Love's Sweetest Surprise: From Brokenhearted To Billionaire's Wife

"Brodie, have you completely lost it? What gave you the right to go behind Bethany's back and donate her bone marrow to Karen without her knowing?"

At VitaCore Hospital, Leyla Wilson burst into the exclusive suite, jabbing her finger at her younger brother, Brodie Wilson, as she unloaded her anger.

Bethany Wilson had just reached the door with her medicine in hand when she caught the sound of her husband and Leyla locked in a heated argument.

"I didn't have any other option, Leyla." Brodie's tone was so steady it almost sounded heartless. "Karen was on the verge of dying. Bethany's bone marrow was her only hope."

Those words sent a wave of cold dread washing over Bethany.

Karen? Karen Jenkins? That was Brodie's first love! She came back?!

The so‑called pre‑pregnancy screening Brodie insisted on—saying it was necessary for their future IVF plans—had been nothing but a fabricated excuse from the very beginning?!

He'd gone so far as to create an elaborate lie to get her to agree to a bone marrow extraction so that he could donate the marrow to Karen?!

Leyla snapped, "She hasn't been in good health for a while now, and even had a high fever for several days in a row. That was all because she was forced to give up her bone marrow, wasn't it?"

Her voice rang with disbelief and outrage. "Has Karen brainwashed you or something? You nearly died for her once before and spent five years confined to a bed. Bethany was the one who never left your side during all of that. Now that you're healthy, you'd seriously put your own wife's life at risk, all over Karen?"

"That's enough." Brodie cut her off, his voice flat. "The procedure went off without a hitch. Bethany's recovered, so there's no point dragging this out. Karen's only just gotten better, and bringing all this up will only stress her out."

Leyla snapped back, "So what about Bethany? Does she even matter to you at all?"

Leaning back against the cold hallway wall, Bethany felt as if her veins had turned to ice. A wave of sickness threatened to overwhelm her.

She still remembered the first time she saw Brodie, and she'd fallen for him in an instant at twenty years old.

Five years ago, Brodie was ambushed by enemies because of Karen and was left hanging by a thread.

Bethany hadn't thought twice before throwing herself between Brodie and those thugs, taking three knife wounds meant for him.

When she was rescued, she was covered in wounds.

On the day she was allowed to leave the hospital, Brodie clung to her, his face streaked with tears, swearing he would cherish her forever.

Since their wedding, he had been the kind of husband everyone envied—kind, patient, devoted.

She had always believed she was the happiest woman in the world.

Yet she never expected that her place in his heart was far inferior to that of his first love!

Inside the room, the
