She Got Crown, I Got Cremated novel Chapter 1

Frank Nixon scoffed, snapping his phone shut. He glanced at Jeff Blenman, who was busy weaving a flower crown.

"You get the call? Sienna's dead."

Jeff didn't even flinch. Still threading flowers. "Dead's dead. If you're free, go grab the body."

Frank's smile cut sharp. "You're her fiancé. Won't even deal with her body, but you want me to?"

Jeff held up the crown, like he'd just won something. "Wanna trade? You can take the title—and the wedding. Sound good?"

I just stared at him, stunned.

I didn't know why, but even dead, I was still stuck here.

Jeff's eyes smiled, but his face didn't.

That's when it hit me—he wasn't faking it. He really didn't want to marry me. He'd been dying to be free.

That's how deep his hate ran.

Frank stared at him, then let out a cold laugh. "What, you think I'm a trash can? Supposed to take whatever junk you toss? Tomorrow's Lulu's birthday. I've got better things to do than deal with dead weight."

Right then, his phone buzzed.

The ringtone stood out. His whole vibe shifted. Even Jeff looked up, watching him answer.

A sugary voice floated out.

"Frank, are you with Jeff? He's not picking up."

I knew that voice—Lulu Keller. Their forever crush.
