My Husband's Ghost
Chapter 2 Isle of the Black Sea

Remote Island in the Black Sea

A small boat was seen floating above the black sea surface, Jia Li was sitting alone in a boat that was moving slowly towards the middle of the ocean.

Here after Jia Li finished celebrating her wedding she was sent to a remote island located in the invisible Black Sea.

Only certain people get permission from the Van Rogh Costel III family to come to a remote island in the black sea.

The reason the party of the Van Rogh Van Costel III noble family gave Jia Li a special drink was to make himself able to see the remote island that was in the middle of the black sea.

"Where am I going, and this boat is moving forward into the middle of the ocean!?" said Jia Li.

The boat that Jia Li was riding entered an area in the middle of the ocean and suddenly Jia Li saw an island in front of him.

"Island ? I didn't see this island then how did the island suddenly appear?", Jia Li said with terrified goosebumps.

But what power Jia Li because he was unable to do anything and he was alone on the small boat.

The small boat carrying Jia Li reached the edge of the remote, extremely gloomy island.

Jia Li then got off the boat and walked into the island according to the message of the Van Rogh Costel III family to go to a castle on the remote island.

The beautiful girl arrived at a magnificent castle in the island area then Jia Li entered the castle.

KRIEEET...

"Hallo ! There is someone inside?", Jia Li said as the castle door opened by itself.

There was neither a sahutan nor a person to be seen inside that magnificent castle.

A gripping aura enveloped the gloomy atmosphere of the majestic castle.

Jia Li slowly entered the spooky old castle room with dim lights while turning his head around the old castle room.

"Hallo.", call Jia Li again.

However, there was still no sound that answered his greeting. Jia Li felt his hair standing up and his body turn cold.

The gripping atmosphere as well as the bone-chilling cold air made Jia Li even more frightened while inside the magnificent old castle room.

Jia Li stepped back his feet in the middle of the room with a beautiful but dull expanse of colorful tapestries.

The dim little crystal lights decorated the entire corner of the old castle room.

"What castle is this?" Jia Li said with frightened eyes.

A circular staircase decorating the corner of the old castle room is magnificent and cold, the stairs made of gold look beautiful.

An old painting set in a fairly large castle is installed on the wall of the old castle room, the old castle, with a painting of a very handsome foreign-faced young man with his friendly smile imprinted inside the painting.

At the moment when Jia Li turned on the lights in the room, he saw a chest of black sea water floating about.

"What is it?" he said slowly.

Jia Li approached the chest from the black sea water, as he looked inside the chest, he saw the body of a man lying still with a deathly pale body there.

"AAAAAAKHHHH.!!!", cried Jia Li.

It was here that he learned that the man he married was a noble man named Van Costel IV who was dead and his body was buried in a chest made of black seawater.

"Who-who is that person?", asked Jia Li in fear.

Jia Li fell limply sitting on the floor of the old castle room with a deathly pale face and trembling.

Jia Li was stunned silently looking at the chest made of black sea water there was the body of a handsome young man wearing a full suit clothes lying stiff.

The beautiful girl in such a beautiful manner was only confused by herself in the old castle room, she was unable to cover up her fear when she saw that the person she was married to was a dead man.

Van Costel IV turned out to be the groom who had died and buried his body in black sea water in the form of a chest.

"My husband is a ghost" Jia Li said.

Jia Li widened his eyes while holding his face with both hands.

"Th-that couldn't have happened.., I couldn't have married a dead man" Jia Li said.

Jia Li raised his head and looked straight back at the coffin from the black sea and floated still before him.

"No ! It is impossible" Jia Li said, repeating his words.

He shook his head slowly with a stifled voice while looking back at the coffin.

Panic and anxiety were mixed together in Jia Li's heart when she realized what had really happened to her marriage.

Jia Li really did not think that his father would marry himself to a man who had died, he could not believe what he saw even he almost lost his mind when he saw the reality that was in front of his eyes.

"Oh..no.., I don't believe this.", said Jia Li.

Jia Li was angry but he was unable to vent the anger of his deepest heart.

He was silent and could only lament his bad fate, he resigned himself to not finding a way out of the problems he faced.

Jia Li felt trapped to go deeper into the abyss of suffering that he deeply did not believe had befallen him.

His father, his family, had pushed him into the incomparable valley of misery, and had to accept that fate with great force.

"Oh Lord!", said Jia Li with tears coming down her beautiful clear face.

Jia Li then bowed and wept bitterly, lamenting his terrible and painful fate that his father could have made himself a substitute bride with a dead man, only to replace Jingmi, her sister from another mother.

The fragrant and fragrant plum blossom scented girl sobbed in the old castle room which was very gloomy and creepy.

The spacious room and there was only silence there added to the increasingly frightening atmosphere with Jia Li sitting limply on the luxurious marble floor, single-handedly lamenting his unfortunate fate.

The sound of piano music broke the silence created in the gloomy old castle room.

Jia Li was stunned in shock when he heard the sound of music coming out of the piano faintly sounding that far away.

"Piano sounds ? Where did that sound come from when I didn't see a piano?", Jia Li asked and stood up.

Jia Li then rubbed his two cheeks that were wet with tears coming down. He looked so happy because he was crying.

Turning his head to look at the entire room of the old castle with a cautious heart, looking for the direction of the piano sound that suddenly appeared and sounded in the old castle room that was gloomy and creepy.

No one was seen in the old castle.

Jia Li who had been standing in confusion as well as fear tried to stay firm and vigilant, that he did just to take care of himself.

He took a few steps back as he twisted his body in panic and was full of uncertain uneasiness.

Along with the sound of music from the piano that was not clearly visible in the old castle room, Jia Li was startled by the sound of the clanging echo of the wall clock that sounded loud and blaring filled every corner in the entire room of the castle.

TENGS... TENGS... TENGS...

The clang of the wall clock echoed up to the ceiling of the creepy old castle room.

Feeling the gusts of wind hit the face of Jia Li who was beautiful and spread a distinctive fragrance from the body of Jia Li, namely the fragrance of plum flowers which is the main requirement to be a bride from the Van Costel IV, a handsome noble man who had died and his body was lying stiff inside a pei made of black sea water.
