Ethan had signed the consent form without hesitation, ending the life of our unborn child. Then, while I was still recovering, he had me committed to a**nt*to you! I was blind to trust you..." My cries and curses were met with indifference. "The mis**carriage was traumatic, "he told the doctor, his voice devoid of emotion. "Take good care of her." As I watched him leave, my heart sank. He had no idea that I wouldn't whisked
be staying at the institution for long. Days after signing the divorce papers he sent, I was whisked away to a derelict building on the outskirts of town. Blindfolded and helpless, I was pushed from the rooftop...
The sickening thud of impact echoed through the empty shell of the building, dust. swirling around me. I felt the crunch of bones, the warmth of my blood seeping into the dirt...
Even in death, I couldn't escape Ethan. An invisible force drew my spirit to his side. He was at the sprawling Carter estate, his arm around Evelyn, finalizing their engagement with her father. Mr. Carter was clearly pleased with his future son-in-law. And why wouldn't he be? Ethan was charming, successful, exuding an air of effortless charisma.
I stood beside them, a translucent observer, my gaze fixed on Ethan. The sight of him. in the same suit he had worn to ask for my hand in marriage sent a pang of pain through my spectral heart.
"It's not an expense, it's an investment," he had said back then. "An investment in our future, and a sign of respect for your parents. I may not be able to give you the world, but I promise to make you ppiest woman alive."

The words still echoed in my ears, the suit remained the same, but the man...
The Carters were a prominent family, and Evelyn's engagement was a grand affair. Hours of meticulous planning stretched late into the night. Mr. Carter offered Ethan a guest room, but Evelyn interjected. "We're getting married, Dad. No need to be so formal." She snuggled closer to Ethan.
"You're shameless, Evelyn!" her father chided, but his voice was laced with amusement.
"I don't care! I want to be with Ethan!"
Ethan patted her head indulgently. "Be good, Eve. I have to get back to the city. Enjoy your time with your parents."
"Then I'm coming with you!"
Amidst teasing laughter, they left the estate.
They drove back to Ethan's apartment in the city, the place that used to be our home. The furniture was arranged as I remembered it, but everything that had once belonged to me was gone.
The sound of running water indicated Evelyn was in the shower. Ethan worked in his study, his brow furrowing slightly as Evelyn, clad in his shirt and still damp from the shower, closed his laptop.
