I froze, my heart pounding in my chest as I strained to hear more of their conversation. What did he mean by \u201cI don\u2019t think I can do it\u201d? And why was his mother so insistent?<\/p>\n
I quietly moved closer, hiding in the shadows to avoid being seen. His voice trembled as he replied, \u201cIt\u2019s just\u2026 it doesn\u2019t feel right. She\u2019s my wife now. I can\u2019t just pretend\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPretend?\u201d I whispered to myself. My confusion deepened, and fear gripped me.<\/p>\n
His mother\u2019s voice grew harsher. \u201cYour sister\u2019s dying wish was for you to do this. You owe it to her memory! Don\u2019t you dare let her down.\u201d<\/p>\n
At that moment, a sharp pain sliced through me. What could they possibly be talking about that involved me\u2014and his sister?<\/p>\n
Unable to hold back anymore, I stepped into the dimly lit living room. Both of them turned toward me, their faces pale as if they had been caught in some unspoken betrayal.<\/p>\n

My world shattered as he explained. His sister had always been obsessed with him marrying someone who fit her ideal image\u2014a perfect wife to honor her memory. It turned out his family had been pressuring him to choose someone who would live up to those impossible expectations. And somehow, I was caught in the middle of their twisted attempt to fulfill her dying wish.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know what hurt more: the betrayal of their secrecy or the realization that my marriage wasn\u2019t built on love but on a ghost\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n
I froze, my heart pounding in my chest as I strained to hear more of their conversation. What did he mean by \u201cI don\u2019t think I can do it\u201d? And why was his mother so insistent?
