My Wife Sent Me to Die for Her Childhood Friend—Then Lost Her Mind After I Died

Bianca Blackwell rules her household like a tyrant, and her husband, Ethan Hayes, is the one person she treats with contempt. When Adrian accuses Ethan of hurting him, Bianca demands that Ethan kneel and apologize, but her secretary reports that Ethan has run away. In truth, Ethan is already dead, his soul drifting unseen as Bianca storms into the Male Virtue Academy to drag him back.

The dorm has gone uncleaned for three years, its filth and bloodstains unnoticed by Bianca, who assumes Ethan is staging a pitiful act. She calls his old number, only to be told by a stranger that no Ethan Hayes is known there. Adrian steadies her wavering resolve, and she leaves without seeing the bloody plea written beside the door.

When a whipped student is mistaken for Ethan, Bianca nearly drowns him, and a scream reveals a body in the river, reduced to white bones. Ethan's soul watches, remembering the fish bones Adrian forced him to swallow and the tortures that followed.
