Todos os capítulos de Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat: Capítulo 131 - Capítulo 140

The continuous buzzing of my laptop was starting to irritate me, but I couldn’t help it. Not now. My office was pitch black apart from the bleak blue light from the screen as I viewed document after document.There was always something inside a file – a thread that might take me closer to Varya – but it all didn’t tie together coherently.I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my eyes. Theo and Tia had been cul-de-sacs; initially, everything pointed at them – they had both the cause and the fixation. Yet every lead that I followed came to a dead end without any success.Running in circles is why I hated it; it seemed that the truth lay just outside my reach. But if they weren’t responsible for Varya’s disappearance then who might they be?I still could not let go of an annoying voice within me.Something must have passed me by. Someone else who had reason to target her. Varya had been secretive about her past, careful about what she shared with me. Maybe she had enemies I didn’t know ab

The night had fully settled in, casting deep shadows across my office, the city lights in the distance a dim contrast to the darkness consuming my mind. My desk was covered with files and notes – all of them were attempts to find more information about Varya. The harder I tried to get some definite information… the more obscured it appeared to be. All the leads on the locations of Theo and Tia had been exhausted to a halt. However, there was this persistent part of me that wanted me to believe that there was something that I’d overlooked. And I just could not guess as to what or who, that was. I again opened the numerous police reports, this time turning to the case that had claimed Varya’s family and would have taken her life, too, had she been only a child. It had been qualified as a tragic accident provoked by a drunken truck driver Marcus Donovan. This case was eventually dismissed after he died in the fire while the agencies moved swiftly to record his death as closure. But t

The very idea that she had to suffer, her family had to be taken from her like that, made me want it even more. I had given her an undertaking to stand for her and now I was willing to do everything possible to reveal the true depth of the deceit that derailed her life.I looked at the clock, much to my surprise and shame that it would already be this time of the night. I still had to pay attention to the video but I was reaching the end of my tether. It was then that I stepped back a few moments turning my mind, to think of something else.I stepped towards the window and for a moment stared at the city outside to get my mind into some order.For me, the theories I had were rather creepy, and to imagine that such a person as Theo’s father could be involved in such a brutal act was horrible. It was a morbid way of thinking but I could not afford to relax – each lead had to be chased to the last.Something that was true had been concealed and I was to make the effort of unearthing it.

As I sat in my office, gazing at the file before me, my memories kept wandering to and fro with an unconsciousness I could not fully understand. It was late; the darkness outside my window had enveloped the city, yet sleep was something I couldn’t think about.Instead, I found myself trying to draw traces between predestination and accident while struggling to unravel how Varya and I were even related in any way at all. It was never just a contract marriage. Our lives intersected in a way that seemed designed by something far beyond mere business.Everything began from the moment when I found out about a more terrifying truth than what I would ever imagine—Theo’s father, Mr.Anderson was behind the tragedy that took away Varya’s relatives.But most disturbingly still was his entire business empire which he inherited based on ensuring that Varya’s parents remained brokenhearted forever.I pushed away the file, letting my head drop into my hands. Varya! How could I have been so blind? Th

THEO’S POVAs I slammed the door of my car, I felt like collapsing under the weight of today. It seemed like everything was falling apart faster than I could cope.The Cassian Group had caught us off-guard and no matter how many times I tried to manage the damage it was irreversible; shareholders were slipping through my fingers. Anger welled up within me while walking into the house because I already knew what awaited me.When I entered the living room, his presence enveloped me—waiting for me like a lion about to pounce on its prey."Theo." His voice was sharp, dripping with disappointment. I hadn't even taken two steps before his barrage began."Are you this incompetent, Theo?"I froze. My father was standing by the fireplace, his back turned to me, but his words cut like daggers."Look at our stock! Have you seen it? Our shares are plummeting, and you can’t even control the crisis!" He yelled.“Do you know how much it cost me? What I had to fight to bring that company to this poin
