The Kindest Cruelty Chapter 7
"He loved you too much to ever trick you," her assistant said.I was hovering unseen behind Susie. My heart might have stopped, but the words still cut deep.She still thought it was all a trick.Susie's gaze fell.I had loved her deeply.I would always leave a light on for her, no matter how late she returned home.I would cry whenever she suffered from stomach pains.She must have wanted a happy life with me, too, if only I had not constantly been at odds with her brother-in-law, Chester.The more Susie dwelled on it, the more her head throbbed, and she started to question whether I had ever really given Chester a hard time. She had never witnessed it herself, after all.However, she refused to accept that I was gone and ordered her assistant, "Fetch the doctor. I want to see what game he's playing!"Before long, a team of doctors arrived, and after a thorough check, they confirmed it."Ms. Rogers, Mr. Lynch was already dead before he arrived at the hospital!""What are y

Then, I saw what he did next, and it was pure madness. He laid the child Susie had given birth to right next to my body and cranked the sauna to an unbearable 180 degrees.My eyes were wide open in shock.Chester was trying to cook himself alive!The most shocking thing was that Chester, out of pure selfishness, had actually suffocated Susie's own child.I could only watch as the child was transformed into a mummy, just as I had been. At that moment, Chester pretended to scream, "Oh, my baby!""Chester!" A voice called from outside, followed by urgent footsteps.It was Susie.Chester did not care how scorching the sauna door was as he faked a frantic attempt to save the child. "No, no! Edward, if you're going to hate someone, hate me, but please don't hurt the boy! He's the only child Susie can ever give me... Argh... My baby..."Susie, hurry, look at our baby! He's turned into a mummy... I came here with good intentions to see Edward, but he snatched our kid and cranked the sa

Chester, who had been gloating by her side, grabbed her arm quickly and said,"Susie, don't fall for it! I set the sauna temp myself, 104 degrees max. Plus, there's this huge icebox in there. If it got too hot, he'd just chill in there."Susie paused, thinking Chester had a point.The sauna could not have been that hot, could it? It had to be Edward messing with the controls! He was probably just trying to play the sympathy card and get a free ride to the hospital.Feeling played, she snapped, saying, "Edward, when will you cut the act? Silent treatment? I almost thought you'd kicked the bucket! No more games; I'm running out of patience!"I was floating up in the air and could not help but snicker. If she had just pushed the door open, she would have seen me, crispy as a piece of beef jerky.However, she did not. She would rather take Chester's word for it than see the truth with her own eyes.She was not the type to run out of patience, only when it came to me.However, with

I woke up to a surge of blistering heat, only to realize I was floating, out of control.Hovering in the air, I looked down at the sauna scene below and saw that I was a charred shadow of myself, crisped like a piece of jerky.That was when it hit me: I was dead.Seeing Susie at the door, my spirit shook with a mix of anger and disbelief.Should she not have been off with her boy toy? Why had she gone there to rub salt in my wounds?Had she not done enough to get back at me, to make Chester happy?If she had known I was gone, would she have even cried for me? Shed a single tear?Or would she have thought I had gotten off too easily in death?I could not bear to ponder it any longer as tears sprang to my eyes. It turned out even ghosts were not immune to crying.However, that tear, tracing a path down my cheek, never made it to the ground; the relentless heat turned it to steam.Fresh from the cool relief of an air-conditioned room, Susie edged closer to the sauna, clearly ove

I experienced what happened when the mighty fell, and everyone started kicking while I was down.Susie had tossed me aside like a worn-out sneaker, and even her nanny felt bold enough to give me a kick.I knew they were all scared of Susie, but they were terrified of the head of the Rogers family."Mrs. Rogers thinks the world of me. If anything happens to me, you won't get off easy for just standing there!"The nanny went pale as a ghost when I said that. She knew the Rogers family head put me on a pedestal, and if things went south, they could not handle the fallout.However, she did not dare let me out on her own. She bolted upstairs to report the situation. "Ms. Rogers, Mr. Lynch says his body is heating up in the sauna, which is currently at 180 degrees. Should I rush him to the hospital for surgery right away?"Susie was hanging out with Chester in her room, and the mention of my name made her twitch with annoyance. "That sauna doesn't even go past 104 degrees."Maybe worr
The Kindest Cruelty Chapter 2
I watched Susie, ablaze with anger for Chester, and for a moment, I could not even tell who she was married to.Three years of marriage, and she would rather take another man's word over mine.My heart felt like it was being ripped to shreds, piece by piece."If you must thank someone for our marriage, thank Chester. Seriously, if you didn't look a bit like him, would I have said yes to your proposal?"I felt my face drain of color.When Susie and I tied the knot, the whole capital's most influential people buzzed about how she was head over heels for me. I was the prince charming in her love story, they said.I had dreamt up that perfect little family scene a million times: Susie, me, and our future kid, all smiles and happiness.However, it finally hit me like a ton of bricks. To Susie, I was just a stand-in. Chester was the guy she had always been crazy about. She had just been biting back her feelings because he had gone and married her sister.That gut punch, that raw, sca
