Todos los capítulos de Faking Death to Get With Her Brother-In-Law: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Ever since his wife died saving him during a flight mission, Simon Radcliffe had suffered from severe depression and PTSD. More than once, he had wanted to follow his late wife, Eleanor Marlow, into death.However, his mother was getting old, his brother, Jeremy Radcliffe, had a terminal brain tumor, and his daughter, Poppy Radcliffe, was only three years old.Hence, Simon swallowed the pain, gritted his teeth, and held his shattered family together day after day. He carried that weight for three years.Then one day, he received a last-minute notice asking him to come to the school to complete his daughter's enrollment paperwork.When he reached the registrar's office, the administrator told him, "Poppy's paperwork has already been taken care of. Her mom and dad came in together to do it."A sharp pain shot through Simon's chest, but he forced a smile."Excuse me? I'm Poppy's father. Her mother passed away three years ago. I have all the documentation right here."The administra

The reply came almost instantly. [Wonderful news, Mr. Radcliffe, and welcome aboard. The review of your documents will take some time, so please be ready to depart at a moment's notice.]Beside him, Eleanor went on pouring out her love, as calm and patient as ever.Simon had no desire to hear another word. He threw off the blanket and swung himself out of bed to leave.However, when he put his feet down out of habit, one of them met nothing but air. With nothing to hold him up, he crashed hard onto the floor.Only then did Simon see it. Below his right knee, nothing remained.The blood drained from his face.His whole body shook, and his voice trembled. "My leg... Eleanor, where's my leg?"Eleanor's eyes slid away from his for a moment before she lowered her head."Simon, your leg was badly injured. Amputation was the best option."A dull roar filled Simon's head, and his mind went blank.He seized Eleanor by the collar, his voice breaking. "Who said you could amputate my l

Just as the bull was about to slam into Simon, Eleanor cried out and threw herself in front of him without a second's hesitation."Simon, watch out!"The bull rammed into Eleanor and knocked her to the ground. Simon lost his balance as well, and with only one leg to stand on, he went down hard.Eleanor clutched the spot where she had been hit, her face white with pain.Even so, the first thing she did was scramble over to Simon. "Are you okay? Did you hurt your leg? The doctor said the amputation site is really fragile. You can't let it get injured."Seeing Eleanor so frantic and shaken, Simon was caught off guard for a moment."I-I'm fine."The handler rushed over and got the bull under control, then suddenly called out, "Sir, why is there a red cloth tied around your waist? I told everyone over and over again that nothing red could be anywhere near the show."The words were barely out of his mouth when a burst of laughter came from the corner.Eleanor froze. "Poppy! Did you

Simon stood frozen as Eleanor leaped out of the plane without a moment's hesitation.His eyes burned, yet not a single tear came.For all the years they had flown side by side, Eleanor had always pushed him to safety first whenever danger struck.Now he was the one being left behind.Simon took a deep breath, tore himself away from the memories, and stumbled toward the storage locker where the parachutes were kept.Luckily, one last spare parachute pack was tucked in the corner.Relief washed over him. He quickly strapped on the gear and threw himself out of the burning cabin.However, when he judged the altitude and pulled the ripcord, it snapped clean off at a small, nearly invisible cut.Simon's heart plummeted.Someone had tampered with his parachute.Images flashed through his mind one after another. He vaguely recalled catching a glimpse of Jeremy lingering by the storage locker out of the corner of his eye while he was at the controls.Simon closed his eyes as a despa

Eleanor's heart lurched.Simon was gone?A second later, however, she shook her head with a wry smile, convinced she was overthinking it.The nurse had already taken Simon's skin, and he had already agreed to the transplant for Jeremy. There was no way he would leave.He had probably gone to the bathroom, or maybe he had gotten scared and was hiding somewhere.Completely sure of herself, Eleanor gave the panicked Kevin and Marian a reassuring look, then dialed Simon's number."Simon—"She spoke lightly and casually, certain a little sweet talk would be all it took to make him come back like a good boy.She had no idea that, in the next second, a cold, unfamiliar female voice on the line would shatter all of her composure."We're sorry. The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and try again."In that moment, it was as if someone had pressed pause on Eleanor. She stood rooted to the spot.How could Simon's number possibly be out of service?Panic
