Chapter 57
1 abruptly woke up and started gasping heavily.
The room was already dark. The sky outside the window had also darkened. Unexpectedly, I slept all
afternoon.
Steven was still sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at me. I was so startled to see his gaze that my
heart ached.
It was hard not to be scared when I woke up and saw the murder suspect staring at me.
I rubbed my eyebrows, a little confused. “Don’t keep staring at me. It’s scary.”
He lowered his head but soon looked up at me again. His eyes were bright under the illumination of the night light as if he wanted to see through me.
I felt guilty for no reason, so I looked away. I feared that Steven would discover I wasn’t the original Stephany.
“Dinner is here.”
He pointed to the food on the table, asking me to finish my meal. I dared not to eat it as there must be aphrodisiacs in it.
“I won’t eat it. I have no appetite.”
Steven thought for a moment before saying, “If you don’t eat, you won’t be able to stand the hunger.”
“I can’t stand it even more after eating it…” I complained softly.
He looked at me and said again seriously, “I’m your husband. I can help you.”
My mouth twitched. How could he help me?
“You want to have a child to help the Larson family. I can help you as long as you don’t lie to me. If you lie…
His voice was still gentle, but there was a hint of threat. I didn’t know what he meant, but I felt inexplicably guilty.
What did I lie to him about? Well… I was hiding the fact that I wasn’t the real Stephany.
“I don’t want children. I want to escape. The Larson family…”
I wanted to tell him that the Larson family had nothing to do with me, but I was occupying Stephany’s identity right now. “Forget it.”
If I couldn’t fight, I could only compromise.
“We can’t leave before you’re pregnant.
He seemed to be coaxing me, “Stephie, I’m your husband.”

“Don’t repeat it…” I looked at Steven warily,
I had no idea that I would be married to a possible murderer, let alone that I would have to cooperate. with him to eliminate his vigilance.
I had never thought of handing myself to him.
“I can help you have a baby,” Steven said seriously.
He analyzed it with me from a biological perspective, “After ovulation, the eggs
Can survive in your body for up to 24 hours, so the sperm must wait for the eggs in the uterine cavity in advance. We should have intercourse every other day.”
I looked at him in shock. Did he know what he was saying to me with that serious look on his face?

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
