Chapter 1

A newly repaired elevator malfunctioned after just two days, killing someone. The news shook all of Oleta.My husband, Anthony Hamilton, was the head of elevator maintenance. Because of the accident, his supervisor called him in for questioning.Once it was done, he stepped out of the office.Maybe it was my lingering obsession, but my soul broke free from my body and drifted to his side.He strode into his office with a sullen expression. A woman with perfect makeup showed up."Anthony," she called out, her soft voice soothing him instantly.But my heart sank as I saw her face. It was Marina Dotson, his childhood sweetheart.Anthony tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, his tone dripping with affection."Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest at home?" he said.Marina pouted. "I missed you, so I came by. Where's my birthday gift?"He crooked his finger and brushed her nose. "I've had it ready for ages."Floating behind them, I watched him produce a bracelet from

Marina naturally grabbed his hands, asking innocently, "Do you think Caitlin would be upset and kick me out if I stayed?"Anthony chuckled, looking at her tenderly. "I'm the man of the house. She's got no say. Stay as long as you want."I caught the smug glint in her eyes, feeling a pang of regret.I used to be a hotshot in the business world, pulling in millions a year.For our little family, I quit. For him, I learned to cook, burning and cutting my hands countless times.Marina's voice pulled me back. She tugged his arm, whining, "I want some pastries.""Two years of eating them, and you're still not sick of them?" he teased.She shook her head. "Caitlin makes them so good. I can't get enough."That was when I realized all those pastries I made for Anthony had ended up in her stomach."Alright, I'll call her and get her home to make some," he said.Marina threw herself into his arms. "You're the best."Anthony rubbed her cheek. "Anything to make you happy."He dialed my

"Caitlin is getting crafty, bribing the police to fake this," Marina smirked. "Don't buy it. How could she be dead?"The police officer glanced at her. "You can come identify the body if you want."I tagged along, forced to see my corpse.It was gruesome. My face was smashed, bloated from sewage. Even though the coroner had cleaned off the filth, the stench from my body was still intense.Marina clung to Anthony. "This is scary. Let's get out of here. Maybe Caitlin hired actors to mess with you. Remember that picture of her with another guy last night?"I couldn't believe her gall, lying through her teeth in front of everyone.A coroner stepped forward. "If you're not family, please get out."She tugged at Anthony's sleeve. "Let's leave."But his face was stony. In the next instant, he shook her off.She stumbled and fell. "Anthony?"He ignored her, stepping closer to my body.The police officer handed him a bag with my wedding ring and anklet.He crumpled, sobbing into his

Anthony raised his head and glared at her.Marina cowered. "Pictures of the dead are bad mojo. They'll ruin our luck."She stepped closer. "If you want pictures, we'll take new ones tomorrow. I know a guy who takes amazing wedding shots."His eyes burned red. "Get out!" She froze, then whimpered, "Why are you so mean today?"Once, he'd hug her. Now he didn't even glance her way, fussing over the scraps.Unable to get his attention all to herself, Marina stormed off in a huff.That night, Anthony stayed up, finishing the puzzle by dawn. Tears streaked his face again.Suddenly, a gust scattered some pieces out the window."No!" he screamed, lunging over.For a moment, I hoped he would fall over and drop dead.Sadly, he only leaned out, watching those pieces go with the wind.Looking at the remaining fragments on the floor, he broke down.His tears fell on the pictures, staining them. The scene made me frown.He taped them up and tucked them into an album. Returning to his

Chapter 5

It turned out Marina had blocked my calls.Still, it didn't erase Anthony's cruel words when he had finally answered the phone.If he'd shown up that day, maybe I'd have lived.He was the expert, after all. But instead, he was the one who pushed me into that abyss.He was in no position to blame others now.Ivy begged him to stop, and he finally let go just as Marina thought she'd die.She bolted out of the room without a second thought, while Anthony slumped back onto the floor.A week later, the accident report was dropped.His leader called him in and threw the report at him. "If you'd checked it properly two days before, this wouldn't have happened. You killed your wife."He stumbled, his hands shaking as he read it.Turned out, in the last minutes of the inspection, Marina had called, and he had wrapped up his work without pushing the final button.To rush to her, he had signed off randomly. His team had assumed it was done, so they hadn't asked about it.That tiny scr

Chapter 6

"If you hadn't egged me on, I wouldn't have done that," Marina screamed. "It was you. You killed Caitlin. You're the murderer."Anthony suddenly laughed, smacking himself. He wasn't holding back. I could see his cheeks swell up red even from a distance.He dropped to his knees. "You're right. I killed the woman who loved me. Her blood's on my hands. I'm a murderer."I rolled my eyes, and he pulled out his wedding ring, which he had taken off since Marina showed up.Trembling, he slipped it back on his finger and kissed it."Caitlin, I'll find you," he murmured.I backed off, grossed out.While he wallowed in his pain, Marina tried crawling away.He caught her moving and yanked her back by the hair, dragging her to the elevator.He fiddled with it, and the doors creaked open.I peeked inside, curious.What I saw shocked me. The shaft was filled with nasty, stinking sewage.I had a hunch about what he was planning.Marina paled further. "I'm sorry. Forgive me. Even if I di
