All Chapters of My Husband’s Dead for Real: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Tiffany held my hand and said, "Celeste, I'm glad you realize your mistakes. However, since the doctor has said that Dylan is in the final stages, we should let him go with dignity."Phineas scoffed and said sarcastically, "Do you know better than the doctor? Stop making a fuss!"I forced out a couple of tears. "Dylan is still so young. I don't want him to die an early death. I've already contacted a specialist in Ebonas. It just so happens that they have a suitable liver donor. As soon as he's transferred, they can schedule a transplant surgery."Of course, I was making all of this up just to scare them.Sure enough, Mandy's face went pale, and she exclaimed, "No!"My in-laws also strongly opposed the idea.I shot a cold glance at Mandy."I've never seen a doctor stop a patient from seeking treatment. Or are you suggesting your diagnosis was wrong?"Mandy's eyes flickered, but she stubbornly insisted there was no way she could have misdiagnosed Dylan. Tiffany scolded me, a

Mandy returned and was flabbergasted.I didn't give her a second to think."Dr. Spears, my in-laws seem to be unwell. Could you please take them for a check-up while I get my husband to the funeral home?"I had just taken Dylan's death certificate from Tiffany's hands. With this, there was nothing that could stop me from burning him alive.Mandy turned pale. "I'm more familiar with the funeral home's procedures, maybe I should—"Before she could finish, I cut her off sternly, "Dr. Spears, only the immediate family of the dead are allowed to handle the funeral home procedures. Who are you to Dylan? And are you the one who issued the death certificate?"Mandy was at a loss for words. Under my piercing gaze, she looked extremely nervous.It was ridiculous for a mistress to want to sign official paperwork. Without wasting any more time, I got into the car with the funeral home staff.As we drove over a speed bump, I noticed Dylan's eyebrows twitch.Uh-oh. Was this guy waking u

I put on a shocked expression."Are you serious, Mom? Dr. Spears and Dylan were having an affair? Dylan was cheating on me?!"Tiffany realized she had slipped up and looked frustrated. She mumbled, "Dylan's gone, so what's the point of talking about this?"She wanted to brush off the whole situation with a casual remark after all this. No way!Acting as if I had just pieced everything together, I began to speak up, "So, what you're saying is, Dylan never had cancer? He faked his death just so he could run off with Dr. Spears?"No wonder he faked drowning and pretended to have late-stage cancer. He could have just told me that he had cheated. I wouldn't have refused a divorce—there was no need for all this."At that moment, with all the cameras on me, I continued, "Now, it makes sense why he made sure to write that will, making me the sole beneficiary and sticking me with his debts..."I laid out each piece of the puzzle carefully, then stopped at just the right moment.The on

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Before we call the cops to get our money back, let's take some stuff to settle the debt! Come on, everyone, grab something!"I stepped outside and coldly watched them loot the place. Dylan had probably spent most of the money from his online loans by now. The house was filled with brand-new furniture and electronics as well as some gadgets I'd never even seen before. Well, it didn't matter anymore—they were all gone in an instant.My in-laws tried to argue with the mob, but they were no match. A few neighbors had come to watch the scene unfold, and I sighed dramatically."Not only did they help Dylan hide his affair, but they also planned the whole fake death scheme so he could run away abroad," I said, making sure everyone around me could hear my words. "I thought I was the only one who got screwed over, but it turns out they were running an illegal investment scam too."I spilled the dirty details of the Lovells' crimes, and soon, the n
