Faking Death: The Breakup of a MarriageChapter 1

In my previous life, my husband faked his death, took all the property and ran off with his mistress, leaving me alone to repay the debts. My life was a mess!

My vicious mother-in-law refused to let me go. In order to immigrate abroad and live a carefree life, she deliberately gave me drugs to cause me to have a miscarriage.

She did not want me to give birth to a grandson for her.

So, when my life was starting over again, I looked at my husband who was faking his death and made a decision in my heart.

In your previous life, you faked your death to trick me. That was why when you really die in this life, I would bury you for real.

“Sister-in-law, you must take care of yourself. No one wants this to happen, but we have tried our best. Erwin has passed away despite failed rescue efforts."

I was helped to come to my senses and the body of my husband, Erwin Chavez, was pushed in front of me.

He was covered with a white cloth and laid motionless.

Erwin's brother-in-law, Foster Armstrong, the doctor who performed the emergency treatment, came over, took off his glasses and couldn't help wiping away tears.
