After He Faked His Death, I Chose to LiveChapter 1

Six years after Anthony Henson died in a car accident because of me, I was still unmarried at thirty.

My elders were anxious. My friends urged me to move on. Even in my dreams, he begged me to keep going.

So I agreed to a blind date. On Memorial Day, I went to say goodbye to him one last time.

But the moment I stepped out of the cemetery, a post popped up on my feed.

Sixth anniversary! My husband just bought me another luxury condo!

I stared at the photo, trembling from head to toe, my scalp prickling with ice.

In the picture, the man I had buried with my own hands was pressing his cheek tenderly against the top of another woman's head.

I followed the address and knocked on the door. The instant our eyes met, I froze where I stood.

The woman was Victoria Mason. The same secretary Anthony Henson had fired six years ago for having an affair with him.

——

Victoria's face flickered with panic.

"Nora Whitfield..."

She tried to slam the door shut, but I braced my hand against it.

Just then, voices drifted from the elevator lobby. Anthony's friends, talking among themselves.
