The walking dead

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Huo Wuer
Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

Before i slept off in Caleb's house i saw him waving goodbye at me with a knîfe in his hand.

After few minutes of unexpected sleep in Caleb's house i opened my dying eyes, it was filled with sleep. I fought the fillings and opened them wide.

The first thing i set my eyes on was the room's white ceiling, i took a breath at least i was still alive, i felt some pain from different parts of my body. I hope nothing bad happened while i was sleeping.

I remember i saw Caleb with a knîfe before i slept off in his seating room and this particular room differ from the seating room that i slept off earlier.

I shivered as i recalled that Bella was in the same situation as me. I tried putting up my body, my hand were held in two different directions same with my legs.

My body was spread on a flat rock.

I studied the rock carefully, it has some tinny spaces running from the center and moved round. the were connected to different holes.

the holes appear to be a skéletal héad just waiting for permission to open its mouth.

I studied the environment again, it was not the same house i saw when i opened my eyes. Maybe I was still under the influence of drûgs. The environment looked like a cave but it wasn't. Dry bones were placed in different directions.

I struggled to break free from the lock but my hands and legs were properly locked.

"Bella!! Bella!! Bella." I hollered but my voice only echoed in the room.

"Caleb!! Caleb!! Caleb!!" I called out sadly.

"If you're there please I'm sorry just let me and my friend go, i will never set foot in your house again, ever." I broke down in téars as I called out for Caleb's attention.

There was no answer.

I regret ever falling for Caleb's trap so easily.

I closed my eyes for some seconds and opened them immediately i heard the humming sound echoes in the room.

I was unable to identify where the sound came from.

My nose perceived the odor of burning incense.

Within some seconds everywhere was smelling incense.

"Who's there?" I asked with a shivering tone.

I saw some men with black cloaks walked into the room from an unknown opening. Their faces covered with balaclavas.

Their hands were crossed beside them. Their movement were horrible to me but on a normal day, i will call it creativity.

They took their position around. My body was circled by them, there was a space left for the circle to complete.

"Please I'm sorry don't kîll me." I cry out sadly but no one gives me a listening ear.

Someone familiar walked into the room. It was Caleb, his mouth was dripping blóòd, he held a knife in his right hand while his left hand was covered with blóòd.

Caleb walked into the strange room with a blóòd dropping from his mouth and a sharp knîfe in his right hand.

I was scáred when i set my eyes on him, the blóòd on his mouth got me terrified. As he took his move elegantly with the black cloak that he wore made him more scary to me.

the blóòd in his hand dropped on the floor.

The knîfe glittered. I can't believe my eyes that I'm seeing Caleb who invited me to his house holding a knîfe with a blóòd in his mouth.

Why blóòd in his hand and mouth?

He positioned himself in the gap left to complete the circle.

"Caleb!! Caleb!! What're you doing?" I asked with a terrified tone. There was no answer, his silence was so powerful that my heart beat faster than ever.

His eyeballs were covered with pure darkness.

One of them dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a solid white substance and sprinkled it on me.

The second person did the same, that's how the process kept going around. They stopped and hummed some creépy sound.

The room shakes as they keep on humming

The crazy sound danced into my ear, this alone made me shiver.

Caleb brought out his tongue and licked the blóòd that escaped his mouth, he spared me a creepy smile that nearly pulled out my spirit.
