Chapter 1

Author: Mist
When my body was being dismembered, my fiance was helping my cousin choose her wedding dress.

When he received my distress call, he said with disgust, "I hope you never come back! You can die with the bastard in your belly! Don't ever call me again. The mentioning of your name makes me sick!"

After that, he found a body part of me in a water tank on the rooftop of a hotel.

He thought it was a prank, so he actually ordered white lilies and candles to be delivered to my doorstep.

Only when he found my head buried in the grass under his feet on the day of our wedding did he realize that it wasn't a prank.

...

After I died, my soul floated in midair. I looked as if my body was being dismembered into countless pieces.

The phone to the side with a shattered screen still showed me and Jack Spencer's engagement photo.

Right now, he was helping his childhood sweetheart choose her wedding dress.

Anna Renolds wrapped her arms around Jack's coquettishly. "Jack, what if something really happened to Laura? I don't want the two of you to have an argument because of me."

Jack's face darkened. "What could possibly happen to her? She cheated on me and then caused your parents' death. Someone like her deserves to die and her body dismembered!"

At the mention of her parents, Anna immediately began crying in Jack's arms.

As for me, I could only watch as my fiance pulled my cousin into a tight embrace. There was nothing I could do.

I wanted to explain things to my fiance but I couldn't.

When my aunt and uncle picked me up from school, we got involved in a car crash. I became the only survivor.

My cousin, Anna, became an orphan and began living at my house.

From that day onwards, Jack never even looked at me.

He would have me go out at three o'clock in the morning in my pajamas to get something to eat for Anna. He would also force me to pray for Anna so that she could have a better life.

I was also a victim of the car crash, but to Jack, I was more like the inflicter.

Jack wiped the tears from the corners of Anna's eyes and kissed her cheeks.

He was my fiance, but he would never kiss me. All he would do was vent his lust out on me. Even if I cried out loud, he would still not care about me.

Anna was wearing a white wedding dress and all the members of staff complimented her on how good she looked. They would say that she was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen.

Jack also looked at her with eyes full of affection. This was a scene that I had seen countless times in my dreams.

I would wear the wedding dress he had specifically ordered for me, put the ring on me, and live a happy married life.

Now, all of that had turned to ash.

Anna said with a smile, "Let's get Laura to be my bridesmaid when we get married. She is my cousin after all."

Jack had been smiling, but his face darkened when he heard my name. He then said in a cold voice, "She's not worthy of being your cousin. Her presence is a humiliation to our wedding. Don't bring that up again."

I knew he hated me to the guts, but hearing those words myself still made my heart ache.

The words were like knives stabbing into my heart. The pain was excruciating.

'But Jack, you were the one who said that I was your perfect bride and the wife that you would spend the rest of your life with.'

Why did he suddenly change?

The next time he saw me was at the rooftop of a hotel.

He stood by the water tank and looked at a part of my body with disgust.

A perimeter was set and the putrefied arm attracted the attention of everyone present.

Jack's name could be seen on the arm. I secretly tattooed his name on my arm when I had a crush on him when we were little.

That... was my arm.

My heart skipped a beat and I became nervous as well.

Would he recognize that the arm belonged to me?

Would he realize that I had been murdered?

But when I went to his side, I realized how wrong I had been.

"Is this one of Laura Walker's pranks? Is she trying to scare me with a broken arm? She really is willing to do anything to ruin our wedding." Jack punched the wall next to him.

    Anna, who had just arrived, saw the severed arm on the ground and was so frightened that she clutched her chest tightly. Her lips trembled as she said, "If Laura doesn't want me to marry you, then I won't. Why would she go this far?"After saying that, Anna's vision went black, and she fainted into Jack's arms.This only made Jack, who was already furious, even more enraged. He picked her up and hurried to the hospital."Laura! If anything happens to Anna, I'll take your life in return!"What I never expected was that even though Anna was fine, Jack still hated me to the core.He even ordered numerous white lilies and candles to be delivered to my doorstep. The mess blocked the hallway.Neighbors who passed by took one look and muttered in disgust, calling it bad luck.After settling Anna in, Jack came straight to my rented apartment.He pounded angrily on the door.

    ‘No! I didn't! I never did anything! Jack, why won't you listen to my explanation? You won't even acknowledge our baby! He was only two months old! Because you ignored me, because you hated me, he died before he was even born.’With that thought in mind, my tears welled up in my eyes.But what shocked me even more was that Anna called to say she was pregnant.With a gentle and delicate voice, she said, "The baby is already a month old. This is your first child, the proof of our love."I froze in an instant.They were going to have their own child.But Jack…That was not your first baby.Anna enjoyed everyone's love and favoritism, even my own parents favored her.After the university entrance exams, she received travel funds from my mother to go on holiday, while I was stuck in the sweltering summer heat, wearing a heavy mascot costume, handing out leaflets one by one.My mother claimed it was to train my social skills, but I knew she just didn't want me to have any free time

    Sam led a team of investigators to surround the wedding venue, holding a megaphone as he shouted, "Everyone, please leave the area in an orderly manner. According to an informant's report, this location is likely the primary crime scene of a recent dismemberment case. Please cooperate with our investigation!"Seeing a group of people disrupt his wedding, Jack's expression darkened even more. He stormed up to Sam and said coldly, "Did Laura send you? She dares to cause trouble but won't show herself? If she has the guts, she should come out and talk to me herself! She keeps claiming she's dead! She's just trying to stop me from being with Anna, isn't she? Tell her this—no matter what, I will never get back together with her!"After his long rant, Sam paid him no attention at all. Instead, he crouched down, carefully examining the grass beneath his feet.There were several dried bloodstains, looking highly suspicious.Being completely ignored, Jack grew even more furious. He roared,

    "Last month, you were still sending me money. Why did you suddenly die?"Anna turned her head to comfort my mother and said, "Mom, don't be sad. Please accept this and move on."Perhaps it was Anna's indifferent attitude that angered my mother.She suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, "My biological daughter is right here. Who do you think you are to comfort me? Get out!"I never expected my mother to yell at Anna. In her heart, she should have been reluctant to do so.She said that seeing Anna was like seeing my uncle.She valued family ties above all else, so over time, she gradually ignored me.She forgot the most important thing—a mother's love.I stood aside, watching their disbelief, feeling more and more heartbroken.I was missing for a week, dead for three days.No one had reached out to me, and even less had anyone cared.All they ever did was curse, mock, and insult me.To them, I was nothing but a burden.My long disappearance didn't make them worry that somet

    Jack followed Sam, trying to gather some information under the guise of being a friend, but Sam rejected him outright.He said, "Laura is already dead. What are you doing here? Wasn't it you who told her to go die? Who are you putting on this act for? Do you think a simple 'I'm sorry' can bring her back to life?"I stood to the side, watching Sam reprimand Jack. There was nothing Jack could say.He just kept his head down, mumbling, "It was all my fault."Sam continued his work. Since the deceased was me, he felt a bit more reluctant.After all, we had grown up together, like siblings."The deceased, Laura, 26 years old. The body was dismembered and dumped by the murderer. Preliminary estimates place the time of death at dawn five days ago."Yes, that rainy night five days ago.As usual, I had followed Jack's orders to pick up Anna, who had been out until the early hours.

Please, I beg you, stop talking about it, okay?’What's the point of bringing it up now?...With Sam's help, the murder's DNA in my body was soon tested, but the database still couldn't find a match.The baby's DNA was also tested, and the results were clearly written on the report in his hands.Just as I was about to get closer, I ran straight into my exhausted mother."Sam, tell me, is Laura really dead? I just can't believe it's true. I keep trying to call her, but no matter what, she won't answer."In just a few days, my mother's hair had turned completely grey. I had never seen her so devastated before.Sam couldn't bring himself to tell her that I had been pregnant before I died, so he said gently, "We have confirmed the identity of the deceased.
