My husband, Damian, used my family’s fortune to become a god in the tech world. But he only ever worshipped one person: his childhood sweetheart.
When she shed a tear, he promised vengeance.
He dragged me, pregnant and pleading, to the top floor of his glass tower. He called it my “reflection chamber.” I called it a coffin. He sealed me inside the cold, humming metal and walked away.
My last breath was a prayer for the child he would never know.
I thought that was the end. But in the darkness, I opened my eyes. I was no longer in the cabinet. I was standing beside it, watching.
A ghost, trapped in his world.
Just then, his assistant’s voice crackled through the phone in his hand. “Mr. Blackwood… Mrs. Blackwood… shows no vital signs.”
I watched my husband’s face, waiting for the flicker of horror, of regret. Instead, a slow, cruel smile touched his lips.
“She’s playing games,” he murmured, his eyes glittering with a chilling light. “Contact the crematorium. If she wants to play dead, we’ll show her the consequences.”

What He Did After I Died

Under the dim, humming emergency lights, the server cabinet with the dark stain seeping from its base stood out like a monolith in the middle of the room.


What a bizarre sight. I actually felt a flicker of fear.


But after some thought, why should I be scared? I should be the one bearing the greatest grudge in this room.


Oh, well. I had always been timid. Since I had died in such a horrifying way, I found myself subconsciously scared of my own corpse.


Damian walked to the center of the room and stood before my metal tomb.


I floated around him and noticed his legs were shaking. For some reason, I suddenly wanted to scare him. I blew a cold draft against the back of his neck.


His legs immediately gave out, and he stumbled, falling against the cabinet.


I found myself regretting my actions a little.


He fell against my body, so my corpse was probably going to look even worse.


Damian immediately scrambled away and looked around nervously. Finally, he calmed himself.
