LOGIN“Xa—Xavier… should we really do this? I don’t think I’m ready.” Anna’s breath caught in her throat as Xavier pinned her beneath him and stripped her of her clothes until she was left completely naked. Xavier gave a faint smirk, his dark gaze sweeping over Anna’s body with intense desire. “You were the one who offered this deal, Anna. You agreed to carry my child… if I destroyed your husband.” For three years, Anna had been married to the man she loved, until she discovered a painful truth—her husband had married her only to turn her into an organ bank for another woman. To get revenge, Anna made a deal with her husband’s sworn enemy—Xavier, the heir to the city’s most feared mafia. But the man demanded a far higher price. He wanted a child… from her womb.
View MoreAn overwhelming joy struck Anna's heart, and she almost screamed in the bathroom when the pregnancy test in her hand showed two lines.
"I-I'm pregnant," Anna muttered blankly, tears falling without her realizing it.
She clutched the pregnancy test tightly. "Adrian, we're going to have a baby..." Anna smiled through her tears.
After three years of marriage to Adrian Vanderbilt, she had been diagnosed as infertile. Despite undergoing therapy and treatment many times, she only got the same results. She rushed back to bed, grabbed her phone that was lying there, her heart pounding, impatient to tell her husband. Anna was sure her husband would cry with happiness because he had long wanted a baby.
Before she pressed the call button, a loud knock on her bedroom door made her rush to the door.
"Anna, open the door quickly!"
Anna recognized the harsh voice that had always insulted and scolded her for years, Mariana, her biological mother who treated her like a stranger after she was picked up from the orphanage.
Anna had been switched with Jessica at birth, years ago. Jessica was raised by Mariana and considered her biological daughter, while Anna was treated like a stranger when she returned to her family.
When the door opened, Anna saw her mother standing there with swollen eyes and a pale face.
"Come with me to the hospital now! Jessica is critical. She needs your kidney today."
Anna was silent for a moment. "What? But last week you said Jessica had found a donor from abroad. Wasn't Jessica already scheduled with that person?"
Mariana's face wrinkled. "The donor canceled the contract a few hours ago. Now Jessica is dying. The doctor said she won't survive if she doesn't have surgery within a few hours."
"I'm sorry, Mom," Anna said weakly.
For years, she had willingly donated her blood repeatedly to support Jessica's life, who suffered from End-Stage Renal Failure accompanied by Severe Anemia.
If she were healthy now, she would gladly give her kidney to Jessica as long as her mother was happy and acknowledged her.
But now there was a new life she wanted to protect. "My current condition doesn't allow it—"
"What do you mean, impossible?" Mariana snapped. "Jessica is your only sister! How can you bear to see her die because you put yourself first when she's in critical condition?!"
Anna shook her head. "It's not like that, Mom. Actually, I was going to—"
"Enough, Anna! We don't have time! Whatever your condition is right now, it's nothing compared to Jessica's life. How can you still be thinking about yourself? Don't be a disobedient child! Hurry up!"
Mariana pulled Anna's hand roughly, and every time Anna opened her mouth, her mother would silence her.
When they arrived at the hospital, Anna was immediately given tests, but strangely, her mother forbade her from seeing the results.
As the doctor pushed her toward the operating room, Anna tried with all her might to tell them she was pregnant. But no one listened to her. No one cared.
The doctors seemed to turn a deaf ear and followed her mother's orders to operate on her immediately.
A few hours later, Anna woke up in a room. Although weak, Anna immediately got up and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. The first thing she thought of was Adrian. She hadn't had a chance to tell him yet, and she was afraid her husband would worry after finding her missing from home.
However, he didn't answer her call. Anna decided to check her husband's location and was surprised to find that Adrian's coordinates were at this hospital. She could only think of one thing, her mother must have told Adrian about the kidney donation.
She was so impatient to tell Adrian about her baby that she hurriedly got out of bed.
She walked towards Adrian's coordinates while dragging the IV pole with faltering steps, her destination being the Primrose VVIP Suite. Anna herself didn't know why her husband was in that room instead of going to his own room.
Anna slowly pushed the door open, and when a small gap appeared, before the door opened wider, Anna's hand suddenly froze.
Through the gap, Anna witnessed a scene that took her breath away.
On the bed, her husband was lying next to Jessica. The man was hugging Jessica's pale body after her kidney surgery.
Adrian gave Jessica a soft kiss on the forehead, then their lips met in a passionate kiss.
"Honey... how are you? Do you feel better after having Anna's kidney?" Adrian asked after the kiss ended, his hand stroking Jessica's hair.
"I'm very happy. Anna is my world, because I love her so much, so I only wanted her kidney to be transplanted to me. Adrian, how did you convince my previous donor to cancel the contract?"
Adrian chuckled.
"I gave them some money, then your mother panicked when she found out the contract was canceled. When I offered Anna's kidney to your mother, she rushed to bring Anna here... your wish to have Anna's kidney came true, dear."
Anna's tears flowed unconsciously. She hoped it was just an illusion caused by the anesthesia, but after she slapped her own face and felt the pain, she realized that this was all real.
"This isn't a dream," Anna muttered, staring blankly at Jessica and Adrian.
Anna's entire body trembled as she clung tightly to the IV pole, struggling to keep herself from collapsing. A sob escaped her lips as she watched Adrian kiss Jessica's face again, and then the kiss moved down to Jessica's lips.
A wave of weakness washed over Anna’s knees, but she managed to stay upright.Her heart was pounding harder and harder, as if it were about to burst from her chest. The man she had feared most for the past two decades was now standing right in front of her! If she made even the slightest misstep, she might never see tomorrow’s sunrise.“Why did you want to meet me?” Anna’s voice faltered."I need to confirm something. I'm curious just how interested my granddaughter is in you." His sneer deepened. "Turns out you're no different from her other female slaves."Aloist roughly released Anna’s chin, then flicked his fingers slowly. His gaze swept down over Anna with a condescending glare.“I almost misunderstood.”Every cruel sentence Aloist spoke made Anna shiver, especially the mention of Xavier’s former sex slaves.For anything in the world, she refused to become like them! Just imagining it made her sick, but what could she do? She had no choice but to stay by Xavier’s side for now.“M
After the waiter left, Anna could only stand frozen in the doorway. The message he had just left had somehow managed to leave her emotions completely shattered.“Aloist,” she murmured. The name Aloist swirled in her mind, it sounded familiar, until a moment later, her heart began to race and her pupils dilated as a memory of a major event from the past flooded her mind.She recalled the tragedy from ten years ago, when one night turned into a massacre as Aloist slaughtered every government official who dared interfere with him.The city had once been paralyzed by his terror, a massacre that brought the law to its knees leaving not a single official daring to touch him. Aloist Vanderbilt was a true demon. And what shocked her even more, What nearly made him fall to the floor was the fact that he was Xavier’s grandfather.At first, Anna had thought Xavier was just an ordinary mobster. Who would have guessed he was the sole heir to the Vanderbilt dynasty! If Xavier inherited all of his
[Xavier’s POV]A stifled groan escaped Xavier's lips as he regained consciousness. For a moment, his eyes remained closed, feeling the burning sensation ravaging his abdomen. The nerves throughout his body felt paralyzed, even his legs were numb. "That bastard gave me VX nerve agent. Because of this, I’ll be lying here paralyzed for eight hours, I’m going to kill him the moment I can move again!" He seethed inwardly, his eyes wide with a flash of anger.However, a moment later, that rage froze as his gaze fell upon the woman sleeping beside him. Anna appeared to be fast asleep in a seated position on the floor, her head resting on Xavier’s still-numb arm.Xavier studied Anna's sleeping face, his expression hardening. "Pathetic," he whispered, watching her vulnerable form.Recalling Anna’s worried expression for him last night, Xavier felt hatred swirling in his mind.That woman’s worry, fear, and tears deeply agitated him. He loathed such fragility. And this morning, Anna’s presence
Time and again, Anna tried to convince herself that Xavier had asked her to come to his room tonight simply to discuss the details of their agreement from that morning. But the more she speculated, the more her thoughts began to haunt her.Why had Xavier asked her to meet him in the middle of the night? Did he have other intentions? What if the man threatened her again with the barrel of a gun?Anna was consumed by anxiety as her feet carried her down the corridor, until her steps halted in front of Xavier’s door. She swallowed all her doubts as her hand pushed the door open and she stepped into the dimly lit room.Anna intended to wrap up her conversation with Xavier quickly that night, but she found no sign of him in his room. She sighed softly when she saw the clock on the wall showing 10:45 PM.A cynical snort escaped her lips. He’d threatened her if she was late, yet now he was nowhere to be found in his room. How could he be so inconsiderate?A frown of irritation crossed Anna’
