All Chapters of Three Love Interests, and I’m Aiming for the Death Ending: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

The car soon arrived at its destination.Only then did I realize we seemed to be at an engagement party.Peyton's childhood sweetheart saw me, and her face twisted for a moment.The next second, she and her friends surrounded me."Where did you come from? Who said you could keep clinging to Peyton?"She spoke through gritted teeth.As Peyton approached, she brushed past my shoulder and plunged into the pool. The move was quick and discreet.I fell silent for a moment, then told the system:[I should learn to seize every chance to get myself killed like that.]"Ah! How could you push her?"Her friends shrieked.Peyton rushed to her rescue. Once he pulled her out, he pointed at me and snapped:"Have I been too lenient with you? Have you forgotten your place?""How dare you bully someone I care about?"I raised my eyes and almost laughed."If you don't need me, Mr. Wyatt, you can let me go.""You!"The mockery in my smile seemed to get under his skin.Peyton lost his temper and grabbed th

I opened my eyes.A white ceiling stretched above me.Was I dead? Had I moved to another world?I blinked. When I saw the man beside me, I nearly choked."See? Someone like her would never willingly die.""She has a system to save her no matter what."Shane leaned against the doorway and pushed his hair back in irritation. "She ruined my engagement day."Peyton, lower your affection score."Peyton sat beside my bed and gave me a mocking glance."If it goes any lower, it'll be negative. How about this? Beg me, and I might be generous enough to raise it a little."I gave a faint, humorless smile and ignored him.Gavin waved a hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to feed me."Enough. Since we can't seem to kill her, she might as well stick around and keep us entertained.""Eat your food, Shannon. You still have to witness Shane's big day."I closed my eyes in despair.On the way to the engagement party, I rode in the same car as Shane and his fiancée.Yvonne nestled against him a

Shane was busy with his engagement.The ceremony was long and elaborate, so he sat down and idly swirled his wineglass.As a ghost, I could drift freely through the venue and look at everything they had arranged.I remembered when we had just turned eighteen. Neither of us had any skills to earn a living, so we took whatever odd jobs we could find.One day, a group of thugs pinned Shane to the ground and beat him.I threw myself over him to protect him. The scars on my back never faded.Later, we worked at a restaurant.Shane was good-looking, so they put him out front to greet guests and take orders. I did odd jobs in the kitchen.Every night, he came to find me and emptied a heavy pot of scalding oil for me.By the end of the year, my hands were covered in calluses and chilblains.He wrapped his large hands around mine.We sat on one side of our cold bed. On the other lay the thin stack of money we had saved all year.He blew warm breath onto my hands.Hot tears fell onto my fingers

I watched the chaos that followed my death.I had to admit, it surprised me a little.Then again, they'd lost a toy. Of course they were bored.Gavin took my body and had it cremated before anyone could stop him.By the time Shane reached the crematorium, I was nothing but ashes."Gavin! How dare you?"Shane shouted at the top of his lungs.Only a few days passed, but he had lost all trace of his old charm.His cheeks were hollow, dark circles shadowed his eyes, and his dry, bloodshot eyes bulged in a way that was almost frightening."Shane, she's dead."Gavin's face was grim as he stated the fact."You tormented her until she died. Are you satisfied now?"Peyton stood there too, stunned by the absurd scene.Whenever he was nervous, he twisted the emerald ring on his little finger.But when he looked down, he remembered that I polished the ring myself. For a moment, he thought he saw my eyes in its green stone."I don't believe it! How could Shannon leave me? I was supposed to torment
