I loved Clara deeply. When she was in danger, I didn't hesitate to save her, even at the cost of my own life. The incident left both my legs broken and confined me to a wheelchair, but she promised we'd marry once she passed her medical boards. To help her focus on her studies, I worked tirelessly, wheeling myself around day and night to make ends meet. But behind my back, she rekindled her relationship with Caleb Carter, her childhood sweetheart. One day, I found her in his arms, laughing and happy. I confronted her, demanding to know why she'd betrayed me. She responded by shoving me to the ground, treating me like I was worthless. Then she pulled a scalpel from her medical bag, her hands steady as she held it over my chest. "Caleb needs a heart transplant to live," she said. "Please, help me one last time."

Chapter 1

In the dead of night, my legs throbbed with unbearable pain, making sleep impossible. I reached for my painkillers in the bedside drawer, only to find the bottle empty.Frustrated, I struggled to sit up, my useless legs dragging across the sheets. Gripping the armrest of my wheelchair, I heaved myself over. The landing was rough - my ankle caught the edge, tearing off a chunk of skin.Looking at my bleeding ankle, I let out a bitter laugh. What cruel irony that legs that can't walk can still feel such pain.A dull ache spread through my body, making me wince. Since the accident, painkillers had become my constant companion. Sometimes I wondered if complete numbness would be a blessing - for both me and Clara.I wheeled myself out carefully, trying not to disturb Clara's studying. Her medical boards were tomorrow, and she'd promised we'd marry once she passed.I'd watched her work tirelessly all year, and I truly believed she would succeed.

Chapter 2
The day Clara's exam results came out, she vanished.My calls went unanswered. I wheeled anxiously around our apartment until dusk, unable to sit still any longer. Finally, I decided to go look for her.Our apartment was in a run-down complex with poor maintenance. The hallways were narrow and dim, with burnt-out bulbs no one ever replaced. Just maneuvering my wheelchair past the cluttered corridor was a challenge. The tight space and my useless legs made it nearly impossible - after an hour, I'd barely made it halfway out.In frustration, I slammed my fists against my legs. "Why?" I shouted. "Why did both my legs have to be ruined?"Tears slipped between my fingers as I covered my face. I wiped them away roughly, telling myself nothing was certain yet. Clara might resent me, but she hadn't actually ended things. As long as she kept her promise, I still had hope.Just as I steeled myself to try again, my phone buzzed. An anonymous message with a photo attached.Though the image w

Chapter 3
Unable to pay for the damages, I faced legal action from the neighbors, forcing the police to detain me.Clara arrived while I was processing the detention paperwork. She stood before me in a red dress, perfectly styled and made up. I tensed, instinctively trying to move my legs, but they remained heavy and unresponsive."Why did you come?" I asked, tasting blood from my bitten lip.Clara's eyes betrayed her disgust, though her words were gentle. "If you hadn't saved me two years ago, I'd be dead now."So don't talk about breaking up. I'll keep my promise."Once I start at the hospital, we'll get married."She moved to take my hand but recoiled at the sight of dirt and dried blood. I forced a smile and hid my hand, matching her gesture.Clara paid to settle everything, and the police released me.On the ride home, she stared out the window, avoiding my gaze. At our building, she tipped the driver generously to help me into my wheelchair and up to our apartment.As she rushed t

My heart...When I saw Clara's eyes, my chest tightened. I desperately wheeled backward, shaking my head. "I can't help you."Clara stepped closer, gripping my wheelchair. "But you said you'd give me anything." Her voice softened, though desperation lurked beneath. "He needs your heart.""You want to trade my life for his?" My voice shook with unfamiliar rage.Clara took my hand, her voice honey-sweet. "Don't you want my happiness? Give Caleb your heart, and I'll be forever grateful."Her cool fingers gripped mine, but I felt nothing. My eyes fixed on the hickeys on her neck—like demons mocking me. For the first time, I refused her. "I won't give him my heart. And I don't need your pity marriage because I saved you once. I'll leave now and never return. You can be with him forever."I pulled away, staring at the floor.Clara stood, her face darkening as she laughed coldly. "I'm taking that heart, whether you agree or not.""If you won't be reasonable, we'll handle this differen

Caleb?I stared at Clara in disbelief, my legs jerking in panic. The sudden ability to move them filled me with shock and joy. Looking back at Clara, conflicting emotions surged through me.Clara had gone to such lengths to kill me and use my heart to save the man she loved most—Caleb Carter. But now, inhabiting Caleb's body was the very person she'd despised and betrayed.I remembered vividly the steel pipe striking my head.Now fate had given me a second chance, and I intended to make Clara feel the same betrayal she'd inflicted on me.Noticing my silence, Clara touched my head gently. Her cool fingers brushed my forehead, smoothing my hair. She pulled the blanket up carefully, her eyes full of love. "Are you uncomfortable?" she asked softly."Even though Leon's heart was a perfect match, rejection is still possible. Tell me if anything feels wrong."Looking at her face, rage bubbled up inside me. She'd been cold and distant when we were together, but now, with Caleb's face, s

After two months, there hadn't been a single sign of rejection. The staff in Clara's hospital called it a medical miracle.The successful surgery earned Clara a promotion to assistant director of cardiology.She sat beside me, her face radiant as she arranged flowers in my bedside vase. "Caleb, you're my lucky charm. Everything's been perfect since you came into my life."You're being discharged tomorrow. What would you like to do? I'll go anywhere with you."Watching her back, I clenched my fists before wrapping my arms around her.In my first year of disability, Clara and I shared a room.

Chapter 7
Our old apartment was near Clara's hospital. After my discharge, she suggested staying there until we married and moved somewhere new. I agreed readily - perfect for my plans for revenge.Clara helped me through the doorway. Immediately, I noticed the blood stains still marking the floor. Looking at those dark splotches, I could picture Clara and Caleb beating me until I was brain dead, then dragging my body away to hide their crime."What's wrong? Why aren't you going in?" Clara nudged me."I've cleared out all of Leon's things," she said with a reassuring smile. "Fresh sheets, new covers, and those light-colored curtains you love. I cleaned everything last night - we can sleep in the master bedroom tonight.""I even used the same detergent you like. Go see if you approve."Clara guided me toward the bedroom. Seeing the freshly decorated room, I gripped the doorframe tightly.In our five years together, Clara rarely lifted a finger around the house. Even when I was swamped with

Chapter 8
That night, Clara and I lay together under the new blankets. She held me close, her arms around my waist, head on my shoulder. As she slept peacefully beside me, I lay wide awake. It was our first night sharing a bed, yet sleep wouldn't come.I stared at her slender neck, slowly raising my hand toward her throat. Just before touching her skin, foreign memories suddenly flooded my mind.Startled, I pulled back and closed my eyes, letting myself sink into these memories.In them, Clara was vibrant and full of life. She'd wipe her sweaty face with Caleb's varsity jacket and share his water bottle without a second thought.At basketball games, whenever Caleb scored, he'd immediately search the crowd for Clara. She was always there, cheering the loudest.Though quiet around others, Caleb couldn't stop talking when Clara was near. People called Clara "Caleb's shadow," but Caleb knew he was the one who couldn't live without her.Senior year, they promised to attend the same college. Eve

After Clara left, I contacted a dating service manager, requesting a woman meeting specific criteria. They quickly sent me three profiles.I chose the oldest - average-looking but clearly desperate for money.As I called her, Clara texted me, saying she had a free afternoon and wanted to meet for lunch.I stared at her message, gripping my phone tighter. "Let's meet at the restaurant near the hospital," I replied.Then, into the phone, I said, "Follow the plan, and you'll get your payment."She agreed immediately.After hanging up, I sent Clara a simple "Okay."Seeing her cheerful reply, I pocketed Caleb's phone and changed into one of the new outfits Clara had bought me.Before leaving, I retrieved Leon's phone from the bottom drawer. I needed it to ensure Leon's revenge.At the restaurant, the woman - Rebecca Miller - was already waiting.We exchanged pleasantries, and I led her to a window table.Rebecca eyed me hungrily. "If I'd known you were this handsome, I wouldn't h

Chapter 10
After paying Rebecca, I used Leon's phone to send the restaurant conversation recording to the hospital director's email.Back home, I waited. Clara had a pattern - when upset, she'd drink and stumble home late. Right on cue, she returned that night, reeking of alcohol.Face flushed, she kicked off her heels and staggered toward me, jabbing an unsteady finger in my direction."Caleb, I was so wrong about you. How could you betray me?" she slurred. "What does she have that I don't? How is she better?""You would've jumped from that window if I hadn't stopped you that day. These past five years, even with Leon, I never stopped thinking of you. I thought once I passed my boards and got Leon's heart, we'd finally have our happy ending.""I got my license. I got Leon's heart. But..."She grabbed my collar, tears streaming down her face as she rose on tiptoes. "Why did you change, Caleb? Why?"I gripped her wrist, my voice ice-cold. "What about Leon? How was he worse than me? Why did
