Report
Two years after the death of my husband, John Foster, I get a video call from him—except it's him from five years in the future. "John! You're still alive! Tell me where you are. I'm coming now to bring you home!" Crying tears of joy, I scramble to pick up the car keys I dropped, only to hear him say, "Actually, I faked my death to be with your friend…" As my mind goes blank, he continues to tell me everything as if none of it is a big deal. "I attended my funeral. The whole time you were crying beside my casket, I was in the back room with Adaline, getting it on with her. You thought her eyes were red because she was crying in grief. "Oh, my mother and our son know that I faked my death, too. Every year, they've found all kinds of excuses to come spend time with us instead…" My blood turns cold. My hand shakes as I clutch the phone. Meanwhile, John exhales, looking like he has taken a load off his chest. "I've already told you the truth about everything now, Cecilia, so it's up to you whether you want to continue living like a widow."

Caleb yanked John's hands off and sneered. "What are you doing, John? Are you trying to win back the wife you faked your death to leave?"John's expression turned ugly. "That's between my wife and me. It has nothing to do with you! I'm warning you! Give Cece back to me, or—""Or what?" Caleb cut him off with a scoff. "Do you think you're still the powerful CEO you used to be, John? I can crush you now as easily as I can squash a bug. Also, do I need to remind you that Cecilia is no longer your wife?"John was livid, his fists clenching, but he couldn't refute Caleb. He pushed Caleb aside in fury and shouted, "Cece, I know you can hear me! I'm sorry. I was wrong. I know I made a terrible mistake."I started regretting everything from the moment you left. You were always so good to me. You loved me so much. How could I have been so cruel as to hurt you like that?"It's not true that I don't have any feelings for you, Cece. I love you. What I feel for Addy is just an obsession from n

John stood outside the sanatorium gates for a full four hours. Everyone who passed by would look at him curiously.I let out a long sigh.Just as I was about to go downstairs and settle things with him once and for all, Adaline suddenly appeared.Her hair was a mess. She had a jagged scar on her forehead that wasn't very nice to look at. One of her feet was bare and bleeding after getting scraped raw by the gravel. She left bloody footprints behind her.She grabbed John's arm, her words tumbling out almost incoherently. "Darling, why aren't you going home? Where's the baby? Where's our baby? What are you doing here? Do you have another woman? Are you abandoning me? I won't act crazy anymore, so don't leave me, please?"But at the very next second, she shoved him away. "No! I have to return you to Cece. I can't take you away from her! Where's Cece? Cece's sick. She must be in a lot of pain. I have to find her. I have to be with her!"John seized her to stop her from flailing aroun

The 32-year-old John was also doing everything he could to find me. He spent all his time away from home, leaving at the crack of dawn and returning long after night had fallen.As a result, he didn't notice that Greta was sick in bed, Henry had become painfully skinny, and Adaline had lost her sanity.Eventually, he found the private sanatorium where I was staying.Meanwhile, the 27-year-old John also spent five years looking for me before eventually learning of my whereabouts from one of his fellow deliverymen.Both Johns were ecstatic as they rushed to the sanatorium.At the entrance, they saw each other and froze in shock. Beneath the fading glow of the setting sun, the two identical men came face to face.The timelines seemed to warp and dissipate at the collision. After a flash of light, the two timelines united into one.Like magnets drawn together, the 27-year-old John and the 32-year-old John were pulled together by an overwhelming force, merging them into one.Their m

Greta, who'd just said she would kill me, froze. Henry, who had been sitting on the floor playing with his robot, immediately burst into tears. He ran over and wrapped his arms around John's leg."Where's Mom? Where is she? I want Mom!"Greta's face turned pale, disbelief written all over it."How is that possible? She just stole our company and our house! How can she suddenly be dying? Is she just faking it? Is she trying to gain your sympathy and win you back? She was perfectly fine all along. This whole time, she has…"Her voice faltered abruptly as she recalled what I had to do after taking over the company. To earn the industry's respect, I'd gone to every business gathering, offering toasts and drinking myself silly.She thought about how I'd often gone without eating when I got busy. I'd even gone for three entire days without a meal once.There had been many occasions when I fainted from gastritis and had to be taken to the hospital, but I would end up leaving the hospi

John froze. Adaline looked as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, all she managed was a tearful "I'm sorry."Henry was busy cheering in excitement, while Greta simply scoffed. "This should've happened ages ago. Addy was always meant to be Mrs. Foster!"This whole time, Greta had refuse

My mind went completely blank, and my throat felt all clogged up."What did you say?" I asked.John froze, realizing that he'd let the truth slip out by accident. Pursing his lips, he hesitated for a few seconds before coming clean."Addy was the one who arranged for you to be pushed down the sta

I stood outside the house, looking through the window, taking in the cozy dining room.John, my husband who'd supposedly died two years ago, was sitting in front of a birthday cake. Adaline, my dear friend who claimed she'd gone abroad for work, placed a birthday hat on him.Greta Parker, my mothe

I crumpled to the floor, feeling like all the strength had been sapped out of me.John Foster frowned as he reminded me, "Cece, your foot is bleeding…"Only then did I notice the bloody footprints across the floor.In my rush to head out the door, I had knocked over a wine bottle, and the glass s
