Rachel’s POV

When we reached home, Dave stopped me at the door. His lips curved into a mischievous smile.

“Close your eyes,” Dave whispered.

I blinked at him, confused. “Why?”

“Just trust me.” His tone was firm but playful, the kind of voice that never left room for arguments.

I sighed, a little irritated. “Dave, I’m not in the mood—”

He touched my lips gently. “Please, Rachel. Close them.”

Against my better judgment, I obeyed. Darkness filled my vision. His hand guided me forward, steady and

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 73: The Last Thread

    Rachel’s POVThe moment I felt Josh’s arms wrap around me from behind, my entire body went rigid, and for one terrifying second I could not understand what was happening because I had spent the entire day trying to clear my mind, trying to convince myself that I had finally escaped the chaos waiting for me back home, only to feel the same kind of unwanted familiarity invading my space again. I turned around sharply and shoved him away with every ounce of strength I had, my chest rising and falling as anger flooded through me. “What the hell do you think you are doing?” I demanded, my voice shaking with fury. Josh barely moved, and instead of looking ashamed, he smiled at me with that same arrogant expression that had once made me question whether there was ever a genuine side to him. “Oh, so you still have that fire in you,” he said, rubbing his cheek as though my slap had amused him rather than offended him. I stared at him in disbelief, wondering how some

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 72

    Rachel’s POVBy the time I arrived at the airport, I had already made up my mind that I was not going to look back, because if I allowed myself to think about everything I had left behind, I knew my heart would become heavy again and I would start questioning whether leaving my children, even temporarily, was the right thing to do, but deep inside me I knew that I needed those two months more than I had ever needed anything in my life, because I was exhausted from constantly being pulled between people who claimed to love me and people who had spent years finding new ways to hurt meI stepped out of the car with my handbag over my shoulder while one of the airport attendants came forward to help with my luggage, and for a moment I simply stood there looking at the aircraft waiting ahead of me, feeling a strange mixture of nervousness and excitement because this was not just another business trip, this was the first time I was deliberately choosing distance from everything that had bee

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   chapter 71

    Rachel pov I woke up that morning with a strange feeling in my chest, and for the first time in days, I realized I was actually excited about something. I had spent so much time crying, fighting, worrying, and trying to understand how everything in my life had gone so wrong that I had almost forgotten what it felt like to wake up and look forward to a new day, but that morning was different because I knew I was leaving, even if it was only for a while, and the thought of being somewhere far away from Dave, Betty, Nathan, and all the painful memories made me feel like I could finally breathe again. I sat on the edge of my bed for a moment and looked around the room, wondering how many things had changed in such a short time, because this room had once felt like a place where I could hide from the world, but now it only reminded me of everything I had lost and everything I had survived.I slowly got out of bed, freshened up, dressed, and walked downstairs, and when I entered

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 70

    Rachel’s POVI drove straight to the shopping mall after leaving Dave behind, and although my hands were still trembling slightly from everything that had happened, I kept my eyes on the road and refused to look back because I knew that if I allowed myself to think about his face, the desperation in his voice, or the way he had stood there watching me drive away, my heart might betray me again.I had spent enough time crying over him. l had spent enough time trying to understand why the man I loved had done the things he did, and right now, I did not want another explanation, another apology, or another desperate promise that things would somehow become different. When I finally arrived at the mall, I parked my car and stepped out, taking a deep breath before walking inside. The place was crowded, filled with people moving from one store to another, couples holding hands, mothers walking behind their children, young girls laughing together, and shoppers carrying bags filled

    Rachel’s POVMy mother’s body went limp before my eyes, and for a moment I could not understand what I was seeing because everything had happened so quickly. One second she had been standing there listening to Nathan tell my father the truth about Dave, and the next her eyes rolled back and her body collapsed onto the floor, making my heart stop as I screamed her name and rushed toward her.“Mom!”My father moved faster than I had ever seen him move, catching her before her head could hit the floor and lowering her carefully onto the sofa while I stood there shaking, tears running freely down my face as I held one of the twins against my chest.“Call the doctor,” I cried, my voice breaking. “Dad, please, call the doctor.” “I’m calling him now, baby girl,” he said, already pulling his phone from his pocket with trembling fingers. “Just stay calm, your mother is going to be fine.” I wanted to believe him, I desperately wanted to believe him, cause i don't want anythi

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 68 — The Truth Reaches Home

    Rachel's POV I drove without knowing where I was going at first, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my fingers hurt, while tears continued sliding down my cheeks no matter how many times I wiped them away, because every time I thought I had finally reached the worst part of my life, another truth appeared and broke something inside me that I had thought was already beyond repair. Dave's face kept appearing in my mind. The way he had looked at me when Betty exposed him, the tears in his eyes when he fell to his knees, the way his voice trembled when he begged me to listen, and most painfully, the way I had still leaned down and kissed him even after learning that he had been responsible for the destruction of my marriage to Nathan. I pressed my lips together as another sob escaped me. Why did I still love him? Why, after everything he had done, did my heart still run toward him when my mind was screaming that I should run away? I didn't have an answer, an
