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 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

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Betty’s Final Victory

    Chapter 59 Rachel’s POV By the time evening came, I had already made up my mind that I was going to the office, and no matter how many times my father looked at me as though he wanted to argue, I refused to change my decision because there were moments in life when resting was no longer an option and this was one of them. The moment I entered the boardroom, every conversation stopped. Every face turned toward me. I could almost hear the questions running through their minds because only a few hours earlier I had been lying in a hospital bed after surgery, yet here I was standing at the head of the table with my phone in one hand and a thick financial report in the other One of the directors slowly rose from his chair. “Mrs Belira, you should still be resting”. I looked at him and answered. “I know” My voice was calm, but I could hear the exhaustion beneath it. “I also know that while I was lying in that hospital bed, this company did not stop moving, and neither did the

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 58

    RACHEL pov When I opened my eyes, the world felt unfamiliar as though I had been dropped into someone else’s life without warning and for a few seconds. I simply stared at the ceiling, trying to understand why it was white and why it smelled of antiseptic and why my body felt so heavy like something had been carved out of me, not just physically but emotionally. The beeping sound beside me became clearer, and I realized I was in a hospital.I turned my head slowly and the first face I saw was my father’s. He looked older than I remembered from just a few days ago, and that realization alone broke something inside me because my pain was no longer mine alone. it was written across his forehead in deep lines and in the redness of his eyes as though he had not slept at all. and the moment our eyes met, tears rushed out of mine without permission. “Daddy,” I whispered, and my voice sounded small even to me.He leaned forward, immediately taking my hand carefully, and

    DAVE pov “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I never did anything that would hurt Rachel, so shut the hell up.” My voice cracks the air, harsher than I intended, but I am beyond caring about tone or composure . The chains around my wrists bite into my skin as I pull forward. Betty laughed not a soft laugh nor a nervous one, but a loud, mocking one that made he feel more irritated. “Do you really think I don’t know?” she asks, her eyes gleaming in a way that makes something cold slide down my spine. “Do you really think I haven’t known for years?” I stare at her, trying to read her face, trying to understand where this twisted script is coming from, but she is looking at me like she finally has me exactly where she wants me.“You’re the reason Nathan lost his kidney right,” she says slowly, savouring each word as though she’s peeling back my skin. “You were the masked man under the bridge. You were the one who pulled the trigger and shut at Nathan.” For a mome

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 56

    Rachel pov The moment Betty pulled off that mask and I saw her face smiling at me like this was some kind of victory celebration, something inside my chest tore open so violently that I did not even recognize the sound that came out of my mouth. It was not just a scream. It was broken. It was shattered. It was the sound of betrayal taking physical form.“Betty…” My voice trembled uncontrollably, my whole body shaking as tears flooded my eyes. “You… you actually did this to me… you…” My knees felt weak but I was still holding my babies, clutching them so tightly I was afraid I might hurt them, yet terrified that if I loosened my grip even a little, someone would snatch them again. “Oh my God, Betty, why?” I cried. “What have I ever done to you? I thought… I thought we were friends.""""”The word "friends" felt foolish the moment it left my lips.She laughed, not nervously, not regretfully but mockingly. “You stole my man from me,” she said, with her voice sharp and

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 55

    Rachel povThat night felt like it would never end. The hospital room was quiet, but my heart was louder than everything the machines, the footsteps in the hallway, even my own breathing I lay there staring at the ceiling, unable to close my eyes for more than a few seconds because every time. I tried the image and came back to me, my babies crying their tiny bodies shaking while someone hurt them, and I kept asking myself what kind of mother sleeps while her children are in pain My body was exhausted my stitches burned every time I shifted even slightly but the pain did not matter I welcomed it because it reminded me that I was still alive and if I was alive then I could still fight for them Dave was sitting beside me in the chair he had not moved for a long time. I could feel his eyes on me, watching every breath every movement “Babe please try to sleep,” he said softly. I turned my head slowly to look at him. How could I explain that sleep was impossible

    When we got home, the silence felt heavier than the night air outside. The moment we walked through the door, I collapsed on the couch, my head buried in my palms.
