All Chapters of The Honeymoon of Death: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

"Caroline, why are you calling again?" Derrick Glover's familiar voice came through the line.He continued, "Emery already told me everything! Don't be so petty. It's just one trip. "Why make up nonsense about your house catching fire? That's bad luck! Young people need to stop messing around with stuff like that!"Derrick was one of Emery's closest friends from the fire department and a die-hard supporter of Emery's first marriage to Sasha Woods. To him and others like him, I was just the wicked woman who had come between their "fairytale love story." Since Sasha suddenly returned to town, Emery had been spending less and less time at home. Even when Luna had a high fever a few nights ago, he still refused to leave Sasha's place, where he was staying.Emery had gone out of his way to make me look like a nagging, controlling wife. In my past life, I always wondered why his friends hated me despite how well I treated them—cooking meals, buying groceries, and giving them all the s

The doctor explained, "We found a significant amount of sedatives in the children's systems. If it was just for a nap, this dosage is highly suspicious. We have already contacted the police to investigate possible child endangerment."With a brief nod, the doctor left, leaving me frozen in shock. Memories of my previous life came rushing back. Emery had rescued the kids and immediately rushed off to find Sasha on that island. I had stayed by Luna and Liam's side all night, wondering why they had slept so long when their naps usually lasted only two hours. I had dismissed it back then, thinking they had been in shock from the fire, but now I knew there was more to it.This time, I was determined to uncover the truth. Just then, my phone rang."Caroline! What the hell were you doing with the kids? Did you set that fire on purpose?" Emery's furious voice boomed through the line.He continued, "Great! Now everyone's calling you some 'hero mom' while I'm the 'deadbeat dad'. Are you ha

The police took notes while facing Sasha. Still sniffling, she mumbled with an air of innocence, "I wasn't doing anything this morning. I was just at home waiting for Emery to pick me up for our island vacation."Her eyes flickered nervously as she spoke, which betrayed her unease."You're saying you were home the entire morning until noon and didn't leave the house?" the officer pressed."Yes," she replied quickly."If that's the case, do you admit that the person in this footage is you?" The officer brought up the surveillance video again.Sasha's face paled as she watched the clip. Her panic was evident. She glanced at Emery while silently pleading for help.Emery's expression wavered. He recognized her in the footage but was desperate to hear otherwise. "Sasha, is that you? Just tell me it isn't, and I'll believe you!" His grip on her arm tightened involuntarily."Emery, I don't know how this happened!" she cried dramatically. "You know me—I'm afraid of loud noises, let alon

"I'm sorry. Please accept my condolences," the doctor said quietly as he stepped out of the intensive care unit, then walked away without another word.Sasha's wails filled the corridor instantly. "My babies! My poor babies! You murderer! Give me back my children!"She lunged at me and tried to grab my clothes, but I instinctively stepped back. My mind was buzzing. I could still remember holding Luna and Liam earlier. I remembered feeling the warmth of their small bodies. And now, they were gone. They left this world without warning.I moved toward the door, wanting to see them one last time. However, Emery grabbed me by the arm and violently shoved me onto a chair."Caroline, you evil bitch! I'll kill you!" he roared and swung a fist at me.There was no time to dodge. I shut my eyes tightly, bracing for the impact, but the blow never came. When I opened my eyes, I saw that a police officer had intervened. He restrained Emery."Mr. Fike, calm down. If you can't control your emo
