The day that should have been the happiest of our lives turned into a tragedy. My love, Damian, collapsed and never woke up. My heart shattered into pieces—I couldn’t understand why this happened to us.
The next day, his family—whom Damian hadn’t invited because of their strained relationship and their hatred for me—showed up, accusing me of causing his death. While I couldn’t grasp why they’d think that, his best friends told me Damian and his family were incredibly wealthy, but he was too modest to flaunt his fortune. For the year I’d known him, he worked hard but never showed any signs of being rich.
Three days later, after his funeral, I couldn’t bear the pain anymore. I called a taxi to take me to the airport—I just needed to get away.
But as I sat in the car, I heard a painfully familiar voice: “Fasten your seat belt, please.”
I froze. When I looked in the rearview mirror, I saw Damian’s eyes staring back at me.
“But how?!” I screamed.
Damian gave a small, almost apologetic smile. “I’m sorry, love… I had no choice.”
The Return of the Dead
My chest tightened. “No choice? You faked your death on our wedding day? Do you have any idea what you put me through?”
He gripped the wheel, his knuckles white. “If you knew the truth, you’d be in danger too. My family… they’re not just wealthy, they’re powerful. I married you against their wishes. They wanted me gone—and if I didn’t play along, they would’ve made sure you disappeared instead.”
Tears blurred my vision. “So you let me bury you? You let me believe I lost you forever?”
Damian’s voice cracked. “It was the only way I could protect you. But I couldn’t stay away anymore. They’re watching me, and now they’ll come after you too. You have to trust me—we need to leave tonight.”
I didn’t know whether to slap him, kiss him, or run. My world tilted, the grief I carried now twisted into fury, betrayal, and a terrifying new reality.
A Dangerous Escape
We drove in silence for a while, my heart pounding so loudly I swore he could hear it. Finally, I asked, “Where are we going?”
“To a safe house,” Damian muttered, his eyes flicking nervously to the rearview mirror. “We’ll regroup, and then I’ll explain everything.”
But before we even reached the outskirts of town, headlights flared behind us—bright, blinding, and far too close. My stomach dropped.
“They found us,” Damian whispered. He swerved down a side road, accelerating. The car behind us followed.
I clutched the seat, my fear fighting against my anger. “Damian, if you’ve dragged me into some twisted family war, I swear—”
“Hold on!” he shouted, spinning the wheel. The car lurched, tires screeching. We barely made it onto a dirt road, the other vehicle skidding as it tried to follow.
Finally, after a tense chase, we lost them. Or so I thought.
The Truth About Damian
At the safe house—a cabin deep in the woods—Damian finally poured out the truth.
His family’s wealth wasn’t from legitimate business. They laundered money, bought politicians, and eliminated anyone who crossed them. He had spent years trying to break free, but when he fell in love with me, they saw weakness.
“They would’ve killed you to teach me a lesson,” he said, grabbing my hands. “So I staged my death. But when I saw you at the funeral… broken… I knew I couldn’t let it end that way. I had to come back.”
I stared at him, my tears drying into anger. “You didn’t protect me, Damian. You destroyed me. You made me mourn you while you were alive. Do you have any idea what that does to someone?”
He bowed his head. “I know I don’t deserve forgiveness. But I need you to survive this. With me—or without me.”
The Final Betrayal
Days passed in tense hiding, but one night I woke up to whispers outside the cabin. Damian was on the phone. His words froze my blood.
“…Yes, she’s here. Don’t worry. Tomorrow, I’ll hand her over. Just promise me you’ll leave her alive.”
The room spun. My grief turned to rage, and then clarity. Damian wasn’t my protector—he was delivering me like a lamb to slaughter.
I packed quietly that night, slipping the small revolver I’d found in the cabin drawer into my bag. When Damian returned, he looked startled.
“Where are you going?” he asked, feigning innocence.
“To finish what you started,” I said coldly.
His face paled. He stepped toward me, but I raised the gun. My hands trembled, but my voice was steady. “You already killed me once, Damian. You won’t do it again.”
The End
At dawn, I left the cabin behind. Later, I called his family’s lawyer anonymously, sending them proof of Damian’s betrayal—bank records, coded messages, enough to turn them against him.
That same night, news broke that Damian had been found dead in a “family dispute.”
I felt no joy, no victory—only release.

And me?
I finally walked away from his ghost, free at last.
