My husband's adopted sister invited me out to dinner, and while we were eating, disaster struck—a violent earthquake shook the ground beneath us. My husband, a firefighter, rushed to the scene as quickly as he could. But fate had a cruel plan for us. We were trapped beneath a massive boulder, unable to move, and the rescuers could only save one of us. He made his choice. He chose her—the adopted sister who had always been frail and sickly—over me, his wife, who was five months pregnant with his child. I begged him, pleaded with him to save me. But he turned his back on me. The boulder pressed harder, and I felt the sickening crack of my arm breaking. He didn't even flinch. "Alice has always been weak," he said coldly. "If I leave her here, she'll die." But when I died, he lost his mind.

The Ghost of Lost Love Chapter 11
On the day of my funeral, Grayson did what he thought was right. He dressed in the black suit I had always loved, showing up at my funeral with an air of solemnity. Liam had initially tried to stop him from coming, but in the end, Mom had convinced him. After all, Grayson was my legal spouse. Friends and family gathered to say their farewells. What did it matter? I was gone, and it wasn't as though they could speak ill of me now, not while my body was being buried in the ground. Even my mother-in-law came. She was already a frail, tiny woman, but seeing her there made her appear decades older. Grayson knelt before my gravestone, convinced he was performing some act of atonement. But to me, his presence was nothing more than repulsive. After the funeral, he returned to the small apartment. Alice, starved for three days, lay there, barely clinging to life. The moment she saw Grayson, fear overtook her—a fear she couldn't hide."Grayson, I know I was wrong," Alice said, her voice

The next day, to my surprise, Liam stormed into the hospital again. He didn't utter a single word as he barged into the ward, grabbed Grayson by the collar, and dragged him out without a shred of hesitation. "What the hell are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Grayson snapped, fury blazing in his voice as he was hauled into the hallway. "You don't believe Belle's dead? Fine. Today, I'll make sure you see for yourself." Liam's face was a mask of cold fury as he yanked Grayson along, ignoring the latter's protests. "You've lost it. I'm not going!" Grayson suddenly resisted, panic flashing in his eyes. "What's the matter? Afraid? If you're so convinced she's alive, then go look for yourself. You coward. You damned beast," Liam spat, his grip unrelenting. Despite his struggles and his reluctance, Liam dragged Grayson, kicking and protesting, all the way to the mortuary. With a final shove, he slammed Grayson against the cold metal of the morgue drawer. "This is her. Look at

The scene before me was like a knife slicing through my heart—a tender tableau of affection and shared understanding. There they were, the two of them, perfectly in sync, as if the rest of the world didn't exist. If I were still alive, I would undoubtedly have been the thorn in their side, the obstacle in their love story. Turns out, falling out of love doesn't take years; it takes but a moment. And in that instant, the obsessive love I had clung to for Grayson vanished like smoke in the wind. Yet, as I watched him soothing Alice with soft whispers, promising her happiness, the ache in my chest didn't subside. It was an ache that no longer belonged to love but to something far more bitter. I thought letting go of Grayson would set me free. But even in death, I was tethered to him, unable to leave. I followed him as he left the hospital after coaxing Alice to sleep. He drove with purpose, and I, like a phantom shadow, drifted along in his wake. I followed him as he made his roun

I stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what I had just heard. What was Grayson even saying? "What the hell are you saying?" Liam's voice was raw with fury, his eyes bloodshot. "She's my sister—not by blood, sure—but the one who raised me since I was a kid! And you've got the gall to bark nonsense like this?" My mother, just as shocked, looked at Grayson as if seeing her son-in-law for the very first time. "Grayson, Belle never did anything to wrong you. Even though Liam and Belle aren't blood siblings, you've got no right to insult them like this!" Grayson's face remained cold, unflinching. "They know full well whether I'm making things up or not. I distinctly remember seeing Liam sneaking out of Belle's room in the dead of night. If there was nothing improper going on, what was he doing in her room at that hour? And a month later, she's pregnant? Whose child is it, really?" His words cut through the room like shards of glass, and I floated there, looking at him—the man I had lo

When they arrived at the hospital, Grayson was sitting beside Alice, carefully spooning chicken porridge into her mouth with the tenderness of a doting lover. I watched them, their actions as intimate as those of a couple deeply in love. The sight still stung, but the pain had dulled. Perhaps it was because I was already dead; what could any of it matter now? Death had a way of making even the most bitter grievances seem trifling. At least they could no longer disgust me the way they had when I was alive. It was Liam who exploded first. His eyes burned with fury as he caught sight of Grayson gazing fondly at Alice, the scene enough to ignite his anger to a boiling point. Without a word, he stormed forward and landed a punch square on Grayson's face, knocking him to the ground. "You bastard!" Liam roared, raining punches and kicks on Grayson. "My sister must've been blind to fall for a scum like you! She just died, and you're here playing house with this shameless tramp! How could

It was two days before my body was found. By the time they discovered me, my face and body bore numerous wounds, but my hands remained firmly clutched over my stomach, as though in a desperate attempt to protect the life I had been carrying. When the rescue team retrieved my remains, their first thought was to contact my husband. But no one could reach him. They then turned to my mother and mother-in-law. My mother arrived at the scene and, upon seeing my lifeless body, collapsed in grief, sobbing until she fainted. My mother-in-law, similarly overwhelmed, lost consciousness on the spot. When the two women regained consciousness, they went together to obtain my death certificate and made arrangements to transfer my body to the funeral home. Throughout it all, they tried repeatedly to call Grayson, only to have every attempt met with the cold indifference of a disconnected line or a curt rejection. My brother, Liam Pearson, stood by the cold storage at the funeral home where my

As I looked back, it all made sense now. His partiality toward Alice wasn't just favoritism—it was love. Because the person he truly loved was Alice, nothing and no one else mattered when she was involved. Even his mother tried her best to persuade him to check on me, but Grayson wouldn't budge. Then his phone buzzed with a message notification. He glanced at the screen, his face tightening in anger. "Mom, stop it already," he said, his voice rising. "She's incorrigible! Just because I saved Alice first, she's threatening me with divorce. She says if I don't kick Alice out of the house, she'll abort the baby. She's pure toxic, that's what she is!" His fury darkened his face, and his tone was sharp enough to cut. Curious, I floated closer to him and peeked at his phone. Sure enough, the message was from me—or at least, it appeared to be. But I was dead.I turned my gaze to Alice, suspicion blooming in my chest. Who else but her could orchestrate something like this? "You ungr

"Grayson, you're already married to Belle, and you have a child together now. You need to get your priorities straight," his mother said sharply. "Go and bring Belle back. Apologize properly. As for your sister, I'll handle her. All this nonsense she's been spouting is nothing but the ramblings of a confused mind," she added, putting an end to any argument. "Belle is still your wife, no matter what. Right now, she doesn't know what's going on, and you shouldn't be here. You should be out there finding her and bringing her back," she pressed, her expression darkening as she looked at the pair of them. My heart grew colder with every word. So I was the only one kept in the dark? The sickening relationship between Grayson and Alice—was I the only fool who didn't know? And now they wanted to keep deceiving me? I stared at these familiar faces, which now felt so alien and repulsive, and I couldn't help but feel disgusted. If the accident hadn't happened, would they have kept lying

Grayson witnessed the entire scene with his own eyes. "Belle, if anything happens to Alice, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life." From that moment on, Grayson's disdain for me deepened, growing colder with each passing day. He even brought up divorce. I clung to him desperately, refusing to let go, but our marriage was already teetering on the edge, hanging by a thread. Alice had always been a thorn between us—sharp, immovable, impossible to ignore or remove. I looked at Grayson now and wondered: if he knew I was dead, would he feel relieved that he was finally free of me? Grayson's phone rang. He answered it, not bothering to put it on speaker. I drifted closer, curious. Could it be someone calling to report my death? I studied his face intently, waiting to see his reaction when he learned I was gone.But when I glanced at the screen, I froze. The caller ID displayed my name. The voice that came through the line was unmistakably mine. "Grayson, I can'

Chapter 1
When Grayson Blackwood arrived at the earthquake site, both Alice Blackwood and I were trapped beneath a massive boulder. I couldn't move an inch; the weight pinned me down, sending a sharp, dragging pain through my abdomen. A cold dread settled in my chest—I knew the baby inside me wasn't doing well. I hadn't heard a single sound from Alice, and worry gnawed at me. Despite my own dire condition, I forced myself to comfort her. "Don't be scared, Alice," I whispered hoarsely. "Your brother will come to save us soon." This morning, Grayson and I had quarreled over Alice. We were in the midst of a cold war, but even so, I believed he'd come for us. After all, I was carrying his child. Even if he didn't care for me, surely he cared about the baby. But I overestimated the weight of my existence in his heart—and our child's too. When it came down to saving one of us first, he looked at me, his voice as icy as the ground beneath us. "I have to save Alice first." "What?" I thou
