You Faked Your Deaths to Punish Me?! That’s Illegal, Family! novel Chapter 49

Chapter 2

After I died in my past life, I didn’t come back right away. I floated above everything, watching.

That’s when I learned-

While I was on the run from loan sharks, Chloe had been secretly looking after my parents.

After I died, when the collectors tracked down my parents, Chloe threw herself in front of them-literally took a knife for them.

When my parents collapsed from grief after my sudden death, she took them in. Treated them like her own.

How could someone like that ever betray me over some guy?

I ignored those strange thoughts entirely and threw my arms around her, nodding over and over.

“You’re so right, Chloe. God, there’s definitely something wrong with him. Thank God I got out when I did.”

I pulled out my phone and, without even reading his flood of messages, blocked my ex-boyfriend Wyatt Calloway on everything.

The memory of being chased by debt collectors every day was still vivid.

This time, I wouldn’t make the same mistake.

I wouldn’t hurt the people who actually cared about me.

But even though I blocked Wyatt, he wouldn’t leave me alone.

“Maren, please. I’m so sorry. Last night-it was all just a stupid misunderstanding.”

“I swear I grabbed the wrong bag by accident. Look, here-this is the one I actually bought for you.”

“And I got you this necklace too. The one you’ve been eyeing forever. Please, just… forgive me, okay?”

“I promise you, nothing like this will ever happen again. I swear.”

When I didn’t respond, Wyatt grabbed my hand.

to forgive him.

ored him, he started showing up every day with a new gift, waiting downstairs,

he’d keep coming until I changed my mind.

I just smiled coldly and let him waste his time.

Because I knew his debts were about to catch up with him.

Once the collectors came knocking, he wouldn’t have time to bother me anymore.

And I’d already found a new place. I was moving out soon.

This time, I’d finally be free of him.

Chapter 2

But on the day I planned to move-right when I’d calculated the debt collectors would show up-Wyatt was still there.

“Wait… why are you still here?”

I stared at him, holding yet another bouquet of flowers, and froze.

I remembered this day clearly.

In my past life, this was three days after Wyatt and I got married. We were about to visit my parents.

But before we even left, loan sharks blocked our door.

They had knives. Threatened to cut off our fingers if we didn’t pay up.

That’s when I found out Wyatt wasn’t some billionaire-he was a gambler drowning in debt.

That’s when my life on the run began.

So why, in this life, was he still standing here like nothing was wrong?

But what shocked me even more was what came next.

Wyatt didn’t smile or beg for forgiveness like usual.

He just looked at me coldly.

“Relax. Me being here? It’s got nothing to do with

Chloe?

you. I’

just helping Chloe move.”

I followed his gaze and saw him walk over to Chloe, picking up her suitcase.

And she didn’t stop him. She just handed it over like it was the most natural thing in the world.

“Chloe… what are you doing?”

I stared at her in shock. The stuff in my hands fell to the floor.

But Chloe-who just moments ago had been excitedly talking about our new place-suddenly turned ice-cold.

“Maren, you already know. So I’m done pretending.”

“Wyatt and I? We’re together now. And honestly, I should be thanking you for getting out of the way.”

“I mean, where else was I gonna find a guy this perfect?”

Her words hit

nife to the chest.
