Echoes of the Dead: His Deadly Regret

My husband, Sean Sterling, pressed his face gently against Jessica Vance's belly.

She was wearing my maternity dress, sitting on the sofa I bought with my own money, living in the home that used to be mine.

I floated right above the crystal chandelier, watching them, completely bored.

Three years ago, I was pregnant with his child too.

Seven months along. The baby had just started kicking me.

But then, a thin steel wire was choked into my throat, and my baby bled out into nothingness before I even drew my last breath.

It was Jessica---his current, precious wife---who did it.
