I DONATED HALF MY LIVER TO SAVE MY HUSBAND... TWO DAYS LATER I HEARD HIM PROMISE EVERYTHING TO HIS SECRET LOVER
Chapter 1: The Hospital Room
"I'll divorce her the moment she wakes up."
I froze outside the hospital room.
My hand was still resting on the door handle.
The fresh stitches across my abdomen burned with every breath.
I had donated half my liver...
Forty-eight hours earlier.
To save my husband's life.
Now...
I couldn't feel my legs.
Inside the room, my husband laughed.
"I never thought she'd actually do it."
A woman giggled.
Soft.
Young.
Confident.
"I told you she was stupid."
More laughter.
Then my husband, Adrian Sullivan, said the sentence that shattered thirteen years of marriage.
"She was just keeping you alive for me."
My heart stopped.
The hallway spun.
I slowly looked through the narrow glass window.
There he was.
Healthy.
Smiling.
Holding another woman's hand.
She leaned over and kissed his forehead.
The same forehead I had kissed before surgery.
The same man whose life I had begged doctors to save.
The doctors said he would die without a transplant.
I never hesitated.
Not once.
I signed every consent form.
Accepted every risk.
Ignored every warning.
Because I loved him.
The woman pulled a velvet jewelry box from her purse.
Adrian opened it.
Inside was the engagement ring...
I had picked out with him.
Three months earlier.
He slipped it onto her finger.
Perfect fit.
She smiled.
"I can't wait until your wife leaves."
He laughed.
"She won't leave."
She frowned.
"What?"
He shrugged.
"She doesn't know the house is already in my name."
I almost laughed.
Because it wasn't.
Then she asked,
"What about the company?"
Adrian smirked.
"I convinced her to transfer everything before surgery."
Silence.
Then both of them laughed.
The loudest laugh came from Adrian.
"The fool really believed I wanted to rebuild our life."
Tears blurred my vision.
But strangely...
I wasn't crying anymore.
The pain in my body suddenly felt smaller than the pain in my heart.
A nurse walked toward me.
"Mrs. Sullivan?"
I quietly removed my wedding ring.
Placed it into her hand.
May you like
Then smiled.
"Could you please throw this away?"
