Chapter 1

I never thought my body would see daylight again. I stared blankly at the corpse on the autopsy table. It had been a perfectly intact body, and it was now coated in thick, black asphalt. It looked like it had been through the furnace at least once."You're here, Mr. Stewart."Joshua Stewart's assistant, Edwin, stood up to greet him.The air reeked of chemicals, and Joshua couldn't help but wrinkle his nose in disgust. The disdainful look on his face was exactly how he used to look at me when I was alive.Cold, distant, revolted, and even disgusted."What happened?" Joshua asked as he pulled on a pair of gloves."The body was found in an old factory that was being demolished on the outskirts of town this morning. It was discovered in an asphalt pit. "The face is completely destroyed. Looks like there was a brutal fight, and possibly it was an act of revenge. The body has been corroded by asphalt, and even the airways are full of it."Joshua hummed in acknowledgment and picked

I couldn't help but drift closer.Even though I knew it was only an embryo, I felt an unbearable urge to see the child. It was my first baby.Maybe it knew I wasn't fit to be a mother and didn't want to meet me. Even so, I still wanted to hold it and tell it that I loved it. More than anything, I had wished for this baby to come into the world safely and in good health. The thought overwhelmed me, and tears spilled over. Sorrow washed through me like a slow tide."Send the deceased for an identity match in the database," Joshua said. "She's been dead for about a year, so make sure they focus on missing persons within that time frame."After Joshua finished up, he packed away his tools with detached efficiency and got ready to leave."By the way, Mr. Steward," Edwin said, as if suddenly remembering something. "Samantha's mother is causing a scene at the entrance again, demanding to see you. You should take the back exit when you leave."I was stunned. My mother? What was she

Chapter 3

Maybe it was because my obsession ran too deep, but my soul followed Joshua home."Josh, you're back!" Christina greeted him, wearing an apron and smiling sweetly. Her dimples made her look so innocent and gentle.No one would ever suspect that this softspoken and gentle woman had killed two people.The incident report from that time revealed that when Christina first hit the victim, it wasn't fatal. But she kept running over them again and again until they died, leaving the body on the side of the road.As soon as Joshua saw her, his face lit up with a smile. "Tina, what delicious meal have you made today?"They embraced naturally, like the most ordinary couple in the world.I looked around the place carefully.This was the house Joshua and I had worked so hard to buy after three years of scrimping and saving. Every piece—from the couch to the coffee table, the vases to the utensils—was something I had carefully chosen and arranged. I had poured all of my love and effort into t

Chapter 4

It was my seventh day of following Joshua, and I was forced to watch him and Christina playing their sickening game of love. Every single day.They never mentioned me. Not once.Maybe in their minds, someone like me was a stain on their "perfect" love.Christina leaned in close to Joshua and whispered, "Honey, I've got a secret to tell you.""Oh?" He played along, feigning curiosity. "What's the secret?""I…"Knock, knock, knock!A loud rapping at the door shattered the sickeningly sweet moment. The second the door swung open, a hand gripped Joshua's arm tightly."Josh, I've found some new evidence. Can you help me submit it?"It was my mother, Mabel.I had seen her many times over these past few days, tirelessly trying to clear my name, only to be turned away time after time. My father passed away when I was young, and my mother raised me on her own. When Joshua saw her, he didn't hesitate and slammed the door on her. Hard.My mother's hand was still on the doorframe

Chapter 5

I watched as Joshua froze in place.Christina glanced at him in confusion. "What's wrong, Josh?"His lips moved, but no words came out. His face was rigid, eyes clouded with confusion. It was like he was struggling to process the news of my death. His hand slackened, and the phone slipped from his grip and crashed onto the floor."Josh, did the good news shock you that much?" Christina waved a hand in front of his face. "Are you just overwhelmed by the thought of being a father?"Christina was still lost in the glow of becoming a mother, and she assumed Joshua was too stunned by joy to react. But Joshua's face grew paler by the second, and his expression darkened.Finally, Christina noticed something wasn't right. "Josh, what's going on? Did something happen?"He looked at her, but all the light had drained from his eyes. "Samantha is dead."A flicker of unease crossed Christina's face, but she quickly regained her composure. She pretended to be anxious and asked, "What do you m

Chapter 6

Once again, Joshua lifted my body. But this time, he wasn't his usual composed self.He brushed his fingers gently against my face, tracing my forehead, eyes, nose, and chin. He was trying to recognize the woman he once loved."How can it be you, Samantha?" he murmured in disbelief.The body wrapped in asphalt was barely recognizable. Plus, there were many cuts marring my features. Not even my mother might be able to identify me now."Sammy!"My mother's voice echoed from outside.She ignored everyone's attempts to hold her back and rushed in. There were other corpses in the room, but my mother recognized me at first sight. Even with my body in that state, she could still recognize me!"Mabel-" Joshua reached out to help my mother, but she pushed him aside."Sammy, does it hurt? I… I finally found you!"I leaned against her back and whispered, "It doesn't hurt, Mom. Don't be sad!"It had been a year since she lost me, but it was just the beginning of her endless longing.

Chapter 7

I quietly watched as Edwin showed Joshua a photo. It was a button from a high-end designer coat, one of only a thousand ever made. With this button, it wouldn't take long to identify the real killer. And it was easier for Joshua.I remembered that coat. When he first bought it, I thought it was a gift for me. I had excitedly tried it on for him, only to be met with his furious command to take it off."Do you even think you deserve to wear such a nice coat? That was a gift for Tina!"It was my birthday that day. Joshua had prepared no gifts for me but had splurged on a designer jacket for Christina. Perhaps the memory weighed on him now as he picked up the car keys and headed back home."Welcome home, Josh!" Christina's delighted eyes met his as soon as he walked in the door.I floated in midair, curiosity bubbling inside me. What kind of performance was Christina planning to put on?Joshua coldly brushed her hand away and turned to meet her gaze. "Is there something you're hi

Chapter 8

In the days that followed, Joshua stayed at home, his eyes glued to Christina. He didn't allow her to step a foot outside.I watched as she went from struggling to maintain her composure to being utterly restless, spiraling into a state of sheer hysteria. Perhaps deep down, she knew what kind of ending awaited her.The moment the sirens wailed, Christina's face turned pale as a ghost. I observed as her complexion drained of color, and she forced herself to stand. Then, she opened the door in an attempt to escape, only to be yanked back by Joshua."Where do you think you're going?"His smile was deceptively gentle, but there was a storm brewing in his eyes. I couldn't help but think he had lost it.He had dug up old photos of us and flipped through them one by one, reliving the memories we once cherished. Those snapshots held the echoes of a time when we were seen as the perfect couple and were admired by others.But now, Joshua's demeanor grew darker, and his gaze toward Christ

Chapter 9

Justice had finally arrived.The truth from that fateful day had surfaced at last. Christina had been driving under the influence when she killed someone, and William was merely her scapegoat. And since I discovered her secret, she pushed me into an asphalt pit and murdered me without hesitation.Christina was sentenced to death.Joshua sat in the audience, watching everything unfold with an icy detachment. There was not a flicker of emotion on his face. My mother and William's family sat in the front row, with tears streaming down their faces. I leaned gently against my mother, wishing she wouldn't hurt anymore."Don't cry, Mom. I'm satisfied with this outcome."I was willing to give my life for justice and truth—something I had always believed in. I had died for a worthy cause!Upon hearing her verdict, Christina could no longer contain herself. She stood up and hurled insults at Joshua. "Joshua Stewart, you're a heartless bastard! You gave up on Samantha for me time and

Chapter 10

I felt myself slowly fading away. When my mother took my things, it was like she was stripping Joshua of his very essence.He remained cooped up in the tiny home we had once filled with laughter and love. He tossed out every trace of Christina, desperately trying to erase her from his life."Sammy, please come back! I've gotten rid of Christina! Won't you come back and see me?"Joshua drank himself into a stupor. But I felt no pity for him anymore. Late remorse was worth less than dirt.I watched him, slumped and defeated, and wondered.Who was he putting on this act for?He drank so heavily that he caused himself to vomit blood. Yet when he woke, he ignored everyone's warnings and kept going."Sammy, why can't I even see you in my dreams? Is it because you're still angry with me? Is that why you won't come to see me?"I watched as he gave my mother the house and all his money as compensation. Then, he repeatedly cut his wrist in the abandoned factory where I had died."Sa
