Three Years After My Death, He Married My Best Friend Chapter 9
Calvin's hand was around Meryl's throat. She could barely breathe, but she only grew more excited, a strange smile tugging at her lips.Afraid Calvin might kill her, Margaret hurried over and pulled him back.Meryl collapsed on the floor, laughing louder and louder. Her shrill laughter echoed eerily through the house."Kindness? Is Cecilia's kindness really such a big deal?"That condescending kindness was nothing but charity. Why should I be grateful for it?!"She was only nice to me to show off!"She just wanted to show that she was better than me at everything, always one step ahead... We came from the same children's home. So why did she get early admission and win all those awards? Why did she land a job right out of college at a company I couldn't even dream of working for?!"Even in love, everything went her way. Why did life favor her so much? Why did she get everything?!"Next to her, no one ever noticed me. No matter how hard I tried, I was always in her shadow!"It's not fai

"If you don't believe me, I've got a recording!"I heard she's married now, to some rich guy. I was saving it so I could squeeze more money out of her..."The officer signaled Evan to play the recording.A woman's voice came through the speakers."This $60,000 is your down payment. Kill Cecilia, and I'll send you the other $90,000, just like we agreed."Here's her picture. Take a good look."Remember, I want her gone without a trace. Make sure she never sees the light of day again!"The woman's cruel words echoed through the room, sending a chill down everyone's spine.Calvin stood by the door. He recognized Meryl's voice at once.His eyes bloodshot, he turned and ran out.Calvin drove flat out, running red lights, and reached the house in minutes.Inside, every light was on. The first thing he saw was the huge wedding photo Meryl had hung in the living room.Rage surged through Calvin as he looked at it. He searched the room and found an ax in the corner.He swung it at the photo. The

"Mr. Hayes, Meryl is now a suspect, and our technicians are already going through her call logs and financial records!"Given your relationship with her, we need you to stay at the station for now."We hope you'll cooperate."Calvin nodded numbly and kept a silent vigil beside my body.The others left quietly to give him some space.Calvin knelt on the floor, holding my hand. He touched my cheek as gently as though I were made of porcelain."Cecilia, I'm sorry."It must have hurt so much back then. You were always so scared of pain."Looking at him, I whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore."Calvin bowed his head."You must think it's ridiculous too. I should have trusted you more than anyone, but I doubted you and hated you because of a few things someone else said."...Someone like me never deserved your love."You must regret ever loving a man as weak and useless as me."I crouched beside him and answered softly, "I don't regret it."How could I regret it? You're the best thing that ev

A third of the way through the video, the screen went black, and a brief scream came through the speakers.The footage turned chaotic. The camera kept jerking around, but you could make out a masked man closing in.There was a dull thud. I fell to the ground.Something blocked most of the lens, leaving only a narrow view of the attacker.As the sharp pickax swung down toward me, everyone could guess what came next. Some of them couldn't bear to watch and closed their eyes.Only Calvin kept his eyes wide open.He stared at the blood spreading across the ground. His whole body shook, but he didn't look away.On the screen, I was still inching toward the cave entrance, trying in vain to crawl out. The man smiled and dropped the pickax."Save your strength. And don't blame me. Blame yourself for getting in someone's way."Honestly, if I didn't have debts to pay, I wouldn't be killing people for money. In your next life, be more careful who you trust."You thought Meryl was your best friend

When Calvin pulled the sheet all the way back, he froze at the sight of a face that was both familiar and strange.He stared at my body. Before he realized it, tears spilled from his eyes."Cecilia..."Calvin called my name without thinking, but I could never answer him again.Dr. Morgan said, "She was found on the snowy mountain, less than a mile from where you got married."When she died, she was still clutching that ring."The examination shows she died three years ago."Calvin looked up sharply, disbelief written across his face."Three years ago? Three years ago!"He kept repeating the words. The room seemed to twist around him. He swayed and nearly collapsed.Every word felt like a dull knife carving into his heart, over and over.How could this be?Hadn't Cecilia left him years ago and gone overseas with someone else? How could she have died three years ago?Calvin couldn't bear to follow that thought. If Cecilia hadn't left, what had he spent the last three years hating her for

Calvin gripped the phone, his eyes cold. He stared at Meryl. "Who sent you this?""A-a friend. After the police came yesterday, I was worried something really had happened to Cecilia, so I asked someone to look into it. She said Cecilia got married a long time ago and has completely forgotten you."Before Meryl could finish, a loud crash rang out. It was Calvin!Stone-faced and silent, he'd hurled the phone to the floor, and it lay smashed to pieces!Meryl jumped. "Calvin, don't be like this. Maybe, maybe Cecilia...""Shut up!" Calvin looked up, his eyes icy. "I don't want to hear another word about her!"With that, he walked out without looking back.No! That's not true! I watched helplessly as he misunderstood me all over again. I tried desperately to explain, but my voice could never reach Calvin.I followed him in despair. In his study, he took an album from the cabinet, one he hadn't opened in years. It was full of pictures of us.Calvin brushed his fingertips over the photos. Whe
