Stars In The Snow

When he got back, Zach massaged the center of his brows because he was feeling tired.

He had accomplished a major task, but for some reason, he felt uneasy.

Then, as if he thought of something, he tapped on WhatsApp.

His finger hovered over our chat.

It still contained records of our argument.

One month ago, Zach suddenly said that he was willing to marry me.

Honestly, once I became an adult, we started sleeping together.

Over the years, Zach never admitted that I was his girlfriend. He only ever told the others that I was his sister, much less talked about marrying me.

But suddenly, he said that he was willing to marry me.

In retrospect, that was one of the few moments of happiness that I had ever had, but in the next second, he said something that completely destroyed that happiness.

“But on one condition: You have to donate a kidney to Catherine.”

Catherine Queen was the girl whom he loved for years.

I did not even know what I signed to Zach at that time, but when I was finally aware of what was going on around me, I found that I had already rejected his proposal.

Zach flew into a rage, and we got into a major argument.

“Stella Riverra, how could you be so selfish?!

“You’re the only match for Catherine, so just trust me! I’m the best nephrologist, I won’t let anything happen to you two.”

I signed to Zach that I did not want to donate my kidney.

But he shoved me away in disappointment.

“Stella, I’m disappointed in you. To you, you’re losing a kidney, but Catherine will be losing her life!

“You’re just as disgusting as your monster of a father! You should just die!”

Then, he turned away and left. No matter what I signed behind him, he never turned around to look, so he did not see what I signed.

[I’m sorry, Zach. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I only have one kidney left.]

Even though I felt utterly dejected because of what he had said, I still wanted to stay by his side while living and breathing until the day I died.

But as I thought about it at this moment, it would not have mattered even if Zach had known about it back then. He might not even have cared.

Right from the start, he hated me.

Because I had a hand in his mother’s death.
