My fiancé and I were both members of an archaeological team.
Just because his pure love wanted to see what an ancient tomb looked like.
He broke the rules and secretly took people down into the tomb at night.
I chased after them, only to find they had accidentally triggered a mechanism inside.
In that critical moment, my fiancé tightly grasped his pure love's hand and escaped the tomb.
Trapped inside, I could only plead with him desperately over the radio:
"Quickly report the situation to the team leader and request a rescue."
But he scolded me: "Stop pretending! If I report this, getting disciplined is the least of our worries. Melody could face criminal charges! Be more understanding and don't try to hurt her on purpose!"
"Melody's injured. I'm taking her to the hospital now. Get yourself out of there quickly!"
What he didn't know was that I had just injured my leg trying to save him.
And his pure love had seized the opportunity to shove me into the deepest chamber of the tomb, sealing off my escape route.

Buried Alive In an Ancient Tomb, I No Longer Love Him

The intercom had barely finished echoing my agonized scream.


Granger stared blankly, his expression hesitant.


Suddenly, Melody grabbed his face and kissed him directly.


"Granger, forget about Seraphina. Why don't we get married?"


I thought Granger would joyfully agree.


But he looked at Melody very seriously and said, "Melody, I have to marry her."


Hearing those words now, even I find them laughable.


Granger, the person you want to marry has long been abandoned by you, dying miserably in that ancient tomb.


As daylight gradually broke, Granger stayed by Melody's side.


Fearing she might be too shaken, he asked the doctor to set up an IV drip of glucose for her.


He held her extremely tenderly, letting her sleep with her head on his shoulder.


But his gaze kept drifting towards the intercom, growing increasingly anxious.


"Granger, the ancient tomb has collapsed! We found your and Seraphina's belongings at the scene, but no one can reach her. What the hell is going on? Get over here right away!"


When he heard they couldn't contact me, a flicker of panic crossed Granger's eyes. The phone on the other end kept urging him to provide an explanation.


At that moment, Melody tugged gently on his sleeve, pleading with puppy-dog eyes:


"Granger, I'm about to start my concert, and you promised you'd come watch, so..."


Granger's eyes hesitated for a moment, but ultimately he chose to protect Melody once again.


"Seraphina went down to the tomb on her own in the middle of the night, accidentally triggering a mechanism inside that caused the ancient tomb to collapse. I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her..."


I stared at him in disbelief, wanting nothing more than to grab his shoulders and demand answers.


"It's one thing if you don't love me, but you know full well that archaeology is my most cherished career, my lifelong pursuit!"


Yet with those flippant words, it was all erased!


Unfortunately, no one could hear my desperation and anger.


Granger simply turned his head and gave Melody a slight smile.


"Don't worry, your performance won't be affected."


"If Seraphina dares to lie, she'll have to pay the price. Otherwise, she'll never learn her lesson!"


Not long after, the archaeological team arrived at the hospital. The project manager also arrived. He was a highly respected senior archaeologist.


Looking at his dignified face and graying hair at the temples, my eyes instantly welled up with tears.
