Chapter 4

Author: Anonymous
My journey home had already taken all of my willpower and strength. My fingers trembled so violently that I couldn't even dial emergency services.

After several failed attempts, I finally managed to call for help.

As I lay on the stretcher, I let the tears I had been holding back for so long flow freely.

Penelope was right. I was a cheap woman who had willingly degraded myself. Someone like me was never good enough for Peter.

But wasn't all my pain and obsessive behavior caused by him?

Everyone had said I was just a pawn in a deal.

But Peter knew better than anyone that that wasn't true. He knew exactly how much my identity and my dignity meant to me. And still, he crushed and mocked everything that I was and held dear, all for a woman who merely looked like his late first love.

Sammy wasn't even Samantha herself.

I believed that if Samantha were looking down from wherever she was, she would struggle to understand Peter's actions.

    From the very beginning, Sammy hadn't approached Peter with pure intentions. Out of all the wealthy CEOs in the world, why was he the one she set her sights on?The simple answer was that Sammy wasn't just anyone. She had been carefully groomed by Penelope as a deliberate replacement for Samantha.Her entire sob story was fake. Her alleged sick mother, gambling father, and tragic life were all fabricated to mirror Samantha's past.Samantha had inherited her mother's illness. Even with Peter's desperate efforts to save her, it was too late. Coincidentally, she died of end-stage liver cancer.Peter couldn't accept her death. He spiraled into a self-destructive mode by smoking and drinking heavily. How he wished he could've died alongside Samantha.He was sick, yet he didn't see any doctors, and his liver ended up in such a horrible state.Penelope wasn't the Sullivans' biological daughter. Peter was the only rightful heir to their legacy.Because of that, the Sullivans were willin

    Sammy didn't know I was dead. She was still looking forward to her wedding with Peter, which was just a week away.Peter accompanied her to pick out the dress, choose the rings, and go through all the motions. But on the day of the wedding, he pulled a disappearing act.Sammy went mad, scouring the city for him.Every media outlet had shown up with cameras rolling to capture what was meant to be the wedding of the century.Now, it became the perfect scoop with the headline, "Groom Vanishes on Wedding Day."And where was the missing groom? He was standing quietly before my gravestone, holding a bouquet of my favorite white roses.His phone vibrated nonstop with calls from Penelope and Sammy. Annoyed, Peter simply hurled his phone into the shallow creek nearby.I winced watching his expensive phone sink to the bottom. After Penelope broke my phone, I couldn't bring myself to buy a new one. But Peter had just tossed away a thousand-dollar phone like a banana peel.A gentle drizz

    What I never expected was that Peter didn't rush to marry Sammy after I died.He even exceeded my expectations by showing up at the very hospital where I had passed.If he hadn't shown the staff a photo of our marriage certificate, they wouldn't even have let him in."When she was dying, you couldn't be bothered to stay by her side. But now that she's dead, you finally show up," the staff remarked scathingly.Her blunt scorn would've sent the old Peter into a rage. But this time, he said nothing and just stood there quietly. He stared intently at my body, which was covered in a white sheet.His voice was so low that even I could barely hear him. "What… is this?"The staff looked at him, confused. "This is Ms. Iverson's body. She even bought her own burial plot.If no one came to claim her within a week, she'd be sent off to be cremated and buried there."Peter said brokenly, "Why didn't she tell me? She was so sick… Why did she shoulder it all alone?"I nearly laughed out loud.

    "Peter, when do you plan on marrying Sammy?" Fabian Evans asked upon getting a little tipsy. "As soon as I finalize the divorce with that woman, I'll marry Sammy," Peter answered smoothly."Isn't it kind of a jinx to get divorced and remarried right away?" Fabian muttered.I sat silently in a corner, cursing under my breath, "You're the jinx! Your whole family is jinxed!"Peter scratched his nose awkwardly. "Don't worry, Fabian. I'll give Sammy the perfect wedding. She won't suffer any form of mistreatment in my household."Fabian relaxed and let out a repulsive, evil laugh.In that moment, I suddenly understood those scenes in movies where the villains feasted, plotting to get their way by stepping on the corpses of the innocent.Then, I noticed Peter's phone light up a few times with a familiar number. It seemed to be the hospital.Without thinking, Peter answered it. He was utterly stunned the moment he heard the words from the other end."Is this Mr. Sullivan? Your wife's

    That evening, my chest suddenly began to seize violently. It felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at my heart. My face paled in agony, but still I endured it in silence.Peter and Sammy's engagement ceremony was being televised. The beautiful scene contrasted brutally with the agony I was experiencing.A nearby patient noticed and hurried over to check on me. "Is it your heart again? Should I call the nurse?"I reached out and held her hand. "It's alright. I'm close to death anyway."She cried out, "How could you say that? You're still so young!"Ignoring me, she rushed to press the emergency call button.But by the time the nurses and doctors arrived, my consciousness was starting to fade into nothingness.In the confusion, I heard vague voices of people speaking to each other."How tragic. Does she have any family?""She's been here over a month all by herself. Not a single visitor. No calls. Nothing.""She looks so young. Life must have been so hard on her.""I've see

    I underwent my first health exam after I had half of my liver removed. When I saw the doctor shaking his head and sighing, strangely, I felt a sense of peace.It was a good thing that I was beyond saving now. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what reason or method I could use to justify dying.The doctor told me gently and helplessly that my body had reached its limit. With some difficulty, he informed me that I had only one more month left to live in this "beautiful" world.But I smiled brightly and replied, "This world was never that beautiful to begin with. Once you peel back what's on the surface, all that's left is hypocrisy and deceit."With what little money I had saved over the years, I bought a burial plot for myself. It was in a tiny rural village, but the cemetery was vast and filled with the memories of others who had passed.That made me feel a little less alone.I spent the rest of my days in the hospital. There was only one last thing left to deal with, and that wa
