He Took My Heart for His First Love, Then Lost His Mind Over Me

Edwinwatched me in panic. He seemed to be lost in his words. This was not what he was prepared for.

He must have thought of plenty of ways of negotiation. He must have come prepared to make me finally give in to his demand and give my consent to the heart transplant.

But my submission to his demand shocked him. He grabbed my shoulder and pulled me closer, making me look up into his eyes, “Do you understand what I’m asking for? After you donate your heart to Rose, you would be a living dead, Victoria.”

“Do you actually understand what that means?” He raised his eyebrows, trying to see through my eyes.

How could I not?

Even if I were not from this world, ever since I arrived, I have made every single attempt to make him happy. There was a brief moment when I actually thought of continuing to live in this world with him.

But, after his true love arrived, he didn't consider my feelings at all, and now he was asking me to give my heart to his old lover.

How could it not hurt?

But I remained calm. I simply said, “This is what you want me to do for you, don't you?”

A flicker of something like guilt passed through his eyes, and he immediately let go of me, asking coldly, “Are you that desperate to marry me?”

I said nothing.

He thought I was doing this because he offered a wedding in return. But, he didn't know I wasn't that desperate to marry him. Not anymore. I was desperate to leave him and his world.

I remembered the day Rose came back. He was taking me out to dinner that night.

“Edwin, Rose is back. She is at the airport.” His friend informed him on the phone.

The car came to an abrupt halt. He turned to look at me. His eyes showed no guilt as he clicked open the car’s door and "gestured me out.

“Get a cab and go back home,” he commanded, “Don't wait for me. I’m busy tonight.”

And just like that, he took the U-turn and left without a word of apology or an explanation. He didn't consider it important to tell me why he was leaving me in the middle of the night, alone.

He didn't even think about what I was going to eat at home since I didn't prepare anything because he promised to take me out.

The next day, he asked me to help Rose renovate her house, since it was my hobby, but ended up making me her personal maid. From cooking to cleaning her house, it became my duty. They would often take snacks, sit on the couch, and ask me to clean up the mess like I was a maid.

But I never complained. I silently obeyed all his commands. It was because only by obeying him a hundred times could I finally leave and… meet my brother.

Before I was transported to this world, I came to know about my long-lost brother, Mark. But the day we finally decided to meet each other, something happened.

I fell asleep while my laptop was on, and the next morning, I woke up as Edwin’s girlfriend in some other world.

I could not meet my brother, my only remaining family in the whole world!

However, Edwin’s love gradually helped me overcome the sense of loss, and I developed genuine feelings for him.

But the day I decided to give up on my old world and accept Edwin's, just to be with him forever, Rosaline arrived, and I became the discarded object in his life.

I simply endured Edwin’s insults and wishful demands for Rose, patiently waiting for the day when I could finally go back to meet my brother.

“The surgery is scheduled for Friday,” Edwin finally managed to speak, his voice raspy, devoid of its usual sharp edge. “The doctors... they’ll contact you.”

He turned and practically fled, his heavy footsteps

echoing down the hallway like a heartbeat, he was so eager to steal from me.
