She Died With My Name on Her Lips novel Chapter 11

Louise couldn’t stand it any longer. She slipped into a pink dress—Louisa’s favorite shade. Her hair, her makeup, every detail mirrored how Louisa used to look. For a moment, staring at herself in the mirror, Louise almost believed she’d turned into Louisa.

She gave herself a small, satisfied smile before heading out to find Stephen.

“Stephen, you must be hungry, right? My stomach’s been growling for ages. Let’s go get something to eat, okay? Come with me?” Louise pouted, linking her arms with his and looking up at him with that sweet, playful charm.

Stephen turned. For a second, it was like Louisa was standing right in front of him.

She’s alive?

But the illusion vanished as quickly as it came. It was Louise. Not Louisa.

His face darkened, and his voice was colder than she’d ever heard. He pulled his arm away.

“Get out. Who said you could come in here? This isn’t your place.”

“Louise, the contract is over. I don’t need you to pretend to be Louisa anymore. It’s time for you to go.”

His words hit her like a slap, sharp and merciless.

“Stephen, don’t do this… You’re joking, right?” Louise tried to smile, but her lips trembled. Panic was starting to claw at her chest.

“This isn’t what we agreed on. Louisa’s gone now, and I look so much like her. There’s no bad blood between us. Why can’t you just see me as her? We could be happy together, couldn’t we?”

“I’m pregnant with your child, Stephen! In a few months, our baby will be here. How can you be this cruel to me?”

Tears spilled down Louise’s cheeks as she grabbed his hand, pressing it to her stomach, begging him to feel the life growing inside her.

Stephen’s eyes grew even colder as his fingers brushed her belly.

“Thanks for reminding me. This child should never have existed.”

He gripped her wrist hard, his whole body radiating an icy resolve.
