Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 170
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

I fumbled, wondering if I had made out what I had heard right, from her mouth. “You mean photos? What sort of photos?”Jasmine shifted uncomfortably.“The night you were drunk and Theo took you out on that date… I was in his apartment I was… I was trying to find something Anything that could help you And I found the documents I didn’t know what they were at first but I took photos of them just in case.”Suddenly I felt that I was spinning around the room; I gazed at her for what felt like half the day in dumbfounded wonder.“You… you took photos?”She just nodded her head with a look of guilt and with some ray of hope on her face.“Yes. I never quite grasped just how valuable they were until everything went down. But, I have them, Varya. I have the documentation.”A sense of weakness washed over my entire body, and I barely managed to let myself fall on the couch, with my head spinning.Until now, I had thought all was gone, that Theo had burnt all that could be produced in a court of

Kylo walked into his home office where sunlight was filtering through the large windows and fell on the floor, creating a soft warm hue on the wooden floor. I stood in front of the desk while feeling so anxious that I kept leaning my fingers on the rim of a coffee cup.Beside me sat Jasmine and her body language was as rigid as my own. The silence between us was filled with all the events that occurred and there was now a sense of determination.It was strange, really. A few weeks ago I could not even count on myself to be sitting across from Jasmine in this manner. She had been there and had a hand in pulling the darkness over me, but she was here now after everything.Her betrayal was still etched in my mind, much like the mark of a scar, but the evidence she had retrieved gave me the glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.It was a call that I never required so much though without it, I felt like I was strangling.“We have to be very wise with this”, Jasmine eventually spoke in

I realized how she felt and I know really how terrible it is to be scared. Going to battle it out with Theo in particular meant that his influence was tremendous and could produce far-reaching results.But I couldn’t let that stop me. “I won’t lie to you,” I said softly.“It’s a risk. But if we do not stand up to him, he will continue to treat people like this. We have to put a stop to it. ”Maria sighed, and looked down at her hands, having a thoughtful look on her face. Finally, she agreed after a few moments had passed. “I’ll testify,”she said softly. “I will speak the truth. ”But that is when relief flooded me and then I thanked her by squeezing her hand softly. It wasn’t a lot but it was something and it could be gradually developed.But, with Maria’s testimony and the photos Jasmine had taken, we were accumulating materials. But I knew that there was still a long way to go and we were on the right track.These feelings stayed with me for some time and as the days went by I slo

The building that was to be my place of employment the following week was a concrete and steel-structured courthouse which looked rather ominous.This dark and cold building looked quite grey from the outside as if it perfectly encapsulated the grey area I was on the inside. But at the same time, when I was on the border of this place, I could also sense something else within me–determination.More so, I had walked the long journey and faced many odds in order to get this far not to speak of quitting. I had to trust the law, had to trust that this would be the time when Theo would be punished for everything he had done to me.Swinging the twin doors open I was met with a stale aroma…, the stagnated air in the courthouse was familiar – it belonged to the crowded files of the people in search of justice – our stories, etched within these walls.I was gearing up and entered the house my shoes clicking on the floor.As expected my attorney Elena Marino was already cooling her heels in one

Each day, I felt more and more like the old Varya, the woman I had been before Theo had stolen my kidney before he had broken me down and made me feel powerless.It wasn’t an easy process—there were still moments of doubt, moments when the trauma threatened to pull me back into the darkness. But with every step forward, I reclaimed a little bit of myself.Kylo was by my side through it all. I found his support quite surprising and it felt like some of the times he was following me blindly. This was the man whom I had married unwillingly, the man who was once so indifferent in our marriage.But now, he was there for me in ways I had never expected; not to die for me and protect me, but simply to phone and ask how I was. He was there for me when I fought all my inner battles and supported me when I was unable to support myself.One evening, when I came back home exhausted after spending the entire day taking preparations for the depositions Kylo and I started a conversation while seated

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
