I Gave Him My Heart, and He Took My Fiancé’s LifeChapter 1

Five years had already slipped by since the day my fiancé, Adrian, died in a tragic accident. He wasn’t only the man I loved for the first time—he was also my personal bodyguard. He had promised, again and again, that nothing would ever harm me. Yet in the end, he was the one who disappeared, leaving me behind with nothing but grief.

Still, his death did not end in complete emptiness. Adrian’s family chose to donate his heart, refusing to let it be buried along with him. The recipient was Dominic Blackwood—the only heir of an influential family, and Adrian’s longtime friend.

It felt cruel and comforting all at once.

Knowing that Adrian’s heart continued to beat inside another man’s chest became the reason I agreed when Dominic asked me to move in with him. There was no engagement, no vows, no white dress waiting at the end of a chapel aisle. Only quiet words meant to soothe two broken people.

“Stay,” he told me back then. “Even without marriage. Stay with me. That way… you’ll still be close to his heart.”

So I said yes.
