The Frozen Grave Chapter 10
Roger and Amelia were baffled. "What do you mean, Summer? What does Aster have to do with all of this? Explain!"Aster swallowed nervously before hugging Summer's arm tightly."I get it—you're just too sad, aren't you? I'm sad about Charles' death too, but you can't just blame me for it! I've been with Mom and Dad this whole time, remember?"Summer violently shook him off, before bringing up the chat history between Aster and Tessa.Shown there were chat records between Aster and Tessa, stating as clear as day that he'd directed Tessa to swap out the supplies Summer had left for me with empty bags.And then, returning to the incident four years ago, where I had accidentally left Aster behind in a remote area and had caused him to suffer cold and hunger, Summer found the surveillance footage from the place where I had stopped the car.Sure enough, Aster had said something to me before I got out of the car. And while I was outside, he had secretly slipped away on his own.That was

The color drained rapidly from Roger and Amelia's faces.Amelia once again thrust her sharp fingernails at the screen, trying to find a flaw in my act, just as she had last night.Roger even fetched a magnifying glass and examined me from every angle.But there was nothing.Not a single flaw.I really was dead.I died last night, at the very moment they warmly celebrated Aster's birthday.Did they even remember that last night was my birthday, too?Yet my stomach had held not only no cake, but not even the tiniest morsel of food.Hungry, with an empty stomach, I had frozen to death all alone in a mountain cave amid the snow and ice.The suffering I endured must have been worse than what Aster had gone through that rainy night, right?Dad, Mom, Summer…Congratulations.I suffered from the cold and starved, just like you wished."This is impossible…"Roger and Amelia stood there in a daze, their eyes reddening and their lips trembling uncontrollably. But apart from those w

They had arrived at the snowy mountain.Summer pulled on her thermal gear and made her way to the cave without saying a word.The moment the people gathered at the entrance saw her, their eyes lit up."Chief, you're finally here!"Summer looked at those who stood, those who sat, and those who were panting from exertion, from person to person.After looking at everyone, it was clear I wasn't there, and Summer paled considerably.Tessa hurried over and led her to where I lay, but Summer had already closed her eyes, her head hanging low.I smiled.'You already knew it wasn't some ruse, didn't you?'During our video call, frostbite could be faked.But the details of the corpse in the photo Tessa had sent you? There was no way anyone could have faked them so convincingly.'I'm dead, Summer. You're already here, so why don't you open your eyes?'Tessa sighed, and it was only after a while of waiting that she couldn't help but urge her on."Chief, the temperature is about to reac

Summer drove at breakneck speed, running three red lights in a row. But an accident up ahead left traffic backed up at the highway entrance, trapping her in the congestion.Her colleague called once more. "How much longer until you get here, Chief? Our team is still up on the mountain waiting for you to come and retrieve the body yourself."Hearing this, Summer's tense body actually relaxed a little."I already know you're working with Charles to trick me, Tessa. Tell him I'm on my way, and that I'm almost there. No need to lie any longer."There was a pregnant silence on the other end.After several audible swallows, Tessa finally spoke cautiously."Chief, I know this is hard for you to accept, but the weather is fluctuating drastically, and staying up on the mountain is dangerous, so please hurry. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to tell them to carry Mr. Rivers' body down themselves."Summer smirked. "Fine, continue your little act, but can't you make up better lies?"Why
The Frozen Grave Chapter 6
That sentence...I'd waited six years to hear it, to the point where it had become an obsession.The first year, our wedding was called off because Aster kept pestering Summer to help him prepare for his college entrance exams, and Summer simply didn't have the time.The second year, Summer left me alone at the bridal shop. I waited until nightfall, but she never came.That day, Summer had been pretending to be Aster's girlfriend for a day, trying to discourage the girls who wanted to pursue him.In the end, I wandered into an alley and was sexually assaulted by a bunch of perverted older women.With the last of my strength, I called Summer, but she didn't answer.Instead, she was out drinking with Aster, trying to see how much alcohol it would take for him to get drunk."This way, my innocent little Aster will know his limits, and won't let some bad woman take advantage of him!"…By the time everything was over, the sky had begun to lighten, and the women left the scene one

The person on the phone practically shouted the words.His voice echoed clearly throughout the living room.Then came a suffocating silence, so quiet that the sound of Summer struggling to swallow could be heard clearly. "W-What did you say?""I said we found a male body in the cave, and it looks like your boyfriend Charles!"Summer's entire body started trembling, muttering to herself, "T-That's… that's impossible…"Amelia and Roger stared blankly at each other, seeing the helplessness and panic in each other's eyes.Amelia was the first to recover, grabbing Summer's arm and shaking her repeatedly, her eyes instantly reddening."What's going on, Summer? Didn't you say that he'd have enough supplies to survive? Why did they say that they found Charles' body?!"Summer ran a hand through her hair, her face deathly pale, as though her very soul had been ripped away."I don't know…"Roger was relatively calm, only taking a moment to recollect himself and regain the calm authority
