CEO‘s Mistaken Wife

VARYA’S POV 

"That Varya agreed to give one of her kidneys to Leah doesn’t entitle her to demand anything from you, Theo.

She just happened to be the unfortunate one with a matching organ.” I heard my fiancee's mother say. 

In the shadows, I stood shocked and bewildered, I couldn't believe the words I just heard.

They sliced through me like a dagger, as if I were pierced through, each word piercing deeper into my already broken and shattered heart.

Giving up a kidney for his sister was supposed to be an act of love, not a ticket for his family to treat me like some disposable commodity. 

“Is not as if you will be getting married to her, that engagement is just a facade. Quickly end things with her before Tia comes back, and her family begins preparation as we agreed” she continued. 

I stood shocked, I couldn’t believe this was how they saw me, they couldn’t give me the money I needed for my mother’s illness but I could sacrifice my kidney for his dying sister. And what Tia?

 I thought he said Tia was a business partner, he was going to marry her not me. 

“Well, I want to take things slowly Mother before she suspects that she was simply used and thrown away.” My fiancée said. 

Tears welled in my eyes, blurring the world around me.

His mother's cruelty echoed in my mind, contrasting sharply with the promises of love Theo had whispered in my ear countless times.

How could he stand there, listening to his mother's cruel words, and not defend the woman he claimed to love? Did he say I was “simply used and thrown away”? 

“We can just send a few amounts to her so it doesn’t look like she was given nothing for her donation.

Your father and I helped her family when their business was failing and you have been taking care of her, they owe us too. so that much is enough” his mother said. 

His mother's words cut through the haze of my despair, the callousness of her suggestion sending a chill down my spine.

 It was as if my sacrifice, my act of love, was nothing more than a transaction to be balanced with a token amount of money. 

Anger simmered beneath the surface of my numbness as I listened to her speak, the injustice of her proposal burning like a fire in my chest.

How could she reduce something so deeply personal, so profoundly selfless, to a mere financial transaction? 

So I couldn't have believed that I hoped to join this family. I was looking back at the decision, realizing it was a terrible mistake.

Turning to leave with the last word she just said, the weight of Theo’s betrayal was now very clear and heavy on my shoulder.

Every step felt like trudging through quicksand, heaviness in my chest threatening to suffocate me. All the years together, all the dreams we shared, now shattered like glass at my feet! Theo played me, fooled me. 

“Hey! Look where you are going. This is a hospital!” A boy who I just stumbled into "yelled” His voice broke through the fog of thoughts. Reality crashed back in; the pain of Theo's betrayal cut deeper with each passing moment! How can I be so blind?

How can I love someone who never truly loved me back?
