    14 days after they found my body, my soul started to fade little by little, like smoke about to be blown away by the wind. I knew I might disappear soon.However, I couldn't bring myself to leave when I saw Matt sitting in the walk-in freezer.His hair seemed even grayer now, and he had become frighteningly thin. He stayed awake night after night, afraid to sleep in case he couldn't dream of me. When he woke up, he was afraid to open his eyes, terrified that I wouldn't be there in the real world either.Matt just sat quietly beside the coffin, tracing the outline of my face over and over through the glass. "Natalia, the house is so quiet. When are you… going to talk to me?"My heart broke at the sight of him. I didn't know why I'd become a spirit or how much longer I would be able to stay around. But I couldn't help wanting to be with him a little longer.I floated over and sat in the chair beside Matt. Even though I knew I couldn't touch him, I still wanted to be as close to him

  • My Corpse Waited in the Snow   Chapter 8

    At Matt's command, Bernard's prison life became a living hell. His hands and legs were deliberately broken and left to heal on their own. Whenever it rained, the pain got so bad he could barely crawl, but the other inmates still beat him up.To stop him from killing himself, the prison had a medical team on standby around the clock.Bernard was completely broken. He would spend the rest of his life barely surviving in that cell.Matt didn't let him die, nor did he let him go insane. He wanted Bernard to stay fully conscious, living every single day in fear and pain.Seven days after my body was found, Matt held a grand funeral for me. But nothing lay beneath the brand-new tombstone. No urn. No personal belongings.My body was still kept in the walk-in freezer at the estate, the only place where he could still touch me.When the butler asked him about it, Matt merely replied, "Someone once told me that if the dead don't have a tombstone, they won't be able to find their way home.

    Shannon didn't look the slightest bit panicky when the bodyguards brought her in. She even took the time to straighten her collar.Matt sat on the chair opposite her, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Why? We grew up together. When I brought Natalia to you, you smiled and congratulated us. You even gave her a wedding gift."Shannon quietly stared at him before breaking into a laugh. Her usual sweet, charming smile was gone. Now, it was filled with nothing but malice and jealousy."Matt, you want to know why? Because I couldn't stand it! Why is a liar from some backwater village always on your mind? I spent all these years by your side, and I still couldn't compare to her, who was only with you for a few months! "Why did I have to scheme just to marry you, and she didn't have to do anything but still won you over?"Shannon's voice grew sharper. "I worked so hard to become your wife, but you're still constantly pining over that dead woman!"Matt looked at her, his eyes cold. "Is that

    The lights in the forensic lab stayed on all night.Matt sat on a bench in the hallway all night, looking completely lost. He covered his face with both hands, muffled sobs echoing through the empty hall.By the time the sky began to lighten, the door finally opened. The medical examiner stepped out, looking exhausted. He removed his mask and held out a clear evidence bag."Mr. Lewinsky, I believe this is the secret key you reported stolen three years ago."Matt lifted his head abruptly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the bag.The medical examiner's voice grew heavy, with a hint of pity. "We found it… inside your wife. It had been coated with something to protect it from being broken down by her body, then stitched into her lower abdomen. "The wound was deep, and it had clearly festered and healed several times. Someone had forcibly stitched it inside her."That's why Bernard never found it. Your wife had been hiding it inside her body the whole time."Matt reached out to take th

    Inside the bumpy police car, Matt lost control of himself like never before. His body trembled, his fingertips ice-cold. His ears were ringing, and all he could seem to hear was the deafening sound of his own heartbeat.Countless questions flashed through his mind. He wanted to ask me where I'd been all these years, why I'd lied to him, whether he'd treated me badly, whether I was doing okay, and why I hadn't gone back to him. He knew he would've forgiven me for everything if I had just returned to him.Matt rehearsed the words in his head over and over, practicing the expressions and tone he would use.The car finally came to a stop. The villager who called the cops led them up the snowy slope toward a small cabin. Matt stumbled along, desperately trying to keep up with the villager's pace.He couldn't help but ask, "Why would she be living in a place like this?"The villager glanced back at him in confusion, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he sa

    The organization's leader, Bernard, was finally arrested. One of Simon's men tipped off the police and helped them capture him alive.Matt got into the police vehicle and exhaled in relief as the city hall disappeared from view in the rearview mirror. He asked, "What do you need me to do?"The officer beside him replied, "Bernard wants to see you. He said there was something he wanted to discuss with you in private. Since some of his men are still at large, we'd also like him to give us more information. "We appreciate your cooperation, Mr. Lewinsky. We'll have officers monitor the entire conversation and take notes."Matt nodded.The door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and Bernard was inside, wearing a prison uniform, his hands cuffed to the table.He gave Matt a wicked grin. "Mr. Lewinsky, long time no see. I didn't run your company into the ground. It's doing pretty well, isn't it? So why keep coming after me so hard? Can't we just give each other some leeway and
