Chapter 1

When my fiancé proposed to the woman of his dreams, they finally found my body.

I had been dead for three long years.

My remains had been hacked into pieces, and my face was destroyed beyond recognition.

Not a single person who once loved or knew me could identify me.

Not even him.

Everyone who saw my body felt a chill down their spine.

What kind of deep-seated hatred would drive someone to do this?

The killer had mutilated me so badly that I didn't even look human anymore.

They didn't even spare the unborn life inside me, cutting me open to discard my tiny hope like trash.

My fiancé, fueled by a sense of justice, picked up his scalpel.

He intended to dissect me, piece by piece, to uncover the truth for a stranger.

Suddenly, his eyes turned bloodshot.

The truth… oh, the truth!

I laughed, but he finally lost his mind.

“Did you guys hear?

Officer Jace took over half of the restaurant today just to propose to his sweetheart!”

“That sounds like Jace. He’s the rising star of the forensics world, after all.”

I stood under the sunlight I hadn't felt in years, staring at the man in front of me.

Everything felt like a blurred dream.

Jace was dressed perfectly, looking sharp as he led Serena onto the stage.

They looked like the perfect golden couple.

He always had a face that could charm anyone.

It was no wonder Serena had been driven to madness for him.

His colleagues from the police academy were cheering and whistling.

“Give her a kiss! Give her a kiss!” they shouted.

Jace frowned almost imperceptibly, but he didn't pull away.

Instead, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss against Serena’s cheek.

The room erupted in applause, and Serena buried her face in his chest, blushing deep red.

This scene should have belonged to my wedding.

Unfortunately, I was already dead.
