    It didn't take long for me to understand what Evelyn was planning.A lot of people showed up on the wedding day.By then, many of them had heard that I was dead.The way they looked at Evelyn was strange.But she acted as though she didn't notice.She continued greeting guests as the bride.It took me a while to realize something was wrong.Julian, the groom, was nowhere to be seen.Eventually, everyone else noticed too.People started looking for him, and several guests went up to Evelyn to ask if she knew where he was.Before she could answer, a video suddenly began playing on the giant screen at the front of the venue.As the video continued, the guests' eyes widened.The looks they gave Evelyn gradually turned to sympathy.And then I finally understood.This was the evidence I'd been planning to give her that night.Proof that Julian had been lying to her all along.His return had been a scam from the very beginning.He had never been terminally ill.He had only c

    Evelyn looked up at him.For the first time, doubt flickered in her eyes."Do you really love me?"Julian nodded firmly."Of course I do. I've dreamed about being with you all these years.""Then why didn't you ever come back from overseas?" Evelyn asked.Julian paused."I was working to earn money for your treatment."Evelyn pressed him again."When you couldn't reach me, shouldn't your first thought have been to keep trying until you did?"I couldn't help feeling surprised.So Evelyn was still capable of questioning him after all.Julian clearly hadn't expected her to suddenly start doubting him either.His expression turned wounded, and even his voice softened."Evelyn, why are you being so harsh with me today?""I know you're upset because Marcus died, but you can't just start doubting someone who loves you.""When you treat me like this, it really hurts."Evelyn stared at him blankly.Her pale lips parted slightly.In the end, she only said,"You should go."J

    I figured our lives would probably never cross again.I'd assumed that even if Evelyn eventually found out I was dead, it wouldn't be until much later.I was wrong.It didn't take long at all.As the wedding approached, Julian kept insisting he was healthy enough to go through with the wedding as planned.Evelyn still wasn't convinced.She practically dragged him to the hospital for a checkup.While she waited for him to come out of the exam room, she wandered over to a bulletin board in the hallway out of boredom.A newly posted notice listed people the hospital wanted to thank.At first, Evelyn barely paid attention.Then her eyes landed on the section thanking body donors.And she saw my name.Her expression changed immediately.I'd thought she would dismiss it as a coincidence.Instead, she left Julian in the exam room and hurried straight to the front desk.She gave the nurse my name."Can I see him?"There was confusion and unease in her eyes.The nurse shook he

    My coworker sighed."We tried to put in a good word for him too, but there was nothing we could do. The owner cares a lot more about an employee's personal conduct than their performance."After a few more polite words, he ended the call.Evelyn stood there in a daze.Her expression was blank.When she finally came back to herself, her eyes were red.She called me again.Still no answer.Julian stepped out of the room next door.He had clearly heard the entire conversation.Out of Evelyn's sight, his dark eyes flickered.Then he spoke softly."Marcus never told you he lost his job?""I could understand him hiding it from other people, but why would he hide something like that from his own wife?"That single question wiped away the guilt that had just appeared in Evelyn's eyes.She clenched her jaw."How did he become like this? He was never like this before."Julian picked up his phone."Maybe he always was.""Maybe he just hid it well because he wanted to get close

    I'd deleted her number too.Evelyn finally lost her temper.She was just about to explode when her phone chimed.She hurried back to the messaging app, only to see a notification that the two-hundred-dollar transfer had been automatically refunded after going unclaimed for twenty-four hours.She froze.It seemed to finally dawn on her why I hadn't checked into a hotel."But there's no way he doesn't even have two hundred dollars on him, right?" I heard her mutter.I would've laughed if I still could.Unfortunately, I was already dead.If I hadn't been, I would've reminded her that every card I owned was in her hands.She'd even disabled all my credit accounts because she was worried I'd spend irresponsibly.She'd always kept a tight grip on my money.Even my monthly allowance had been calculated down to the money I spent on cigarettes.Forget two hundred dollars.I didn't have two cents to my name.She should've known that.But apparently, she didn't want to think about

    "That can't be right. He only got shoved. How could he just stop breathing?"Someone nearby sounded confused.Others chimed in, saying I might have passed out and that someone should start CPR.Evelyn's expression turned complicated.Her brows drew together as she finally turned around and headed back toward the crowd surrounding me.She was almost there when her phone buzzed again.A message from Julian."Evelyn, come back. Hurry."The second she saw it, panic flashed across her face.She didn't look at me again.She turned and rushed out of the restaurant.She drove home at breakneck speed.The moment she reached the apartment, she started calling Julian's name as she threw open the door.For one second, the sight left me strangely dazed.Evelyn had once worried about me like that too.Years ago, when I was overseas on a business trip, my phone was stolen.Before I'd even had time to replace it, Evelyn showed up that very night, breathless and drenched in sweat.The
