Jason's POV

Freya froze. "What are you talking about? How could I be so cruel? Besides, we're married now—"

I reached out and swiftly grabbed her by the throat. "I was unconscious, not dead."

Freya struggled against my grip. "I don't understand what you mean. I only made a phone call."

Earlier, while drifting in and out of sleep, I overheard her asking whether a job had been handled cleanly and worrying that they would both be ruined if they were caught. I hadn't been entirely sure before, b

  • We Parted in Life, Reunited in Death   Chapter 9

    Jason's POVDuring my time under house arrest, I gradually regained my composure. Once I reclaimed control of company affairs and some degree of freedom, the first thing I did was search for evidence.Just as Shawn had claimed, they had covered their tracks thoroughly, so uncovering proof took me a considerable amount of time. Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain.When Freya was seven months pregnant, I reported her and Shawn to the police for murder and disposing of a body, backed by undeniable evidence.I knew that the Thorne and Torres families would surely use their influence to hire the best attorneys to protect them, so I took preemptive action. I signed two-year exclusive contracts with every lawyer in the field who specialized in this type of case, ensuring that none could represent them without my permission.On the day of Shawn's arrest, he confronted me while still in handcuffs. "You're a lunatic! I still remember how you nearly destroyed yourself over Janice. I o

    Jason's POVFreya froze. "What are you talking about? How could I be so cruel? Besides, we're married now—"I reached out and swiftly grabbed her by the throat. "I was unconscious, not dead."Freya struggled against my grip. "I don't understand what you mean. I only made a phone call."Earlier, while drifting in and out of sleep, I overheard her asking whether a job had been handled cleanly and worrying that they would both be ruined if they were caught. I hadn't been entirely sure before, but her defensive response confirmed my suspicions at once.I snatched the phone from her and shoved her aside. I redialed the most recent number in her call log, and the call was answered immediately."Don't worry, Fay. I gave the orders again. The spot where Janice was buried has been completely cleaned up. Not a single drop of blood will be left in the snow—"It was Shawn's voice. He was my lifelong best friend.My eyes widened in disbelief. The betrayal by the two people closest to me hit

  • We Parted in Life, Reunited in Death   Chapter 7

    Jason's POVTime seemed to stretch on forever. This was the first time I truly understood that feeling.With every passing moment, I felt a desperate urge to escape the life I once took pride in, praying for the ceremony to end. The resentment and longing I had bottled up for five years collided violently the instant Zayne announced Janice's death.My turbulent emotions reached their breaking point when I shattered my wine glass and abandoned the wedding banquet without a second thought.Freya's sobbing, my parents' scolding, the guests' whispering, and the waiters' panic created a chaotic scene behind me.However, all that noise came to a sudden halt the moment I stood before Janice's body, hidden beneath a white sheet.Zayne hadn't told me where she was, but I tracked her down myself and arrived just as he was wheeling her out.When Zayne saw me, he shot me a hateful glare. He sighed to himself and said, "We're in a hurry to fly home. I'll give you five minutes. Say something

    Jason's POVZayne threw a punch with all his might, catching me off guard and sending me sprawling to the floor.The heavy thud of my body hitting the ground echoed throughout the room. The sound made everyone wince with imagined pain.I scrambled to my feet as if I felt no pain, shook my head to clear my vision, and seized Zayne by the collar."What did you say? Say that again!" I roared.Even surrounded by my friends and relatives, Zayne showed no fear as he shoved my hands back. "I said Janice is dead. She died miserably in the endless snow!"If you hadn't kept making things difficult for Janice, she never would have spent three days in the hospital with an allergic reaction, and she certainly wouldn't have agreed to come to Selvaria."She was supposed to have another month left. She didn't even get to say goodbye to the world properly!" Zayne screamed until his voice cracked.My face froze in shock. I knew that Zayne would never joke about Janice's life, but how could thi

    Janice's POVAfter a brief commotion, Jason rushed over and shoved my wheelchair aside. He then scooped up Freya and headed for the exit.My body went limp. I watched through gritted teeth as Jason held Freya with such tenderness. My eyes met her smug gaze, which seemed to say that she had won.Jason didn't even spare me a glance. He judged me without asking for my side of the story, leaving me with no way to defend myself.Someone kicked me hard. I toppled to the ground, alcohol spilling as shards of glass scattered everywhere. It was a pathetic sight.Jason paused in his tracks.Freya clutched her head with one hand and her stomach with the other. "Jason, I really don't know what got into Ms. Moyer. She suddenly swung that bottle at me and said she wanted to kill me and the baby so you could never be happy."It's fine if she hates me, but I don't understand why she would hurt our child. It hurts so much, Jason. Am I going to die?"I lay on the ground with the wheelchair pinni

    Janice's POV"Since we've run into each other, let's head out together," Shawn said.Running into Shawn here was a stroke of bad luck.I declined coldly, "No, thanks. I have a ride.""Today is the pre-wedding party. You've already agreed to attend the wedding, so skipping the party would make us look bad. Or is what they say true? Do you still have feelings for Jason and can't even bear to look at him?"Shawn didn't give me a choice. As soon as he finished speaking, he had his men shove me into the car.We arrived at a bar with deafening music blasting inside. The people dancing wildly in the private room turned to look at me in my wheelchair, and the room instantly fell silent.Someone asked, "Freya, did you really invite a disabled person to your wedding?"The room erupted in laughter.Freya gave the person a light and playful shove. "Stop that. This is a good friend of Jason and mine. Ms. Moyer, let's play dice."From the moment I entered the bar, I felt pressure building
