Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 165
VARYA'S POVThe room was dim, pillows were placed next to me as I sat at an angle on the bed. Gentle sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains and touched my body down to its softest corner. It had been just a few days after coming out of the hospital, and going back home felt like a relief that I never knew I required.However, this tranquility didn’t stay for long. As I rested on the bed in stillness, my ears caught sound waves traveling from down the hall. There went that unmistakable voice of Grandpa—deep and booming but with an underlying impatience."You… you dare put my granddaughter-in-law in such a mess?" His words struck me like thunder as they echoed in the hallway around us.I was surprised by his early visit, which made my heart beat faster because it was filled with both fright and affection. Before all these events unfolded I had known Grandpa to be very protective against me; now even more so than before.Wriggling around on warm sheets in bed, I made attempts at f

Grandpa let out a laugh and shook his head.Kylo sneered, “Oh, what do I have to face? A wife who has the audacity to laugh at me and a grandfather who has the nerve to bring her new husbands!”What was odd was that with that small change, I felt a kind of cheerful lightness in the room, a lightness I had not felt in a long time. For a moment it is as though all the horrors of life outside are not a reality, the hatred, the suffering, the dread.It was as if everything vanished into thin air because all that mattered was this simple embrace of the two people who cared for me most in this world.Laughing as though I wanted to split my sides I ended up having to clear my eyes of tears and look at them both. “I don’t need a new husband, Grandpa,”I said jokingly, looking at Kylo and smiling at him gently. “I’m quite happy with this one. ”Kylo’s features relaxed, and looking deep into his green eyes, I realized that the connection between us was stronger than it had ever been in the past

When the people cleared off after dinner, the grandparents went into their sitting room area for leisure by watching television. Kylo and I stayed longer in the dining room with an aura of tension that was so palpable that it grew by a second.I finally asked him in an almost inaudible voice “What is this all about?” The words slipped out before I could stop them, my confusion too strong to hold back any longer.Kylo turned to me, his expression serious. "What do you mean?"I bit my lip, trying to find the right words. "You’ve been so… different lately. Ever since I got back. You’ve been kind, affectionate even. But that’s not… that’s not how things have been between us. You don’t love me, so why… why are you acting like this?"The words hung heavy in the air between us, and I immediately regretted asking. But Kylo didn’t look angry. He looked… sad.He reached out, his fingers brushing against my hand. "Varya," he said softly, his voice thick with emotion."I know that I have been a b

I was sitting in the living room and looking at the blinking TV screen, not really hearing the voice of a news anchor. It had been a tiring day with Kylo as we put together all the leads that were to lead us into confrontation.Now, however, while watching as events unfolded on my TV set I felt overburdened by the weight of what had come to pass.Kylo’s pursuit for justice had known no limits and it was through his dedication that he discovered something horrifying, Mr. Anderson, always a looming figure in my life, was actually responsible for causing a car accident that killed my father and left my mother hospitalized.The fact that he was behind the wheel of the truck, which changed my life forevermore was incomprehensible to me.An unending stream of news was being shown. The evidence had been gathered by the investigative team and now, the public faced the shocking truth about what Mr Anderson did.I sat observing those presenters who were talking about conspiracy theories; they m

His company was a great source of comfort and strength to me and without him, I do not think, I would have been able to pull through this ordeal.The climax of any trial is the actual judgment and thus, it is the moment for judgment to be given.The jury convicted Mr. Anderson on several charges including manslaughter; conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges.The punishment was severe, as should have been the crimes committed by him, and the many lives that he affected. It became time for reckoning, a time I had often dreamed of – but was not entirely comfortable to rejoice in.As for the events, common people’s lives started to be reconstructed, and the trial became just a vivid memory. The emphasis then shifted from a loud banging of drums to an equally noisy beating of chests through commentary and analysis of the case.The public’s response ranged from material and psychological satisfaction with the verdict to the systematic critical reflection of how such power could be ex

For the first time since my recovery, I went outside the house and the cool breeze touched my face. The sky was that peculiar color that dazzles in pictures but isn’t very inspiring when all that you can think of is the chaos in your life.The sun, the wind, the sounds, and the smells should have been as liberating as the stench of the place I was a survivor of what Theo and his family had done to me. In fact, every time I took a step toward the car, I felt like I was stepping into a fight I knew I would not be able to win.Kylo was standing near me, saying nothing but just being there, which was comforting enough. He had wanted to come along with me, even when I had wanted to go alone, as this was something that I wanted to do myself. But now when we approached the police station, I appreciated him.Just the thought of coming face-to-face with Theo made my stomach turn upside down into some kind of twisted ball.Not only for what he had done but because a small part of me didn’t want

The evidence was gone? All of it? I had been counting on that evidence to build my case, to prove what had happened to me. Without it, what did I have?Theo’s smirk grew as he watched the realization dawn on me. "You see? It’s over, Varya. You don’t have anything."I stood there, frozen, my mind racing. How could he have done this? How could he have erased everything? The surgery, the hospital records—those were supposed to be permanent.They were supposed to be proof of what had happened to me. And now, they were gone.I felt a hand on my shoulder—Kylo. His touch grounded me and reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this."It’s not over," Kylo said, his voice firm."We’ll find another way. Just because Theo thinks he’s erased everything doesn’t mean there’s no trail. People remember. There are witnesses. There’s always something."My desire was to believe him. I wanted to cling to the hope of ever finding justice again where we can hold him accountable for what he had done. Standing the

If I hadn’t entered into this marriage contract with Kylo, what would have happened to my mother and me? Would we have withered away, abandoned by the very people who pretended to care for us?I shudder to think about what might have happened if Kylo hadn't stepped in. Perhaps I would’ve died alongside my father’s legacy, a mere footnote in the Andersons’ twisted games.And yet, as I stood there in the doorway, I couldn’t ignore the strange comfort Kylo’s presence had brought into my life.Was it fate, or mere coincidence, that our paths had crossed like this? Perhaps, in a world filled with betrayals, Kylo was the one piece of stability I could cling to.***I was sitting in the living room, my legs were folded under me, and I was just looking into space with no focus.If I had been in a room elsewhere, I’d have preferred the solitude but the stillness of the house was suffocating and the only thing that kept me company was the ticking of the clock which seemed to chime at me in an e

On getting there people moved faster than usual; nurses ushered me into one room after another helping me put on a hospital gown a long way.Kylo stood still near where people were turned upside down due to the speed of what was happening around them offering some comfort unlike any other distraction I might find outside pain was too much but still stuck onto this thought that everything would soon pay off.Soon, we would meet our baby.Hours passed in a haze of contractions and medical jargon, the world narrowing down to just me, Kylo, and the baby.The pain was intense, like nothing I had ever experienced before, but I refused to give in to fear. This was what I had been preparing for, what we had been waiting for.The baby was coming, and I was going to bring them into the world.Kylo never left my side, his voice a constant source of encouragement, his hand a lifeline as I struggled through each contraction.He wiped my forehead with a cool cloth and whispered words of love and re

This confidence he had in us, in our capacity to manage a new phase boosted my morale erasing my fear places.I remember it very vividly, we were watching a movie one afternoon while lying on the couch in the living room and suddenly I felt a vigorous kick. I choked on my words, putting the palm of my hand on my swollen belly.“What happened?” Kylo asked, sitting up at once.“Everything is okay,” I replied cheerfully. "The baby just kicked really hard. Here, feel."I guided his hand to the spot, and we both waited. A moment later, another kick came, this time even stronger.Kylo's eyes widened in amazement. "Wow... they're strong.""I know," I laughed. "I think we're going to have a little soccer player on our hands."He grinned, leaning down to press a kiss to my belly. "I can't wait to meet you, little one. But take it easy on your mom, okay?"I watched him, my heart swelling with love. Seeing Kylo so involved, and so excited about becoming a father, made everything feel even more s

It was rather reassuring to be back home after the whirlwind which is our honeymoon, yet at the same time it was also rather daunting.The Island was once a beautiful place where all I cared for was our presence, Kylo and I had no other distractions.But it was time for us to step back and face our day-to-day lives, my pregnancy, and everything that came with it.By then I was several months pregnant and some of the symptoms were clearly visible to the naked eye. My tummy protruded out significantly and with that some effect of carrying a child.While the honeymoon had provided respite from pregnancy, the moment we were home, pregnancy was as real as reality could get.When about the house I felt both at ease with being home though nervous about the changes happening to me and around me.It pleased me that Kylo stayed close at my side; his fingers lightly brushing over my lower back.He got more caring and thoughtful than ever; I could easily see how much he cared for me and how much

I trusted him with everything that I had: heart, future, and life. Two days later we were in a private jet, by the influence I guess Kylo had, I had no idea where we were going. Kylo was not on specifics up to that time, but I did not give it much thought. There is nothing like suspense or perhaps relying on the unknown on the person. With that, I reclined in the chair and then looked at the shrinking landscape outside the plane’s small window. Kylo leaned forward, picked up my hand in his, and I looked at him and smiled. “You’re really not going to give me any hints?” I said as calmly as I could, though my voice was visibly laden with curiosity. Kylo chuckled, shaking his head. “Nope. You’ll find out soon enough.” I pouted playfully, but I knew better than to press him. Kylo loved his surprises and I must say, I enjoyed them as well. There’s something good about not knowing what’s next, about just going with the flow and chilling. The flight went by in no time, with Ky

Those days after the wedding were as if I was on honeymoon, loved being in that state, and did not want to wake up. I might as well describe it like this; the tranquility that came over me was one I never felt before. It was as though a weight I had no idea was lifted off my back, allowing me to breathe freely once more. There was a warmth that filled my whole body in place of the constricted knots in my stomach. It is worth noting that in the beginning of the story our marriage can be described as a purely business-like arrangement, a very practical marriage of convenience. But instead with time, it had become something concrete, something lovely. The relationship that Kylo and I had was a product of the most unlikely circumstances and the complacency that I felt as I stared at the house we had constructed together could only be described as profound. It was morning, the sun was shining and the rays of sunlight started entering the room through the windows. I was now pl

Kylo went first, his voice steady as he began to speak.“So Varya,” he began glancing at my eyes all the time,“when we got married for the first time, it was a business deal between us; something that was advantageous to both of us but lacked emotional warmth typical of true marriage. I was unapproachable and even icy; I never gave you the love or respect that you deserved. But as time passed everything changed. I changed.”His grip on my hand tightened more and I could see how sincere he was from his facial expression which told me that he meant every word in every line on his face.“I fell in love with you Varya; it started off slowly before all these sudden feelings hit me. You taught me what it means to be there for someone else genuinely because one wants to change oneself for them.”“And I have caused you pain earlier but today I am making a promise as follows: To be the man whom you deserve; to love you wholly and to build a happy joyful life together based on faithfulness and

The morning of the wedding was as well fine with no clouds in the sky to disturb the blue of the day. Now I found myself back in front of the mirror in my childhood room strapped and ready for this like a kid on Christmas Eve.The dress I bought for my wedding was an off-white, beautiful lace and silk gown that fitted me to perfection. It was plain and elegant and made me feel like flowers were blooming on my dress and the garden we would be getting married in was nearby.My mother was frequently touching my face, fixing my veil in position enrollment arrangement She caught my eye in the mirror and smiled, her expression soft with love and pride.“You look stunning, Varya,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Kylo is a lucky man.”“Thank you, Mom,” I replied, my voice trembling slightly. “I just… I want today to be perfect.”“It will be,” she assured me, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Today is about you and Kylo, about the love you share. That’s all that matters.

VARYA’S POVThe day after Kylo's proposal felt like waking up in a dream. When dawn parted the curtains and let in the golden rays, it was hard to imagine that only a few hours ago Kylo had proposed to me for real.My hand went to the ring I now wore on my finger and the diamond again shone brightly against the sun, creating rainbows around the room.The moments were somewhat dreamlike and yet whenever I touched the ring on my finger I did not need anyone to tell me that this was all real. Kylo loved me.I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window and I looked outside at the city that was an unspoken character in our story, the one filled with both sorrow and happiness. This led my mind to the wedding which was now even in front of us.They were not an extension of a prior commitment, or repetition of a promise; it was the start of something fresh, of reality. And so the preparations could only be special as well.I could feel the buzz once I made my way downstairs in the ho

He had planned this event to be an entertainment for families, as well as business counterparts. The atmosphere in the room was filled with laughter, echoes of glasses touching, and music.This was ideally the environment that I wanted when I had planned the entire thing, but the feeling that swelled in my chest was almost tangible.I thought I was standing by one of the tall windows of the building looking down on the city below. The twinkling bulbs were of a high intensity and I observed it was dark like the sky at night and this made me take my eyes off it for a while.Yet, there I was thinking about Varya most of the time. It was her that made me develop nerves today and became the reason for this nervous energy in the night.She stood across the room dressed in burgundy dress which enhanced the curves of her body.She was gorgeous and although I was quite far I could notice the look of despair she was masking so well.It was a sadness that I realized that I had provoked and this
