Everyone knew that Lucas Ryan only married me out of spite because he couldn't have the one he truly loved.
For five years of marriage, he was the perfect husband in public—a renowned cardiologist adored by many. But behind closed doors, he was cold, distant, and had asked for a divorce more times than I could count.
Then his first love, Evelyn Snow, returned to the country due to illness. Lucas devoted himself to her care, never leaving her side. He even warned me repeatedly: "Eve's heart condition is delicate. If you dare show up and stress her out, we're done for good."
Finally, during his hundredth demand for a divorce, I agreed.
What Lucas didn't know, however, was that I was already carrying his child.
On the way to the courthouse to finalize the divorce, I was in a car accident. Both my life and my unborn child were lost in an instant.
Lucas didn't get the divorce papers that day, but he did get the news that Evelyn had found a perfect heart donor match.
Excited, he rushed back to the hospital and performed the surgery himself, taking the heart from my lifeless body and placing it into hers.
It wasn't until later that he remembered our divorce—but by then, my phone would never ring again.

My Husband Gave My Heart to His First Love

Eventually, Lucas Ryan's overwhelming emotions caught up to him, and he passed out.


I followed him to his hospital room, settling on the couch in the corner as I silently watched him. To my surprise, I felt a strange sense of satisfaction.


When the accident first happened, I had desperately hoped he would realize something was wrong, that he'd find me and bring me home. But after witnessing him cut my heart out of my body and transplant it into Evelyn Snow's, and later watching his indifference to my disappearance, something inside me had crumbled.


For the first time, I understood what it meant to feel truly dead inside.


They say even a dog would grow attached to its owner after being cared for long enough, but Lucas Ryan? He was as cold as stone.


Then again, why would he show me any affection when he didn't love me to begin with?
