Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Bride Who Refused to Die: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

"Breaking news! Bride loses her mind at billionaire wedding!""Guess she wasn't meant for the high life. So close to marrying into money, and she snaps."Below the stage, guests in tailored suits crowded together. Some pulled out hidden cameras and started snapping photos nonstop, while others crouched in corners, clutching their heads and whispering prayers.All because, while Malcom Blair and I were exchanging vows just moments ago, I slapped him across the face, then dragged over a filthy man from the entrance who looked like a homeless drifter and kissed him in front of everyone.The entire hall fell into a stunned silence.I took that moment to grab Malcolm’s cousin, Christine Wagner, by the hair, yank her to the floor, and slap her three dozen times.When I saw her face swell up, I burst out laughing.Her scream finally snapped everyone back to reality. They looked at me as if I had lost it."Has she gone insane? Isn't Christine her best friend? I heard she's the one who

In my last life, Christine uploaded that video online, and the whole internet turned on me.The parents lost themselves in their rage. Right there in the courtroom, they poured gasoline over me and burned me alive.Even now, just the thought of how the flames ate through me down to the bone made my whole body tremble.There was a flicker of satisfaction in Malcolm's eyes, though his face still wore that mask of righteous anger."Sandra, we've been together this long, and only now do I see what kind of cold, vicious person you really are! You're the head of the department. You're the only one with emergency access to the ward. If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?"The families he stirred up were on the edge, eyes red, closing in on me like they wanted to tear me apart. They kept pressing closer."Everyone, stop!" Jack stepped in front of me, shielding me. "This is a hospital! Who gave you the right to act like this?"As soon as he finished, a line of security guards appea

In the surveillance footage, the kids looked healthy, their cheeks flushed as they slept peacefully in their small hospital beds. Every now and then, one of them would mumble softly in their sleep.A parent standing up front spotted their child and lunged for my phone."That's my daughter. She's alive!"Hands shot out from behind, all reaching for the phone at once."My baby's alive, too!""My son's okay!"One by one, as each parent confirmed their child was safe, the crowd broke into overwhelming sobs.They clung to each other, covering their faces as they cried. The sound spread like a wave, loud enough to stir the sleeping children.A slightly older boy climbed out of bed barefoot and walked under the camera."Dad, why are you crying?"Dr. Hill said if I keep taking my medicine for a few more days, I can go home soon."He grabbed a tissue and waved it in the air, pretending to wipe his father's tears.Watching that, I felt a quiet sense of relief.All the effort it took

I grabbed her wrist and pried her phone out of her hand. The screen lit up, showing the same video of me setting the fire.I scrolled down. A photo popped up, showing Malcolm from a girlfriend's perspective.The moment I saw it, everything clicked. Now I knew why Malcolm and Christine had worked together to destroy me in my last life. The truth was right there.Calmly, I handed the phone to the police.Christine saw the photo as well, and panic hit her fast. Sweat beaded along her temple."Sandra, that's my phone! That's my privacy! What right do you have to hand it over? And those officers have been siding with you this whole time. How do we know you didn't bribe them?"At that, the officers immediately took out their badges. They had been around long enough to know exactly what that kind of accusation meant."Ms. Wagner, slandering an officer is a crime. You'd better watch yourself. Until the evidence is fully processed, you're both suspects. You'll stay right here."Just t

After watching the police take Malcolm and Christine away with my own eyes, I turned and went back into the hospital.Once I handed everything over to the doctor covering my shift, I went home.Two days later, I got a call from the police. The video analysis results were in.Both videos Christine had provided were confirmed to be AI-generated.The second fingerprint on the lighter came back, too. It was Christine's.The forensic team also reconstructed the footage. The person dressed in a white coat and hospital scrubs, pretending to be me, was Christine.Once the truth came out, it spread across the internet fast. Before long, both Christine and Malcolm were being condemned everywhere.A few months later, the trial began.As the victim, I was allowed to sit in and watch.Based on the evidence and the police investigation, the judge delivered the verdict. Malcolm's crimes were severe and had caused a major social impact. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.Christine, as a
