Chapter 4 - Emily Sits Up and Shocks the Entire Church
Chaos erupted inside the sanctuary as half the congregation leaped to their feet in sheer terror and disbelief.
Several elderly church members gasped, clutching their chests while staring at the woman they thought was buried beneath the soil.
Grant stepped backward, stumbling against the edge of the altar railing as if he were looking face-to-face with a ghost.

“Surprised to see me, darling?” Emily asked calmly, swinging her legs over the side of the mahogany casket.
She stepped gracefully onto the carpeted platform, wearing a sharp white power suit instead of burial garments.
Sloane let out a piercing shriek, covering her mouth with her diamond-encrusted hands as reality crashed down upon her.
“This is impossible! The police report said the car plunged into the ravine!” Grant screamed, losing all his composure.
“The car plunged into a ravine, yes,” Emily replied smoothly, walking down the altar steps with absolute poise.
