All Chapters of She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Eight Years Ago Dave's POV Eight years ago, before Rachel and Nathan's marriage finally collapsed, before the divorce papers were signed, before Rachel would ever lie on a hospital bed fighting for her life because of the kidney she would eventually give away, I was already watching from a distance, studying every part of her life and pretending that the obsession I carried inside my chest was nothing more than concern for someone I cared about. I knew Rachel was married to Nathan, and I knew that Nathan loved her deeply, perhaps more deeply than I wanted to admit to myself at the time, but what bothered me most was not the fact that they were together, it was the way Rachel looked at him whenever his name was mentioned, with a softness in her eyes that made me hate Nathan more than anything because I wanted those eyes to look at me instead. I wanted her. I had wanted her for longer than I was willing to admit, and the more I watched her marriage, the more convinced I became that

Dave’s POV One year later... after dave hired Melissa, I used to believe that once Melissa entered Nathan’s life, everything would happen exactly the way I had planned, and for the first few months, it actually looked that way because she played her part so perfectly that even I sometimes forgot she had been hired to destroy a marriage. She became Nathan’s friend first, the person he could talk to whenever he was angry with Rachel, then she slowly became the woman he searched for whenever he needed comfort, and before long, Nathan had fallen so deeply into her trap that he stopped seeing Rachel as the woman he had once promised to love forever. At first, I was satisfied. Whenever my men brought me updates, I listened while they told me that Nathan was spending more time with Melissa, that he was staying out late, that he was becoming irritated whenever Rachel questioned him, and that the arguments between the married couple were becoming more frequent. I did not have to do any

Nathan’s POVWhen I finally opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the white ceiling above me, and for a few seconds I could not remember where I was or why my whole body felt so heavy, but then the pain in my side suddenly hit me so hard that I groaned and tried to move, only to feel a sharp pain travel through my body and force me back against the pillow. I slowly turned my head, and that was when I saw Rachel sitting beside my bed, her eyes swollen from crying, her hands tightly clasped together as she watched me with a worried expression, and the moment I recognized her face, all the fear and confusion inside me turned into anger. “You,” I shouted, my voice rough from the surgery, and Rachel immediately stood up from the chair as if she had been waiting for me to wake up. “Nathan, you are awake,” she whispered, moving closer to me with tears already gathering in her eyes. “Thank God you are awake. I was so scared when they took you into the operating room, I though

Rachel’s POV Back to the present I stared at the address on my phone again, making sure I had not misunderstood it, before looking at Nathan, who was sitting beside me with his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “This is the place?” I asked, my voice trembling despite how hard I tried to keep myself together. “Yes,” Nathan replied, checking the information one more time. “The investigator confirmed it. Dave is inside that building.” The moment he said those words, my heart began beating faster, because no matter how angry I was with Dave, no matter how confused I had become after Betty's threats and the terrible video she had sent me, he was still my husband, the man I loved, and the father of my children, and knowing that he was somewhere inside that abandoned building while Betty had control over him was enough to make every other thought disappear from my mind. “Drive faster.” Nathan looked at me for a moment, perhaps wanting to say something, but he eventually turned his a

Rachel’s POVMy mother’s body went limp before my eyes, and for a moment I could not understand what I was seeing because everything had happened so quickly. One second she had been standing there listening to Nathan tell my father the truth about Dave, and the next her eyes rolled back and her body collapsed onto the floor, making my heart stop as I screamed her name and rushed toward her.“Mom!”My father moved faster than I had ever seen him move, catching her before her head could hit the floor and lowering her carefully onto the sofa while I stood there shaking, tears running freely down my face as I held one of the twins against my chest.“Call the doctor,” I cried, my voice breaking. “Dad, please, call the doctor.” “I’m calling him now, baby girl,” he said, already pulling his phone from his pocket with trembling fingers. “Just stay calm, your mother is going to be fine.” I wanted to believe him, I desperately wanted to believe him, cause i don't want anythi
