All Chapters of She Killed Me to Save Her Lover: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In the dead of night, my legs throbbed with unbearable pain, making sleep impossible. I reached for my painkillers in the bedside drawer, only to find the bottle empty.Frustrated, I struggled to sit up, my useless legs dragging across the sheets. Gripping the armrest of my wheelchair, I heaved myself over. The landing was rough - my ankle caught the edge, tearing off a chunk of skin.Looking at my bleeding ankle, I let out a bitter laugh. What cruel irony that legs that can't walk can still feel such pain.A dull ache spread through my body, making me wince. Since the accident, painkillers had become my constant companion. Sometimes I wondered if complete numbness would be a blessing - for both me and Clara.I wheeled myself out carefully, trying not to disturb Clara's studying. Her medical boards were tomorrow, and she'd promised we'd marry once she passed.I'd watched her work tirelessly all year, and I truly believed she would succeed. I also wanted to believe that life wouldn

Unable to pay for the damages, I faced legal action from the neighbors, forcing the police to detain me.Clara arrived while I was processing the detention paperwork. She stood before me in a red dress, perfectly styled and made up. I tensed, instinctively trying to move my legs, but they remained heavy and unresponsive."Why did you come?" I asked, tasting blood from my bitten lip.Clara's eyes betrayed her disgust, though her words were gentle. "If you hadn't saved me two years ago, I'd be dead now."So don't talk about breaking up. I'll keep my promise."Once I start at the hospital, we'll get married."She moved to take my hand but recoiled at the sight of dirt and dried blood. I forced a smile and hid my hand, matching her gesture.Clara paid to settle everything, and the police released me.On the ride home, she stared out the window, avoiding my gaze. At our building, she tipped the driver generously to help me into my wheelchair and up to our apartment.As she rushed t

Caleb?I stared at Clara in disbelief, my legs jerking in panic. The sudden ability to move them filled me with shock and joy. Looking back at Clara, conflicting emotions surged through me.Clara had gone to such lengths to kill me and use my heart to save the man she loved most—Caleb Carter. But now, inhabiting Caleb's body was the very person she'd despised and betrayed.I remembered vividly the steel pipe striking my head.Now fate had given me a second chance, and I intended to make Clara feel the same betrayal she'd inflicted on me.Noticing my silence, Clara touched my head gently. Her cool fingers brushed my forehead, smoothing my hair. She pulled the blanket up carefully, her eyes full of love. "Are you uncomfortable?" she asked softly."Even though Leon's heart was a perfect match, rejection is still possible. Tell me if anything feels wrong."Looking at her face, rage bubbled up inside me. She'd been cold and distant when we were together, but now, with Caleb's face, s

Our old apartment was near Clara's hospital. After my discharge, she suggested staying there until we married and moved somewhere new. I agreed readily - perfect for my plans for revenge.Clara helped me through the doorway. Immediately, I noticed the blood stains still marking the floor. Looking at those dark splotches, I could picture Clara and Caleb beating me until I was brain dead, then dragging my body away to hide their crime."What's wrong? Why aren't you going in?" Clara nudged me."I've cleared out all of Leon's things," she said with a reassuring smile. "Fresh sheets, new covers, and those light-colored curtains you love. I cleaned everything last night - we can sleep in the master bedroom tonight.""I even used the same detergent you like. Go see if you approve."Clara guided me toward the bedroom. Seeing the freshly decorated room, I gripped the doorframe tightly.In our five years together, Clara rarely lifted a finger around the house. Even when I was swamped with

After Clara left, I contacted a dating service manager, requesting a woman meeting specific criteria. They quickly sent me three profiles.I chose the oldest - average-looking but clearly desperate for money.As I called her, Clara texted me, saying she had a free afternoon and wanted to meet for lunch.I stared at her message, gripping my phone tighter. "Let's meet at the restaurant near the hospital," I replied.Then, into the phone, I said, "Follow the plan, and you'll get your payment."She agreed immediately.After hanging up, I sent Clara a simple "Okay."Seeing her cheerful reply, I pocketed Caleb's phone and changed into one of the new outfits Clara had bought me.Before leaving, I retrieved Leon's phone from the bottom drawer. I needed it to ensure Leon's revenge.At the restaurant, the woman - Rebecca Miller - was already waiting.We exchanged pleasantries, and I led her to a window table.Rebecca eyed me hungrily. "If I'd known you were this handsome, I wouldn't h
