Chapter 2

I realized I had left something at the house I once shared with Rowen, so I asked the driver to drop me off downstairs. As soon as I stepped out of the car, ready to head straight to the elevator, someone grabbed me from behind.

Rowen clasped my wrist, pulling me into the stairwell, his eyes intense. "Whose car did you just get out of?" he demanded.

"A Lamborghini Aventador. Wrenley's right—you really are just a gold digger," he sneered.

I wrenched my hand free from his grip and slapped him hard across the face. Rowen looked stunned. "You hit me?"

I felt a sense of satisfaction. If it weren't for my years of judo practice, he might have tried hitting me back by now. Ever since the early days of his startup, when he had nothing, to his modest success now, I had been there every step of the way. Out of pride, I never spent a dime from my family.

During our toughest times, Rowen and I lived in a leaky apartment, with the only dry spot being near the door. We pushed the bed over there, cramped together on a single bed, shivering. Those days were physically tough but filled with a sense of happiness.

Anyone else could call me materialistic, but not Rowen. Anyone but him.

Under my unwavering gaze, Rowen looked uneasy, trying to placate me by lifting my hand to his cheek. "Baby, feel it, you really hurt me."

His eyes were pleading, his hand gently resting on my stomach. "Don’t be mad, you're still pregnant," he reminded me, watching my reaction.

"When are we setting the wedding date?" he asked cautiously.

I pulled my hand away. "There won't be one."

Spare Part Wife: Liver For His Mistress Novel Cover
7.0
I wore my favorite emerald silk dress to Per Se, thinking our third anniversary would finally be the night Darius came back to me. My heart was pounding with hope, but the moment he covered the rim of my champagne glass with a cold, marble-like hand, that hope died. He didn't bring a gift; he brought a personal assistant and a medical consent form. His ex-girlfriend, Hazel, was dying of liver failure, and I was the only compatible match they had found in the world. The realization hit me like a physical blow: he hadn’t married me for love, but for a "harvest." When I screamed that I wasn't a spare part, he didn't even flinch. Instead, he threatened to pull the funding for my grandmother’s Alzheimer’s care, holding the only family I had left hostage to save his "one who got away." He locked me in our penthouse under a high-tech security protocol, guarded by private contractors like a prisoner in a gilded cage. While I was trapped, he was at the hospital holding Hazel’s hand, wearing the Patek Philippe watch I’d bought him for his birthday. I watched their updates on social media, Hazel tagging him as her "hero" and "true love," while I was left alone in the dark. Darius told his lawyers I was just being "dramatic" and that I’d get over it once the settlement check cleared. Every memory of our three years together felt like a long-term investment in an organ transplant. How could I have been so blind? How could the man who promised to cherish me turn into a monster who only saw me as a regenerating asset? I stopped fighting and started calculating. I agreed to the surgery on one condition: a signed divorce decree and an ironclad trust for my grandmother that he could never touch. I refused his millions, took back my maiden name, and walked into that hospital with my head held high. I was giving them the piece of me they wanted, but it was the last thing they would ever take. As the elevator doors closed on Darius's desperate face, I knew that when I woke up, I would finally be free.
