LOGINI refused to donate one of my kidneys to my younger sister, Ella. As a result, my parents forced me to marry a wealthy man in Pinetown. People said Johnson kept his distance from everyone else. His first love had never truly left his heart. Everyone waited to watch my miserable ending. Unexpectedly, Johnson actually deeply doted on me. During the three years of our marriage, regardless of the place, he never seemed able to keep his hands off me. Even when I went to the washroom, he followed me and pressed me against the sink. We never took any contraceptive measures. Yet, I never got pregnant. One day, when I thought I was finally expecting, we went to the hospital for a checkup. There, I accidentally overheard his conversation with a doctor. “Johnson, three years ago, you asked me to secretly transplant Amber’s kidney to Ella. Today, you want me to lie to her that she’s naturally sterile. How could you be so cruel to a woman who loves you?” “There’s no other way. Ella’s health is weak. If she can’t bear a child, she’ll suffer in her husband’s family. Only Amber’s kidney is a match for her.” The voice I knew so well sounded so cold that it felt unfamiliar. The love and salvation I had basked in so comfortably turned out to be nothing but a lie. If that was the truth, all that was left for me to do was to leave him.

Whatever happens between you two, leave me out of it.”He gave me the peeled apple. “Are you afraid of me? Do you think I’m cruel? I just don’t want them to bother you again once I’m gone.”I had no intention of accepting his “kind” offer. “Thank you. But I don’t need you to go to extremes for me. I only want you to sign the divorce papers, then we can go our separate ways.”He sneered, then took a bite of the apple. His eyes flickered with emotions I could not read. His gaze was intense.He stared at me with his bloodshot eyes and asked, “If I accept the consequences, go to prison, and make things right, could we start over?”“No.”I looked at him calmly without a trace of hatred. I said flatly, “Sometimes, I reminisce about the time you had pretended to love me over the past three years. They gave me
Johnson lost his temper again. He forbade anyone from saying anything that even hinted at death.It was as though avoiding the word would somehow stop me from dying.Ella, on the other hand, looked delighted. “We’ll let her rest on the bed for a few more days. If her key indicators aren’t improving, she’ll only affect me. Johnson, don’t worry. I’ll come out of the surgery just fine.”The unethical doctor who had once operated on me glanced at her, then at me on the sickbed. He wanted to say something, but no words came out of his mouth.Perhaps he, too, pitied me that I was about to be taken piece by piece.After a week, they wheeled me into the operating theater. After the anesthesia went in, I lost consciousness.When I regained a faint trace of consciousness, my hand felt slightly numb. I thought I had already died on the operating table when they took my heart away from me. Why was my mind still aware?I slowly opened my eyes and saw the man who simply refused to leave me al
I somehow heard the faint crack of bones, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.Ella looked shocked. She cradled her chest as she put on a sorrowful expression. “Johnson, what’s wrong with you? She ruined our reputation, aren’t you aware of that? Moreover, I’ve lost my baby because of her. My chest still hurts badly!”A deep chill gathered in Johnson’s gaze as he said flatly, “That kidney and lung were hers to begin with. As for the miscarriage, you brought it on yourself.”Ella seemed completely shaken. She collapsed onto a nearby chair. She grabbed Johnson’s hand and demanded an explanation through tears.“Johnson, did you call me here just to show off how deeply connected the two of you are? Do you have to hurt me like this just because you feel guilty toward her?” While saying this, Ella glared at me as if I were a scheming woman who had stolen her man.The audacity was almost laughable.Johnson’s expression turned cold as he shook off her hand. He studied her for a moment
Someone in the crowd threw a half-finished drink at Ella. The bottle hit her face and splashed her with an unknown yellow liquid.“This is disgusting! I can’t bear to listen to you anymore!”“Did Amber’s life not matter?”More and more bottles and cans came flying in.The reporters scattered and left the scene. Ella and Mary huddled together in a panic. They dodged the rain of objects and scrambled around in a sorry state, like rats fleeing across a street. I was quietly entertained as I watched the whole chaotic scene unfold from the other side of the screen. Ferguson called me. His voice sounded oddly weak. “Is there anything else you want me to do? It’s inclusive in the legal fees. I won’t charge extra.”I thought carefully about what was still unfinished. “Well, after I die, please scatter my ashes in the ocean. Don’t let Johnson keep me tied down. I don’t want to be buried in his family’s cemetery.”There was a brief pause on the other end before he said quietly, “I can’t
