Chapter 9

Three days later, the matching results were released.

The bad news was that all the members of the Jenner family did not meet the requirements. The good news was that a matching kidney source was found, and the other person had agreed to donate.

After learning this news, Celine called Harry, but he did not answer. She knew he must have been tirelessly searching for a suitable kidney source all over the world these days, so she went to the company headquarters herself.

As soon as she reached the office entrance, she heard several urgent voices inside.

"Harry, are you really going to donate a kidney to Juniper? You're now married to her niece, and Celine is pregnant with your child. You should let go of the past and cherish the present."

"Yeah, Juniper doesn't deserve all this from you. Have you considered the side effects after donating a kidney? Can't you think about Celine and the child about to be born?"

'Is it Harry who's donating a kidney to Juniper?' Celine's mind went blank for a moment, and she was almost unable to recover.

"No need to persuade me anymore. I'll donate this kidney. Not just one kidney, I'm even willing to donate my heart as long as it can save Juniper. As for Celine, she won't know about this. You need to keep it a secret and say that I went to Euronia for a project."

Celine's hand, which was about to knock on the door, gradually drooped.

'Harry, you… You're such a romantic. Don't worry, I'll completely back off. I wish you both a long and happy life together!' After thinking that, she took a deep breath and silently turned around to leave.

…

After getting home, she booked a flight to Aussen.

The next day, she woke up early because her divorce from Harry would finally be processed today.

She took a cab to the Civil Affairs Bureau, quickly retrieved her divorce certificate, and bought a gift box, placing the divorce certificate and the abortion surgery notice inside. Then, carrying the gift box and dragging her suitcase, she went to the hospital.

As soon as she arrived outside the VIP ward, she saw Harry looking at Juniper through the window. His eyes held complex emotions—joy, tears, pain, and endless love.

Celine stood behind him, staring at him for a long time before calling out hoarsely, "When does the surgery start?"

Harry turned around, and all the emotions on his face vanished when he saw that it was her. Only a gentle smile remained, and it was almost identical to his usual expression.

"The doctor said it would be in three hours, but I have to go on a business trip and won't be back for about a month. Celine, I'm sorry I can't be with you during this time."

This time, Celine still did not expose his lie. She calmly replied, "It's okay. I'll get used to it."

"Get used to what?" Harry found her words weird and could not help but ask again.

Instead of replying, Celine thought to herself, 'I'll get used to you not loving me, to you ignoring me, and to a life without you.'

Before she could speak, the doctor called.

Harry answered the phone and headed for the elevator. Celine stopped him and handed him the box. "Your birthday is in two weeks. This is your birthday present."

Harry did not open it but casually handed it to his assistant. "I'll open it on my birthday."

Celine said nothing but watched him walk away. Then, she turned away too.

While he was wheeled into the operating room to donate a kidney to Juniper, she went to the airport with her suitcase.

While he was under anesthesia and the surgery was about to begin, she waited to board her flight, deleting and clearing all her social media accounts, SIM card, and photo album.

While his surgery ended, her plane slowly took off.

Looking at the white clouds outside the window, she slowly smiled and thought, 'Harry, we'll be far apart from now on, never to meet again.'

Contract With A Monster: The Heiress's Revenge Novel Cover

It was my birthday, but instead of celebrating, I was bleeding on the floor of my own bedroom. My sister Serena had just smashed a champagne bottle over my legs, her eyes filled with a dark madness because our father allowed me to wear the family diamonds. To escape her, I bolted into a pitch-black guest suite, only to be grabbed by a man who felt like a wall of solid muscle. He was drugged, unstable, and pinned me against the wall, his teeth sinking into my neck in a primal claim that left a permanent mark. I managed to flee, but the nightmare was just beginning. My father didn't care about my injuries; he only cared that I had "insulted" the man in that room—Delos French, the most powerful CEO in New York. He threatened to stop paying for my mother’s critical care facility unless I went to Delos and begged for his forgiveness. My brother Julian was even worse, intentionally pouring scalding coffee over my bandaged wounds just to see me flinch. They forced me into a revealing gold dress, treating me like a high-priced commodity to be sold to the highest bidder to save their failing company. I didn't understand how the people who were supposed to love me could be more predatory than the monster in the dark. I had spent my life fixing their scandals, yet they were ready to throw me to the wolves the moment I became useful as a pawn. But when I stood before Delos French at his gala, he didn't see a trophy. He recognized my scent, my touch, and the fire in my eyes. He trapped me in his private lounge, kneeling to clean the blood from my injured feet. "Marry me," he whispered, his voice a low, terrifying growl. "And I will give you the power to burn your family to the ground." I looked into the eyes of the man who had hunted me and realized he was the only one offering me a weapon to destroy the people who had broken me. "Okay," I whispered.
