Chapter 1

My body was repatriated back home.My wife, Samantha Langley, was notified to come claim it.As she walked into the morgue, the overpowering stench of decay hit her instantly.She hesitated.Her beautiful face twisted in disgust as she muttered, "He can't seriously think that I'd forgive him for being a criminal just because he used his death to atone for his sins. Dream on!"In the end, her lover, Isaac Henderson, carried her in.My soul lingered behind, watching as Samantha bit Isaac's neck in a fit of rage. Then, afraid of hurting him, she licked it repeatedly, giggling.My heart ached so much it felt like I couldn't breathe.Samantha was flirting with her lover right in front of my corpse.Some of the attending staff couldn't stand it and spoke up.Samantha jumped out of Isaac's arms. She spat on the ground and finally lifted the white sheet off my body.The moment I saw my body, my breath stopped.It wasn't the sight of my body that did it. It was how disgraceful I loo

Chapter 2

My soul followed Samantha home.I watched with my own eyes as she and Isaac lived like a married couple—feeding each other in the morning and entwined in passion at night.I remembered once, years ago, when Isaac carried a drunken Samantha home.Jealousy clawed at me, and I glared at her accusingly.Samantha slapped me hard across the face. "Isaac and I are just friends! Only someone with a dirty mind sees filth in everything!"But friends wouldn't share a bed or kiss each other so passionately.Now, under the warm yellow light of the living room, Samantha carefully laid out Isaac's suit for the next day. She was just like a dutiful wife.That used to be my job. Before every formal event, I'd select her dresses, coordinate her jewelry, and ensure every detail was perfect.She'd scoff at me, disdain heavy in her voice. "Only a poor country boy would know these tricks to serve others. You're nothing like the heir of the Henderson family. You're more like a servant!"And yet here

Chapter 3

For the next few days, my soul was tethered to Samantha.I watched her live with another man in our home, sharing meals and sleeping together, completely immersed in love and affection.I had decorated every detail in the bedroom, from the furniture to the candle holder in the corner.Isaac stepped out of the bathroom and kicked the candle holder in the corner to the ground."What's going on?" Upon hearing the noise, Samantha entered the room.Isaac pointed to the broken candle holder. He sounded innocent as he said, "This was something Joziah set up, right? Kind of romantic, actually. Sorry, I didn't mean to knock it over."Samantha glanced at the broken holder. She paused for a moment, then casually replied, "Joziah always does such things. He's always wasting his time on flashy, useless things, making it seem like he's put in so much effort. He's just trying to impress me. He never thinks about what I actually need."I felt a dull pain spread through me.Was I really just tr

Chapter 4

Samantha sent out a lot of people to look for me, but of course, they couldn't find me.My body was still in the morgue.The police and the coroner kept calling her, asking her to come identify and sign off on the body.But Samantha only trusted her own belief. She was convinced the body was a fake and that I was hiding somewhere, laughing at her.After yet another call from the police, Samantha snapped. She threw things around the villa, furious.Lewis and Elsie came by. They didn't know I was dead.Everyone assumed that my release from prison meant I'd return to Samantha's side—after all, I loved her so much. I was even willing to take the blame for a crime I didn't commit just to protect her.But every time, it was Isaac who came out to greet them. He offered coffee and shared stories of his upbringing under Elsie and Lewis's care for over 20 years.Elsie and Lewis quickly became swayed.They began to think it might be better that I didn't return from overseas. Having Isaac

After another passionate and intimate moment, Isaac gasped for air as he pulled Samantha into his arms."Samantha, I don't think Joziah is deliberately avoiding you. Maybe he's hiding because he has some kind of unspeakable reason."Maybe he didn't want to face people before, but now… maybe he's hiding because of debts? That would explain why he can't show himself.""No way!" Samantha suddenly screamed, jerking out of Isaac's arms."If he was short on money, he'd come back. The Henderson family certainly isn't short on cash! Or he could always ask me for help!"He loved me so much. There's no way he would just avoid me like this. He's just afraid I'll find him and ask for a divorce. He's too scared to face me, so he's hiding!"If he won't show himself, then I'll destroy everything he cares about! Doesn't he still have his adopted parents in the countryside? I'll lock them up and starve them. See if he'll regret it, then!"Isaac's eyes darkened. "Samantha, have you… developed fee

Chapter 6

The police officers eyed Samantha with suspicion.They were probably confused. I had been dead for so long, and Samantha had personally identified my body. Yet, she still refused to acknowledge that I was dead.The officer reiterated once more, "Ms. Langley, Mr. Henderson died in a gun-related incident at Sylvoria Prison a week ago."They glanced at Isaac. "You were the one who accompanied Ms. Langley to view Mr. Henderson's body that day."That day, Samantha was clinging to Isaac outside the morgue. Her actions shocked many in the office, and everyone who saw them vividly remembered them.The officer looked at Samantha helplessly. "Ms. Langley, the office has called you several times, urging you to sign the authorization for release of body and complete the necessary procedures. Why have you been ignoring our calls?"According to the regulations, you are the first in line to authorize the release of Mr. Henderson's body. If you refuse, we'll contact his immediate family to take

Chapter 7

Samantha's body swayed unsteadily.With Isaac's support, she made her way to the morgue.Before signing the authorization form, she insisted on one last look at my body.The staff had complex expressions, as if silently thinking, "Late love is worth nothing."When the white sheet was pulled back, the sight of my decaying body overwhelmed everyone. The stench of decay made the staff cover their mouths and noses, making them hesitant to approach.Even Isaac recoiled in horror, stepping back a few paces.But Samantha, it seemed, was oblivious to it all. Of course, her allergic rhinitis flared up, so she couldn't smell anything.My body had been handled by the mortician, but the stitching was far from perfect.Samantha stared at me blankly with an expression I had never seen in my lifetime. Perhaps it was frustration, regret, guilt, or even sorrow, but it certainly wasn't love.Slowly, she leaned over and reached out her trembling hands to touch my corpse."Do you know? It all ca

Chapter 8

Samantha refused to bury my corpse.She made frequent visits to the hospital's psychiatric department. It was clear to everyone that her mental state was on the verge of collapse.News of my death soon reached the Henderson family.For the first few days, Lewis and Elsie cried their hearts out, devastated by the loss. The entire Henderson household was shrouded in gloom, with everyone grieving my death.The Hendersons even hired a priest to perform a ritual for my soul's peace.But their sorrow didn't last long.With Isaac by their side, Lewis and Elsie quickly recovered. Within a month, life in the Henderson family returned to normal.It made sense, really.While I was their biological son, I wasn't raised by them. Their feelings for me were there but shallow.The ones who truly mourned me were my adoptive parents. Overwhelmed with grief, they coughed up blood and ended up in the hospital's emergency ward.To her credit, Samantha paid for their medical bills and subsequent r

Chapter 9

I had thought that Samantha would drag out my burial indefinitely.But to my surprise, three days later, she organized a grand funeral and laid me to rest.I drifted among the crowd, attending my own memorial service. I watched as they lowered my coffin into the ground.Samantha, however, remained eerily emotionless throughout the ceremony.As the funeral drew to a close, Mom suddenly stormed in. She actually stopped the burial.In the ensuing argument, Samantha was slapped across the face. The sound of the slap echoed loudly.My mom, a humble country woman who had lived meekly, never dared to speak out against anyone. Yet, she was now striking Samantha twice at a high-profile funeral with many guests in attendance.Ignoring the others' attempts to stop her, she screamed like a madwoman, "You ruined his life! You ruined it! What did Joziah ever do to deserve this? You heartless bitch! You've even made sure he can't rest in peace after death!"Mom was shoved to the ground by sec

Chapter 10

My soul had wandered for so long, and lately, I've had the sense that my time in this world was drawing close. Driven by obsession, I followed Samantha in a haze.After Mom was taken away at the funeral, she had been demanding that Samantha return my body.She was a simple rural woman, unrefined in speech and having lived an honest life. Yet she had taken this matter to the media for my sake.My soul had grown weaker. As I watched Mom tirelessly fight for me, tears welled up in my eyes.As things escalated, Dad, still recovering in the hospital, also gave an interview to the media.He had spent his life doing hard labor and lacked education, so he wasn't articulate in his speech. He cried uncontrollably in front of the camera.The turning point came with Samantha's confession letter.In the letter, she confessed her crimes. She admitted that the body at the funeral was not mine but Isaac's, whom she had poisoned.She didn't go into detail about why she had done it.The news
