All Chapters of They Took My Liver,Then They Cried at My Grave: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

I didn’t even flinch when I knew the death sentence. What’s the point?I’ve been living on borrowed time since they locked me up.Lina sauntered over, slapped divorce papers down on the table in front of me, looking sad. “Listen, Nick… Vincent’s liver is failing. You’re the only match. He wants us married before the surgery, so we’re signing these. It’s just for show, alright? I love you, but I just don’t want him going into that operating room with any regrets. Once he recovers, we’ll remarry. I promise.”I didn’t even reach for the pen. Of course that’s why they pulled me out of the sanatorium. Neurotoxin doesn’t target my other organs. They want the liver, and they can have it. Little did they know I’d be dead by sunrise.Before I could answer, my parents closed in. Mother leaned in, using that tone she wielded like a blade in court. “Your brother is dying. You’re gonna save him, or you will crawl back to that cell and never see daylight again. We don’t raise selfish cowards

Lina grabbed my arm and tried to yank me up.But I was so weak I stumbled and fell right at Vincent’s feet. I looked up, and he was grinning, no more fake sick act, just pure smug.My mind flashed back to five years ago, the night they threw me out. Rain was pouring down in Palermo. I was soaked to the bone, blood trickling from a cut on my head, walking aimlessly down the street.Lina pulled up next to me, held an umbrella over my head, bought me a slice of pizza at the corner shop, sat there for hours listening to me yell about how my family hated me. She’d sworn to be by my side forever, saying she hated Vincent more than anyone.When did that change? When Vincent started bringing her diamonds and taking her to fancy restaurants behind my back? When he kept showing up to all our dates, hanging off her like a leech? When they started sneaking out together at 2 a.m.?The woman I’d loved had chosen my worst enemy.A faint, sharp twinge pricked my deadened heart. But it didn’t mat

I hovered overhead, watching the surgeons wrap up the procedure.An eternity later, the lead surgeon stepped out of the OR. My parents and Lina descended on him in an instant.Not a single one of them asked after me. Their only concern was Vincent.“Doctor, how did it go? Is Vincent alright?” Lina’s voice was tight, frayed with raw urgency.The surgeon peeled off his surgical mask and gave a weary, slump-shouldered nod. “The transplant was a success. The liver graft has taken.”Still, not a soul breathed a word about me.When the nurses wheeled Vincent out, the three of them swarmed his gurney, drowning in relief.My body, meanwhile, was wheeled away without a second glance, bound for the morgue.Alive, I’d been an outcast. Dead, I was nothing but a discarded spare part.I’d spent my whole life believing that if I bent low enough, I might one day earn even a scrap of their love.They hovered at Vincent’s bedside until his lids finally fluttered open. Sofia’s eyes brimmed with tea

"He donated a kidney five years ago!"Lina collapsed to the floor. "He only had one functioning kidney... and I forced him to donate his liver. I killed him." Her head snapped up, grief curdling into razor-sharp fury. "Who the hell got his kidney?"The surgeon shook his head. "I don’t know. Every record was wiped clean. Surgical logs, financial trails, all of it. He was brought in unresponsive, heavily sedated."She called her second-in-command at once, barking orders.“Dig up every detail of Tommaso’s five-year-old kidney transplant. Leave no stone unturned, bring in everyone involved.”By dawn, the truth lay bare: sealed surgical logs, offshore bribe trails, signed kidnapper confessions, and sworn testimonies from every doctor paid to stay silent.Alone in the morgue's frigid hush, she brushed a lock of hair from my cold forehead. "I was the blind fool. I will burn this whole world down for you."I watched from above, torn by conflicting emotion. For five years I'd screamed the
