My family and fiancé begged me to donate my last remaining kidney to my twin sister, Kyleigh. They didn't know I was already dying. My fiancé, Axel, gave me an ultimatum. "Donate the kidney, or I'll break our engagement and marry Kyleigh. It's her dying wish." I agreed, only for them to frame me for plagiarism with my own thesis, forcing me to confess on camera. They never knew I was the one who secretly saved our father with my other kidney five years ago-a sacrifice Kyleigh had stolen all the credit for. As they wheeled me into the operating room, they celebrated with Kyleigh, promising her a future built on my death. I was already a ghost to them. But I died on the table.

My family and fiancé begged me to donate my last remaining kidney to my twin sister, Kyleigh. They didn't know I was already dying.

My fiancé, Axel, gave me an ultimatum.

I agreed, only for them to frame me for plagiarism with my own thesis, forcing me to confess on camera. They never knew I was the one who secretly saved our father with my other kidney five years ago-a sacrifice Kyleigh had stolen all the credit for.

As they wheeled me into the operating room, they celebrated with Kyleigh, promising her a future built on my death. I was already a ghost to them.

Chapter 1

Jana Doyle POV:

The bitter truth was a quiet hum beneath my skin, a melody of inevitability. My life, meticulously crafted by others, was finally reaching its crescendo, not in triumph, but in a silent, tragic fade. It was a strange kind of peace, this surrender.

Axel walked into the sterile waiting room, his usually impeccably composed face now a mask of heavy concern. His eyes, normally sharp and calculating, were clouded with a torment that wasn' t for me. He looked at me, then past me, as if I were a ghost already.

"Jana," he began, his voice rough, "it's Kyleigh."

Of course, it was Kyleigh. It always was. Five years ago, her health issues had first cast a long shadow over our lives. Now, her remaining kidney was failing, a ticking clock that echoed the one inside me.

He didn't waste time with pleasantries. "She needs a kidney. Immediately." The words hung in the air, heavy and absolute, a demand rather than an plea.

My breath hitched. I knew this was coming. I' d seen it in my parents' strained smiles, in Kyleigh' s increasingly desperate pleas for attention. My sister, the fragile one, the golden child, needed saving again. And I was expected to be the savior.

Axel pulled a folded document from his jacket. It was a prenuptial agreement, but with a horrifying twist. "If you refuse, our engagement is off. I'll marry Kyleigh. It's her dying wish, Jana." His voice was low, but the threat was clear, cold steel. He would sacrifice me to fulfill a morbid fantasy, to play the hero to her damsel in distress.

Marry Kyleigh. The thought was a fresh wound, but my existing ones were too deep to let it truly sting. I was already dying. What did a broken engagement matter when my own breath was a borrowed gift?

"Axel," I said, my voice barely a whisper, "you know the risks. She's delicate. Time is critical." I was talking about Kyleigh, but the words felt like a cruel joke, a twisted echo of my own silent countdown.

He leaned closer, his voice laced with a desperate urgency. "This is her last chance, Jana. She won't make it without you. You're strong. You always have been." His words were a balm, a poison, a testament to how little he truly saw.

"Your parents... they agree," he added, his gaze flicking away. "They say it's your duty. For the family." That was a familiar refrain, one that had played on an endless loop for as long as I could remember. My duty. My sacrifice.

His hand reached for mine, a gesture that once meant comfort, now felt like a leash. "Jana, I love you," he whispered, his thumb caressing my knuckles. "I do. Just... just get through this. After Kyleigh is well, after... after this is all over, we'll be together. I promise."

The words tasted like ash. After Kyleigh is well. After I am gone. Did he even hear himself? He was promising a future that had no room for me, built on a foundation of my imminent demise.

I remembered the quiet agony of five years ago, my father' s fading strength, the frantic search for a donor. I remembered the hushed conversations, the desperate prayers. And I remembered stepping forward, anonymously. My body still bore the scar, a silent testament to a sacrifice no one knew I' d made.

I had only one kidney left. My kidney. The other was beating in my father' s chest.

My family, blinded by their adoration for Kyleigh, had always viewed her as Fred' s savior. They had praised her "bravery," her "selflessness," never once questioning the convenient narrative. If I told them the truth now, they would simply dismiss it as malice, as a twisted attempt to steal Kyleigh' s glory. They had done it before.

When I tried, once, years ago, to hint at my own contribution, their dismissal was swift and sharp.

"Jana, don't be ridiculous," my mother, Joyce, had snapped, her eyes wide with feigned offense. "Kyleigh was so brave. You were... well, you were just being difficult, as usual."

My father, Fred, had added, "Don't be ungrateful. Your sister saved my life. You just stood there, so selfish."

The words were a physical blow, a dull ache that resonated in my chest. They painted me as resentful, jealous, unfeeling.

They had thrown me out that day, not with a bang, but a chilling quiet. "Go on then," Joyce had said, waving a dismissive hand. "If you can't be supportive, you can leave."

And Axel, my Axel, had been there. He had found me, a lost, broken thing, and he had promised to be my sanctuary. But even he, in his misguided loyalty, had called me "ungrateful" for challenging Kyleigh's narrative. He saw my pain as a flaw, my voice as a complaint.

Now, here he was, asking me to perform the ultimate sacrifice, again, with my last vital organ. And I was so tired. The illness, this insidious poison stealing my life, had worn me down to a fragile husk. The fight had long since left me.

I looked at Axel, at the desperation in his eyes, at the way his hand trembled slightly on mine, not with love for me, but with fear for Kyleigh. A ghost of a smile touched my lips, a bitter, private acknowledgment. They would never understand. They never had.

"I'll do it," I said, my voice flat, devoid of emotion. "I'll donate."

Axel' s head snapped up, his eyes widening. Relief flooded his face, quickly followed by a triumphant glint. He stared at me, astonished, as if I had just pulled a miracle from thin air. He hadn't expected me to agree, not without a fight. He hadn't known how truly broken I was.

"Jana!" he exclaimed, his voice thick with gratitude. He crushed me in a hug, a desperate, almost painful embrace that was meant for his own relief, not for my comfort. "Thank you. Thank you so much. You're a lifesaver."

He pulled away, his eyes shining, and then, without a word, he snatched up the prenuptial agreement. He tore it in half, then again, the sound a sharp rip in the quiet room. The pieces fluttered to the floor like discarded promises. My fate was sealed. The contract dissolved, but my death sentence remained.

The next few hours were a blur of frantic activity. I was whisked away, a mere commodity, a spare part. My parents arrived, a flurry of agitated whispers and worried glances directed solely at Kyleigh' s room. They didn't even look at me as I was prepped for surgery.

Joyce, my mother, rushed to Kyleigh' s bedside, collapsing into a chair, tears streaming down her face. "My poor baby," she sobbed, clutching Kyleigh' s hand. "You'll be okay. You have to be."

Fred, my father, his face etched with worry, paced the hallway, barking orders at nurses, demanding updates. "She's strong," he kept repeating, as if to convince himself. "She'll pull through. Our family will be whole again."

He returned with the consent forms, his pen already poised. He signed quickly, without a second glance at the details, his focus entirely on the perceived outcome for Kyleigh.

Then, he looked at me, a flicker of something in his eyes-not genuine concern, but a distant, almost perfunctory acknowledgment.

"You're being so mature, Jana," he said, patting my arm, a gesture devoid of warmth. "This is what family does. We look out for each other."

Mature. A word they used when I complied.

"We know we haven't always been... fair," Joyce added, dabbing her eyes. "But Kyleigh needed us more. She was always so fragile. You were always so independent." It was their usual excuse, a thinly veiled justification for decades of neglect.

"Don't worry," Fred interjected, pulling out his wallet. He waved a credit card. "Your share of the family trust is still yours. This doesn't change anything, financially."

"I don't want it," I said, my voice dull. The words felt foreign, even to me. What good was money when I was signing away my life?

Joyce stared at me, her eyes narrowing. "Jana, don't be ungrateful. That's a substantial amount. It' s for your future."

But I had no future. The poison in my blood ensured that. The world seemed to tilt, blurring at the edges. My body was a battlefield, and the war was nearly lost.

My mind drifted, five years back. The hospital corridor, the hushed fear. Fred, lying pale and still, waiting for a kidney. Kyleigh, my twin, suddenly hailed as a hero, her "sacrifice" whispered with awe. Her scar, a thin, perfect line from a cosmetic surgeon, became the emblem of her selflessness. And my scar, deep and ragged, the one that truly saved him, remained unseen, unknown.

From that day, Kyleigh became untouchable. Every whim, every complaint, every fabricated illness amplified. She accused me of mocking Dad' s condition, of being jealous of her "bravery." My parents believed her, their golden child, without question.

"Jana, you're just trying to hurt your sister," Joyce would sigh, whenever I tried to speak.

"Why can't you be more like Kyleigh?" Fred would demand, his voice laced with disappointment.

I stopped fighting. It was easier to disappear, to become the silent shadow they expected me to be.

Now, in the pre-op room, they gathered around Kyleigh's bed, a tableau of love and concern. Joyce stroked Kyleigh's hair, Fred held her hand, Axel sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on my sister with an intensity that burned. They laughed, hushed and nervous, shared private jokes, whispered words of encouragement.

I stood by the window, a silent sentinel, watching the last rays of sun bleed across the sky. I was on the brink of giving my life, yet I was utterly alone, an invisible presence in my own tragedy.

They don't even see me. The thought was a dull throb, a truth that no longer stung, only resonated with an empty echo. I was a means to an end, a forgotten sacrifice.

For ten years, I lived for Dante Moretti. I waited for my eighteenth birthday, knowing that the Alpha of the Dark Nebula was my fated mate. But when the day finally came, he didn't claim me. He brought Isabella home instead. A warrior. A political asset. "Welcome home, my future Luna," he announced to the pack, shattering my heart in front of everyone. I was just the orphan girl who couldn't Shift. A liability. To ensure I knew my place, Isabella offered me a "gift." A collar made of pure silver. To a human, it is jewelry. To a wolf, it is acid. When she locked it around my neck, the metal sizzled. The smell of my own burning flesh filled the room. I fell to my knees, screaming, looking at Dante with tears in my eyes. I begged him to stop her. But he just looked at me, his face a mask of cold logic. "Wear it," he commanded, ignoring the smoke rising from my skin. "Consider it discipline. If you take it off, you leave the Pack." He thought he was protecting me. He thought making me look weak would save me from his enemies. He didn't realize he was killing the girl who loved him. That night, I didn't just take off the collar. I closed my eyes, found the golden thread of our Mate Bond in my mind, and snapped it in half. Dante collapsed in the hallway, clutching his chest in agony as he felt our connection die. "What did you do?" he whispered into the void. "I set you free, Alpha," I said. Then I ran into the storm. He thought I was a defenseless human. He didn't know I was the lost daughter of the Royal White Wolf bloodline. And when I returned, I wouldn't be kneeling.

Her Son, His Secret

Her Son, His Secret

Romance

3.5

For five years, I clung to the memory of Liam, my husband, lost to a mysterious accident. Then he reappeared, a month ago, but he was a stranger, stripped of his memories of me, and worse, he brought her-Chloe, the sweet, innocent woman he' d met while he was gone. Now, Chloe, pregnant with Liam' s child, slid a half-million-dollar check across my own mahogany table, a cruel offer to buy me out of my marriage. Liam, when he walked in, only cemented my nightmare, his face softening for her and hardening in cold impatience for me, accusing me of bothering her in my own home. He even suggested I help Chloe plan their wedding, believing her lies about his lost child that once was ours. Cold rage replaced my heartbreak; if he wanted a wedding planner, I' d be the best-and then disappear, completely. But Chloe' s cruelty didn' t stop. She orchestrated my kidnapping, gloating that Liam' s amnesia was her doing, a drug she' d used for years to erase me. When Liam found me, battered and bruised, he accused me of faking it all to frame Chloe. My world shattered, but amidst the wreckage, an email arrived: my permanent residency in New Zealand was approved. I signed the divorce papers, ready to leave, just as my brother texted: Liam had another accident, hit his head, and remembered everything. Without hesitation, I broke my phone' s SIM card and tossed it, choosing to leave the pieces of my past behind. Two years later, Liam, haunted and remorseful, found me in New Zealand, wanting to apologize and fix what was broken, desperate to know about the son clinging to my leg-Leo. "No, Liam. He is not yours. He is mine." I told him, crushing his impossible hope. I explained that the love I had for him, and our future, had simply transferred to Leo, the family we were supposed to have. At Leo' s first birthday, a deranged Chloe attacked me with a knife, Liam, true to his word (and perhaps seeking redemption), threw himself in front of me, and took the fatal blow, paying his debt. I felt nothing but a transaction completed; his life for my stolen five years. Later, a tall, impeccably dressed stranger arrived, his face uncannily like Leo' s. "My name is Julian Davenport," he said, his gaze fixed on my son. "I believe you have my son. The clinic made a rather significant error with my donation. It seems they gave you the premier sample by mistake. So, I've come to collect him."

My life as a celebrated chef was perfectly seasoned: a Michelin-starred restaurant, a demanding but respected father, and a beautiful fiancée, Chloe, who promised an empire. Then, one catastrophic night, I found Chloe, my love, in a passionate embrace with Liam, my supposed business partner, amidst the dry storage of my father' s restaurant. Rage, blinding and raw, consumed me. A fight erupted, sacks of flour burst, and cooking oil slicked the floor, transforming our kitchen into a powder keg. My ailing father, drawn by the chaos, collapsed, his eyes filled with disappointment, not at the scene, but at me. Chloe seized the moment, twisting the narrative: "He' s lost it, Dad! He' s going to destroy everything!" Liam, at Chloe's silent command, ignited a kitchen torch and tossed it into the spilled oil and flour. The world exploded in flames as Chloe dragged Liam away, screaming, "Ethan did this! He tried to kill us all!" I was left trapped in a roaring inferno with my dying father, his last breath a whisper against my hand. At the hospital, framed as the jealous arsonist, I learned my father died of a heart attack, not the fire. Chloe, pristine and emotionless, pressured me to donate skin grafts to Liam, the man who set the fire, repeatedly. I overheard her cold calculations: my "tragedy" was a marketing opportunity, and my subsequent injuries meant "no messy heirs to complicate the inheritance." They wanted everything, including my very essence, leaving me an empty shell. Liam, with a cruel smirk, taunted me, "Chloe' s with a real man now. Someone who can give her what she wants." I finally saw it all: a calculated, systematic destruction, orchestrated by the woman I loved. The pain, once crippling, ignited a new purpose; this was not the end, but the beginning of a war.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
