Lahat ng Kabanata ng We Parted in Life, Reunited in Death: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

Janice's POVFive years ago, I was injured while skiing and was unexpectedly diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. After forcing myself to break up with my childhood sweetheart, Jason Thorne, I went abroad for treatment.Yet Jason believed that I had fallen for someone else, and his love for me turned into resentment. When we met again, he was about to marry someone else at the foot of the snow-capped mountain where we had skied together countless times.He clearly hated me to the core, so why did he seem utterly shattered when he learned of my death?…"I'll never come back again," I said coldly.Jason's gaze darkened. "Good. That saves everyone the trouble."As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Freya Tyler's hand and walked away without looking back.If I had known Freya would be at this hospital for her prenatal checkup, I would never have agreed to Zayne Gilmore's suggestion to come here for a retest.Zayne was my attending physician and had extensive expert

Janice's POVThe golden retriever knocked me down, covering my face in dog fur and sending a glass of water on the nearby table crashing to the floor.Sharp pain surged through my body, and my breath caught from an allergic reaction to the dog's fur. Zayne immediately lifted me up, his eyes filled with distress.Jason and Freya rushed to check on the dog.Freya said, "It's soaked from the water. It still hasn't recovered from its cold these past few days. I hope it doesn't get sick again. Oh, no, it's bleeding! It must have been cut by the glass."A worried look crossed her face as she turned to accuse me. "Ms. Moyer, even if you dislike me, you didn't have to take it out on the dog. You provoked it on purpose and got it hurt!"I was bewildered, but Shawn quickly pulled several bags of dog treats from the back of my wheelchair. "You used these to tease the dog, didn't you? Are you trying to get close to it so Jason will look at you again? Keep dreaming!" The concern in Jason's

Janice's POVAfter a brief commotion, Jason rushed over and shoved my wheelchair aside. He then scooped up Freya and headed for the exit.My body went limp. I watched through gritted teeth as Jason held Freya with such tenderness. My eyes met her smug gaze, which seemed to say that she had won.Jason didn't even spare me a glance. He judged me without asking for my side of the story, leaving me with no way to defend myself.Someone kicked me hard. I toppled to the ground, alcohol spilling as shards of glass scattered everywhere. It was a pathetic sight.Jason paused in his tracks.Freya clutched her head with one hand and her stomach with the other. "Jason, I really don't know what got into Ms. Moyer. She suddenly swung that bottle at me and said she wanted to kill me and the baby so you could never be happy."It's fine if she hates me, but I don't understand why she would hurt our child. It hurts so much, Jason. Am I going to die?"I lay on the ground with the wheelchair pinni

Jason's POVTime seemed to stretch on forever. This was the first time I truly understood that feeling.With every passing moment, I felt a desperate urge to escape the life I once took pride in, praying for the ceremony to end. The resentment and longing I had bottled up for five years collided violently the instant Zayne announced Janice's death.My turbulent emotions reached their breaking point when I shattered my wine glass and abandoned the wedding banquet without a second thought.Freya's sobbing, my parents' scolding, the guests' whispering, and the waiters' panic created a chaotic scene behind me.However, all that noise came to a sudden halt the moment I stood before Janice's body, hidden beneath a white sheet.Zayne hadn't told me where she was, but I tracked her down myself and arrived just as he was wheeling her out.When Zayne saw me, he shot me a hateful glare. He sighed to himself and said, "We're in a hurry to fly home. I'll give you five minutes. Say something

Jason's POVDuring my time under house arrest, I gradually regained my composure. Once I reclaimed control of company affairs and some degree of freedom, the first thing I did was search for evidence.Just as Shawn had claimed, they had covered their tracks thoroughly, so uncovering proof took me a considerable amount of time. Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain.When Freya was seven months pregnant, I reported her and Shawn to the police for murder and disposing of a body, backed by undeniable evidence.I knew that the Thorne and Torres families would surely use their influence to hire the best attorneys to protect them, so I took preemptive action. I signed two-year exclusive contracts with every lawyer in the field who specialized in this type of case, ensuring that none could represent them without my permission.On the day of Shawn's arrest, he confronted me while still in handcuffs. "You're a lunatic! I still remember how you nearly destroyed yourself over Janice. I o
