own hands,' I thought bitterly. Suddenly, Sam sat up, his gaze hard and indifferent once more. "Katerina, this is all your fault. Why did you have to be so stupid and turn off the water heater?"'I'm not an idiot. I know you despise me, Sam. Why would I ever do something to provoke you on purpose?' I retorted inwardly.…That day, I was in the bathroom, nervously waiting for the pregnancy test results. I was hoping to surprise him with the news. How did things turn out like this?All I could recall was waiting for the test to end while standing
At that moment, a memory of that smell surfaced. The thought of it made me gag involuntarily. It was far worse than the stench of my own dismembered limbs lying there now.I thought of my grandmother again. 'Has she already used up most of the 500 thousand? Will Sam continue to give her money? Will she be heartbroken upon knowing I'm dead?'My mind was a storm of chaos....Meanwhile, Sam went to the hospital in a haze at Tom Zachary's advice. When he arrived, Tom's expression was grave."Nancy's baby... We couldn't save it," he said.Sam stared at him blankly as if the words had no meaning.Tom's brow furrowed. "Sam, are you still a man? Nancy had a miscarriage, and you're still mourning another woman?"Sam froze for a moment and stared blankly at Nancy. At that moment, she was lying weakly on the hospital bed, and her face was drained of color."Sam, you're here. Don't worry. We'll have more children in the future," she said.She leaned in to wrap her arms around his neck and said t
Sam had an alibi, so he was temporarily released. However, to everyone's surprise, he refused to leave.He stood at the door and pounded against it relentlessly. "I need to report a missing person! My wife has run away from home! I can't find her!" On the other side of the door, a piercing gaze fixed on him. "Do you love your wife?" He froze, then mumbled to himself, "I... I love her. Of course, I love her. I've loved her for ten years now..." Yes, that was right. I almost forgot that he had chosen to marry me of his own accord all those years ago. How could he not love me? Yet, it was also he who sealed me inside that freezer, all for the sake of another woman. How could he possibly love me? Our love began ten years ago and ended ten years ago. Back then, I was a shy young girl who blushed at the mere sight of his gaze lingering on me. He was also a boy whose eyes sparkled only for me, who blushed when he proposed. When I agreed to marry him, he was so happy he couldn't stop
"The victim's name is Katerina Sawyer. She's your wife, right?" the man asked again.So, Sam was finally going to find out I was dead? I almost felt a sense of anticipation.Hearing this, Sam sneered, and his eyes once again flared with anger."Katerina, you've really outdone yourself this time, haven't you? Now you're making scam calls? While I still have an ounce of patience left, get back here and apologize to Nancy. Don't push me to divorce you!" Saying that, he angrily slammed the phone onto the floor and stomped on its screen.At that moment, Nancy clutched her stomach and groaned, "Honey, honey... My stomach hurts..."I stood off to the side, crossed my arms, and smirked.That pregnancy test she used was mine, and I was the one who was pregnant. She wasn't, so why was she acting like she had a stomach ache?She was just stalling, trying to keep Sam from finding out the truth because she clearly knew I was dead."Hurry, call Dr. Zachary! The baby… the baby…" she wailed.Dr. Zacha
Sam's angry voice rang out, followed closely by Nancy's soft, soothing murmurs trying to calm him down.'Sam, have you completely forgotten I'm stuck in the freezer? You wouldn't even bother opening it to check, would you?' I sadly thought to myself.As if to confirm my suspicions, he suddenly spoke again. "It's probably Katerina throwing another tantrum and deliberately stuffing the freezer with spoiled meat. Don't worry. I won't hold you guys responsible this time."Just clean out the freezer and bring up some soup. I need to make sure Nancy is well taken care of."Then, almost as an afterthought, he added, "Someone from the first floor, if you're not busy, go and locate Katerina. Make sure she isn't causing trouble outside again. She's been throwing tantrums for long enough."I stared at the intercom broadcasting his voice, and for a moment, I felt the urge to smash it into pieces. 'Sam, if your brain is useless, why not donate it? What makes you so certain that I can escape by mys
My eyes were bloodshot as I shook my head and repeatedly slammed my elbows against the freezer door over and over, desperate to break free on my own.Above me, Sam's expression darkened with fury. He loomed over the freezer where I was trapped and looked down at me with disdain. "Then stay in there until you know what you've done wrong. Don't call for me until you've learned your lesson."Beside him, Nancy stood with a small, satisfied smile playing on her lips, though her voice trembled with false innocence. "Sam, I'm afraid… What if she tries to hurt me again tonight? Maybe I shouldn't stay here. I'll just go back home."Sam glanced at her with visible concern. He called for his men, and soon, two heavy iron chains were brought in to secure the freezer. They seemed to be guarding against an extremely ferocious beast."Even if she dies in there tonight, she won't get out," he reassured Nancy. "You'll be safe. Sleep here, and tomorrow, after you leave, I'll let her out. Alright?"That
Nancy was clearly displeased. She acted like a spoiled child and began to whine for Sam to buy her new ones.With a helpless smile, Sam reached out and gently patted her head. "Alright, alright, I'll buy you all new ones! How could I say no to my favorite little darling?"Immediately, her mood shifted. Her eyes lit up, and she eagerly dashed into my room to smash all my belongings."I've hated these things for so long! Smash them all! I want everything replaced with new ones!"I trailed behind them, struggling to keep up. Perhaps my body had been frozen for too long, and the calcium in my bones had been lost. I was sore all over, and my bones scattered all over the floor with every step I took.At first, I panicked whenever I felt my bones scattering behind me. I would turn around, frantically trying to gather them up, only to remember I had been dead for a long time. What was the point of picking up the bones? All that remained of me was a hollow consciousness. A bitter smile tugged
My boyfriend, Kevin Woods, was a forensic doctor. Meanwhile, I got kidnapped by the ex-convict he had helped sentence to prison in the past.He and his accomplices strapped a bomb to me.The kidnapper glared at me angrily. "You're Kevin's girlfriend, yeah? Tell him to get his ass over here right now!"I was forced to call Kevin. He sounded very impatient when he responded. "I told you not to call me when I'm working! You're so annoying!"I explained hurriedly, "Kevin, I got kidnapped! They're trying to get revenge on you! You mustn't come to my rescue—"Before I could finish my sentence, the kidnapper snatched the phone away. Kevin's voice drifted clearly from the loudspeaker. "Michelle, are you nuts? I told you I'm at work! How dare you joke around with stuff like that!"Do you even know that Vi's cat has been stuck in the tree for three days now? If I don't save it, it'll die! And to think that you came up with this reason just so you could get me to go home! You might as well just
