Ethan's first love was accidentally locked in the office. To punish me, he locked me in an abandoned cold storage unit to reflect on my actions. "You need to taste what Lily went through, so you'll learn your lesson!" He locked me inside with only a bowl of water. But he didn't know it wasn't abandoned. After he left, the unit turned on. I froze, trembling uncontrollably, crying for help until my bloody handprints covered the door and walls. Seven days later, he wanted an apology and had the unit opened. He found a frozen corpse. 1 Ethan checked the time after a busy day. "It's been three days. Has Chloe admitted her mistake yet?" "That woman is stubborn!" His first love, Lily, entered with chicken soup. "Ethan, let it go. She didn't mean to." "Three days is enough." Ethan's expression softened when he saw her. "You're too kind. If Chloe had even a fraction of your understanding, it would be great." "Don't be mad at her. She just cares too much about you." Hearing this, Ethan took out his phone and called his subordinate. "Has Chloe admitted her mistake?" "No, there's no sound from inside. Mr. Ethan, could something have happened?" "What could happen? Since she won't admit her mistake, let her stay there!" Hanging up, he returned to his cold demeanor. Lily looked smug beside him. Ethan, you'll never get my response. Because I'm already dead! I died three days ago. That "abandoned" cold storage unit turned on after they left. I was trapped inside, crying out to no avail. At first, there were voices outside. I banged on the door and begged, but got only indifference from the guards. "Mr. Ethan said you need to reflect in there, ma'am. Please don't make it difficult for us." "No! Please, the unit is on! Someone help!" But there was no sound outside anymore. They left. At first, I was calm, looking for a way out. But as the temperature dropped, I couldn't think. I ran in circles to generate heat. In the end, I couldn't run anymore. I felt frozen stiff. I curled up in a corner, hoping to get warm. This place was originally for seafood storage. After the goods were moved, only shelves remained. I piled the shelves in front of me, hoping to block the cold air. But it was useless. The moment I realized I was dying, my heart went cold bit by bit. When I saw my own corpse, I was shocked! The frozen me in the corner, eyes full of despair, door and walls covered in bloody fingernail marks. Just as I was about to go over, a force sucked me out, and I ended up beside Ethan. Hearing his words now, I found it ridiculous. Ethan, I reflected with my life. I hope I never have to see you in the next! I stood by, watching Ethan and Lily look into each other's eyes. Lily handed him her phone. "Ethan, I booked tickets for the art exhibition. Come with me tomorrow!" "Okay. It's late. Go rest." Lily took his hand. "I'm afraid of the dark. Stay with me." Ethan reluctantly agreed. I forgot, Lily lived in our house. After returning from abroad, the first thing she did was contact Ethan. Using the excuse of being unfamiliar with the place, she asked to move into our home. Ridiculous. She was local. Five years abroad and suddenly she's unfamiliar? When I objected, Ethan looked impatient: "Chloe, her parents aren't here. Do you know how dangerous it is for a girl to live alone?" I knew. Before marriage, I also lived alone in a rented apartment. Ethan said to me then: "Chloe, girls should respect themselves. I don't want to cohabit before marriage." Now thinking about it, he played the double standard game perfectly. Ethan accompanied Lily to the guest room. It was called a guest room, but it was right next to our master bedroom. I originally intended it for the nursery. But as soon as Lily arrived, she said the room had good lighting and she liked it, so Ethan gave it to her directly. 2 I watched coldly as Ethan walked her to the guest room. Lily was about to leave when a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. With a crack of thunder, she screamed and threw herself into Ethan's arms. Ethan stiffened, and Lily held onto him tightly: "Ethan, I'm so scared. Can you stay and keep me company?" Ethan's hand lingered on her back for a moment, then he patted her, "Okay." At that moment, I felt like a clown because I was also afraid of thunder. I remembered when I lived alone, a sudden heavy rain and thunderstorm came one night, and the power went out. I was so scared I almost cried. So I called him, wanting comfort. But what did Ethan say? "How old are you to still be afraid of thunder? Chloe, don't use this method to get my attention. You need to know that you are an adult and independent. Be good, okay?" He hung up the phone, and that night I tightly wrapped myself in the quilt, relying on the phone flashlight to get through. I couldn't fall asleep until dawn. Thinking back now, I was truly humble. Clearly, Ethan didn't care at all. There seemed to be a wall between him and me forever. I laughed bitterly. Although I was dead, I was still afraid of the thunder. I hugged my arms and shivered. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't go anywhere. I could only stay and watch Ethan comforting Lily in his arms. And she shrunk into Ethan's arms, her eyes sharp and proud. I sighed. Lily would always be the vermilion mole in Ethan's heart. What was I? I shook my head and looked outside. Even in death, I was still afraid of thunder. Fortunately, this moment didn't last too long. The thunder stopped after an hour, and Ethan left the guest room. Lily watched his back and smiled proudly, murmuring to herself: "Ethan. You will always be mine, no one can take you away!" I was a bit surprised to hear this. She still wanted Ethan even now. Then why did she leave back then? Ethan too. Since he couldn't forget her, why did he marry me? After returning, Ethan acted uncharacteristically. He looked at my photo on his phone and said in a deep voice: "Chloe, I hope you can learn a lesson. If you soften up and admit your mistake, I'll let you out!" Looking at Ethan's face, I just felt ridiculous. Soften up? Admit mistake! What did I do wrong? I didn't lock Lily in the office! But Ethan wouldn't listen to my explanation at all because Lily acted like a green tea bitch, saying she didn't blame me, so Ethan was certain I did it. He locked me in the abandoned cold storage unit, killed me, and now wants me to admit my mistake? Ridiculous. Ethan is also a smart person, being able to sit in the position of company president means he's not brainless, but when it comes to Lily, he becomes deaf and blind. The next morning, the guards of the cold storage unit felt something was wrong and reported tremblingly: "Mr. Ethan, should we let the madam out? There's no sound at all from inside, and a bowl of water can't last for five days!" Ethan hesitated for a moment, then said coldly: "Without food or drink, a bowl of water is fine for ten days. Since she's so stubborn, let's continue. I want to see how long she can hold on!" "But, but there's no sound at all from inside. We are worried, what if the madam..." "Don't worry, Chloe is just pretending!" 3 Ethan's sentence sealed my fate, so the guards didn't say anything more. At this time, Lily walked in and heard him say this, a smile appeared on her lips, "Ethan, forget it, it's been several days, I'm fine!" "No, she made you stay locked in the office for so long, she should be punished." Lily had a smile on her face, but said: "Ethan, isn't it too much? After all, she is your wife." "She treated me... it's also my fault, always troubling you, making her jealous. Just let her go!" Lily sounded nice, seemingly excusing me, but every sentence nailed me down. Ethan fell for it. "Lily, you are always soft-hearted. Fine, for your sake, I'll give her a chance!" Lily's face stiffened, not expecting Ethan to say this. "What's wrong?" Seeing her expression changed, Ethan asked: "What's wrong?" "Nothing, just thinking that I haven't seen her for days, better bring a doctor along!" Is Lily that kind? I doubted it. But she was right, bring a doctor to confirm my death. To save trouble later. Ethan, I looked forward to you finding out the truth, really wanted to see your expression when you know I'm dead. Ethan took a deep breath and held Lily's hand, "If only she had a fraction of your understanding." "Ethan, she is your wife after all." Ethan's eyes were complex, and I sneered. I never intended to fight Lily for anything. Wife? This title was ironic. Even without this so-called reflection, I planned to divorce him. I really had enough. It's just a pity about that little life. I involuntarily touched my lower abdomen, feeling pain in my heart. At this time, Ethan's face darkened, and his voice was unquestionable: "No need, you don't need to plead for her. Chloe is just putting on an act!" "Every time it's either this pain or that pain, or saying she didn't do it. I've seen through her!" "None of you are allowed to plead for her!" "Unless she apologizes, she is not allowed out!" Hearing this, Lily seemed relieved and stood aside without speaking, while I was a little stunned. Ethan, so this is what I am in your heart. A sting in my heart. Fortunately, I'm dead, I don't care anymore. Ethan finally remembered me and took people to the abandoned cold storage unit. When they got to the door, the guards were trembling, "Mr. Ethan." "Has Chloe softened up yet?" "Mr. Ethan, no. We asked through the door, no response from inside." "Madam, could something have happened?" "I'm worried..." Ethan snorted coldly: "What's there to worry about? Just playing tricks!" "Open the door! I want to hear this woman apologize personally!" Lily smirked, and the guard quickly went over. They were dumbfounded when they opened the door of the cold storage unit. Ethan's voice came from behind, "Let her come out!" "Mr., Mr. Ethan, the cold storage... the cold storage seems to have started!" Ethan walked over, "What started? You want to shirk responsibility, right!" At this time, he was standing at the door, and the cold air from inside continued to pour out, making people shudder! Ethan's face turned pale, "Chloe, don't think I'll forgive you just because you turned on the cold storage. Get out here!" Silence. Everyone around looked at each other. Ethan was furious. After hesitating for a long time, he said coldly: "Bring her out for me!" As soon as the voice fell, several people rushed in. When they saw the frozen corpse curled up behind the shelves, they were terrified! "Madam... Madam froze to death!" 4 Ethan flew into a rage, "Nonsense! How could she die!" He rushed in, and vaguely saw a person curled up behind rows of shelves. Ethan trembled. I followed him. Although I was prepared, seeing my own corpse still scared me. I opened my eyes and looked straight ahead, staring at him, my face covered with frost, and my ten fingers were full of dried blood. There were traces of my struggle everywhere on the ground and walls. The moment our eyes met, Ethan staggered twice and knelt down in front of me with a thud. He stretched out his hand trembling, wanting to touch but daring not. "No, this is not her, impossible!" "The cold storage unit was abandoned, how could she freeze stiff!" "Get the surveillance video for me, see what happened!" He turned his head and saw the bloody handprints on the wall, his lips quivered, he stood up and rushed to stroke the wall, then looked at me in the corner. Although my hands were frozen hard, they were still bloody, all ten fingers covered in blood. Ethan went mad, suddenly rushed forward and hugged me, "Chloe, you did it on purpose, didn't you? This is all fake, you are scaring me, aren't you? Get up, get up!" "I don't believe you just left like this, Chloe, hurry up, I don't blame you anymore, I won't punish you anymore, you don't need to reflect, quick! Get up!" "Speak to me!" He pulled and dragged me frantically, but my body was frozen stiff. Being pulled by him, I hit the ground with a thud! Ethan staggered twice and fell to the ground. Lily outside the door was so frightened that her face turned pale, then a trace of calm flashed in her eyes, "Ethan, she's dead, you need to restrain your grief." Ethan turned his head to look at her, and roared the next second: "She's not dead! How could she die, impossible!" The doctor he brought came forward directly, shook his head and said: "Mr. Ethan, there are no vital signs." At this time, the guard ran over in a hurry, "Mr. Ethan, the surveillance was destroyed, but our people have been guarding outside the gate!" Ethan was stunned. If so, it meant that when I went in that day, it was already a functioning cold storage unit! His eyes were about to burst as he looked around: "How did you guard it!" He took off his clothes and wrapped me up, hugging me and rushing out! "Chloe, I'll take you to the hospital, you won't die!" "If you can't be saved, I'll make all of you be buried with her!" Ethan went mad, stepped on the gas pedal and rushed out, heading straight for the hospital! I followed all the way, seeing him hysterical, couldn't help sighing. "Ethan, what are you pretending for now? When I begged you heartbrokenly to investigate the truth, you just didn't believe me and insisted on punishing me." "Now that I'm dead, what deep affection are you acting here? So boring!" A touch of mockery appeared on the corner of my mouth, watching Ethan holding me rushing into the hospital, the doctors were all shocked by him! "Hurry up and save her! Hurry up!" The doctor saw him holding the frozen me over, his pupils tightened instantly. After confirming that I had no vital signs, he shook his head: "Sorry, the patient has died." "Nonsense! She was obviously still breathing, why don't you save her!" "Why!" Ethan made a scene in the emergency room. Helpless, the hospital could only call the police. When the police arrived and saw me, they were also incredulous, because I was frozen to death alive. It's summer now!
