All Chapters of My Husband's a Liar (And I Can Hear It): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In my previous life, my scientist husband, Ryan Costa, had taken his secretary, Clara Gibson, deep into a high-risk zone to fetch a reagent. I had led an elite squad to escort and protect him the whole way. When a horde of zombies closed in on us, he refused to leave and insisted on waiting for Clara to bring back the reagent. However, Ryan had never successfully developed anything in the past five years. To ensure my squad's and my survival, I knocked him out and hauled him away. When he woke up, he accused me of running away like a coward and had me sent to the stake to be burned.When I opened my eyes again, I saw him standing in front of the helicopter and refusing to let us leave. I was about to say something when I suddenly heard his inner thought, "Clara should have grabbed her makeup bag by now. I hope she brings something back with her. If not, I won't be able to explain things to Alice."It was as if a grenade went off in my head. I stared at him in dumbfounded shock.

Although we didn't have a confirmed date, at least we had a promise from the higher-ups. That was enough for Ryan to finally relax.The safe house was well stocked, but everyone tacitly agreed to conserve supplies to leave something behind for whoever might come after us. Well, everyone except for Ryan and Clara. With Ryan taking the lead, Clara indulged herself and wasted the supplies without batting an eye.They threw away the fat from the canned meat, bathed with bottled drinking water, and even used precious medical supplies as face masks. It was as if the safe house existed solely for the two of them.And every time, I could hear Ryan's thoughts clearly. "Clara eats so delicately, unlike Alice. She always cleans her plate like she's never seen food before. What's with those looks they're giving us? "They don't understand how researchers need to maintain a certain quality of life. Alice loves me so much. She'll smooth things over for me like always."After learning about

"That's impossible!" Ryan screamed, ripping his badge off and holding it up desperately before the soldiers. "Look carefully! I am one of the nation's most important researchers. How could my name not be on the list?"The soldier replied. "General Rosenthal personally confirmed this list. Our orders were to bring back Colonel Ashford and her squad."Another soldier added, "I should correct you. Colonel Ashford is the crucial researcher. With her weapon designs and battlefield guidance, our survival rate improved dramatically."The hint of reverence in his voice stabbed at Ryan's pride."Shut up! Shut your trap! You don't know anything! All you do is charge forward at command without thinking!" Ryan snapped.I interrupted him lazily. "Ryan, I think you should be more concerned about figuring out who gets on the aircraft."He choked and was at a loss for words, his lips twitching. After a moment, he roared at me, "Alice, what is going on?"I raised my voice slightly and said a lit

After three days and two nights of flying, we finally reached the base. Everyone was exhausted. As soon as we landed, I immediately arranged quarters for my squad.With his arm around Clara, Ryan seemed to regain his old arrogance the moment his feet touched home soil. He said coolly, "No need to assign me anywhere. I'll take Clara back to the lab."The so-called lab was, in fact, the private villa I had earned with my contributions to the military. It was supposed to have been our home, but he barely let me in after I went on my missions. He complained that I'd sully the place with dirt and the stench of blood I carried.Matt stepped in front of Ryan to block his way. I strolled over, twirling the keys around my finger.I said lightly, "Oh, I think I forgot to mention this to you. Starting today, the villa belongs to my squad. There are seven rooms, so one is assigned to each of us. There's no place for you two."Ryan's face turned scarlet as he questioned, "What kind of joke is

"Out of the way!" I shouted sharply, raising my gun and firing.Ryan couldn't die yet.To my surprise, he rolled to the side with surprising agility and pulled a small metal sphere from his lab coat. He hurled it hard at a zombie's face. The creature screeched, clawing frantically at itself before collapsing motionless within seconds.I blinked in surprise, momentarily stunned. Ryan gave a bitter smile. "Alice, I'm not useless. I really did create something. It's just… Compared to what you designed, it's like a child's toy."There was no time to dwell on it. My squad and I moved in formation, clearing the remaining zombies.Ryan didn't cower as he used to. He waited for the right moments to toss those small spheres to take out the zombies that ambushed us from behind.Luckily, this area had been mostly cleared earlier. There weren't too many left. After a few tense minutes, we finished the last of them.I strode up and slapped him hard across the face. Ryan was trembling, and hi
