All Chapters of A Fine Line Between Life and Death: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My body was discovered three days after my death by a janitor. All of my limbs were there, but my head was missing.Gavin Hart was assigned to restore my corpse. It was no easy task. I had been brutally dismembered. The fragments were scattered like a macabre puzzle, and the reconstruction process required painstaking precision to fit each part back into its proper place. He exhaled sharply. "This woman died a terrible death. I've never seen a corpse this mutilated before." His assistant, Steven Brown, carefully piecing my abdomen together, sighed. "She was pregnant. The baby was already formed. Two lives lost… What a tragedy." I hovered in the air and silently watched Gavin's back. He didn't recognize me. Seven years of love, countless nights spent in each other's arms, yet he couldn't even recognize my body. I wondered what expression he would make when he finally found my head and realized who I was.Gavin turned over what was left of my back, stitching up the deep, crisscro

Chloe stayed over at my place that night and invited Gavin to watch a romantic movie. On-screen, the lead couple embraced passionately, their love filling the room with an air of intimacy.Chloe's eyes sparkled with anticipation. She turned to look at Gavin, waiting—hoping—for something—anything.But Gavin wasn't watching the movie. He was staring at his phone, his fingers gently tracing my profile picture.Chloe's expression darkened instantly. She forced a smile, about to say something, but Gavin spoke before she could.He rubbed his temples, his voice lacing with exhaustion. "Chloe, I'm heading to bed. You can finish the movie alone. Let me know if you need anything." Chloe clenched her fists but kept her tone light. "Alright, Gavin. Rest well." As soon as he shut the bedroom door, her mask cracked. She grabbed a stuffed animal from the couch, her fingers tightening around its neck. "Die! Sandra, you should just die!" She dug her nails into the fabric, strangling it befo

When Gavin regained consciousness, he found Chloe sitting by his hospital bed. Her eyes were swollen from crying. Between sobs, she choked out, "Gavin, I knew everything about Sandra… It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have run away from home… and she wouldn't have been…" Her emotional words, meant to comfort, shattered the last vestiges of Gavin's already broken mind. I watched him anxiously, but he didn't react at all. His expression remained unchanged—completely numb. His eyes, once sharp and full of life, were now empty, lifeless. It was as if Chloe wasn't even there.Desperate, she reached for his hand, her voice rising in panic. "Gavin, please! Say something! It's me, Chloe!" No matter how much she cried or pleaded, Gavin remained motionless. Then, with a deafening bang, the door burst open."Gavin! How could you do this to my daughter?" My parents stormed in, their faces streaked with tears. For the first time since waking up, a flicker of awaren

Throughout my entire hospital stay, Gavin never left Chloe's side. He ignored me completely. He resented me for hurting her leg. No matter how many times I tried to explain, his patience with me wore thinner and thinner. "Sandra, do you even hear yourself? Do you really think this makes sense? Chloe is a young lady. Are you seriously saying she would go as far as tearing her own ligament just to frame you? That's impossible!" I fell silent. If I hadn't checked the security footage multiple times, if I hadn't dissected every second of that moment, I wouldn't have believed it either.But the more impossible it seemed, the more terrifying the truth became. She was ruthless—so ruthless that she was willing to destroy herself to take me down. Gavin had lost all patience with me. "Just let it go, Sandra. Stop bringing it up. Stop attacking Chloe. She's like a sister to me, and you two have to see each other all the time. Can't you just get along?" Chloe had always been the favor

"Why did you have to fall in love with Sandra?" Chloe screamed. "She only met you first—if I had met you first, we would be the ones getting married!" Then, suddenly, she burst into laughter. "It's a good thing she's dead. Hahaha! She should have died long ago. As long as you're alive, you'll forget Sandra completely. And then, you'll be mine!" Gavin stared at her, lost and dazed. His mind was too broken to process what she was saying. Chloe smiled, full of certainty, as if victory was already in her grasp. "Gavin, I love you. I would do anything to have you. You have no idea how much I've sacrificed. Just to drive a wedge between you and Sandra, I tore my own ligament, leaving myself permanently disabled. She was right about me. My feelings for you were never just sibling affection." She clutched his hand tightly, her voice with emotion, "It's love, Gavin. I love you." Gavin blinked, confused. Then, suddenly, he smiled. "Sandra, I love you too." Chloe's face twisted in fur
