I died the night before my wedding to Christopher. But on the wedding day, a giant screen showed photos of me in bed with another man. In a fit of rage, Christopher smashed the screen and got engaged to my sister, Elizabeth. When my father informed him of my disappearance, Christopher sneered. “Disappeared? With the disgusting things she has done, she’s probably too ashamed to show her face!” My brother joined in with a scornful yell. “She hurt Liz, and now she has done such shameless things. I refuse to acknowledge such a wicked sister!” The shock and anger led to a fatal stroke, and my father died right there. Since then, I was despised by everyone in Cloud City. What they did not know was that it was the seemingly gentle Elizabeth who had brutally stabbed me to death and dumped my body in the river. Two months later, a fisherman found my body washed ashore.

Christopher stopped in front of the door to the morgue. He raised his hand to push it open, but he hesitated with his hand frozen in the air.He stared at the door for a long time before finally muttering to himself, “She probably wouldn’t want to see me.”With that, he turned around and slowly walked out of the police station.I hovered beside him, watching as he bought a plane ticket to the northern hemisphere. He was wearing the coat I had gifted to him. It brought back memories.Back then, he had to leave for a few months to study abroad. I did not want him to go, but there was nothing I could do. That day, I went to the beach alone and felt the light breeze from the sea. The sunset was breathtaking.“Naomi, I’m back!” I heard his familiar voice behind me. Tears blurred my vision instantly.I turned around, and there he was—Christopher, wearing that gray coat with his arms wide open for me.I rushed into his arms and the tears I had tried so hard to hold back fin

“It was all Elizabeth’s idea! The photos at the wedding were photoshopped, and she told me to burn the body. But I got scared, so I threw it into the river instead. I’ll tell you everything! Please, just spare me!” Lucas dropped to his knees and banged his head on the ground, pleading for mercy.Next to him, Elizabeth suddenly collapsed to her knees.Christopher glared at her, his voice filled with fury. “Why did you kill her? She saved your life!”Elizabeth crawled over to him, grabbed onto the edge of his trousers, and sobbed. “I’m sorry! I did it because I loved you so much, and I didn’t know what else to do! Please forgive me! I wasn’t thinking straight! I only did it because I was scared you’d leave me for her. I just love you so much!”How could she talk about killing someone so casually?“Love? You say you love me, but the child you’re carrying isn’t even mine! Elizabeth, your love is nothing but a joke!” Christopher’s emotionless voice was icy cold.The atmosphere grew

In the thick silence, Henry held my broken hand, just like he had done when he used to lull me to sleep as a child. “Naomi, it’s okay! I’m here with you. You’re just asleep, right? When you wake up later, I’ll buy you your favorite cupcakes, okay?”He seemed to be smiling, but his face was already streaked with tears.After a long while, Sergeant Hunter arranged for Christopher and Henry to be taken home. The two of them walked home in a daze. As they turned a corner, they heard Elizabeth’s voice saying, “Lucas, you’re the father of my child. How could you do this to me?”“Are you sure you’re only playing with Christopher’s feelings?”“Of course! I just wanted to get all of his money. I only love you!”...I froze in place the moment I saw that man. Images from that night flashed before my eyes.How would I ever forget him?He was the one who had cruelly broken my hands and feet and violently stuffed me into a suitcase. He was the one who had knocked me out and taken me to

“How could this happen?” Christopher stumbled and fell to his knees. Disbelief was flickering in his eyes.“How could this happen?” He kept repeating those words to himself, his voice filled with an undertone of despair. “It’s impossible! It can’t be her!”He muttered to himself, and his eyes were filled with confusion.Just then, Sergeant Hunter rushed in.He crouched beside Christopher on the floor. “My condolences,” he offered with sympathy.But Christopher acted as if he had not heard Sergeant Hunter. His entire body was trembling while he crawled toward my body. Was he afraid?Was he afraid to confirm that it was really me, or was he afraid of seeing how disgusting I had become?“Chris, I don’t understand. She’s been missing for two months. Why didn’t you call the police? Why didn’t you try to find her? Even if you hated her, she was still someone you’d known for so long!” Sergeant Hunter’s voice cracked with frustration as he questioned him.Christopher said nothing, hi
The Breaking of Promises Under the Aurora Chapter 5
Christopher took Elizabeth home.They lived comfortably in the new home I had furnished. I had carefully picked out every piece of furniture, nearly depleting all my savings. Looking back, I wondered—while I was busy dreaming about our future, was Christopher already planning to get rid of me?Late at night, they laid together on the bed.Christopher held Elizabeth close and gently stroked her hair. That must be what a truly intimate couple looked like.When I stared at them, my chest tightened with a numbing pain.I did not know how long I had stood there, but after a while, Christopher quietly called out Elizabeth’s name. Seeing she did not respond, he slipped out of bed and headed toward the door.Where was he going? Why was he sneaking around behind Elizabeth’s back?He went to the garage, and I followed him, sitting in the passenger seat.He seemed anxious and started the car quickly, driving off to somewhere. The vibrant lights from outside flickered across hi

“What?”“The DNA report confirmed that the body is Naomi’s!”Hearing with his own ears that the body was mine, he should believe it, right?I studied his face, expecting to see at least a flicker of emotion.But he only narrowed his eyes slightly and replied in his usual indifferent tone, “It can’t be her. I saw her with another man not too long ago, and that body’s been dead for two months.”“But the report can’t be wrong!”“It’s definitely a mistake. If not, it must be Naomi pulling another one of her stunts. She’s always been good at this.”He was so sure of himself. He looked certain that this was just one of my tricks. But did he not realize how contradictory he was being? If I had truly chosen to be with another man, why would I go to such lengths to play the victim?Besides, he stopped caring about me altogether ever since Elizabeth came into our lives.The memory of my senior year trip flashed before me. Elizabeth and I had both fallen into the lake at the same tim
