Half a month passed. Xander could no longer hide the stench of my rotting corpse. The police came by and found Xander crouching beside my body in a daze.

After they investigated the case, Xander was arrested. When he was escorted out of the company building, he kept on struggling and fighting back. “No one can separate me from Susan!”

Even after he was dragged into the police car, he continued screaming.

Honestly, I did nothing. I just showed him proof of my love for him.

That was the only thing I could do as a ghost.

One week ago, he saw the pregnancy test kit.

As Grace watched him act like a lunatic, she lost her patience with him and decided to give up on him. So, she stole company secrets and joined his rival company.

Xander was furious, but his pride would not allow him to humble himself.

I kept on tormenting him and found myself not minding the trouble at all. He soon gained a gaunt look. Then, the pregnancy test kit fell into his cup.

He could no longer bear with the

    Hadden's sister had merely choked on some water at the pool while she was swimming, and for that, he shoved me into the pool after tying me up. He left me with only a small hole for air that was barely an inch.He said I would have to pay double for every grievance Julia suffered.I never learned how to swim. There was nothing I could do but try my best to breathe as I sobbed and begged him to let me out.Yet all I received was a lecture. "You'll never learn if I don't teach you a lesson now."I struggled to stay afloat, but…It took five days before Hadden's anger dissipated and he put me out of my misery, but it was already too late. "I'll let you go this time, but you'd better not make the same mistake again!"I had already drowned to death.It was 11:00 am, and Hadden was frowning at the dishes on the table."It's been two days! Why hasn't that bitch come and bring me my food?! She's supposed to send it over before lunch! What the hell?! Just because she's being punished does

    Despite ghosts not needing to breathe, my chest constricted at the sight as if I would be locked in that suffocating space again. At the same time, Hadden continued to comfort Julia with an arm wrapped around her waist."It's going to be alright. Eat more, okay? You've gotten skinnier again. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Look how much skinner you've got. What's a few days of starvation to that fatso anyway? "I can't believe she would dare do such a thing to you! I won't let her out until she apologizes and learns her lesson."I watched silently, heartbroken from where I stood behind him. I wanted to cry, but there were no tears left.The fact that I had suffocated and struggled for my life in the pool meant nothing to him, not when compared to the few gulps of pool water Julia had choked on.I could not swim, and I could not get out. It was ridiculous to think that I was still begging him to let me out until my dying breath, pleading with him to let me live. It was al

    Hadden ended his meeting early when he received the call and rushed home. He dashed to the pool and cradled Julia, who was still choking on pool water, in his arms. "Julia, Julia! Stay with me! Come on! Julia, please. I need you…"I remembered thinking how ridiculous it was as I watched the scene from above.I was thinking to myself if it was really necessary. Julia could swim, so why was Hadden acting like she was going to die?It was only when Hadden dragged me to the pool by my hair that I realized how much he truly cared for Julia."How could you be so cruel?! How could you push Julia into the water?! You almost killed her! I almost lost her because of you!"I won't let you get away with doing whatever crap you want to do, Felicia. I'll make you suffer twice the pain and fear you put Julia through. And I won't let you out until you learn what you did wrong!"Even now, Hadden still believed that I was the one at fault, that I should have admitted to everything he accused m

    My marriage with Hadden might have been a business arrangement, but for me, it was love at first sight.The first time I saw him was in high school. I was a transfer student, and that made me a target for bullying. I tried my best to defend myself, but I was heavily outnumbered.Just as I was about to give up, he appeared—my knight in shining armor.I was too excited to sleep when my parents told me I would be marrying him, but I didn't know he only agreed as a way to receive funds to save his company's capital chain.Perhaps he only stood up for me back then because Julia was the main perpetrator, and he did not want her to get in trouble.In the years of our marriage, I was always the one taking care of him. I cooked every meal because I was worried he would not like the food outside.Slowly, he warmed up to me as well and would surprise me with gifts. I thought we would have our happy ending, but I was too naive.I remembered telling him excitedly that we would be parents, on

    After a while, Hadden seemed to have thought of something. He kicked the cover and shouted at his assistant, "You! You were the one who put this mannequin in here, weren't you? You helped Felicia escape!"His assistant was pretty much vomiting bile at this point, but ignoring Hadden was not an option."I didn't, Mr. Rowse! This has nothing to do with me. I'm pretty sure… that's Ms. Lowe's body…" His words came out in fragments as he continued to throw up.Hadden did not look pleased with his assistant's response and glared at the pool with contempt. Disbelief laced the words he said next."It's fake! This body has to be fake! I know she put that in there because she doesn't want to admit that she did something wrong. I knew she wasn't going to apologize so easily. Just wait! Once I get my hands on her, I'll make her apologize to Julia!"It was hilarious how delusional he was being. Laughing, I even did a twirl in front of him."I'm right in front of you, Hadden. Can't you see?

    Hadden was insistent that I had escaped. He even went through the surveillance footage at the pool to prove himself right.Through the footage, he watched me struggle for my life after I was thrown into the pool… until I stopped moving.Despite this, Hadden still refused to believe that I was dead. Aggressively, he punched the monitor, cracking it."No! I don't believe this!" he yelled, pointing at the footage. "The cameras are frozen! Felicia must've tampered with them. I knew it, that bitch!"Hadden grabbed his laptop and threw it onto the ground.Seeing the laptop break into pieces must not have been enough to vent his anger because he proceeded to grab the cup beside him and throw it at the broken laptop.It took him a while to remember where he was. He turned to look at Julia, who seemed afraid by his outburst, and immediately apologized."Oh, Julia, I'm sorry. It's alright, I'm not angry at you. It's her I'm pissed at. How could she be so irresponsible? She hurt you! And i

    "And? Who cares if you die? It's only fair after what you did to Julia! Your parents are dead anyway. So, if you die, you'll get to reunite with them. You should be thanking me instead."The more I struggled and fought back, the harsher Hadden tossed me around and the colder his glare."You pushed Julia into the pool. So now, I'm pushing you into the pool. An eye for an eye."I refused, so he broke my wrist and kicked my abdomen. Then, he tossed me into the pool."Die, you horrible woman!" I did not remember my last moments, but I figured I felt regretful. I should not have agreed to marry Hadden, and I should not have allowed myself to believe that I could make him fall in love with me. He was right about one thing, though. I was dead. I should be reunited with my parents.Yet, I did not see them anywhere.The next few days passed similarly, and Hadden had yet to find any leads on my whereabouts.However, he was also busy with Julia's concert—pre-ordering flowers, hiring ba

    Sparks landed on the stage and on the audience, but none landed on me. Underneath the stage, I watched as Hadden gently wrapped Julia in his arms and slowly walked her to the limo. The engine started, and he tightened his hold on her."Thank you, Julia, for always being by my side."Julia smiled happily and hugged him back. Then, she turned her head to peck the tip of his ear."If you'll have me, Hadden, I'll always be by your side."…A long time passed after the concert before it crossed Hadden's mind to continue looking for me again.He spent a lot of manpower and resources to look for me, even going as far as to spread the word to all his employees that anyone who found me or found leads on me would receive a cash reward. Anyone who managed to bring me to him would receive a house in the city center.It was ridiculous, considering I was right here. I made my way to stand behind Hadden and huffed a breath at his neck. It was starting to get frustrating how invisible I was

    When 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
