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.
"Miss Anna? Can you hear me?"The middle-aged doctor leaned toward Anna, who had just opened her eyes. His worried gaze fixed on her pale face as she slowly sat up in bed."How are you feeling, Miss?"Anna stared dazedly at Dr. Edward standing beside her. Her vision was blurry, and severe dizziness overwhelmed her."I’m fine, just feeling a little dizzy," Anna said in a weak voice.Fighting the tremors in her legs, Anna forced herself to stand. She ignored the fact that her vision was starting to blur. Anna looked around the room, there were only the two of them here, while the man who had begged her last night to donate was nowhere to be seen.Maybe he was now holding Jessica, who was weak after her blood transfusion? Anna smiled bitterly at the thought.“Thank goodness. I was worried because you fainted during the donation process… The donation procedure is now complete, Miss. We’ve collected five hundred milliliters of blood for Miss Jessica. I’m truly impressed by your kindness t
The mark left by Adrian's slap felt hot, the heat spreading quickly to her chest. The love she had cherished for three years now left only hatred and deep disappointment."I hit you because you deserved it! This is punishment for your behavior, which has crossed the line!" Adrian snapped.Anna shook her head vigorously. "It's not like that, Adrian, you misunderstand—""Misunderstand? I saw you push Jessica myself! No matter how angry you are at your sister, you can't hurt her! Do you want to make her even more hurt?"Adrian moved closer to Anna, grabbing her chin."Know your place, Anna! If it weren't for Jessica forcing your parents to look for you, you'd still be stuck in that filthy orphanage!"The man's last sentence made Anna's heart sink. So her parents had brought her home for Jessica's sake? Why did everyone choose Jessica and treat her like an animal?Anna's eyes flashed sharply at Adrian. "Adrian, I never hit or pushed her! I swear on our baby—""Please don't fight!"Jessica
The incident that befell her kept Anna from sleeping soundly that night. Every time she closed her eyes, the image of her husband kissing Jessica passionately continued to haunt her.When morning came and she woke up, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart that Adrian would be beside her bed and show her a little concern.But the man had not returned since last night."Miss Anna? Are you alone? Where is your husband?" a young nurse asked as she placed porridge on the nightstand.Anna looked up, her gaze briefly falling on the name pinned to the nurse's uniform, Lily."My husband will be here soon, he's on his way." She lied as she clutched her blanket.Anna sighed inwardly, certain that her husband was currently embracing Jessica in bed."Given your condition, you are prone to stress. When your husband arrives, ask him to take you for a walk outside the room; it will aid your recovery. You really need encouragement right now."Anna responded to Lily's words with a bitter smile. The p
"Adrian, stop, the nurse will see us," Jessica said in a spoiled tone."I don't care." Adrian said dismissively, then kissed Jessica's forehead again. "I love you so much I can't stop. Do you know how scared I was of losing you just now?"Jessica's face clouded over, her hand pushing Adrian's chest. "But... you belong to Anna now. You're her husband."Adrian laughed cynically. "Honey, I've told you many times, haven't I? I only love you. All this time, Anna has just been a tool I used to keep you healthy. She loves me so much and obeys my every word like a fool," continued Adrian, kissing Jessica's face again.A piercing tightness gripped Anna's chest as tears flowed so profusely they blurred her vision."They're right, I am stupid," she muttered. All this time, she had loved Adrian so much that she obeyed his every command. Even when he asked her to donate blood three times a week for Jessica, she agreed as long as Adrian was happy."Honey, what if you fall in love with Anna for re
