Chapter: Chapter five
No! Jeff gasped as he stormed into the theater but stopped short at the sight before him.He felt a rush in his ears and his heart squeezed in pain.Claire's skin had lost all its color and those blue eyes that used to stare at him like a lost puppy were closed now, the lashes dark against her pale cheeks.He wanted to howl in agony as the air in his lungs suddenly felt constricted.Guilty gnawed at him, "She can't die". He whispered."Mr. Anderson." The surgeon's voice cut through the fog. "I'm truly sorry for your loss. We did everything we could."He felt a rush of anger at his words and in swift move, he grabbed the surgeon by the collar.“How could you? You killed her”. He clenched out.“No Sir, I didn't. You consented to giving out her heart remember?” the doctor replied calmly while trying to ply off his hands from his collar.His words felt like a sucker punch and all the strength suddenly drained away from him, the doctor was not wrong, he had forced Claire even when he hadn'

Chapter: Chapter Four
CLAIREI screamed until my lungs hurt, why won't the doctor listen to me?I struggled as I was placed on a slab in the theatre and my pleas fell on deaf ears. Jeff owns this hospital, it was owned by his mother and he had inherited it from her. In the five years of our marriage, I had only step here when he needed me to act as his wife for the camera or when his grandfather was in the country. Otherwise, I was almost not even known by the workers so my word holds no value.The only person who could stop them was out of the country and that person was grandpa Howard.The lights of the theatre came on and I could feel the needle injected in me.I thought about the baby in my womb, “I'm sorry baby, I am such a useless mother, I couldn't even protect you”. If there is anything like a second chance, I promise myself never to fall in love so easily because right now, all I could feel was regret at loving the wrong man.I could see Jeff standing by the door watching each process, his cold g

Chapter: Chapter three
CLAIREI was passing through a door that was left slightly ajar when the sound of a soft laughter reached me and I stopped in my tracks.The voice sounded so much like Irene, I went closer and stared through the slightly opened door and my heart stopped.She was seated on the bed with Jeff by her side, her feet were placed on him and he was massaging them gently.She said something and he smiled while staring at her with so much tenderness in his gaze that it brought tears from my eyes.The face that was always scowling, angry or looking irritated anytime he was with me is the face that was actually smiling at my step sister.I had always yawned for him to look at me with such tender expression but he didn't but now, see him staring at Irene like she hung the moon.I tried to swallow past the lump that had suddenly lodged in my throat.I realized a few things as I watched him. He is not that cold, he is only cold towards me and incapable of love, he is not capable of showing me love.

Chapter: Chapter Two
“What!” I stared incredulously at Jeff, did he realize what he was asking me to do? I had just entered the house after three days in the hospital and the first thing that he could say to me was this?“Irene has the same blood type as you, what's wrong with you donating to her?” He asked coldly and a sound of disbelief escaped my mouth.I couldn't believe he was asking this of me, I had stayed at the hospital for three days, praying that my baby does not miscarry and not once had he visited or asked about me and finally, I was discharged and the first thing my husband could say to me was to donate blood for his mistress?”Tears sprang to my eyes, he makes it so difficult for me to keep loving him yet I just couldn't let go.“I can't…” I whispered and he grabbed my arm.“Irene is pregnant and I will not risk her losing the baby, so yes Claire, you can and you will”. He gritted.What about me?I wanted to scream and I held his gaze.“Would you treat me the same way if I was pregnant?” I a
