After I Died, My Husband Broke Up With His First LoveChapter 1 The Betrayal
Before I reincarnated, I finally got to see my husband, the man I'd been pining for day and night.
But what awaited me at my own grave was a scene I never expected. My husband, Ethan Collins, was standing beside a heavily pregnant woman, both paying their respects to me.
"Hannah, I know I've let you down. Rest in peace."
"Hannah, don't worry, I'll take good care of Ethan for you."
A surge of fury burned through me. A rage so intense it felt like it would tear me apart.
What a pair of vile, shameless cheats!
In that moment, I decided I wasn't ready to reincarnate.
No, I'd stay right here, close to these two, and make their lives a living nightmare.
I trailed behind Ethan, my spirit floating silently as he walked back home.
"Ethan, why did you change the locks?"
"I've told you countless times. We're done. Besides, this is my house now. Why wouldn't I change the locks?" Ethan replied, his tone sharp and impatient.
It had only been a few months since my death, yet my father had aged terribly.
His hair had turned completely gray, and his once-straight back was now hunched over.
Yet, Ethan seemed more energetic than ever.
He draped his arm around the woman's waist, a cold smirk playing on his lips. "There's nothing to discuss about the company. You're old enough to enjoy retirement now, so just let it go."
I recognized the pregnant woman. She was Sabrina Kane, Ethan's cousin from his hometown.
And now it all made sense. This was nothing but a carefully orchestrated con.
I'd never seen my father like this before.
He'd spent his whole life fighting his way to the top, building the Stone Group into a powerhouse, and it was just about to go public.
But then I died at the worst possible moment.
"Ethan, no matter how much you despise us, you can't just ignore what's right! This house was bought for Hannah. How can it suddenly be yours?"
"This house is part of our marital assets. She's gone now, so as her legal heir, it belongs to me. What's so unreasonable about that?" Ethan shot back. His irritation barely concealed.
"Please, Mr. Stone, just go home. It's getting late, and today is Hannah's memorial day. Let's not make a scene."
Sabrina pulled out a key and opened the door.
Together, she and Ethan shoved my father outside, slamming the door shut behind them with a loud bang.
