Yelena's POV

I sat in an outdoor cafe in a small town by the Mellor Sea, leisurely flipping through a new book I had just bought while I basked in the sunlight and breathed in the pleasing fragrance that wrapped around me. It was coming from the flowers planted on both sides of the street.

Before I realized it, it had been three months since I arrived here.

At that moment, my phone rang.

I hesitated briefly, but then a smile quirked my lips as I accepted the call.

  • Only My Death Can Free Us All   Chapter 9

    Yelena's POVI sat in an outdoor cafe in a small town by the Mellor Sea, leisurely flipping through a new book I had just bought while I basked in the sunlight and breathed in the pleasing fragrance that wrapped around me. It was coming from the flowers planted on both sides of the street.Before I realized it, it had been three months since I arrived here.At that moment, my phone rang.I hesitated briefly, but then a smile quirked my lips as I accepted the call.Immediately, a woman who looked radiant and full of life appeared on the screen. She was standing at the base of a snowy mountain, and despite the wintry white that cloaked her background, she seemed to glow like the warmest sunshine.After taking a good look at me, my future self smiled in satisfaction."Yelena, I knew that you wouldn't really give up on life. Thank you, and congratulations for rewriting our life."Noticing how hale and healthy my future self looked, I felt warm tears gathering in my eyes. I smiled

    The call was cut off, plunging the hospital corridor into a dead silence.Nick didn't know how much time had passed before the doors to the morgue were pushed open from the inside.Natalie stepped out, her body swaying unsteadily as she cradled a small black urn in her arms. With reddened eyes, she spoke up in a choked voice."Nick, Lena is truly gone. All these years, her depression has tormented her, making her life a living hell. In the end, she chose to leave us when we weren't home. She probably did it so that we could be together, right?"As she spoke, she leaned against Nick's shoulder. "She must have realized that we were torturing each other for the past three years, so she decided to use this method to take herself out of the picture. Nick, since Lena did this for us, let's be together from now on and live on for her.""She did this so that we could be together?" Nick snapped his head up to stare at Natalie with bloodshot eyes. He seemed unable to believe that the woma

    Nick rushed toward the hospital as quickly as he could, almost tripping over his own feet as he sprinted down the hospital corridors.With his eyes completely bloodshot, he grabbed the arm of the police officer and yelled hoarsely, "I'm Yelena Swift's family! I want to see her! Take me to her now!"The police officer sighed, a complicated expression on his face. "Mr. Goldberg, you can't see her. Before her death, Ms. Swift left a will stating that if her body was found, no one was to inform her family or friends about it, and the funeral home was to proceed directly with cremation."The cremation ended half an hour ago. This is the only thing she left behind at the scene."Subsequently, the officer handed Nick a phone.With her body cremated, there wasn't any way for Nick to say goodbye. Even after dying, Yelena refused to give him one last chance to see her."No, that's impossible!"Nick staggered back a step before collapsing to the floor.At that moment, the phone Yelena had

    For an entire week, Nick stayed by Natalie's side as they vacationed on the island.However, it was as though he had left his soul behind, as he seemed perpetually distracted. He would also keep checking his phone.Every day, like clockwork, he would send a message to Yelena reminding her to take her medications on time, yet he hadn't gotten a single response from her.Could it be that she was still upset with him?But instead of her usual temper tantrums, this time, her response was so cold and distant. It was completely unlike the Yelena he knew.The unusual silence from her end unsettled Nick deeply, to the point that he failed to hear it when Natalie attempted to talk to him. This had happened several times too.On their last day on the island, they headed for the beach, where it turned out that a dating reality show was being filmed.When the host spotted Nick and Natalie, his eyes lit up. He immediately flagged them down, saying into his microphone, "Hello, sir, ma'am. You

    Two clicks rang out, and the door didn't budge.It had been locked from the inside.Nick furrowed his brow and banged his fist on the door twice."Lena, open the door!"Still, there was no response from inside.A flicker of panic that even Nick himself couldn't identify rose within him.Natalie eyed the tightly shut room door and uttered softly, "Lena is most likely angry. I told you that there was no way she wouldn't be mad at us both leaving at the same time. Maybe we should stay?"At that moment, there was a thump from inside the room.The nervousness in Nick's eyes instantly vanished at the sound, as he assumed that Yelena was throwing things around to vent her feelings again, just like she had in the past three years.In a frosty tone, he called out, "Yelena, even if you're throwing a temper tantrum, you shouldn't take things too far. We don't have the time to waste here with you, so be good and take your medication on time while waiting for us to come back."With that,

    I'd had a miscarriage even before learning that I was pregnant.Nick sat by my bed, his face twisted into a guilty expression."Lena, now really isn't a good time for a baby anyway. Once your illness is a little more stable, we can try for another baby."I stared at him numbly, noticing the faintly relieved look lurking deep in his eyes.This was actually the second child we had lost.Three years ago, after finding out that I was pregnant, Natalie had moved in to take care of me. That was also when she met Nick for the first time.As time went on, Nick began to return home less and less at night. Then, on the night that Natalie also stayed out, I slipped on the bathroom floor and fell, causing me to hemorrhage heavily and lose the baby.It was only after that incident that I discovered evidence of Nick cheating on me, which ended with me on the rooftop.What a cruel joke it was that my two babies and I ultimately became sacrifices for their so-called great love.It was obvious
