"sign" he said coldly "But i have to tell you somethi-" he cut you off with a cold stare "sign it first" Your eyes dropped to the document, and your blood ran cold Bone marrow donation consent Recipient: Clara Valdez His mistress. Your fingers trembled as you slowly looked up at him. “ this…this can’t be real”

“She needs a donor,” he said simply. “You’re compatible.”Your heart pounded loudly in your chest. “You want me to donate my bone marrow… to her?” your voice shook. “Yes.”The single word shattered what little composure you had left. You stepped back shaking your head repeatedly “No… no please. Don’t do this.”He leaned against the desk, watching you without emotion. “I’ve already arranged the surgery.” Your legs felt weak.“Please,” you whispered, tears starting to fall. “She’s your mistress… and I’m your wife.”You moved closer to him, desperation filling your voice.“Please cancel it.

Your hands shook as you stared at the pen on the desk.“Sign the papers,” he finished.“And your brother lives.” Tears blurred your vision.

His eyes snapped up."But what?"..."I regret to inform you that the procedure had more of an impact on her baby than we anticipated." His voice came out low."What baby?" The doctor just stared at him confused "uhm... don't you know sir?" The words barely registered before reality crashed in. His child.
