My relationship with Adrian got even worse.
But he still never mentioned divorce, and I continued to act as his wife on the surface as if nothing had happened.
However, a boastful post on social media soon slapped me hard in the face.
Rose and I were mutual friends, and she posted a series of photos with the caption:
After all the twists and turns, it’s still you and me.
She even tagged me specifically.
The meaning couldn’t be more clear.
I covered my belly; the baby had already started kicking. Holding back my heartache and reluctance, I liked the post and congratulated them on getting back together, wishing them never to part again.
Then I sent Adrian the divorce papers.
He had finally won his beloved; although I wasn’t a gentleman, but a scoundrel who had stolen love, I understood the principle of helping others achieve happiness.
After packing my bags, I called my childhood friend.
“Emma, it’s me.”
“…Rachel?”
After
many years apart, I choked up the moment I heard Emma’s voice.
“Can you come pick me up and take me home?”
Emma immediately replied, “I’m booking a flight right now!”
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to wait for her to come pick me up. I died alone in a dirty alley.

“…Rachel?”
After many years apart, I choked up the moment I heard Emma’s voice.
“Can you come pick me up and take me home?”
Emma immediately replied, “I’m booking a flight right now!”
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to wait for her to come pick me up. I died alone in a dirty alley.
From a height of over ten meters, I fell and shattered, my flesh and blood spilling all over the ground.
Even if Emma had arrived in time, she probably wouldn’t have recognized that pile of
mush on the ground as the beauty–loving Rachel.
As my consciousness faded, I could only apologize painfully.
I’m sorry, my unborn baby.
If I hadn’t wanted to see Adrian one last time, I wouldn’t have fallen for Rose’s trap and
been lured to the rooftop to be pushed off.
Rose didn’t break her promise. She dialed Adrian’s number, a new one I didn’t know
about. No wonder I could never reach him.
I fell clutching that phone that was still connected.
Adrian’s voice hadn’t been so gentle in a long time.
“Is that you, Rose? Where do you want to go play later? I’ll pick you up.“.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? What’s going on over there?”
I gripped the phone tightly, not daring to make any sound, afraid of startling him, even though my bones were already broken and blood was trickling from the corner of my mouth.
In the end, even when I wanted to speak, I could only let out meaningless groans, It was

mouth.

In the end, even when I wanted to speak, I could only let out meaningless groans. It was just too painful.
Until the moment I died, Adrian thought I was still throwing a tantrum.
“Is the signal bad over there, Rose?” He sighed softly, suddenly mentioning my name, “Rachel is just too stubborn. Rose, she could never compare to you…”
As my only living legal relative, Adrian soon received my death notice.
His first reaction was outrage.
“What kind of joke is this? Rachel might be unreasonable, but you hospital staff shouldn’t go along with her pranks. She is Mrs. Evans, that’s correct, but you shouldn’t help her deceive me. Bring her to see me, or I’ll have you all fired!”
Even when my reassembled corpse was brought before him, he still refused to believe it.
“Rachel, if you want to act, I’ll play along. Announce that I’m holding a funeral for Rachel Let’s see if she keeps acting then!”
