"You are a match for Gabriella." Raphael uttered the words while looking dead into my eyes."What?" I stuttered."The kidney," he said. "You are a match for her. She needs it urgently. I hope you will cooperate and not overreact."I sat on the edge of the leather sofa in his study and stared at him. This was the man I had loved for five years. This was the man I devoted my life to. He saved me from a car crash when I was eighteen, and I hoped every day that he would look at me with affection.Hearing these words from him made my chest ache. He stood across the room with his hands in his pockets. He wore a tailored black suit. His posture was rigid, and his expression showed no sympathy."You want me to give her my kidney?" I asked. I needed to hear him say it again because my brain refused to process the request.

"Arabella, are you insane?" Bianca asked through the phone. Her voice shook, but I heard the sharp tone she always used when she was serious. "You have been missing for five years. I thought you were dead.""I thought I was dead too," I said. I pressed my free hand against the thick bandages on my stomach. "I do not have time to explain right now. Raphael Bellini has me in his private hospital. He took my kidney.""He did what?" Bianca yelled. I heard the sound of keys jingling in the background. "Tell me where you are.""Bellini Medical Center," I answered. "Seventh floor. VIP recovery wing. Can you get a helicopter to the roof?""Give me twenty minutes," Bianca said. "Do not let anyone keep you in that room. Move toward the stairwell.""I will," I promised, and I ended the call.I looked up. The nurse stepped forward. She looked panicked, so she reached for the call button on the side of the bed."Mrs. Bellini, you must stay in bed," the nurse warned me. "You are risking internal bl
