My Husband Begged to Leave Me for His Dead Ex on My Deathbed Chapter 08

“Jason, I… I—”

Her face went white. He understood.

He didn’t confront her. Not yet.

“It’s okay. You still saved me. That hasn’t changed.”

He’d marry her anyway.

But Nina’s face fell. No relief.

Hadn’t he fallen for her in the last few weeks?

Was it only because she’d saved him?

She forced calm.

“Okay, Jason. Let’s get engaged.”

The ceremony went on. Blood on his forehead, a fiancée who’d framed his childhood friend.

Nobody dared speak.

Then the big screen switched to a video.

The day of his accident.

A woman dragged him to safety. Cleaned his wound.

“Look at that—fate brought them together.”

The crowd murmured in agreement.

“Wait—that figure looks like the old Young heiress.”

Someone saw it. The woman in the video was thin, tall.

Nothing like the woman on stage.

Someone in the crowd shouted, “That wasn’t her! That was the Young girl!”

Nina’s face drained of all color.

Her ex-husband, Ryan Zeller, stood in the crowd.

He’d come to destroy her.

He’d used that video to blackmail her in the last life.

This life, he wanted revenge.

Nina screamed.

“Shut up! Shut up!”

Jason raised a hand.

He asked her calmly.

“It wasn’t you?”

She tried to run, but her dress tripped her.

“I’m sorry, Jason—”

“On purpose?”

She sobbed.

He pulled her chin up.

“Where’s my red string?”

She’d burned it.

His eyes went black.

His hand closed around her throat.

People rushed in.

“Mr. James, calm down! Murder is illegal!”

He let go only when someone said Stella’s name.

Whispers spread.

“She looked so innocent—faked saving him, framed the real one.”

“What a mess this engagement turned into.”

The moon rose over the sea. Fireworks exploded.

The diamond words mocked him.

“Jason, don’t go!”

She grabbed his ankle.

He kicked her off.

“Get lost.”
