Carter told me he searched through all of Snowville and couldn’t find Sergio. If he hadn’t poisoned me, why would he seem so guilty?
I stood alone in the room, no one to answer me.
It felt as if I had been abandoned on a deserted island. The room had many comic books, novels, some art supplies, and a tablet.
However, the tablet wasn’t connected to the internet, though it had plenty of movies and mini–games downloaded.
Every now and then, food would be brought through a rectangular hole.
Sometimes it was afternoon tea, sometimes fruit, and sometimes a full meal–each meal was different and nutritionally balanced.
At first, I didn’t dare eat the food brought to me.
But after a whole day of hunger, I could feel the baby inside me becoming restless, its movements increasing in frequency.
I had no other choice. I feared for my life, and I feared for the baby’s safety.
Things had come this far, and all I could do was survive.

Only by could I have a chance to see Carter again.
I started eating the food and tried to rest.
At this point, I had a feeling I understood his plan: he simply locked me in this room, kept everyone away, and eventually, I would forget everything–including Carter.
There
as no pen in the room, so I sat in front of the drawing board and drew day and night.
I sketched
Cry memory I had of Carter, one drawing after another, day after day.
But his face became more and more blurry in my mind. At first, I remembered him clearly, but gradually, all I could recall was his tall nose and the deep affection in his eyes.
Stacks of drawings piled up beside me, and time passed. I glanced at the calendar I had made.
I had been on this island for exactly one month.
That day, I picked up my pen. My muscles had formed a habit, and I began drawing.
But strangely, I could no longer remember what Carter looked like.
I flipped through the portraits I had drawn of him, and my fingers brushed over his face. Tears slowly slid down my cheeks.
“Carl, how could I forget you?”
I tried desperately to remember everything about him, but many things had faded into fragments.

Still, I could vaguely recall that he was the man I loved most.
But how had I ended up here? Where had Carter gone?
I pressed my hands to my head, and whenever I applied pressure, the pain in my skull was sharp.
Even so, I continued to dip my brush in paint, writing Carter’s name again and again.
I couldn’t forget him.
The next day, when I woke up, I instinctively walked to where I had stored the art supplies.
But there was no drawing board, and all my pictures were gone.
I stood there, lost in thought. What am I supposed to do?
Had somethingbeenplacedhere?
Whatam I searchingfor?
I felt like I had forgotten something important. Every time I tried to think about it, a sharp headache followed, so I tried to ignore it.
Days passed, and I forgot everything. My mind was foggy, and every day felt the same.
That morning, when I woke up, I found the door to my room had been opened.
I put on my coat and cautiously walked to the door, scanning the outside warily.
I had no idea why I was here or where I was supposed to go.
A kick from the baby in my belly made me look down at my rounded stomach.
I was pregnant? And from the looks of it, about five months along. I could even feel the baby moving.
Who was the father of this child? Was it Luke?
But why couldn’t I remember anything?
I was in a large house; even the stairs were carpeted. It was spotless, eerily quiet, as if no one had been here in ages. Was this my home? Why did it feel so unfamiliar?
As I walked across the thick carpet and reached the door, I noticed the ceiling must have been over 20 feet high, and the door was especially large.
Through the window, I could vaguely see the beautiful garden with various flowers, especially the vibrant hydrangeas in full bloom.
There were rose bushes, fruit trees, a wooden swing, a mushroom–shaped house, and wild rabbits hopping
on the lawn.
It looked like something out of a fairy tale, so beautiful.
I stood barefoot on the soft grass, feeling a little pricked, as the sea breeze lifted my white dress.
In the distance I saw the ocean and un on the hills there were white sheen grazing The green grass rinnled

as the wind passed over it, a sight to behold.
The garden was a sea of blooming flowers, making me feel lighter and happier.
I sat on the swing, the whole scene in front of me so strange.

Suddenly, the swing was pushed from behind. Before I could even look back, I felt my body swaying.
The wind picked up, and I gripped the handles tightly, calling out, “Slow down.”
“Okay,” came a deep voice from above, strange yet somehow familiar.
The swing slowly stopped, and a tall man stepped in front of me. He wore a white shirt, black pants, and his shirt was buttoned up to the top.
Silver–framed glasses sat on his nose, and he looked refined and scholarly.
I stared at him, as if I had seen him somewhere before.
“Who are you? How did I get here?”
He slowly crouched down and reached for my
feet.
I instinctively pulled them back, eyes wary.

The readers' comments on the novel: Even after Her Death (Chloe and Luke)
I take back my compliment and this is another novel I stop reading. Why are there so many chapters missing!!!! If much rather pay to read than read the rubbish on this site...
Finally a good story with mostly uninterrupted reading due to garbled paragraphs, which is evident in most of the other novels I've tried reading and given up on I'm thoroughly enjoying it!...
