After My Wife Died in a Plane Crash, I Sold Our House and Ran Away

Chapter 1

1,012 words

The first thing I did after learning my wife died in a plane crash? I frantically offloaded all our assets at rock-bottom prices and bolted overnight.

Why? Because in my past life, after my wife "died," she left behind thirty million in debt.

To pay it off, I had to give our son to my mother-in-law.

I worked three jobs, around the clock, while also looking after my wife's entire extended family.

I pushed myself until I was completely broken.

Ten years later, riding the internet boom, I finally paid off the debt and grew my company into a powerhouse, only to be diagnosed with stomach cancer.

In my final moments, I saw my supposedly dead wife appear with a strange man, holding our son, Liam, and another little girl.

"Thank you, Alex, for all your hard work these past years. Now, the four of us can live comfortably off your money. Oh, and neither of these children are yours."

I was so enraged I died on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day my wife faked her death.
