After my family went bankrupt, my parents died in a crash, and my brother, Lucas Larson, had a heart attack. I begged my fiancé, Ethan Sawyer, for a loan to help fund Lucas's transplant. Instead, he publicly called off our engagement and married Rachel Summers. In my deepest despair, Michael Grant proposed. He had his family's private hospital provide top surgeons for my brother. I was moved to tears, praying only for the surgery's success. But after the transplant, Lucas rejected the new heart and died. Michael married me, vowing to love me forever and be my new family. Three years later, I overheard him and a doctor. The doctor said, "Mr. Grant, what if your wife finds out you diverted her brother's matching donor heart to Ms. Summers's brother three years ago? That's intentional harm." Michael replied, "Should I have let Rachel grieve instead? I'd do anything for her. "As for Wendy, I promised to be her family. That's my compensation." Tears blurred my vision. His years of kindness were built on a lie and compensation. And his compensation even hid another purpose.
