The Wrong Season for Love Chapter 5 He Discovers My Death
As soon as the number was dialed, a sudden screech of brakes jolted the bus, and Jimmy's phone fell on the floor.Zendaya, taking advantage of the abrupt stop, quickly leaned down and hung up the call. As I regarded her frantic, disheveled state, I couldn't help but suspect that my death had something to do with her. I had no solid proof. Still, actions would always leave traces. Hence, I could only wait for the day when justice caught up with her.The vehicle pulled into the rescue team's compound. The director of the Exploration Department, Thomas Puden, rushed over almost immediately. Before Howard could even get out of the vehicle, Thomas blocked the car door, his sharp eyes scanning every face inside the vehicle. His expression darkened as his gaze finally settled on Howard."Where are my men?" Thomas demanded, his voice low and dangerous.Howard stiffened, and he lowered his head to explain, "When we got there… It was too late…"Thomas grabbed him by the collar, his voice

Howard was ordered to suspend his duties by the rescue team and take a break at home. To take care of him, Zendaya moved into my house without hesitation. Despite her good intentions, he wouldn't let her stay in the bedroom. Instead, he had her sleep on the couch.She slept on the couch for three days and never complained to spare him from distress. However, on the fourth day, she had already lost her patience. She went into the bedroom, eyes blazing, and pointed an accusing finger at him."You said you were planning to divorce Wendy, didn't you?" Her voice was sharp, laced with frustration. "You don't love her anymore, right? Now that she's dead, isn't that perfect for us? Who are you putting on this desperate look for?"He lifted his head slowly and said in a low voice, "Wendy must have been in so much pain when she died. The rescue team recreated the scene inside the cave. Seven or eight wolves tore her apart."If I hadn't gone to save you but answered her call and went to res

The investigation results from the Exploration Department were finally out. Alice was afraid that someone might try to cover up for Zendaya. So, she grabbed her phone and enlisted the help of several influential online personalities to livestream the entire process for the world to see.Zendaya's connections within the upper ranks of the Exploration Department were murky at best. She had been promoted to become my immediate boss and had authority over the selection of exploration sites and personnel assignments.To eliminate me, she deliberately reassigned all the other team members, leaving me vulnerable. Her original plan was to send me to Mount Kina alone. However, the Exploration Department had strict rules. No one could enter the mountains solo, and a minimum of two people was required. That was how Andrew ended up as the unlucky one to join me.To ensure that Howard wouldn't rush to rescue me, she climbed halfway up Mount Evei at the same time, intentionally cutting her arm wi
Last Updated : 2024-10-11The Wrong Season for Love Chapter 8 Howard's and Zendaya's POVs
Howard's POVI was about to be executed by the firing squad. This was something totally uncalled for.I thought that if Zendaya died and I lost my mind, I could somehow escape my fate. Alas, I didn't realize how advanced technology had become in this modern era. There was no hiding from the machines, no way to slip through unnoticed.When the results from the tests came back, I freaked out and dropped to my knees in front of the officers, begging for a reduced sentence.Still, I had killed Zendaya. I killed her in cold blood and was fully sane about what I was doing.She deserved to die. She was the one who caused the death of Wendy and our child. Shouldn't she pay with her life?Speaking of Wendy, I didn't even know how to describe her. She was always so...gentle, so calm. She never fought for or competed with me. We treated each other with polite distance.When Zendaya left me and married someone else, I spiraled. For a long time, I didn't believe in love anymore. I decide

"Awooo... Awooo..."The pack of wolves finally retreated from the cave amidst their pack leader's howls. However, they were far from satisfied.I huddled in the corner and kept trembling as I stared at the shredded pieces of my body, which were no longer recognizable as human. It seemed as though I could still feel the pain from just before I died.I stood up cautiously and crawled toward the mangled remains of my body. In some naive, desperate attempt, I thought I could piece myself back together. I hoped that when the rescue team arrived, they would immediately be able to identify the victim as me. Or maybe, deep down in my heart, I didn't want my husband to see me like this—beyond recognition and torn apart by animals.Alas, when I reached out to touch the scattered chunks of flesh before me, my hand passed right through them and grasped at nothing. I stared, wide-eyed, at my opaque hand in disbelief before falling to the ground in despair.'It turns out that when one is dead,

The voice was painfully familiar to me. It belonged to Zendaya Filgen, Howard's unforgettable first love.Ever since she returned to the country, Howard had become a completely different person.His phone now rang at all hours, day and night. It didn't matter how late it was, as he would rush over to Zendaya without hesitation if she rang him up. Each time I confronted him about it, our arguments would end the same way. He would snap at me with growing irritation, "Zendaya is all alone and helpless in Primrose. What's wrong with me helping her out? Why do you always have to stir up trouble?"We started a cold war, and the cold war became his excuse to avoid coming home often. In those days when he was never around, I tried to find proof that he was cheating on me. Alas, it didn't matter how many stones I unturned as it turned out that he really was just helping her tirelessly, night and day.Still, over time, he grew more irritable and impatient with me. In the past, he would

Howard frowned and raised his hands high in an awkward attempt to create some distance between them. He said dryly, "You need to disinfect that wound immediately, or it could get infected. I'll go grab the first aid kit right now."As he tried to push Zendaya away, she wrapped her arms tightly around his waist. Her voice was sweet and mingled with an unmistakable hint of seduction. "I do not need bandages. You really do not understand what I mean? "All this time, never once did you feel something for me?"Look, Wendy isn't here. I won't tell anyone. It'll be our little secret between the two of us. Okay?"She stood on her tiptoes and was about to plant a kiss on his lips. However, he turned his head away to avoid it and carefully pried her arms off him. He was about to explain when the shrill ringing of his phone interrupted him.He quickly answered the call, and without even having the time to utter a word, an urgent voice came over the line, "Captain, we have found two bodies i

The Wrong Season for Love Chapter 4 If He Had Called Me
He clutched his phone tightly, and his breathing grew heavier with every passing second.The rest of them watched him in tense silence and dared not utter a word. His fingers, trembling, flew across the screen and typed in a string of numbers. Alas, the screen showed the words 'Incorrect password.'He breathed a heavy sigh of relief as he handed the phone over to the team member behind him while looking utterly drained. His voice quivered as he said, "There's no way to piece together a body from what's left. We'll have to rely on DNA testing and unlocking the phone to confirm the victim's identity."Just as he was about to place my phone into an evidence bag, it suddenly started ringing.Everybody stared at the screen in shock as they answered.When it turned out to be just a scammer on the other end of the line, the collective exhalation from the group was one of disappointment before they went back to the grim task of gathering what was left of my body.Once all was packed, the
