Chapter 6
“Dexter... Phoebe doesn't want you to marry me.” Melody sobbed as she spoke.
“Leave her alone. We're gonna get hitched no matter what, and she'll crawl back
when she sees she’s out of moves.” Dexter assumed that I was deliberately
throwing a wrench into his and
Melody's engagement party.
He made it public like he couldn't wait to shout it from the rooftops. He figured
that once I realized I couldn't change things. I'd back off and leave him alone. But
what he didn’t know was that I had let him go for a long time.
If I were still alive, I'd probably be on a plane out of Sea City by now.
“Dexter... Why does Phoebe hate me so? She pushed me down the stairs, which
nearly killed. me, and now she’s trying to wreck our engagement ceremony with
these dirty tricks. Hailey would never agree to this if she knew,” Melody cried.
Dexter's face turned even uglier. “What else can she do besides sweet—talk my
mom with her tricks?"
I laughed sarcastically and couldn't even be bothered to explain anymore. It's not
like he could hear anything’l said. He never listened to me when I was alive, let
alone now that I was dead.
Dexter and Melody went to the bedroom, and I sat on the couch like a total mess.
Laughter occasionally burst from the room, like a knife cutting through my soul..
Looking down at my stomach, I could feel my very soul trembling. That unborn
child just vanished along with me.
If Dexter knew I was dead with his baby in my belly, he'd probably wake up
laughing from his dreams. At last, someone had taken care of the problem baby
for him.
“Buzz!”
At 3 a.m., Dexter's phone rang.
“Hello?” Dexter sounded annoyed.
“Mr. Fitzgerald, we've found a headless female body in Mystic Rivers Valley. The
bracelet on her wrist is confirmed to belong to your sister Phoebe. Please come
and identify the body.”
Dexter sat up abruptly, his breath hitched.
Thunder roared outside the window, and Dexter's head was suddenly splitting
with pain.
“Phoebe?” At the flash of lightning, Dexter thought he saw a figure in the living
room.
It looked so much like Phoebe.

I watched Dexter in surprise. Can he actually see me? I wondered.
But soon after, Dexter cursed, grabbed his coat, and got ready to leave.
Melody woke up too and came out barefoot.
“Phoebe, don't blame me. Blame Dexter for being too attractive. All women just
want him. I didn’t expect you to be so gullible to truly believe what I said. Well,
you deserved to die.”
I rushed at her crazily, trying to strangle her while screaming out, “You killed me,
it was you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!”
With all my might, I tried to take down the woman who caused my death, but I
couldn't do a thing; my hands couldn't even touch her.
I couldn't take my revenge; I was powerless.
In the Homicide Division.
“The victim was sexually assaulted before her death, and the clothes on her body
were not her
own.”
Dexter stood next to the autopsy table, and he was all stiff, “Phoebe lost the
bracelet two months ago.”
“Are you sure it's this one?” the cop asked.
“Yeah, it's from my grandma...”
The bracelet was meant for the future daughter-in-law of the Fitzgerald family,
and he gave it to me on my eighteenth birthday.
