Chapter 6

Penulis: Little Dazey
Emilia's POV

On the other side, I treated that recording as my "final words" and a farewell to that fake marriage.

While the video was being shared widely online, I had already arrived in a small, distant town and started my new life.

I had no family and no Twinkle here. I knew not a single person.

Only a little house with a garden and a piano kept me company.

I had a new identity. I no longer had to be tied to a fake marriage, nor did I have to see the man who loved someone else.

No one knew where I was. Free from all of them, I was prepared to live the rest of my life alone.

At first, I wasn't used to it.

I had to do everything myself. There were no maids here to help me.

But little by little, I learned how to cook and how to fix basic appliances.

I spoke to very few people. Everything around me was unfamiliar, and I didn't want to get too close to strangers.

Every morning after waking up, I watered the flowers in my little garden, watching them bloom bit by bit.

  • Who Needs Love After Death?   Chapter 10

    Emilia's POVTwinkle looked at Amelie coldly. "As I said earlier, I don't care whether you live or die.""Fine."She pulled a knife from her clothes and pressed it against her neck."Twinkle, open your eyes. Emilia's already with someone else. She doesn't love you! She never has! I'm the only one who truly loves you!"Her eyes shifted to me, full of bitter resolve."Emilia, you ruined me. I hate you! You're not the only one who can die!"As soon as she finished speaking, the knife sank deeper. Blood started to flow from her neck.We all thought Twinkle would rush over to stop her, but his eyes stayed fixed on me, as if I were the only thing that mattered.Twinkle spoke in a low voice. "Amelie, don't think you can wipe away everything you've done by doing something like that. I told you we're done. Emilia's the only one I love. It's always been her, and it always will be."That broke Amelie completely as she hollered hysterically, "Fine, then I'll die right in front of you!"

    Emilia's POVGary rushed in.The moment he stepped through the door, he forcefully pulled Amelie away and shielded me behind him.Amelie stumbled, nearly losing her balance. When she saw who it was, she suddenly let out a cold laugh."You're really something, Emilia. It hasn't even been that long, and you've already latched onto someone else."She crossed her arms and shot a mocking look at both me and Gary."A long time ago, I told Twinkle that you didn't really love him. And I was right. You're already with another man this quickly! He didn't believe me before, but now the truth is right here!"Gary frowned and glanced back at her. "Ma'am, please watch your words. This is a piano room, not a place for you to cause trouble. If you have something to settle, take it outside. Don't do this here."Amelie froze for a second, then sneered. "And who the hell are you to tell me what to do? Don't think you're so important. A woman like Emilia could never truly love anyone."She insult

    Emilia's POVGary brought up the piano competition a few more times afterward."You play so well. You should be on a bigger stage. If you stay here, you'd just waste your talent."I sat quietly at the piano, casually pressing the keys.His words reminded me of why I'd studied piano all these years—because I once dreamed of standing on a grander stage.That had been my dream."Can you do that?" Gary's eyes sparkled."Yeah, I'll give it a try."He immediately broke into a wide smile and handed me the information about the competition.That night, I sat alone at the piano, trying to compose something new.I thought Twinkle had hurt me to the core. But this time, it felt different.As I wrote the music, Gary's face kept surfacing in my mind.He just stood there quietly in the distance, but his gaze always landed on me.Before I knew it, I was smiling a little. Even the notes on the staff felt as though they were dancing.On the day of the competition, I felt a wave of nervous

  • Who Needs Love After Death?   Chapter 7

    Emilia's POVAfter hanging up the phone, I opened the news related to Twinkle and Amelie.The photos were blurry, but I could still recognize Amelie.She was crying, dragging her luggage out of the house, with no one by her side.The competition association also released a statement, permanently revoking all of her competition qualifications.The Ashcombe family's stock took a steep dive because of her.As for Twinkle, a reporter captured him refusing to let the demolition team tear down the house.Every day, he searched the ruins for hours.The small chapel was the only part still standing, but nothing inside had anything to do with me anymore.Amelie's name was no longer on the wall—it was replaced by mine.Everyone was reprimanding him for playing with someone's feelings, and now karma had finally caught up with him.Some people said he was actually pretty pitiful for only realizing his true love after losing her.I just found it absurd.I was never his true love.He r

  • Who Needs Love After Death?   Chapter 5

    Twinkle's POVI stood there frozen, as if I were nailed to the ground. Even after the officer left, I still couldn't snap out of it.That was when Amelie appeared behind me.When she heard the news that Emilia had died in the fire, she couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from curling up, no matter how hard she tried to suppress it.But she pretended to be sad in front of me."Twinkle, Emilia's gone, but you still have me. You have to keep living."My body trembled. I turned to look at her, and Amelie got flustered under my scrutiny."Twinkle, why are you looking at me like that?""Why? Why did you have to use Amelie's composition?"Amelie forced a stiff smile. "What are you trying to say, Twinkle?"I stood up and approached her, making her back away step by step."You told me Emilia was more talented than you. You begged me in tears, and that was the only reason I agreed to help you. But did you even know what that piece meant? It was Emilia's birthday gift to me!"Ameli

  • Who Needs Love After Death?   Chapter 4

    Twinkle's POVI had been with Amelie for a long time.I glanced at the clock and got up to leave."I have to go back. Today's our wedding anniversary. I promised to spend it with Emilia."Amelie blocked my way unhappily. "Don't go, Twinkle. I need you as well."I shook my head. "I've been with you for a while. Emilia's waiting for me. I have to go."As I spoke, I picked up my phone from the table just in time for the screen to light up. The butler, Samuel Loxley, was calling."Mr. Oriven! The house is on fire, and Mrs. Oriven is still inside!"I froze, my voice trembling slightly. "How did it catch fire? What were you all doing? Get her out of there now!"Samuel sounded as though he were about to cry. "Mrs. Oriven kicked all of us out. She didn't look well at the time, and we didn't know what to do.""Why did she kick you out?"I suddenly raised my voice, "Forget that. Just call the police and save her! You should've done that earlier! Why didn't you call me?"Samuel hesita

  • Who Needs Love After Death?   Chapter 3

    Emilia's POVWhen Twinkle and Amelie heard my question, neither of them said a word."It's not the same piece. They only have a similar rhythm, which is normal."My expression remained calm, giving nothing away. Twinkle looked at me, let go of Amelie, and walked over."Emilia, let's go home. You should get some rest, too."I looked up at him, the corners of my lips curving slightly. "Alright."When we got to the car, he courteously opened the door for me."Emilia, I've already prepared your anniversary gift. I'll try to spend more time with you these days. It's time we had a child, too."I didn't respond.This marriage was a mistake from the start, including the idea of a child. It was all part of Twinkle's plan.When we arrived at the house, I walked ahead. Twinkle's phone rang.He answered, frowning slightly as he glanced at the screen."If you've got something to do, just go."He looked at me hesitantly. "Emilia, I…"Twinkle must have remembered what he'd just said in

  • Who Needs Love After Death?   Chapter 2

    Emilia's POVThe next day, when Twinkle was about to leave, I had already changed my clothes."I'm going back with you."Twinkle's expression froze for a moment, and then he gave a faint smile."Okay, we'll be back as soon as possible."I knew he was afraid I would interfere with Amelie.But she wasn't my goal. I just wanted to see my family one last time before leaving.After all, I might never see them again.When we arrived home, the entire hall was packed with people. Amelie was receiving countless wishes from everyone.She wore an extravagant gown. Her makeup was flawless, and she stood among the crowd like a noble princess.When she saw me walk in, her smile faded noticeably, but she still approached me with elegance."You're here. I thought you'd gotten used to being a rich housewife and forgotten all about me."I ignored her sarcasm and looked elsewhere."Amelie, I got this for you. Happy birthday."Twinkle's voice was full of emotion. He looked at Amelie with aff
