Buried Love: My Posthumous Revenge

Ethan was so stunned that he tripped over his words. "W-Why is there a sudden demolition? Who's behind it? What is it for?"The property manager answered, "Hades Corporation has set its sights on this land. They're planning to turn it into a commercial street."The words hit me like a thunderbolt. So this was Audrey's doing!…Ethan didn't sleep a wink that night, and neither did I.Early the next morning, he stood at the door for a long time before finally gathering the courage to step out. I drifted along behind him as he made his way to the Hades Corporation building.The receptionist told him he needed an appointment, so he pleaded until she finally agreed to at least check with Audrey.When Sarah brought him into Audrey's office, the latter didn't even lift her head. Instead, she kept her eyes on her documents as she asked, "What's up?"He begged in a low, desperate voice, "Audrey, for the sake of our past, please don't tear that house down. It's where Lucas and I grew up,

As Clara watched Audrey, she scoffed. "What? Don't you know?"He's dead as a doornail by now, but you were too busy cuddling with your fiance to notice. Speaking of which, Lucas loved you so much that he didn't want you to be sad even when he was dying."Audrey repeatedly shook her head in disbelief before turning around and fleeing the bar in a daze.When I followed her out into the cool night air, I saw that she had collapsed onto a bench by the side of the road. She was silent, staring blankly at the relentless flow of traffic.It was then that I realized that this was the street we used to frequent back then.Back then, fresh out of college, Audrey was hell-bent on starting her own company. I offered to invest, but she refused, saying she didn't want to use my money. So, I secretly invested as a shareholder.To scale up, she needed more shareholders, so I spent weeks persuading my friends in the business circle to invest in her company. Little by little, her company finally f

Audrey suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed her phone to call the project supervisor. "Mr. Cole, stop the demolition now!"A deafening rumble of machinery came from the other end of the line as the project supervisor told her that the work was ongoing.Audrey shot to her feet and flagged down a cab. She was heading straight to the demolition site. But the more urgent the situation was, the more the world seemed to work against her. A traffic jam brought her to a halt just half a mile away from the site. With such heavy traffic, it would take at least 30 minutes before the cars would continue moving.Audrey couldn't wait. She pushed the door open and kicked off her heels. She ran toward my home, or to be exact, our previous home.As someone who prized her dignity above all, she was now oblivious to all the stares. Passerby whispered that she'd lost her mind. Even with her desperate sprint, she didn't make it in time. By the time she arrived, the apartment building w

Audrey's POVMy name was Audrey Hades. I was told that Mom chose it, hoping I'd grow up with noble strength and know how to cherish what I had. However, I didn't and lost the man I loved most.When I first learned the truth, I thought I'd lost my mind. I went days without sleep and couldn't shake the nagging feeling that Lucas hadn't left. He was still here, watching over me and staying with me.I began talking to the empty air, refusing food and water. I'd heard that in a state of delirium, you might see the important people you could never see again.It was true. I saw Lucas, looking just as handsome as before and wearing the college jacket I once gave him. I supposed that in death, one would return to the best version of oneself.But he never smiled or talked to me. All he did was look at me.I reached out and tried to grab him, only to find my fingers passing right through him.I wanted to ask if he still hated me, but I was too afraid to voice the question. I was terrifie
