She Killed Me to Save Her Lover Chapter 4
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 the heart transplant, Caleb had a sudden personality change. So Clara had to transfer him to a psychiatric hospital....My heart was a perfect match for Caleb's body. 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. She cared for me devotedly, holding me through sleepless nights of pain, comforting me, and meeting all my needs.But after graduation, when she started studying for her medical boards, she moved to another room, claimin
She Killed Me to Save Her Lover 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

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
She Killed Me to Save Her Lover 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

Clara was suspended pending the hospital's investigation.She came home pale and panicked. Seeing me on the couch, she backed away, staring for a long moment. "Caleb… Are you Caleb?”I turned to her. "Who else?"She forced an awkward smile and kicked off her shoes, reaching for her usual pair by the door. Finding nothing, she checked the shoe cabinet and screamed."I threw out Leon's slippers! Why are they still here?"She ran to me barefoot. "Caleb, look in the cabinet. Do you see old gray slippers?"I glanced over and shook my head. "No, just two pairs of black men's slippers.""I washed yours and left them to dry on the balcony. I'll get them."As I stood, Clara grabbed my arm desperately. "No, stay. I'm scared."Scared?I gently pulled her into an embrace. "Of what?"She clung to me, trembling. "I... I don't know. Maybe I'm just tired, seeing things. There's nothing to fear.""I need a shower and sleep." She broke away and rushed to the bathroom, not bothering to undres

I didn’t even know how I left.But the moment I heard the door slam behind me, I regretted it. I didn’t want to leave the home Clara and I shared. That was our home. How could I just walk away?As I raised my hand to knock on the door again, a voice suddenly echoed in my head."Caleb, it was me. I killed Clara."The wind was strong that night, the rain was heavy, and I lured her to the beach to make a wish. Then I pushed her head into the water."She only had eyes for you."She took my heart, but she loved only you."She deserved it. I had to tear you two apart. Clara belonged to me."I shook my head violently, trying to get the voice out of my mind. “Who are you? I don’t know you! I didn’t kill Clara. I didn’t!”The voice just laughed. A loud, mocking laugh.“I’m Leon Marshall. I’m the other personality that emerged after you got my heart.“I loved Clara so much, but she kept telling me to leave, telling me to go away.

Clara's dead?No. It can't be true.I pushed past the woman at the door, shaking my head violently. She must be lying. Clara's playing a prank. She's hiding somewhere inside, waiting for me to find her.I searched the small two-bedroom apartment room by room. Every familiar corner, every possible hiding place. But Clara wasn't there.Desperate, I rushed back to the woman, gripping her arms. "Please, call Clara. I'm Caleb—I just need to see her. Tell her to come meet me."She shoved my hands away, her face cold. "Now you remember who you are, Caleb Carter?""She loved you so much. She ruined her medical career killing someone to get you a heart.""She could have been an incredible doctor. You made her throw it all away.""She sacrificed everything for you, but you couldn't let her go. You drowned her at the beach with your own hands."I drowned her?Impossible."No!"

"No..."I jolted awake, heart racing in unfamiliar yet somehow known surroundings. Panic seized me. I threw off the covers and rushed to the door, pounding it desperately. "Let me out! I need to see Clara! I remember everything—I have to tell her something important!"My fists hammered the door without response. Exhausted, I slid to the floor, defeated. My eyes caught the hospital bracelet reading "Caleb Carter." Gripping my head, I huddled in the corner, trembling.Time passed until footsteps approached. I jumped up as a nurse walked by, banging the door again."Let me out! I need to see Clara! Please!"The nurse frowned, placing a medication tray outside. She opened the small slot in the iron door. "Caleb, time for your meds.""I don't need medication! I'm not sick! I remember everything—just let me see her!"She paused, confusion crossing her face. "You want to see Clara Garnett?""Yes! Please! She's my girlfriend," I begged, clutching the slot's edge.The nurse raised an e

Clara had been driven mad with fear. She spent her days clutching a pillow, muttering Leon's name endlessly. She insisted she hadn't wronged him, questioning why he haunted her. Though she claimed to trust only science, declaring that death was final and souls didn't exist, she remained terrified that Leon had returned for her.Sleep eluded her, and when exhaustion finally won, she'd wake screaming until her voice gave out. The neighbors had called the police so often about her screams that officers regularly visited, suggesting we move elsewhere after seeing her condition.Remembering Clara's love for the ocean, I used her savings to rent a small beach house. Though rundown, its proximity to the water seemed perfect.Today's storm brought heavy rain. Each thunderclap sent Clara pressing against me in terror. I stroked her back soothingly."Remember in college, when you were trapped in the lab during that storm?" I said softly. "You called me at eleven, crying."You said, 'Leon,
