At the end of the day, my colleague, Melody Christie, came to find me. She wanted me to cover her night shift. I turned her down because I had commitments after work. That night, she was caught abandoning her shift and she got fired. Melody blamed me for it. Just when I was almost going into labor, she pushed me down the stairs. "Do you know how hard I worked to get this job? If it was not for you, I wouldn't have been fired! If I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me!" I died, and my baby did not survive either. When I opened my eyes once more, I was back to the same day when Melody asked me to cover her shift. Only this time, I knew the truth. Turns out, she had left her shift for a rendezvous with my husband.

I opened my chat with Melody.[Melody, there's something you should know. I'm afraid that Zach has lied to you. Before the divorce, we went for a body checkup. I just got the results back today. Zach has most likely contracted HIV.]Melody wrote back furiously in a barrage of messages.[Lucy! Have you gone nuts? How could you curse Zach like this!][Zach isn't the type of person who sleeps around! You're just jealous of us!][If Zach has HIV, you'll most likely have it too!]She sent me a last message. [Lucy, are you for real? You have your results back, right? Are you HIV positive, too?][I'm negative. But I'd advise you to go and get yourself checked as soon as possible and start treatment early.]A few days later, I received messages from Evan.[Lucy, how do you know that Zach has HIV? The results are out. He's positive. Melody's negative.]Then, I received another message from Evan.[He's been trying to borrow money for treatment, but he barely has any relatives, let alo

After the divorce, I was on cloud nine. Nothing could ever bother me anymore.However, I could not say the same for Zach and Melody.I heard that even bootlicker Brandon had asked Melody for a divorce. Melody got nothing out of the divorce. However, she did not care that she was broke. She immediately moved in with Zach.[Lucy, be at Stellar Restaurant this evening at six. Come and see what will happen. I assure you it'll be thrilling.] Vivian had sent me that message.I immediately got ready. The moment I finished work, I headed straight to the restaurant.My god. It was a scene with Vivian, Zach, and Melody. It could be an award-winning film.I stood upstairs, watching them fight over each other downstairs.Melody was playing the pitiful act. "Zach, please don't break up with me. I just got divorced. We can finally be together openly."Vivian looked at Zach angrily. "Honey, who the hell is she? You better explain to me. Otherwise, let's break up."Zach looked at Vivian, his

That afternoon, I got Evan to hand the divorce papers to Zach. I changed the locks at home, too.Then, I went straight to my parents' place to tell them about Zach's situation. I only told them about how Zach had an affair. I did not dare to mention that Zach had killed me once. I was afraid my parents would not be able to take it.Thankfully, my father was still influential. He quickly took back Zach's power and fired all the people Zach had gotten to his side.I had to give it to Zach. He went missing right at that moment. However, two days later, he came to my house, kneeling and begging for forgiveness."Lucy, I was wrong. It was all Melody's fault for seducing me. I couldn't ignore her because she was your colleague. That was how she took advantage of me. It was all her fault," he said while knocking on the door.There were even tears streaming down his face."Lucy, I'm sorry. I will never fall for another woman again. I'll only love you in this life. Lucy, our baby is about

In the surveillance footage, I saw that Melody had also gone to my place to look for the phone."Babe, look fast. We have to delete the photos before she sees it.""Zach, so what if she sees the photos? I'm not afraid. I don't want to share you with her anymore. Every time I think about you two together, I get nauseous!""Melody, I don't want to be close to her either. Don't worry. Her father has already handed me most of the power in the company. I'm almost calling all the shots now."Zach placed his hand on Melody's body. "Just bear with it a little longer. When she goes into labor, we'll kill her and the baby. Then, I'll marry you. Now is not the time yet. People will call you a mistress. How can I bear to let them call you that?""Zach, you're a good man. For your words, I'll wait. I'll keep myself for you. I won't let Brandon touch me." Melody looked at Zach dotingly like a woman in love.Zach sure had his way with words. He could easily console Melody with just a few words.

In my previous life, Melody tricked me into going to the staircase. Then, I was shoved down the stairs. Zach only found me after seven hours. He should have returned home right after work that day.I would have survived if he had returned home at the usual time.Finally, I knew why.How silly of me! Zach was a wolf in sheep's clothing. I was being played for a fool without even knowing it.Luckily, the universe was fair. I guessed the universe gave me a second chance to show my stupidity.I wiped my tears and flushed the bank transaction receipt down the drain.I instantly understood Zach's point of view. I grew up in a relatively affluent family. My mother worked for the government, and my father owned a business.When Zach and I got married, my father's company was one of the leading businesses in the city. My father even roped Zach in to help with the company.Zach did not let my parents down. He was diligent, and he worked hard. My father held him in high regard. He was pla

Melody became flustered. She stopped crying. Instead, she turned to threats. "Officer Lowe, I want to remind you that I'm in charge of the proposals and dealings with Newton Properties. If I leave, you'll have nothing."Oh, right. About that. I quickly ran to Officer Lowe and said, "Officer Lowe, Mr. Walker instructed Melody and me to work on the Newton Properties proposal. I just finished it. Do you want to have a look?"Melody glared at me. I flashed my innocent eyes at her. "Melody, I heard you talking about Newton Properties, so I quickly came over. Did I do something wrong?""You… You…" Melody huffed."Melody, just go. If you have any issues, take it up with the city council," Officer Lowe said.Officer Lowe had just gained some cookie points on my side. He sure was great at getting other people to do his job."Alright, enough. Everyone, get back to your desk!" Officer Lowe yelled.There was finally a change in the situation. This round, Melody had no reason to hold a grudg
