Mag-log inTo the world, I’m the wife of Kael Voss. In truth, I’m the daughter of the Grim Reaper. I once defied death to save Kael Voss, the Mafia godfather. After ninety-nine proposals, his persistence melted my heart. I hid my divine heritage, abandoned the Underworld, and became his beloved Donna. After the marriage, he firmly kept his vows, turning our marriage into a fairytale. With our fifth wedding anniversary approaching, I wanted to get him a gift. Instead, I overheard a conversation between him and the maid, Luna. "Honey, your birthday is coming up soon. What gift do you want?" "I want you," Kael replied, his voice dripping with affection. "I want you by my side forever. I need to make sure Iris never finds out about us... and I want you to give me an heir." "Are you sure?" "Positive." Kael’s tone was unwavering. The grin slid off my face the moment I heard the answer and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. The blood drained from my face. The hope I had cherished shattered into dust. The love he had sworn to me had rotted away in just five years, leaving nothing but a hollow shell. If he no longer wanted my heart, I would take it back. The full moon rose in two days. It is time for my return to the Underworld.

I, alongside Elowen, guided new ghosts in the Underworld every day as if three hundred years had never passed. I had seen Kael three times.The first time was outside the hospital where I had died. I was guiding a young girl who had perished in a car accident and happened to pass by Kael in the morgue just as Kael learned of my death. I watched him stumbled, clutching a piece of note tightly in his hand. That was the farewell I had left behind.The second time was in the mansion that used to be our home. When I guided an elderly neighbor who had passed away from illness, a fierce argument between him and Luna erupted in the courtyard. I heard Kael’ hoarse and furious voice, "Get her out! She is never allowed to step into the mansion again!" The sounds of shattering glass and crying mixed into a chaotic mess. Passing by the g
From that day on, Kael’s desperate longing to see Iris grew stronger and stronger. He tried countless ways to end his life, like sharp knives, drugs, jumping from the rooftop, but he never succeeded. He always flinched at the very last second, lacking the final ounce of courage.. He jeered at himself, bending over and covering his face with his hands in agony. Kael fired all the servants in the mansion and restored the room exactly as it had been when Iris was here, living in a delusion as if she had never left. In the daytime, Kael would sit by the window just as Iris used to. He watched the sunlight shift inch by inch across the floor and observed the tree shadows swaying in the wind. At night, he drowned himself in alcohol, whiskey, vodka, whatever spirits he could find.Kael was terrified of being sober because sobriety was unbearable. In the silence, his memories would flood in like a tidal wave. He would see Iris's smile and tears, her calm gaze in her final moments, and that r
Kael turned to the servants, his voice cold and commanding, "Send her to the hospital. From now on, she is never allowed to step into this mansion again.""How dare you!"Before Luna could finish her words, she convulsed violently, the blood gushing out even more fiercely. Soon, Luna was rushed away to the hospital, and the mansion fell back into a deathly, suffocating silence.Outside the window, the night fell. The city in the distance was brightly lit, the world still bustling and noisy. But, inside this mansion, there was only a man standing alone, his hands stained with invisible blood.Kael stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. Iris used to love sitting here, basking in the sun and watching the blooming roses in the garden. He recalled the days when Iris was there. Hearing his steps, Iris would turn around with a look of pleasant surprise. The sunlight would gild her with a golden glow, making her look as beautiful as an angel.Right at the
Luna collapsed onto the floor, clutching her abdomen. Her face was as pale as a sheet, cold sweat seeping from her forehead. A stream of warm fluid gushed out from between her legs, staining her pure white silk nightgown a horrifying crimson."You…you…" Luna looked at Kael in disbelief, her eyes filled with sheer terror and despair.Kael wiped his hands meticulously with a handkerchief, his movements precise and cold. He glanced down at Luna from above, is eyes devoid of anything but icy fury."My baby…my baby…" Her voice was broken, a ragged whisper, "Kael, you killed our baby.""How could you… do this to me? You said you loved me! You promised to marry me and have our baby be your only heir. You said all of that!"Kael chuckled, a low, humorless sound, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He lowered his head, sneering down at her."Luna, are you even worthy of love? I never, ever loved you. The only person I have ever loved, from beginning to end, is Iris."Luna'
