Chapter 11

Zac was stunned. After all these years, this was the first time his father had ever brought up the subject of remarrying. His father told him that his marriage to Zac's mother had always been a business arrangement, with no real feelings involved. When Zac’s mother found true love while traveling abroad and asked for a divorce, his father agreed. But for the sake of ten-year-old Zac, they continued to pretend to be together. It wasn’t until later, when his father met my mom, that the sham marriage finally ended. After Zac heard all of this, his eyes turned bloodshot. He clenched his jaw, trying to find some hint of a lie in his father’s expression. But he seemed to fail. His father’s first heartfelt conversation with him turned out to be a brutal revelation. "So when you met my stepmom, you and my mom were already divorced?" Zac’s father nodded awkwardly. "You were still young back then, so I didn’t tell you. Now, your stepmom and I are planning a world tour,

Chapter 12

After finishing her words, Anna did not pay any more attention to the devastated Zac. She hurried to the bedroom to comfort the baby, who had been startled awake. But what neither she nor I expected was that Zac followed her into the room. He looked at the baby in Anna’s arms, forcing a smile. "He’s really handsome. Have you named him yet?" "Stop wasting time with your nonsense. I’m not telling you anything about Emma!" Anna eyed him warily. "In all these months, you haven’t visited Emma once. Aren’t you afraid she’ll hate you?" Zac’s raspy voice carried a disturbing hint of obsession. "Tell me, where did you bury Emma?" His usual composed, cold demeanor suddenly turned dark and menacing. The baby in Anna’s arms must have sensed something because he started crying again, his high-pitched wails piercing the room and snapping Zac out of his madness. "I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I just... I just want to see Emma." He reached out as if to hold the baby,

Chapter 13

I had been dead for a while now. If you had told me before I died, maybe I would have gone along with his little play of getting back together, pretending there were no regrets left in my life. But I was dead. I no longer needed Zac’s display of affection. I lost track of how long Zac stayed by my grave, rambling on and on. All I remembered was that the sky slowly darkened, and still, he could not bring himself to leave. But it felt like I was fading away. I noticed my body becoming transparent, and I could see the road to the afterlife, lined with flowers.At the other end of that road, a little girl with pigtails seemed to be calling out to me, "Mom." My body started drifting uncontrollably toward the light, and behind me, I heard Zac screaming desperately. I did not want to turn back. I never owed Zac anything. But love could make people lose their way. I loved Zac for so many years. This time, I just wanted to love myself and the child I neve

Chapter 14

When I realized this, it all became clear. The person I hated was never Emma, and it wasn’t her mother either. It was my father, the one who betrayed us. But after years of living under his authority, I never had the courage to admit that all of this was his fault. I wanted to make up for it. But when I saw her empty, lifeless eyes, I did not know what to say. I threw myself into learning the company business, hoping to take over Xander Corporation from my father. But he told me, "You can’t succeed until you have a family." So, I found a suitable partner, an heiress who was in love with someone else and just needed a scapegoat.But at my wedding, Emma wasn’t there. Anna told me she was dead, and I laughed it off as ridiculous. How could Emma be dead? But a month passed. Then two months... ... Half a year went by. Anna had her baby, and still, Emma did not return. I could not sit still anymore and tried to get information from Anna about
