Semua Bab Let My Death Complete Your Rhythm: Bab 1 - Bab 9

After discovering that Jude Pearson was still in love with my stepsister Thalia Yates, I had already made up my mind to disappear from their lives. I reached out to my friend, Naomi Clarke, and started putting together a flawless fake-death plan.Just as we were finalizing the details, I caught the familiar scent of disinfectant—and there he was, Jude, walking in with a bouquet of roses. He wrapped his arms around me from behind and nuzzled affectionately, asking, "What are you working on?""A few things for my research paper," I replied casually."Don't worry about your paper, honey. I've got you," Jude said as he gently massaged my shoulders like it was the most natural thing in the world.For seven years, I had been the woman everyone envied. After all, he was the kind of man who seemed disinterested in everything. He gave up his right to inherit his family business, pursued medicine with unwavering focus, and eventually became the chief clinical advisor for the surgical socie

Jude nodded. He was just about to get the car when Thalia suddenly grabbed his hand. She whimpered, "Jude, my stomach really hurts. Can you take me to the hospital?"He instinctively reached out to support her, then glanced at me with guilt flickering in his eyes. He hesitated for a second. "I'm really not feeling well. I'm sure Lyra will understand," Thalia said gently.He looked at me as if asking for permission. However, his body was already guiding her toward the car."It's fine. I'll head over first and wait for you," I replied.He immediately looked relieved. "Alright. Just wait for me and don't go anywhere. I'll come pick you up in a bit." After saying this, he helped Thalia into the car, leaving me watching their retreating figures. Meanwhile, I called for a ride and headed to the spot outside the city. Once I arrived, I called Naomi to confirm the plan.Soon, I would "die" here.After ending the call, I saw Thalia's Instagram post. The photo showed her lying in a h

"Ms. Thalia Yates from the Regenerative Medicine Research Institute has been exposed for academic plagiarism, with multiple medical institutions demanding over 100 million in damages." I sipped my coffee while listening to the morning news. Thalia's research had been exposed as plagiarized and fabricated. As a result, all her previous awards were revoked, and multiple institutions were jointly suing her.She had spent all of our family's money, but it still wasn't enough to cover the compensation. The ex-fiancé she had stolen from me dumped her without hesitation. Dad was furious over the disgrace she brought to the family and kicked her out of the house.All of this had been a parting gift I left her before faking my death. I had always wondered how Thalia, with her academic performance, could have created so many groundbreaking research studies. I should've realized earlier that Jude had been behind it all along.It wasn't hard to find proof at home, especially when I still ha

That morning, the news reported that Jude had officially severed ties with his family. Ever since my disappearance, he had spent every day searching for me. His mother, Helena Roberts, had been pressuring him to return to the family business after he lost his medical job.Instead, Jude cut all ties with his family and planned to leave the place for good. More than once, he appeared on camera expressing how much he missed me. He stood before the cameras with red-rimmed eyes and a face full of despair, declaring, "My beloved Lyra isn't dead! She can't be! I'll find her. She's my only wife!"I took a sip of my coffee calmly, not feeling anything. Jude had never loved me this deeply before, and I never expected that my "death" was required to awaken his love. Nonetheless, I no longer needed anyone's love because I had every reason to love myself. Based on my dedication and work ethic, I was quickly promoted at the hospital. At the same time, I didn't give up my research in regener

Jude crumbled instantly. "I'll do anything you want, as long as you can forgive me!" I said, "You never loved me, did you? Our marriage was a lie from the very beginning!"He panicked, scrambling to explain. "No! No, it wasn't like that! I was just stupid. I didn't realize that I've always loved you… It's always been you!"I was getting a headache from his shouting, and Thalia suddenly went crazy when she heard those words. She snapped, "It's all your fault, you filthy bitch! You ruined everything!"Then, she sprang up from the floor, grabbed a vase off the side table, and hurled it at me with all her strength. Lucas instantly pulled me into his arms.Jude reacted just as quickly, stepping forward to shield us. The vase shattered, and the fragments cut his forehead. Thalia looked at him in shock.Jude's head was bleeding as he said coldly to her, "Enough! From this moment on, I never want to see you again. Get out of my life." It was the first time she had ever seen him
