Dead Serious: The Contract Said "Until Death", But Not What Came After.
Derrick Lawley was the kind of estate lawyer who could make a contract dance-twist the truth into elegant legalese and bury nightmares beneath fine print. But when a mysterious client offers him the deal of a lifetime-draft a last will with unsettling conditions-Derrick's ironclad logic leads him straight into the grave.
Now dead, Derrick awakens bound to a clause he wrote himself-one that refuses to expire. Tasked with haunting the named heir until the contract is fulfilled, he believes it's just one more job to finish, one more signature to claim. But the heir doesn't act like any target he's ever known. He isn't afraid. He's waiting.
As Derrick's attempts to enforce the clause grow increasingly desperate, eerie contradictions surface. Why does the heir already know Derrick's name? Why do familiar words feel foreign in his own handwriting? And why does it seem like this haunting was never about the heir at all?
Caught in a legal hell of his own making, Derrick must navigate a surreal world where contracts don't just bind-they trap. As the lines between duty and damnation blur, he's forced to confront the one clause he never accounted for: What if the executor was never in control?
Who is really enforcing the clause... and who is being judged?
