Dave’s POV

The doctor stared at me like he didn’t understand what I’d just said.

“So,” he asked slowly, “what exactly are you saying, sir?”

I didn’t blink. “Take everything you need,” I said, my voice rough. “My kidney. My blood. My life if that’s what it takes.”

There was a pause. A heavy one.

He nodded. “Alright. We’ll run the compatibility test. Please follow us.”

I followed them down the white corridor like a man walking toward judgment. Machines beeped. Gloves snapped. Cold metal touched my skin as they drew blood.

I watched the doctor’s face while he studied the screen.

His brows pulled together.

My heart dropped.

“Check it again,” I said immediately. “You must’ve made a mistake.”

He looked at me. “Sir—”

“Check it again!” I snapped, my voice echoing through the room. “Do it again.”

They did.

I stood there, fists clenched, nails digging into my palms, praying to a God I hadn’t spoken to in years.

The doctor looked up.

Still shaking his head.

“I’m sorry,” he said

    Dave I don’t remember deciding to chase him, but my body and soul.wa t to kill him the moment i got a hold of him, so I just did. The mall lights blur as my car cuts the corner too fast, tires screaming like they know what I’m about to do. Nathan is running actually running through the parking lot like a man who finally understands what fear is. His jacket slips off his shoulder. That was really a pleasant sight for me cause at least let him feel a bit of what i am right now. He almost slipped when he tried to jump over the cart. Good. He’s slower now. I hit the brake so hard my chest slams forward. He turns his back to see if i have giving up or if i was still chasing him. when he saw me running towards him, his eyes went wide open. Security swarms him before I even step out. Two men out of nowhere who called themselves police grab his arms. “Sir, please calm down,” one of them shouts at me. “We’ll handle this—” I step closer. My voice comes out low, steady, not mine. “I nee

    Rachel’s mother's POV The floor was cold against my cheek, but the fire in my body was hotter than pain. I tried to crawl. I don’t even know how my body moved after the first shot, but I dragged myself forward, nails scraping tiles, teeth clenched so hard my jaw hurt. “Please,” I begged, my voice breaking. “They’re just babies.” One of the gunmen turned back, irritation flashing in his eyes. I lunged. He kicked me hard in the stomach. The air left my lungs in a sharp, ugly sound. I folded over, gasping, but still, I reached out. Another kick. This time to my ribs. I screamed. “Enough,” the second gunman said impatiently, already holding one of the twins against his chest. “We have what we came for.” The first man lifted the gun again. “No—!” I cried. The shot rang out. My leg burned like it was on fire. I collapsed fully this time, my body refusing to move, blood soaking into the floor. I watched helplessly as they turned their backs on me. The twins’ cries echoed in

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 46 — The Price of Love

    Dave’s POVMorning came quietly. Too quietly.I woke up with Rachel’s name already on my lips. She was still curled on her side, hair spread across the pillow, her face soft, peaceful. For a second, I smiled.She needs rest, I told myself.I slipped out of bed, took a quick shower, water pounding against my back as my thoughts replayed the night before. The mask party. The chaos. Josh’s words. That look on Rachel’s face when everything collapsed.I dried off fast and went back to the bedroom.She was still sleeping.I walked closer. “Rachel,” I murmured, brushing her hair back gently. No response. I tapped her shoulder lightly. “Hey… wake up, love.”Nothing.My chest tightened.I shook her hand a little more firmly. “Rachel.”Still nothing.Fear hit me like a punch to the gut.“Rachel!” My voice cracked as I shook her harder now. Her body moved with the motion, limp, unresponsive.No. No. No.My hands trembled as I pressed my fingers to her neck, searching desperately for a pulse. I

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 45 — Fractures

    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 breathing shallow but steady. Her lashes fluttered, her face pale in a way I’d never seen before. The twins… God, the twins. My chest tightened just thinking of them at home, waiting for their mother.When the assistant arrived, everything moved fast doors opening, staff whispering, tires screeching against the night road. I held Rachel the entire drive, pressing my forehead to hers, murmuring apologies she couldn’t hear.At the hospital, white lights swallowed us. Doctors spoke in calm voices, monitors beeped, questions were asked, and answered. Tests. Blood work. IV fluids.“She’s exhausted, mild intoxication. Shock,” the doctor said finally. “She’ll be fine, but she needs rest. No stress

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 44 – The Secret Between the Masks

    Dave’s POVThe laughter, the lights, the noise it all blurred.The mask party had gone from wild to dizzying, and I could barely tell if I was drunk or if the champagne had been spiked. My head spun, but one thing was clear I couldn’t find Rachel.Betty appeared beside me, dressed in black silk, her mask glittering under the dim chandeliers.She smiled the kind of smile that always meant trouble. “You look tense, Dave,” she said, brushing a hand across my chest.“I’m fine,” I muttered, my voice thick from the drink. “Just… looking for Rachel.”She laughed, low and slow. “Rachel is fine. Relax, have a drink with me.”I tried to pull away, but she caught my tie, tugging me closer until I could feel her breath on my face.Something felt off too close, too intimate.“Betty…” I warned.She didn’t stop. Her hand slid to my jaw as she leaned in. Her lips almost touched mine and something inside me snapped awake.I pushed her hard, stumbling back. “You don’t smell like Rachel,” I said, voic
