Seven Heartbeats to Forever
It was the day Jessica Goldenfold got the International Wealth Club Charity Award. My doctor pronounced me dead, for I could not afford the artificial heart needed for my survival.
The show's host asked Jessica to call the one whom she had the most regret about. She called my number.
I picked it up. She asked, "Do you ever regret leaving me for money?"
I stared at the obscene bill for the artificial heart. Then, I chuckled. "You're a rich girl, Jessica. How about a loan of 30 grand?"
She killed the call. I watched her telling everyone in front of the cameras, "No more regrets."
She had no idea at all. She had no idea that I was the one who gave my heart to her when she had heart failure. I did it behind her back.
