The Man Who Donated a Kidney to Me Proposed a Month Later, Claiming He Was Terminally Ill and Didn't Want to Pass Alone – But Right After We Said 'I Do,' He Took My Hand and Whispered, 'Now I Can Finally Tell You the Truth'

    "You used our wedding to force an introduction."

"No. I married you because I love you."

"But you used our wedding to force an introduction."

Nathan didn't answer.

That was enough.

I walked out through the side door while guests were still drinking champagne. Nathan followed me into the parking lot.

    "Please don't leave like this."

I turned around.

    "Sophie isn't ready."

"Stay."

"What?"

    "Stay here. For once, don't decide what happens next."

He stopped.

I held out my hand. "Give me her grandmother's address."

His face tightened. "Sophie isn't ready."

"You have made too many decisions for other people."

    Sophie's grandmother lived twenty minutes away.

"She could hate you."

"Maybe. But she gets to decide that—not you."

He looked at me for a long moment, then unlocked his phone.

Sophie's grandmother lived twenty minutes away.

I drove there in my wedding dress with the seatbelt digging into my ribs.
