I had never been the favorite of my family since I was young. When I got hurt, I had to bear with it, and when I got sick, I had to bear with it. All I had to do was go to sleep, and everything would be okay, but when I opened my eyes next, I realized I was floating in the air.My physical self had expired next to the car, while my assistant, Kara Sawyer, turned pale as she tried to stop the bleeding on my forehead by carefully placing tissue on it. The young woman's eyes were red as she called out to me softly, "Please wake up, Madison… Just hold on a little longer. Don't go to sleep."I wanted to wipe the tears from her face, but my fingers went through her. When I looked at the pale face below me, which had stopped breathing, I realized I was dead, and all I could do was look apologetically at Kara. Kara was an intern who had not yet completed her university studies, but she had to face death because of me, and was forced to stay with my corpse, her fingers trembling from fear.

It took a long time before Evan stood up to head to the balcony to light a cigarette. I immediately reached out to take the cigarette from him. "You shouldn't be smoking. It's not good for you." However, my hands passed through him, and I was taken aback. I smiled bitterly as I remembered I was dead, but it had been a habit for years, and it came naturally to me to get concerned over Evan.There was a cold look in Evan's eye as he took a deep breath and called his assistant. He probably did not notice the frustrated tone in his voice. "Stop Madison from creating a scene if she comes looking for me the next few days. Don't let her come to the hospital and disturb Nikki's rest."His assistant was briefly silent. "Ms. Scofield hasn't asked about you the last few days, she…" Evan hung up before he could finish. He glanced at my last text and clicked hard on his phone to block my number in anger, and he turned off his phone after that. If this were before, I would have started panicki

By the time Evan arrived, Nikki's frail body was standing shakily on the balcony. Evan's eyes widened as he said nervously, "Don't be rash, Nikki. What am I going to do if anything happens to you?!"Nikki's face was covered in tears. "Everyone on the internet is saying really mean things about me. They're calling me a slut and the other woman in your relationship, Evan. I can't take it anymore. Madison said I was a vixen and a slut too, and I don't blame her. She's your fiancée, after all, and my existence is a mistake."I looked at Nikki in shock. How was I able to say all those things when I was already dead? I had no idea I could not get any peace, even in death, and I was being framed for things I had never done.Evan looked tense as he hugged Nikki tightly in his arms while Nikki showed him the mean texts I had supposedly sent her. I wanted to laugh at this 'evidence' that was filled with obvious mistakes. It was not cleverly crafted at all, and Evan would never believe them.

"What's all this?" Evan gestured for his bodyguards to put Kara down as he frowned. "I can't believe you went this far with your performance. It doesn't even bother you that this is all bad luck. Should I applaud your performance?"Kara curled into a ball on the cold floorboards, and she laughed miserably when she heard Evan's question. "She's really dead, Mr. Jones. You can find the signed agreement papers for her cremation in the drawer. The funeral parlor tried contacting you, but you were so busy frolicking about with Nikki Shore that you didn't even bother picking up the call."Fortunately, Mrs. Jones was kind enough to sign the papers. If you don't believe me, you can call her to confirm this for yourself."Evan's face fell, while Nikki covered her mouth daintily, "Why would Mrs. Jones do something like this? She's putting on this act with Madison just to force you into…""Shut up!" Evan suddenly interrupted Nikki. This was the first time he ignored the tears in Nikki's eye

Nikki was tied up, and she looked at Evan in a panic while he stood in front of her, looking calm and composed. "I thought you saved me that day when I saw you taking care of me the moment I woke up. I didn't expect you to be just trying to steal my necklace. You were only pretending to take care of me when you saw that I was about to wake up. How stupid of me…"Several homeless men walked into the room while salivating. They looked lecherously at Nikki, wanting to tear off her clothes right away. Nikki trembled while screaming, "You can't do this to me, Evan! Have you forgotten how you promised to love me for your entire life? You said you would give me a grand wedding!"Nikki tried to struggle out of her bonds, but all she managed was to give herself deep, red gashes on her wrists while being tied to the chair.There was no emotion in Evan's eyes, and he did not seem to hear anything Nikki said. All he did was look coldly at her with a smirk on his face. "Love you? A grand weddi
