My roommate loves to steal my things. Whether it's my shower gel or the takeout I ordered. She even finished off a new bottle of skincare products her boyfriend used in just three days. I couldn't take it anymore and confronted her. But she became furious and, along with her boyfriend, stabbed me to death. Even after I died, when the landlord secretly recorded and released the video of them having a wild time in our rental, they claimed I seduced her boyfriend and then disappeared without a trace. I was scorned by everyone, deemed deserving of my death. But then I opened my eyes again and found myself back on the first day she stole my takeout.

Chapter 1

My roommate who shared the rental with me had a habit of stealing my stuff. Either it was my body wash or the takeout I ordered.

Even a new bottle of skincare product was used up by her and her boyfriend within three days.

I couldn't hold back and confronted her.

However, she became furious and, together with her boyfriend, stabbed me to death with a knife.

Even after I died, when the landlord secretly filmed and released a video of them having an intense argument in the rental house, she even claimed that I had lured her boyfriend, and then she managed to stay out of the spotlight.

I was despised by everyone, who said that I deserved what had happened to me.

But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the very first day when she stole my takeout.

"What are you ordering? I think the newly opened bagel shop is good. You can give it a try."

The pain of being stabbed still lingered on my body.

I opened my eyes in horror and found that Anna Black was staring fixedly at my phone.

He swallowed excitedly when he saw the bagel on my phone screen.

In my previous life, I rented an apartment with Anna.

At her suggestion, I gritted my teeth and ordered some seafood takeout, but it disappeared as soon as it was delivered.

When I contacted the delivery man and the restaurant, both of them told me that the takeout had already been delivered.

They even sent me a photo showing that it was placed at my door.

Since the amount of the takeout wasn't enough to justify reporting it to the police, I also thought it was just a coincidence at first, but it turned out that it was just the beginning.

After that, one out of every three takeout orders I placed would go missing.

New toiletries would run out within less than two weeks.

With only the two of us in the rental house, I tactfully asked Anna about it, but she flew into a rage instantly.

"What do you mean? My boyfriend is a rich man. He gives me so much money that I can't even spend it all. Why would I bother using your stuff? Besides, what's so special about your skincare products? The bottle of perfume my boyfriend gave me is worth more than your entire set of skincare products."

I had met her boyfriend, Joe Smith, before. He looked quite presentable.

In the end, I had no alternative but to keep my skincare products in my room.

But even more ridiculously, they were used up after just three days!

I couldn't bear it any longer and set up an old mobile phone as a surveillance device, finally capturing Anna and Joe not only using my things but also fooling around on my bed!

When I confronted them with the video, they became so furious that they rushed to the kitchen and hacked me to death with a knife!

Even after my death, when the unscrupulous landlord accidentally released the video of their sex, she even claimed that I had lured her boyfriend, and then she disappeared without a trace.

Even when I died, I was cursed as getting what I deserved!

"Order by yourself if you want to eat. I'm going out to have a meal." I turned off my phone, got up to change my shoes, and was about to go out.

Unexpectedly, Anna, unwilling to give up, blocked my way. "Come on, it's so hot outside. Wouldn't it be nice to order takeout and eat at home?"

Her words were truly laughable.

If I didn't go out to eat, was I supposed to wait for her to steal my takeout again?

I pushed her hand away and walked straight out.

Wanted my take out?No way!

I called some friends and happily feasted on bagels. Then I posted a satisfied message on social media. "Who else can relate? Bagel is the best thing in the world!"

As soon as I posted it, Kevin liked it and commented right away. "You sneaky thing, eating by yourself? You owe me a bagel!"

I pretended not to see her comment and replied to our mutual friend instead.

When I returned to the rental apartment that evening, Anna, who was squatting in the hallway, gave me a start.

"Why are you back so late? It's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night. Good thing I was waiting for you here..."

But when she saw that my hands were empty, her expression changed in an instant.

"Where's my bagel?"

I snorted coldly. What did she mean by saying it was "her" bagel?

"If you want to eat, buy it yourself. What's it got to do with me?" After saying that, I took out my keys and opened the door.

But she still wouldn't give up. "You really didn't buy any for me? Are you sure you didn't just order takeout for me instead? Don't worry, I'll eat it in the hallway so that the smell won't bother you in the room."

I couldn't help laughing at how absurd it was.

No wonder every time I ordered takeout, she wasn't around but could grab it so quickly.

She had been waiting for me there all the time.

"I didn't order any. If you want to eat, I'll have some after I go to the toilet while it's still hot."

"You..."

She was so furious that she was left speechless. She stormed back to her room, took out her phone and ran back to complain to her boyfriend.

And I was glad to have some peace and quiet. I went back to my room, turned off all the lights, and began to check for hidden cameras in the room.

Sure enough, I found a camera with a red light flashing hidden in the socket.

This time, let's see how she could still manage to frame the person in the video as me.

Anna, not getting what she wanted, was naturally discontented.

After complaining to her boyfriend, she wheedled and pestered him until he ordered her some takeout.

"Look, my boyfriend ordered takeout for me for free. Do you want some? Too bad, you can't have any!"

She strutted around in front of me with the takeout before opening it.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
