Lahat ng Kabanata ng Stole My Kidney for His Crush: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I flinched at the sound of footsteps, eyes straining to open.Then came Bryson Schubert's voice—freshly arrived and ice-cold. It hit me like a slap."Mr. Schubert, are you sure? Your fiancée's always been frail. She might not survive losing a kidney."That was his assistant. Kidney? Whose?Before I could even think, Bryson stepped closer, voice like frost. "We've come this far for that kidney. Hurry—Lily can't wait."My blood ran cold. He was really doing this—for Lily Khunt."Bryson... Bryson..."I barely whispered his name, faking that out-cold vibe. He froze. The needle scratched my skin, and I flinched."Don't be scared, Kayla. I'm here. Just let the doctor check you. You're okay."Yeah, right. Sensing I was waking up, he plunged the needle in.As the anesthesia kicked in, tears slid down my face and hit his chest. Then—blackout.The dream felt like it'd never end. Young Bryson, holding white roses, all sweet lies."Kayla, I'll love you forever. I'll protect you forever

I cried out. The door flew open.Bryson stormed in. "What the hell are you doing?!"He kicked the nurse a few times, then scooped me into his arms, face twisted with guilt. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let this happen again."But you've gotta stop picking on Lily. She didn't grow up with much—she sees you as her only sister. Try to understand her."Sister?I exhaled sharp and hard. I'd never hated that word more.I met Lily at one of Bryson's company events. Just an intern back then—no background, no backup. People pushed her around.I felt bad and stepped in.After that, she clung to me. Said she had no family, called me the sister she never had.I bought it. Taught her the ropes, even brought her along when I hung out with Bryson.Back then, I thought it was cute how well they clicked. Now? I see it clear as day—it was all planned.In a company that size, she wasn't the only one with a rough past.This wasn't fate. Bryson planted her next to me so he could flaunt her out

Click.The door opened, and it felt like a lifeline.Lily glanced at the blood on her hand and bit down on her own arm.Bryson stepped in just as Lily started fake-crying, soaked in my blood. "Kayla, please don't be mad. If you're still upset, bite me again."Cue the waterworks—Bryson lost it.He slapped me."I've told you—stop picking on Lily. She hasn't done anything. If you're gonna act insane, leave. This hospital isn't for you."The guy who used to beam the second I walked in? Now he couldn't wait to kick me out.All because I "hurt" Lily."Apologize," he snapped. "Or maybe I'll show you how it feels to get bitten."His voice went ice cold.I lowered my head and muttered a sorry.***Time crawled by. Then came the big day—my discharge and our engagement.The makeup team showed up early.They styled my hair, did my face, but kept glancing at the scar on my waist.It looked like a nasty centipede crawling across my skin."All done. Let's get you into your dress."T

"Hand over Kayla."Lily acted like she was in charge, but everyone froze.Even Bryson, all smug a second ago, dropped his gaze.He knew exactly where those bodyguards came from—and what it meant that Robin was Eastwood Corp's CEO. He never planned to tick her off unless things got desperate."Wait, that's her? Robin Eastwood—the iron-blooded CEO from Seaport? She's legend. I heard she got invited to this party, but I thought it was just gossip.""And Bryson's little side chick thinks she can square up to Robin? Please. Look at the difference—it's laughable.""Bullied a helpless girl and got busted by Robin Eastwood herself... this party's officially a disaster."Whispers flew through Crellan's elite crowd.To them, I was nothing—just some disposable girl. Maybe they pitied me, but none of them were about to mess with the Schuberts over it.But Robin was different—one of the rare women at the top.Whispers flew. Bryson shrank by the second. Guests started slipping out, not wan

Mom's eyes were puffy from crying. The second she saw me, she almost collapsed.Dad looked calm, but his hands—tucked into his sleeves—were shaking hard."My baby."When Mom hugged me, I finally broke.Robin laid out everything—my condition, what they did to me.My parents' faces kept cycling through rage."They're monsters. How could they do this to my Kayla? We're not letting this slide."They dove into every way to take Bryson down.I just listened, crushed with regret—but yeah, I finally felt safe.***Bryson had just found out the entire Eastwood family had rolled into Crellan City.No way was he about to face them—especially not Kayla.So he told Lily to apologize for him.He still thought Kayla had a soft spot for him. That if he played it right, she'd come running back.Lily shot that down fast. She hadn't shown her face in high society since the last disaster. One more apology? No thanks."Bryson, the Eastwoods don't even live here. They're not actually gonna go
