All Chapters of Gone Gray: My Husband After My Fake Death: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Ms. Granger, your purchase of our staged death service is successful. When the time comes, we will erase your identity and arrange a death that meets your expectations so that you can leave without worries," the staff member on the other end of the phone said politely.I responded with a flat hum. "Set it for three days from now. I need time to pack my things."After hanging up, I dragged my aching body back toward the hospital room. I had barely reached the door when I ran into my husband, James Lambert. The moment he saw me, concern flooded his face as he hurried over."Darling, you just fell into the water. You haven't recovered yet. How could you get out of bed on your own? Come on, lie back down."He helped me onto the bed, carefully tucking the blanket around me.Once I was settled in, he pulled a small box from inside his thick down jacket and gently placed it in my hand. It was still warm."Here. Your favorite pastries," he said softly. "I caught a flight to Ashville to

My heart felt like it had been pierced straight through by a blade, the pain so sharp it stole my breath. I clamped both hands over my mouth, forcing myself not to cry.I couldn't bring myself to keep watching, so I turned and ran. Unfortunately, I slipped in the process and crashed to the ground, eating a mouthful of snow while my skin tore open and blood flowed freely from the wound.The searing pain finally broke the dam. All the grievances I had bottled up over the past few days surged out at once, and my tears fell in heavy drops.After I cried until I had nothing left, I dragged my exhausted body back to the hospital.Not long after, James rushed in. "Darling, my assistant said he couldn't find you when he came to bring your meal. Where did you go? Don't scare me. I'll lose my mind if I can't find you."Would he really?I glanced at the scratch marks on his chest and felt nothing but irony.Looking away, I replied calmly, "I felt suffocated, so I went out to watch the snow

When the time came, I wouldn't leave James with anything but a fake corpse.Just as I finished burning the last of it, James walked in and caught sight of the flames. "Darling, what are you burning?"His eyes narrowed sharply when he saw the remnants of jewelry in the fire. "Aren't these yours? Why are you burning them?"I gave him a calm look. "I didn't like them anymore, so I burned them."It wasn't only the things I had grown tired of. It was him as well.I thought James would be angry at my words. I never expected that instead of getting upset, he tenderly tapped my nose. "If you don't like them, burn them. I'll bring you to buy new ones tomorrow. We can also pick out your dress for the anniversary gala at the same time."He wore that same warm, tender smile that used to make my heart race. Now, all I could do was sneer inwardly.James must have forgotten our agreement. We had promised long ago that if either of us wanted to separate, words would be unnecessary. All we had t

As I answered the call, I accidentally put it on speaker. The staff member's voice carried through the room."Ms. Granger, everything is ready. We're just waiting for your signature. Once that's done, you'll be free to leave without any worries."James stopped mid-step and turned back, grabbing my hand. "Leave? What do you mean by that? Darling, you're leaving?"I smiled. "Don't overthink it. My best friend is going abroad. I'm just helping her handle some paperwork."Hearing that, James let out a sigh of relief. He gave me a long, unreadable look, and after a moment of hesitation, he still chose Cassandra over me.The truth was, if James had asked more questions or even glanced at my phone, he would have seen that I wasn't handling any travel documents at all.Unfortunately, he did neither, which was fine by me. That way, I could leave without a single burden.After they left, I took a car to the fake death service center.When I saw the silicone body, crafted to mirror me exa

Cassandra's mouth was bloodied from the slap, and that finally lit her fuse. She snapped back without holding anything in."Is this really my fault? Wasn't it you who came crawling to me in the first place, begging to be my lapdog? When Elsa was still alive, you never cherished her. You played both sides. Now that she's dead, you suddenly regret it? Spare me the fake grief!"The video exploded the moment it was uploaded. The truth everyone had suspected was finally out in the open. James had cheated during his marriage.Public opinion flipped instantly.The netizens who had been pitying James just moments ago transformed into ruthless keyboard warriors, tearing both him and Cassandra apart."You lying, cheating jerk, stop acting like some hopeless romantic. Gross.""Two trash bags made for each other!""No wonder Elsa dumped you. You asked for it."Before people had even finished savoring that drama, Morgan jumped into the fray. Not long after, he shot straight to the top of th
