บททั้งหมดของ My Final Wish: Die in Her Hands: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

After a sleepless night, Joshua Bennett's voice was hoarse, yet his mind was clearer than ever before.In just one week, it would be his fifth anniversary with his wife, Olivia Peterson.This was going to be the most unforgettable present he could ever give her.Once Joshua hung up, his phone lit up again with the top trending headline that had been pinned there for two weeks—"Olivia Peterson Buys Luxury Estate, Hand-Plants Rose Garden to Celebrate 5th Anniversary".Yet another grand public declaration of her devotion to Joshua.The comment section was overflowing with envy."I'm totally obsessed with them! Ms. Peterson is such a diehard romantic. Word is Mr. Bennett is eight years older, and she courted him for three whole years before he gave in.""They're literally a real-life romance novel. Remember that earthquake two years ago? Mr. Bennett got trapped, and Ms. Peterson risked her life running into the rubble. She was covered in cuts and bruises, but she kept digging. When

The phone screen went dark automatically.Olivia paid it no mind and gently patted Joshua's back. "Don't be upset, okay? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you here to be disrespected like that. She might be my mother, but you don't owe it to me to take her toxic behavior. Yell at me if you need to, just as long as it makes you feel better."All the way back, Olivia kept trying to soothe him.Joshua simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.Notifications chimed in the background every so often. For the second half of the drive, Olivia was constantly replying to text messages.When they pulled up to the house, Olivia looked at him with an apologetic expression. "Honey, something urgent came up at the office. Wait for me at home, okay? I'll make sure to get back early tonight."Joshua got out of the car in silence.Once Olivia drove off, he accepted Damien's follow request. Then, he tapped straight into his profile.Pinned at the very top was a post with two pho

Joshua slept late and woke up late.Just as he stepped out of his bedroom, Olivia pushed open the front door and walked in from outside."Honey, I went out and got your favorite chicken pot pie."Olivia presented the packaged pie to him like a prized token. "I kept it tucked inside my coat all the way back to keep it warm. Eat it while it's hot."In the past, whenever Olivia messed up or made him angry, she would always buy a chicken pot pie to make it up to him.Joshua didn't actually care for it that much. He only ever relented and forgave her because he loved her and was willing to accommodate her.What was today's pie for, though? Did she feel guilty after spending an entire night messing around with another man?"Honey, did you see the message I sent you when I left this morning? What time did you wake up?"For some reason, Joshua's demeanor over the past two days was giving Olivia an odd sense of unease."I didn't see it. I just woke up."Joshua picked up his utensils.

Jessica replied, "Olivia went to warm up some milk for you. She said you just recovered from your gastritis and can't have anything cold. Honestly, where else could you ever find a wife as good as her? I'll go grab two more bottles of wine and rush her along while I'm at it."Joshua clenched his fists, a sharp ache twisting in his chest.How many times had Jessica lied to him to be able to pull it off without so much as flinching?He couldn't stay here a second longer. "I'm tired. I'm heading back.""Wait, let me get Olivia."Joshua fixed his gaze on Jessica. "Don't bother. I don't want to spoil her fun."Reading the look on his face, Jessica felt a prick of guilt. "Let me call you a ride, then."Before getting into the car, Joshua stole one last glance at his little sister he had raised with his own hands.Jessica darted her eyes away nervously. "What's wrong, Joshua?"Without a word, Joshua looked away and pulled the door shut.The moment he got home, Olivia called. "Why'd

Olivia replied to the text Joshua had sent her, "Honey, I'll be there soon. I can't wait to see what your surprise is."Yet even as the fireworks bloomed outside the window, no further messages arrived from Joshua. An inexplicable wave of unease began to stir in her heart.Just as she reached for her phone to call him, Damien pinned her hand down. "Olivia, you promised you would stay and keep me company tonight.""I can't leave Joshua there all by himself." Olivia frowned, her mind completely consumed by thoughts of Joshua.She wondered how worried he must have been when she didn't show up.The fireworks for their fifth anniversary only meant something if she was there to watch them by his side."Even if you leave now, you won't make it in time anyway. What difference would a little more delay make?"Damien guided her hand to trace his abs, his gaze burning with heat. "The doctor said now that you're past three months, we can try a few more positions."Olivia's cheeks flushed s
