Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 17
“Hey!” Kylo's voice boomed from the doorway. “Let her be, get somewhere else,” he said, surprising me.“But she could come over to yours, why mine?” I asked, my voice laced with frustration.“It’s my house,” he replied simply, foreclosing the possibility of debate.I had no more strength to argue. I packed my bag with a few necessary things for the next forty-eight hours and checked into another room. The other rooms in that house were usually empty, except when Grandpa Cassian came to visit and stayed in one of them.I took a hot shower and lay on the strange bed, feeling sad. It was somewhere I thought was my sanctuary from all external agitation, but here too I couldn’t find peace.I began thinking about Kylo and the woman who was sharing my room. Who was she? Why is she in my room? And why did Kylo seem so apathetic about it?My mind rushed with millions of queries, but tonight I knew there would be no answers. I closed my eyes trying to black out all noises and chaos, but sleep

I moved to a corner and curled up, shutting my eyes as Kylo’s steps grew closer. I waited for the hit to land on me, but it never came. When I opened my eyes, he had my plate of sandwiches in his hand.I rushed after him, colliding with his huge frame. The sandwich fell from his mouth, leaving a stain on his lips and suit. It landed on my hair and slid down to my cheek. Despite the situation, I couldn't help but laugh. Kylo, the ever-composed CEO, would need to change before heading to the office.When I finally looked up after laughing so hard, he was staring down at me. His eyes held a soft, amused look that made my cheeks grow hot. He touched my cheek, wiping off the sandwich, and then, to my surprise, licked his finger. This action made me look like a ripe tomato. What's more ridiculous is that I liked the moment. I turned and ran back to my bed, covering myself with a blanket. I was too embarrassed to watch him.---Later that day, I needed to drop a message for Kylo at his off

I glanced at the clock. It was already 3PM. I turned to face the project I was working on. “Miss Tia, I’m finishing up the presentation for the clients. Can it wait until Monday?” Tia’s eyes narrowed. “No, it cannot. This is urgent. Or do you think being the director’s wife exempts you from following orders?” I swallowed her frustration. “I’ll get it done.” As Tia walked away, I sighed and shifted my focus to the reports. Task completion exceeded the estimated time, so I could just briefly go through my presentation before the meeting.Task delay aside, I was able to finish what I needed to do and it was only then that a sense of unease crept over me. The next day was the day of the presentation, I made sure I arrived early to set everything straight. The boardroom was set, and I felt a flicker of hope. As the clients filed in, I confidently began my pitch. However, midway through, the projector screen went blank.I clicked frantically, but nothing happened. Panic rose within me as

Kylo’s POVIt has been a really crazy few weeks. My experience with Tia is one experience that really left an aftertaste in my mouth. I never imagined I’d have to deal with such malicious behavior in my own company, let alone toward Varya. The way she walked out of my office with a clenched fist, I knew she was telling the truth about Tia but I couldn't act with just words, and it left me with a sense of unease. Varya didn’t deserve any of this.Lately, I’ve found myself thinking about Varya more than usual. At first, I dismissed my interest as mere curiosity, but now, it's something deeper. I can’t pinpoint the exact moment it happened, but I realized she's more interesting than I thought. It’s complicated.When I got home tonight, I saw Dora walking out of my bedroom. Dora, my best friend and occasional fling, had come back into my life unexpectedly.I didn’t have the heart to turn her away. She’s been a part of my past for so long, and rejecting her now would hurt her. But seeing

Varya’s POVHow I lived the past few days with all the drama around me is a dream to me. Between Kylo’s girlfriend Dora, who was constantly breathing down my neck, and Tia, who showed hostility to me at work on a daily basis.I felt as if I was on the verge of a cliff. It had become tedious for me to learn something new every day and then deal with it. They were huge blocks to me.I was surprised to notice that when I reported to the office that morning, everyone was quiet and gave me eye contact only occasionally.It wasn’t the first time to have gossip thrown at me—my marriage to Kylo earns me some form of hate or the other—but today felt more intense. It was a strange feeling as if everyone had known something quite important occurred while I remained unaware."Hey, Var," Jasmin called out, rushing to my side. "Did you hear about the meeting this morning?""What meeting?" I asked, frowning. I hadn't received any notification."Exactly," she replied, her voice laced with concern. "I

“What client meeting?”The room fell silent. Tia turned to me, her expression a mixture of annoyance and fake concern. “Oh, Varya. I didn’t realize you were still here.”“Clearly,” I said, struggling to keep my voice even. “What’s going on? Why wasn’t I informed about this meeting?”Tia sighed dramatically. “We didn’t want to bother you. You’ve seemed so stressed lately.”I curled my hands as if holding some invisible objects. "I feel stressed because I am being deliberately kept in the dark about significant events. This is unacceptable.”Tia shrugged. “Maybe this isn’t the place for you if you can’t manage stress too."This hit me like a bolt. I could feel the eyes of my co-workers watching me, to some, with kindness and concern and to some, without mind. Somehow I managed to calm myself and remain relatively collected.“I can handle the pressure. What I can’t handle is being kept in the dark.”"Why will you go behind me to meet a client I have been assigned to, I have gone far with

I stirred and opened my eyes to the sound coming from the hallway in front of my door. As earlier, for a while, I was asleep but awake enough to hear sounds outside, barely able to fully focus my thoughts. Finally, the noise was still sounding in a continuous manner, and I could not contain myself anymore from getting close to finding out what it was. I quietly got up and moved towards the door while opening it slightly to check what was going on.To my surprise, I saw Dora and Kylo’s driver, Mr. Thompson, packing boxes. Dora was impeccably dressed, as always in a beautiful dress that enhanced her bubbly personality, and was giving some directions to the driver while holding a phone to her ears. “Yes, I'll be around soon,” She said speaking to someone on the phone, there was a trace of irritation in her voice. “I have a shoot in Paris, and I can’t afford to be late.A shoot in Paris? I could hardly believe my luck. Was she really leaving? For how long? My mind raced with

“You have to deal with it, it’s my house, oh and prepare some food I’ll be back late” he drove off after that.Huh? What am I, a cook? Did he pay for that? Cocky bastard! I came back home from work and felt so drained, so I thought that I should give myself an opportunity to dine at that small restaurant near the downtown area. Expecting the delicious duvet and company of the quietude, the warm food, and the solitude were little perks away from the life of confusion I faced. Coming into the restaurant, I could immediately smell the aroma of the foods being served as well as hear the faint conversations made by the customers. Sitting down by the window I ordered myself a meal and tried to let my mind ease while watching the calm world outside of the diner Through the window I saw a couple walking into the restaurant as my food came. My heart skipped a beat when I recognized them. Theo and Tia come in hand in hand, and it seems like a match made in heaven. They had seen me, it

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
