"Where the heck is she?"

Jason York looked impatient when he saw no one behind the maid. "Tell her to hurry up and make us something to eat. It's rare that Jean feels like eating, so tell her to get cooking!"

The maid, Fleur Smith, had just returned from the backyard. She was pale and shaking as she lowered her head and said, "The… the shed in the backyard collapsed. Mrs. York might be in danger…"

Jason froze for a moment before letting out a cold laugh. "Well, aren't you a loyal one? What's this? Are you putting on a show together so that I'll sympathize with you?

"Get her here before I lose my patience, or she won't be getting any meals for the next three days!"

Fleur kept her head low, but her resolve was firm. "Mr. York, I think you should go take a look for yourself," she insisted. "Mrs. York has done a lot for the family. How can you be so cruel..."

"Are you trying to tell me what to do? I know you're loyal to her, but you're just a servant. You have no right to interfere in our business!" Jason snapped. He glared at her furiously. "If she insists on sulking and refuses to come, then she'd better stay out of my sight forever!"

I laughed bitterly. If he knew that I was dead, would he laugh?

Fleur was just about to say something when Jean Sullivan appeared in her wheelchair. She shot Fleur a sharp glare.

In contrast, her voice was soft and gentle as she said to Jason, "Jace, I thought we agreed not to lose your temper so often. It's not good for your mania. You don't have to bother with the servants, anyway."

Jason's tone softened when he met Jean's gaze. "Why didn't you ask someone to help you with the wheelchair? How do you feel?"

"I'm fine. I can move around myself," Jean replied. "Is Chelsea still mad at you? Maybe you should talk to her, Jason. She's feeling insecure. That's why she treated me like that. It's not her fault."

Jason went up to her while looking pained. "You're too kind, Jean. That's why people bully you."

Jean looked up at Jason while looking all doe-eyed. "I'm just worried about you, Jace. A harmonious family makes for a happy life. I don't want you to get angry about these menial things and wear yourself out."

Jason frowned. "How is this menial? No, I'll make that woman come and apologize to you in person!"

He pressed his lips together and patted Jean on the head fondly. "Don't overthink this, Jean. I owe you as much. That woman is just being unreasonable!"

As I watched the pair of lovesick fools, I felt the urge to slap them both.

    Unfortunately, I was nothing but an incorporeal spirit. I couldn't touch them even if I wanted to.There had been a storm last night. I was lying on the ground and barely hanging on to my last breath when the ground began shaking. A gaping chasm opened up suddenly before me, causing the shed to collapse right on top of me. It crushed me.I watched as the chasm widened. The split kept creeping closer to me.Then, something struck me in the head, and I blacked out.When I opened my eyes again, I saw my body wedged in the crevice in a grotesque position, bloody and mangled.My soul had left my body and was left drifting.I had tried several times to leave the York Residence but to no avail.Over at the house, Jason had called a doctor over to check up on Jean as he was still worried about her health.The doctor had been observing Jean's expression as soon as he entered. Slowly, he said, "Thankfully, Ms. Sullivan suffers only minor injuries. She will not need any medication."Jaso

    The rain felt like knives lashing across my skin. The wind had been fierce.By then, the drugs had taken effect. The pain was excruciating. It gnawed deep down into my bones.I lay in complete darkness. I was helpless and terrified as heat escaped from my body.It turned out that the myth was true—one relived their whole life at death's door.The past began flashing past in my mind's eye.Just before I lost consciousness, I saw a faint light approaching me.Even though I couldn't see who was behind the light, it still gave me hope.I thought that Jason had softened and had decided to bring me back.However, all I got was a dull pain in the back of my head, and I lost consciousness completely.…"Bring her here immediately!

    Back then, we'd only registered our marriage in the city hall. We never held a wedding, so no one outside the family knew that I was Jason's wife.He had told me, at the time, that he would hold our wedding when York Corporation was listed.I'd agreed to that stupidly. Then, after his company was listed, he was too busy with his work. He only agreed to the wedding six months ago, when I finally reminded him about it.When we first registered our marriage, he had been attentive to my likes and dislikes. When he found out that I liked apricots, he planted apricot trees in the backyard.Every time I had to use my spiritual energy to help the York family, I would get a fever and eat a lot more to compensate for the energy loss.Before, he would explore different cuisines and cook for me himself.He had been so good to me that I fell deeply in love with him. I did not even care that I was exhausting my spiritual energy for him.At the time, he was all I thought about.Then, Jason fo

    There was a storm raging outside. I would definitely die if Jason threw me out.I kept pleading with him. I had done so much for the York family over the last ten years. I thought he would at least show me some mercy.Unfortunately, he remained ruthless and merciless.He seemed to have forgotten that I was just a normal woman. I wasn't some divine being. I had been drugged, had a fever, and my limbs were broken. I definitely wouldn't survive the storm in this state."Get up!" Jason pulled the white sheet off my body, exposing my bloody corpse.He gagged and was clearly disgusted, but forcefully regained his composure when he saw the servants looking at him. "Stop playing dead! Do you think this will make me forgive you? Jean needs food. Get up and make something for her now!"My body shouldn't be so battered, even if it had been wedged in a crevice.I stared at my corpse and fell into deep thought.When the corpse did not answer Jason, the air turned cold suddenly.Jason's exp

    Softly, Jason comforted Jean, "Don't say that, silly. This wasn't your fault. Don't worry, I'll find the best doctor to cure your illness!""You're the best, Jace," Jean replied. "I'm glad to have you by my side. Where's Chelsea? Why isn't she here?"Jason's face stiffened for a second before his expression smoothed over. "Don't worry about her. She somehow found a corpse to impersonate herself just so she could escape punishment. I'm having an autopsy done on the body right now. "I don't think you know this, but her mentor was a known necromancer, so I wouldn't put it past her.""I didn't know Chelsea knew that stuff." Jean looked uneasy for a moment."That's all in the past! Don't worry about her. Let me take you back," Jason said with a look of disdain.No matter how many times I explained to Jason that I knew nothing about necromancy, he refused to believe me.As he carried Jean back to his room, he tripped over something and fell on top of her. Jean immediately blushed.S

    "You better keep your word, Jean. I'm only here with you and involved in this game because you told me you were pregnant with my child," the doctor said."That's enough! If you don't keep playing your part, how are you going to support the child once it's born?" Jean stood up and rested her hand on her slightly swollen belly. There was a greedy glint in her eyes."The Yorks have had it easy for the last ten years. Once we get their secrets, the Sullivans can be just as successful as they are! It's all that woman's fault. She's blocking my way to fortune. Spiritual energy? What rot!" she scoffed. "Remember, you need to dispose of the body properly, or we’ll both be done for!"The doctor nodded fervently. He reached out to caress Jean's belly as well while smiling widely. "Don't worry. I'll handle this perfectly."Soon, York Corporation got into another spot of financial trouble.Without my spiritual energy to help them out, misfortune dawned on the Yorks. It was one thing after ano

    I thought Jason would be heartbroken and filled with regret when the truth was revealed.Instead, he was furious. "Do you know how important Chelsea was to the York Corporation? Without her, the company can't even function!"I couldn't help but laugh.I'd given him ten years of dedication, yet none of that could compare to the return of his first love. I was treated as a mere substitute and never received any love in return.Eventually, the debtors came knocking. The York Corporation was on the verge of bankruptcy.Even though he had had several years of help with my spiritual energy and luck, it still didn't make him a smarter investor. Jason stubbornly stuck to failing investments and even took out private loans. The York Corporation, though still grand on the outside, was slowly rotting away at the root.During the commotion, Jean and Andrew slipped away and escaped.To my surprise, I was able to follow them out of the York Residence.I only realized why when I saw the penda
