The day Pedro Palmer's mom was supposed to get my kidney, I ghosted. He waited outside the OR for ten hours. What did he get? A death notice. After that, he went full beast mode on his career. Five years later, his company blew up. Media darling. CEO. Power suit. And yeah, he was holding another girl's hand, all smiles for the cameras. "Do you have anything to say to Ruth Rackham? We heard she supported your early days," a reporter asked. Not even a pause. "Yeah. Thanks for vanishing. For letting my mom die with questions. For wrecking me. She taught me not to trust anyone." He stepped in closer, eyes cold. "This is what you wanted, Ruth? Too bad. Love's gone. And you? Not even worth my hate." That's when Nellie Lyon, the reporter, went pale. "Mr. Palmer... Ruth Rackham died five years ago. She was the test subject. She donated her body—before she passed..."

My Goodbye Drove Him Mad Chapter 8
Marriage had been Ruth's biggest dream.Now he finally said the words—but she didn't move.Something in Pedro shattered.His grief was bone-deep, eyes burning without tears. "This is on me. I never should've doubted you. Get up and scream at me, Ruth!"Weren't you always so damn proud? Look at you now... lying here like some broken doll—don't you see how wrong this is?"Get up. Marry me tomorrow. Please—I'm begging you!"Wendy burst in, heels echoing.She froze.For a second, just a second, something like sympathy flickered in her eyes.She stepped closer, voice soft. "Pedro, don't do this... Ms. Rackham's gone. She can't hear you anymore. Please, don't tear yourself apart like this. It's painful to watch..."He slapped her hand away, eyes wild. "Don't touch me! We were just pretending—no reason to keep the act going. It's done. The contract's off. I'll wire the money. Just stay away."Wendy froze, tears pooling."Pedro, I—""Leave!" he shouted, crumbling beside Ruth. "Rut
My Goodbye Drove Him Mad Chapter 7
Three days out from the wedding, Pedro holed up in the villa.He pounded glass after glass of hard liquor.Didn't matter. The burn didn't hit like it used to.Nothing dulled the bitterness crawling under his skin.Drink gone, mind still razor-sharp. And Ruth's smile—still there, haunting him.He slammed the glass to the floor and jumped up, kicking at nothing."You're in on it too! All of you—part of Ruth's twisted game!"She mess with my liquor? It's worthless!"Ruth Rackham, I swear—I'll drag you to my mom's grave myself and make you beg!"His voice tore through the empty house.No one answered.After the outburst, Pedro laughed—sharp, hollow.Then the tears came.Three days ago, his assistant sent him news about Ruth.A signed body donation agreement.He hadn't even opened it. Refused to believe.But now, half-drunk and spiraling, he pulled out his phone.Line by line, he read it.Then—her signature.Snap.He hurled the phone, shattering it against the wall.Thr

After the press conference, Pedro dropped a string of cozy pics with Wendy on his socials.They were wrapped up in each other, spotlight glowing, fingers laced.Caption: [With you, the rest of my life is enough.]First time in five years he'd posted from his real account.Everyone thought he was head over heels, totally in love.But he knew the truth.He still only followed one account—Ruth's.This post wasn't for fans. It was bait.He figured she'd see it. Get jealous. Snap. Show up.And when she did? He'd tear down her whole act, live. Let the world watch her fall.Only then would his mom finally rest. Only then would his wrecked heart get its revenge.But days ticked by.Nothing.Every hour, he checked the visitor log.That one follower? Still a ghost.***As the wedding neared, the internet drowned in hype over the so-called event of the century.The dress arrived at the villa. Wendy couldn't stop trying on the jewelry, over and over.Pics leaked. Went viral.The

The video ended.Silence hit hard—dead quiet.Nellie shot Pedro a look, hoping maybe now, with everything out in the open, he'd finally let go. That kind of love wasn't meant to rot into hate.But Pedro just clenched the remote, knuckles white, veins popping.He stared at her frozen smile on screen.Memories crashed in, but he shoved them down.Then—out of nowhere—he laughed, eyes rimmed in red. "Seriously? You think I'm falling for this? Ruth, I told you—I'm never forgiving you."He chucked the remote and stormed out.Nellie jumped in front of him, voice sharp. "Mr. Palmer, it's real! Ruth—""Enough!" Pedro snapped, eyes blazing. "She's always been a pro at playing the victim. You think this little team-up's gonna make me crack? Keep dreaming."She killed my mom. I'm never forgiving her. Not unless she's dead."The crowd stirred—whispers rising like static, each one digging into him.Pedro scanned the room, icy and calm, lips twitching into a cruel smile."She wants the s

A week passed.Nellie walked in, guilt all over her face."Mrs. Palmer's funeral is over. Don't you... want to say goodbye?"I lay in the hospital bed, barely there. Shook my head."No point. I don't deserve it. Seeing me now... it'd only hurt her. Why did you save me? I should have died."Nellie pulled me into a hug, patting my back gently. "It's not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself. Let's get out of here for a bit. Anywhere you wanna go?"I stared out the window, eyes dull.An hour later, I was in a wheelchair, rolling through the garden below Pedro's old house."This used to be our spot," I said. "When we were kids. Every time we played hide-and-seek, I'd pick the bushes. He always found me but never said a word. He proposed to me right here, too."Nellie wrapped her arms around me from behind, camera angled at my face."Just try one more time—for him. Please."I looked back at her, voice soft."Then take a photo. I don't wanna forget this place."I insisted on
My Goodbye Drove Him Mad Chapter 3
Half a month later.The place was wrecked. I was curled up in the corner, hugging my knees, crying like I couldn't stop.Ten days. That's how long Pedro and I hadn't spoken.He found out about his mom.Nellie stepped in, awkwardly dodging piles of clutter, trying to find somewhere to stand.She hesitated. "You told him the truth, right? So why'd you break up?"I lifted my head. Eyes puffy, voice raw. "I was a match for his mom. Pedro wasn't. Just me. Tell me that's not the cruelest joke."I wiped my nose."He dropped to his knees at the hospital. Begged me to donate. Said once it was over, we'd finally get married."Nellie's eyes widened. "You said yes?"I forced a cracked smile, lips dry."I couldn't say no. He looked so desperate. But my body... I could only run. Like a coward. Am I useless?"Nellie set the camera down and pulled me into a hug."You tried. This isn't on you. Things'll get better, okay?"I've got a relative at the hospital. I'll ask him to look into dono
