Even after Her Death by Rita Bond
Chapter 10
Billionaire Is 10
After Carter left, Luke lingered by the cold, empty riverside, staring at his phone.
The screen flickered with notifications, but none were from me.
He was probably thinking about the past. I'd noticed long ago how his attitude toward Anna had shifted, and it upset me more than I liked to admit.
But each time, after my anger flared, I'd wonder if I was being petty. Anna was his stepsister, after all. There was nothing wrong with him being kind to her.

He just smiled, even covered in dirt. "I couldn't leave you up here. The thought of you being scared made me want to grow wings and fly to you."
Back then, I
I didn't understand love. All I knew was his embrace was warm, and I wanted him to protect me forever.
Now, even though this mess was his fault, he felt no guilt. He thought I was the one being unreasonable.
Once someone's heart changes, even their breathing feels like an offense.
By
the fourth day after my death, Luke finally started to panic.
He opened our chat thread, staring at the last voice message he'd sent.
