When I died, He Was Dating His First Love

I was kidnapped and murdered. Instead of seeking justice for me, my husband begged his first love to marry him and take charge of his household.

When he received the note I wrote before dying, he just frowned slightly and said, "She always takes advantage of matters of life and death to force me into things I hate."

Five days after my death, Gregory Mason, the Commandant, personally came to investigate a murder case in which the female victim's head was cut off.

He and the coroner carefully examined all the wounds on the female corpse. Since the victim died in an extremely miserable way, they both concluded that the murderer must have a deep grudge against the victim and did it on purpose.

Gregory just didn't notice the precious bracelet on my hand, which was given to me by his mother when we got married.

They smashed my body into pieces and dumped them in the downtown area.

A stray dog at the market was running through the crowd with an arm in its mouth, scaring the vendors almost to death.

Ladies wearing veils were also horrified by the scene. Soon, the Commandant in the capital heard of the news.

The soldiers rushed around, searching non-stop for a whole day in the city, and finally got some of my body parts together.

However, despite their searching for another day, they still failed to find the head of the body.

My husband, Gregory Mason, was the Commandant in the capital. He was responsible for solving cases and catching criminals.

He brought the best coroner in the capital to examine my body parts. They covered their mouth and nose, carefully turned my body parts, and looked into them for a long time.

When he moved my right arm, the jade bracelet on my wrist was revealed. He frowned, eyes filled with disgust.

But it was a beautiful jade bracelet. It was a gift from Gregory's mother. Yet Gregory didn't recognize it.

Based on the false assumptions, Gregory estimated that the dead was no more than 20 years old and the wounds on her body were the result of days of torture.

"This is Santiago, the capital city where the emperor lives. I can't believe such atrocity exists here. I wonder who this unlucky girl is. The murderer even tied her up for days, cut off her flesh piece by piece, and let her bleed to death!"

The head of the soldiers who was waiting for Gregory and the coroner outside was furious when he heard this.

"This is too much, my lord. But we haven't found the girl's head yet. She was cut into pieces and then dismembered. The murderer must hate her to guts that he resorted to such cruel way to kill her!"

Gregory returned to my body, reaching out and lifting my right arm.

'Gregory, you can't take it off.' I wanted to stop him, only to find that my hand could go through my broken body.

I couldn't do anything to stop him. I watched him take off the jade bracelet. He looked calm, but I still hoped to see a hint of emotion in his eyes.

But no, there was nothing.

"My lord, this jade bracelet looks familiar." Coroner Linch had been working with Gregory for years. He met me twice before. Could it be that he recognized me?

"Not all the fine jade in the world is so pure. Go to the wealthy families in Santiago and ask if there are any girls who have been betrothed before the age of 20."

Gregory casually handed the bracelet that I treasured to his men to investigate.

The soldiers searched for several days but couldn't get any results in Santiago.

When Gregory's mother found him, she had tears in her eyes. My mother-in-law liked me a lot.

It had been days since she saw me, who could always cheer her up. So, my mother-in-law must miss me.

"Gregory, the bracelet you found was my gift to Rosa. She's been missing for days now!"

Gregory looked at the bracelet in my mother-in-law's hand with a cold expression. I looked at him infatuatedly, wondering if he was a little sad.

"How could she die? A woman so vicious like her must have given the bracelet to someone else to lure the thugs away for her!"
