Melissa’s POV

I tossed my purse onto the couch, still burning from humiliation.

Dave. That arrogant, self-controlled bastard.

I replayed the morning in my head how he’d looked at me, not even a flicker of desire in those storm-gray eyes. The man had turned me down like I was invisible. Even after what I wore. Even after the way I touched him.

I poured myself a glass of wine, gulped it down, and dropped onto the couch.

“Unbelievable,” I muttered. “He wants to play the good husband now? Fine. L

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 65: The Price of Love

    Nathan’s POVWhen I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the white ceiling above me, and for a few seconds I could not remember where I was or why my whole body felt so heavy, but then the pain in my side suddenly hit me so hard that I groaned and tried to move, only to feel a sharp pain travel through my body and force me back against the pillow. I slowly turned my head, and that was when I saw Rachel sitting beside my bed, her eyes swollen from crying, her hands tightly clasped together as she watched me with a worried expression, and the moment I recognized her face, all the fear and confusion inside me turned into anger. “You,” I shouted, my voice rough from the surgery, and Rachel immediately stood up from the chair as if she had been waiting for me to wake up. “Nathan, you are awake,” she whispered, moving closer to me with tears already gathering in her eyes. “Thank God you are awake. I was so scared when they took you into the operating room, I though

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 64 — The Secret That Changed Everything

    Rachel’s POV The moment I saw the ambulance doors open, my heart nearly stopped. I had been sitting in the back of the car, crying and calling Dave's phone over and over again, but nobody had answered me, and when I finally saw the ambulance rushing through the hospital entrance with its siren screaming into the night, I pushed the car door open before the driver had even stopped properly. I cried as I ran toward the nurses pushing the stretcher inside. “Please, save my my husband?” One of the nurses tried to stop me, but I grabbed her arm with trembling fingers, my eyes already filled with tears. “Please , i need to know how we can save him . “Ma’am, you need to calm down. Your husband has suffered a gunshot wound and the doctors are attending to him right now.” I looked toward the stretcher and saw Nathan lying there, his face pale, his clothes covered with blood, and his eyes closed as the doctors and nurses hurried him through the emergency doors. “Nathan!” I screamed, try

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   chapter 64

    Dave’s POV One year later... after dave hired Melissa, I used to believe that once Melissa entered Nathan’s life, everything would happen exactly the way I had planned, and for the first few months, it actually looked that way because she played her part so perfectly that even I sometimes forgot she had been hired to destroy a marriage. She became Nathan’s friend first, the person he could talk to whenever he was angry with Rachel, then she slowly became the woman he searched for whenever he needed comfort, and before long, Nathan had fallen so deeply into her trap that he stopped seeing Rachel as the woman he had once promised to love forever. At first, I was satisfied. Whenever my men brought me updates, I listened while they told me that Nathan was spending more time with Melissa, that he was staying out late, that he was becoming irritated whenever Rachel questioned him, and that the arguments between the married couple were becoming more frequent. I did not have to do any

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   chapter 62

    Dave’s POVThe restaurant was quiet when I arrived, and I deliberately chose one of the private rooms at the back because I did not want anyone interrupting the meeting or asking questions about why a man like me would be sitting across from a woman who had nothing to do with my usual business dealings. I had already made up my mind about what I wanted, but even after making that decision, there was still a small part of me that kept asking whether I was going too far, because destroying another man's marriage simply because I wanted his wife was not something I could explain to anyone without sounding like a madman.But I did not care anymore. I had spent too long watching Nathan walk around with Rachel beside him as if he had won something that belonged to him, and the more I watched them, the more convinced I became that he did not deserve her. He did not appreciate her the way I would, he did not understand how special she was, and yet she gave him everything she had while I was

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 61– The big reveal

    Eight Years Ago Dave's POV Eight years ago, before Rachel and Nathan's marriage finally collapsed, before the divorce papers were signed, before Rachel would ever lie on a hospital bed fighting for her life because of the kidney she would eventually give away, I was already watching from a distance, studying every part of her life and pretending that the obsession I carried inside my chest was nothing more than concern for someone I cared about. I knew Rachel was married to Nathan, and I knew that Nathan loved her deeply, perhaps more deeply than I wanted to admit to myself at the time, but what bothered me most was not the fact that they were together, it was the way Rachel looked at him whenever his name was mentioned, with a softness in her eyes that made me hate Nathan more than anything because I wanted those eyes to look at me instead. I wanted her. I had wanted her for longer than I was willing to admit, and the more I watched her marriage, the more convinced I became that

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 60 The Video

    Dave’s POV The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes the next morning was the unbearable pounding in my head, a deep and painful ache that seemed to spread from the back of my skull down to my neck and through the rest of my body, making me feel as though I had spent the entire night fighting a battle I could barely remember. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, trying to force my mind to remember where I was, but everything seemed blurred and confusing until I felt the mattress shift beside me. My eyes moved toward the sound, and the moment I saw Betty sitting there and staring at me with that satisfied smile on her face, everything came rushing back. I immediately looked away, disgust washing over me as I remembered fragments of what had happened, because even though my memories were incomplete, I knew enough to understand that I had not been myself, and I knew exactly who had made sure I wasn't. She had deliberately taken away my abili

    Dave’s POVMy hands were shaking when I dialled my personal assistant, not from the alcohol anymore that had burned out of my system but from fear, raw, choking fear.“Get the car. Now,” I said. “And clear the nearest private hospital.”I didn’t wait for any questions.Rachel lay against me, her
