Chapter 2

2

In my previous life, Vanessa had used our daughter's life to blackmail me into climbing the frozen mountain for Dylan Miller.

To save my sweet, innocent little girl, I ventured into the deadly storm all by myself.

The icy gale slashed across my face like thousands of razor blades, freezing my skin until I could barely keep my eyes open.

Yet whenever I thought of Mia, I gritted my teeth and pushed through the agonizing pain.

It took me three whole days of relentless searching in the sub-zero wasteland to find an unconscious Dylan.

While carrying him down the mountain, we were swallowed by a whiteout and lost our bearings.

While I collapsed from exhaustion to catch my breath, Dylan stole the last few packs of survival rations from my pack and snuck down the mountain alone.

Without food and energy, hypothermia set in rapidly, and I froze to death in the snow.

My wandering soul floated back down to Vanessa's side, only to watch her weeping with joy as she embraced Dylan.

"Thank God it was that useless loser who died instead of you."

Overcome with passion, they kissed passionately right there in front of the rescue base.

Meanwhile, my frozen corpse remained buried beneath the snowdrifts, forgotten by the world, eventually scavenged by wild predators.

Vanessa claimed my massive life insurance payout and threw a lavish wedding with Dylan.

The daughter I had sacrificed my life to save actually served as their adorable flower girl.

She stood sweetly between Vanessa and Dylan, her voice brimming with excitement.

"Uncle Dylan is finally my real daddy! I'm so happy!"

Floating in the air, I watched the three of them spend my money and travel the globe in absolute bliss.

My soul burned with unquenchable fury and resentment.
