Chapter 28
“Being buried together with you would only taint Phoebe’s path to heaven, Stella
spoke weakly as she struggled to stand up. “Dexter, you're bound to regret it
when you finally see this. woman's true face...”
I stood behind Stella, my voice hoarse as I uttered, “Dexter, those who betray the
trust of others will go to hell.”
Dexter averted his gaze. “The truth will be revealed come the day of my wedding
in two days.”
He still stubbornly chose to believe that I didn’t die yet.
After leaving the police station, Dexter released his hold on Melody's hand. His
figure looked.
forlorn.
“Dexter...” Melody noticed his unusual demeanor and held him up as he almost
collided with an iron door.
Dexter waved her off, “I'm fine...”
“Dexter, is there a chance that something really did happen to Phoebe?” Melody
carefully asked tentatively.
I wasn't sure why I was following them, perhaps I longed to shred them into
pieces.
“No!” Dexter suddenly lost his composure and yelled at Melody. “She’s not dead!”
Melody flinched, her face turning pale.
Realizing his outburst, Dexter massaged between his eyebrows, “I'm sorry,
Melody... You go. ahead. I still have some matters to deal with.”
“Dexter... you still care about her, right?” Melody asked, tears brimming in her
eyes.
“Speak clearly, Dexter!” Melody yelled and chased after him when she saw him
going ahead, and tears streamed down her face. “You said Phoebe was just like
a sister to you. What are you afraid of? Isn't it perfect if she’s dead? This way,
she won't haunt us again.”
Dexter's footsteps halted abruptly. He turned around and looked at Melody with
furrowed brows, “She’s not dead! She'll surely appear at our wedding ceremony
two days later.”
“What if she doesn’t show up?” Melody nervously inquired.
“No... She'll be here.”
Dexter kept repeating that I would appear as if he was out of his mind.
I watched him and snorted. Maybe part of him had believed that I was already
dead.
Who in their right state of mind would pull out all ten of their own fingernails to put
them on someone else's body?
Dexter must know deep inside that I would scream when I saw a bug, let alone
commit murder,
He wouldn't be crazy enough to think I was the serial killer.
Seeing Melody off with the driver, Dexter walked away into the night on his own.
I followed Dexter and observed him with a sarcastic gaze,
“Shouldn't you be relieved now that I am dead?” My voice came out raspy, fully
aware that Dexter wouldn't hear me.
Surprisingly, he halted and sharply looked in my direction before he turned back
with a disheartened expression and massaged between his eyebrows.
Taking out his phone, he opened my WhatsApp chat.
For the first time, I saw my chat pinned to the top of his phone screen, a sight I
found laughable. Was he afraid of not being able to find me when he wanted to
taunt or humiliate me
immediately?
“Phoebe, you win.” Dexter sent me a message as he mumbled with a hoarse
voice. “Come back. and as soon as you do... I'll call off the marriage with
Melody.”
He leaned against the wall as if he was doing almsgiving or pitying.
Guess the ten fingernails today really scared him.
I gave Dexter an ironic look and stood right in front of him, “You pushed me into
hell when I loved you; it was you who killed me, Dexter.”
Dexter messaged me over and over again, but it's impossible for me to reply to
him anymore.
Dexter, I was dead. No one could save me now.
My hopelessness now was nothing compared to when I was alive.
I remember the day when Dexter learned of my feelings for him, his eyes were
filled with disgust.
“I see you as my sister, and the Fitzgerald family provides for your needs. Is this
your sick idea of gratitude?” He tore my love letter in front of me and scolded,
“Focus on studying and getting into college. I don’t want to see you engaging in
puppy love.”
The look in Dexter's eyes was something that really made me desperate.
In fact, he was utterly clueless that I had moved on from my feelings for him
since the day he tore my letter.

There was a long period of self-doubt when I wondered if I was indeed terrible

Dexter crouched on the ground, repeatedly sending the message for me to
return.
As I watched his pathetic state, I couldn't help but chuckle.
Was this karma?
Would I return now?

I looked forward to the day when he realized the whole truth, that it wasn’t me
who had pushed her down the stairs.
I harmed nobody; instead, I was the one being bullied behind closed doors.
