In the third year of my marriage to Emerson.
I discovered a modified organ donation agreement hidden in a secret compartment of the study.
The name of the recipient had been changed from my mother's to Melody's.
Years ago, when my mother was on the brink of death from heart disease, we had finally found a matching donor.
But seconds before the surgery, we were told the donation was canceled.
My mother passed away in the end, and it was Emerson who helped me through the devastating grief.
Melody, Emerson's half-sister.
"Dear Melody, I've finally found a suitable heart for you, even though I had to steal it from someone else. But I'd do anything, even compromise my conscience, if it means keeping you alive."
"I'll marry Zoran and spend the rest of my life atoning for this. You don't need to feel guilty, just live happily."
"Dear Melody, it's been three years since I married Zoran, but I still love you."
999 letters were stored with the agreement, each word brimming with Emerson's unspoken love.
It turns out, the marriage I was so proud of was nothing but a complete sham.And so, I agreed to the hospital's overseas assignment.

My Husband Stole My Mother's Heart for His First Love

Time had passed - an entire month - but to Emerson, it felt like a year.


He hadn't been able to find me, as if I had completely evaporated from his life.


Every day, he went through the motions like a zombie, countless times dreaming of my silhouette, countless times jolting awake from those dreams, left with nothing but an empty bed and the silence of his room.


Finally, at Melody's wedding, he received a message from his assistant:


"Mr. Carlisle, we've located your wife. She's on an overseas assignment in South Africa."


Those few short sentences made Cian's heart race so fast he could barely breathe.


He stood up, and not long after he left, Melody came chasing after him.


Tears in her eyes, her voice choked up: "Brother, it's my wedding day. You can't leave."


Emerson's gaze didn't linger on her face for long. He said urgently in a low voice, "I have an emergency. I have to go."
