When my fiancé, Robert, passed away suddenly, my entire world collapsed. I felt lost, drowning in grief, unsure how to go on. But then something happened that I could never have imagined. I heard his voice. It called to me from beyond the grave. What started as a flicker of hope quickly turned into a nightmare that revealed a shocking truth I never saw coming.
I grew up in foster care, and I often dreamed about having a family of my own one day. I longed for the warmth, love, and connection that I saw in other people’s lives. That’s why, when I met Robert, it felt like everything I ever wished for was coming true. He was kind, funny, and loving. His family welcomed me with open arms from the very start, and I finally felt like I belonged somewhere.
Robert’s family was incredible. Sunday dinners at his parents’ house felt like scenes from a movie. We’d gather around the table, laughing, sharing stories, and creating memories. It was the kind of family I had always longed for. Robert’s mom treated me like I was her own daughter.
She always made sure I was included in their family traditions. His dad, a gentle giant with a booming laugh, would sneak me extra slices of pie at dinner and give me a wink, making me feel like I was already part of the family.
One perfect evening, Robert took me to the park, and he proposed to me under the golden sunset. His eyes sparkled with joy as he asked, “Will you marry me?” I was crying happy tears when I said yes. It was the happiest moment of my life.
Our future seemed full of endless possibilities, especially when we found out that we were expecting twins. We spent hours talking about the kind of parents we wanted to be and imagining the wonderful family we were about to create together.
But all of that came crashing down in an instant. It was a Thursday when I got the call that changed my life forever. Robert had been in a terrible accident. I rushed to the hospital, my heart racing with fear. When I got there, the look on the doctor’s face told me everything. Robert was gone. There was nothing they could do.
The days after his death felt like a fog. Everything moved too fast. His family made all the arrangements for the funeral, and before I knew it, I was standing at the back of the service, watching in silence as they lowered his casket into the ground. I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
After that, I found myself visiting Robert’s grave often. It felt like the only way I could still be close to him. One afternoon, while I was sitting by his headstone, I heard something that made my heart stop—a phone ringing. The sound was coming from the grass beside his grave. I reached down, picked it up, and my blood ran cold when I saw the caller ID: “Robert.”
My heart pounded as I stared at the screen. It couldn’t be real. It was impossible. Then, I heard his voice on the other end of the line. “Hey, baby,” he said, like nothing had ever happened. I gasped, dropping the phone in shock, and everything went black as I fainted.
When I woke up in the hospital, Robert’s mother was sitting beside me. Her face was pale, her eyes filled with fear and confusion. She leaned in close and whispered, “Did you hear him too?”
Her words sent a chill through my body. This wasn’t over. Something was terribly wrong. We both went to the police, desperate for answers. I handed over the phone, and the officers assured us they would investigate.
Days turned into weeks, and I lived in constant dread, waiting for something—anything—that could explain what was happening. Then, one evening, Robert’s mother called me. Her voice was trembling as she said, “The police found something.”
We rushed to the station, our hearts pounding. The detective told us the shocking truth. The calls were coming from Robert’s ex-girlfriend, Ursula.
It turned out that Ursula had never gotten over Robert after their breakup. She had become obsessed with him and used advanced voice-altering software to manipulate us. She made it sound like Robert was still alive. She had been watching us, listening to our pain, and cruelly making things worse with every call. It was all part of her sick game.
The police arrested Ursula, and the nightmare finally ended. I was heartbroken all over again, but at least now I knew the truth. Robert was gone, and nothing could change that. But I wasn’t alone. His family stood by me, and I still had our twins to look forward to. They would carry Robert’s legacy into the future, and together, we would find a way to heal.
In the months that followed, I often thought about Robert and the life we had dreamed of building together. The pain of losing him never fully went away, but the love and support of his family gave me the strength to keep going. One evening, as I sat in his mother’s kitchen with my hand on my growing belly, I felt the babies kick. In that moment, I knew Robert’s memory would live on through them.
Life wasn’t going to be easy, but we would endure. The love Robert and I shared, the family we had built—it would carry us through, even in the darkest of times. And for the first time since Robert’s death, I felt a glimmer of hope. We would be okay.
