Chapter 1

“How’s it going? Has Lisa been behaving in there?”“Don’t worry, Mr. Shane. We’ve been keeping a close eye on her. No one’s come out, but since the second day, after that scream, there’s been no movement from her at all.”Benjamin Shane sneered, a look of disgust twisting his face. “That woman’s tough. This is what she gets for pretending to be my precious Emma’s sister. I’ll make sure she wishes she were dead.”Anyone who saw him like that would think I was his sworn enemy, but I was his wife, and we had been married for three years.What he didn’t know was… I’d been dead for a long time, and my soul was bound to him, unable to move on.Benjamin climbed into the helicopter and flew off. As I watched from above, I saw the dense forest where my body now lay. It was as suffocating as my life was, trapped beneath a canopy of unrelenting darkness.Why wouldn’t he let me go?I had agreed to divorce him, but why wouldn’t he leave me in peace? Was it all because I refused to give Emma

Benjamin stared in disbelief at Emma, her petite frame illuminated by the soft evening light, standing quietly in the yard. Her once sickly, pale complexion had been replaced with a healthy, radiant glow. She didn’t look sick anymore.“Emma, have you finally come to your senses and come back? No matter how sick you are, I’ll do everything in my power to cure you. Just don’t leave again.”I had never seen Benjamin look at anyone with such tenderness. It was like she was the most precious thing in his world—a treasure he'd lost and miraculously found again. On the contrary, when his eyes fell on me, all I ever saw was cold indifference.Why did he marry me if he never loved me? Why drag me into this nightmare of a marriage?Emma nestled into his arms, her voice soft and gentle. “Benjamin, actually, my illness… it's been cured.”Emma then began to tell him about her strange experience overseas.After leaving the country, overwhelmed with despair, she had planned to end her life. How

I didn’t feel cold anymore, but an icy chill still ran through me. I never imagined Benjamin could hate me this much. If he saw my body now, he’d probably feel satisfied.Like a ghost, I followed him, drifting behind as he entered his study. He didn’t immediately sit down at his desk to work. Instead, he stared at the table momentarily before making a call.“Drop some supplies in the forest,” he ordered. “I don’t want her being dumb enough to starve to death and have people blame me for it.”I almost laughed out loud. For a second, I thought he might pity me a little, but it turned out he was just covering his own back, avoiding responsibility.Once that task was handled, Benjamin looked a little more at ease. However, suddenly, the study door opened, and Emma stood in the doorway.“Benjamin,” she said softly. “I haven’t seen Lisa since I got back. What’s going on with her?”Benjamin shook his head. “Don’t worry about her. She stood in the way of your treatment. I couldn’t let th

Suddenly, a commotion erupted at the entrance of the banquet, drawing everyone’s attention.“Where’s Lisa? I haven’t been able to reach her for days. What did you do to her?”The voice belonged to Melissa Zacarias, my only friend and the only person who cared about me since I went missing.She stormed up to Benjamin, her tone frantic. “Where is she? What did you do to Lisa?”Benjamin, still fuming, snapped, “I dumped her in the middle of the wilderness. This is what she gets for betraying me!”“You’ve got to be kidding! You know that could kill her, right? How could you?”“I left supplies for her. She’s not going to die. Besides, she deserves to be punished!”Benjamin scowled and called for security. “Get this crazy woman out of here. She’s just like Lisa.”I watched helplessly as Melissa was dragged away, and the worst part? No one said a word, and the banquet just continued as if nothing had happened.By the end of the night, Benjamin was praised as a kind-hearted man, and E

Benjamin glanced at the stash of wild berries and the bed of straw laid out on the ground, finally relaxing a bit.“I knew that woman wouldn’t die. She’s probably hiding somewhere, watching us search for her.”He turned to look at the thick forest, letting out a cold laugh. “Listen up, Lisa. The moment you show yourself, we’re getting that divorce. Don’t think for a second you can ruin things between me and your sister. If you know what’s good for you, come out and face me. Hiding won’t stop me from divorcing you, so don’t even dream about it.”My body was right here, not far from where they were standing. If they just walked a little further, they’d find me. However, Benjamin had made up his mind that I was fine, so he led the group out of the forest.Oh, how I wished I could call out to them and beg him to let me go. I didn’t want to follow him around anymore. I had suffered enough in this life. All I wanted was to move on and be free of them forever, but of course, no one could

After hanging up the phone, Benjamin dialed another number. “Find out who the man Lisa was having an affair with. For betraying me, neither she nor her lover will get away with it.”I simply watched, indifferent.Once I was dead, everything from my life became irrelevant. Besides, I no longer loved Benjamin, so why would I care if he misunderstood me?Benjamin had hired a private investigator, but after days of searching, they couldn’t find any evidence of my infidelity. The investigator finally called him, confirming I hadn’t been unfaithful.Still, Benjamin refused to believe it. “Then where did that bastard child inside her come from? I’m going to collect every shred of proof of her affair and throw it in her face!”Unfortunately for him, there was no affair to uncover. The private investigator reviewed the security footage from my house and confirmed that I’d been home every day for the past two months, never leaving to meet anyone.Benjamin, convinced that the affair was wit

Chapter 7

Benjamin went to the private investigator’s office, where the screen showed surveillance footage from his family’s mansion.“Mr. Shane, I’ve carefully reviewed your wife’s movements and the comings and goings at the mansion over the past month. It seems that the child is–”Benjamin’s anger flared. “Whose child is it? Tell me.”“It’s yours.” The investigator hesitated, looking uncomfortable. “The surveillance footage from the last six months shows you haven’t been home at all, and when you did come, it was just for a brief stay. But on one particular night two months ago, you stayed home the entire evening. That’s right around the time your wife was pregnant.”Benjamin felt his legs buckle and staggered back. “You’re saying… it’s my child? No, that can’t be!” He checked the date, then called his assistant, only to learn that the date in question was marked as a personal trip. The assistant had dropped him off at a bar and then gone home.Benjamin’s memory started to come back. He

Sleeping in his bed disgusted me, and hearing his apologies made me feel sick. Still, I couldn’t forget what Emma said. I wanted to remind him, but I didn’t know how.Benjamin locked himself in his room for a full day and night, until the housekeeper came to knock on the door.“Mr. Shane, an elderly lady is here. She says she can help you to see the person you want to.”Benjamin gave a bitter smile. “The person I want to see is dead.”Nevertheless, he stood up and went downstairs. I followed behind him and saw the old woman as well. The moment my eyes landed on her, I felt as if she could really see me. I couldn’t explain why, but it felt like she was looking straight through me.Benjamin’s voice was hoarse. “Who are you?”The old woman didn’t even acknowledge Benjamin. She kept her gaze fixed on me, and our eyes met.“Child, you’ve suffered,” she said.Her words were filled with such pity that I felt an overwhelming sense of comfort. It was as if I had finally found a place

He rushed forward, reaching out as if to touch me. However, I was nothing more than a spirit now, and he couldn’t touch me. Even so, I took a step back, not wanting to touch any part of him.Benjamin’s eyes darkened with sorrow. “Lisa, please wait for me. I’ll take care of everything here and then look for you. I truly love you. I can’t live without you. I can’t…”His words were empty now. No one would believe him anymore. I scoffed. “Benjamin, what good is saying all this now? You’ve killed me and our child. I’ll never, ever forgive you.”His face turned pale. “I know I was wrong. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.”However, I didn’t want to hear any of it. “Benjamin, I didn’t come to listen to your apologies. I came to tell you that my death is connected to Emma. I heard her mention that she wants me never to rest in peace. You need to stop her!”At that moment, the old woman’s face changed, and she quickly began muttering a chant. “This girl speaks the truth. Someone’s using a soul-b

“Hurry, we don’t have much time! When Benjamin gets back, he’ll notice I’m gone. After today, that wench will never get in our way again.”Benjamin couldn’t take it anymore. He stormed in, shouting, “What’s going on here?”The entire basement was set up like a dark ritual, with red cloths covered in strange symbols hanging from the ceiling. On the floor, my skeletal remains were inscribed with more of those ominous markings, casting eerie shadows under the dim light.Emma froze. “Benjamin, what are you doing here? I came to get my sister’s soul set free. Her death was so tragic, and I want to do one last thing for her.”I couldn’t believe Emma was still lying, even now. Benjamin’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. “Don’t think I didn’t hear you earlier. You’re sick, and you traded Lisa’s life to save your own, haven’t you?”“There I was wondering how she could end up dead when I had combed through the forest and found no wild animals there. This whole thing… It’s all your doing!”
