I was forced onto the operating table by the family I trusted to take my kidney for their real daughter. I had no way to fight back and could only wait for death. But when the billionaire surgeon saw the scar on my shoulder, he stopped the operation… and what he did to the family who owned me shook the entire hospital.
The Slave and the Spare Body Part
My name is Maya. I am twenty years old. I was adopted by the wealthy Imperial family when I was only five. At first, I thought I was lucky to have a better life. But I was wrong. They only took me in to become a servant and a punching bag for their real daughter—Beatrice.
Beatrice was my age, but she had a terrible personality. Every day, she humiliated me.
“Remember this, Maya—you’re just trash we picked up! You only live because we feed you!” my adoptive mother, Doña Carmen, would always shout at me.
Then one day, Beatrice fell gravely ill. Both of her kidneys failed. She needed an urgent transplant. When none of their relatives matched, they tested me.
My kidney was a match.
“Sign this waiver, Maya!” Doña Carmen ordered, gripping my hair tightly. “You will give your kidney to my daughter! If not, I’ll have you killed and thrown into the river! You owe us your life!”
I had no choice. Crying, I signed it. That was when I realized—this was the end for me. I was nothing but a spare body part for their daughter.
The Billionaire Surgeon
We were rushed to Valderama Medical City, the most exclusive and expensive hospital in the country. Because of their wealth, the Imperials hired the best surgeon in Asia—Dr. Gabriel Valderama.
Dr. Gabriel was twenty-eight years old. Not only a genius doctor, but also a billionaire CEO and the owner of the entire hospital. He was known for being cold, serious, and fearless.
As I lay on the cold operating table, I silently cried. The anesthesia was slowly taking effect. Outside, Doña Carmen and Don Arturo were smiling, waiting for my kidney to be transferred to Beatrice, who was in another operating room.
Dr. Gabriel entered my OR wearing his surgical gown and mask.
“Prepare the patient. Prepare the incision area,” he ordered coldly.
A nurse carefully adjusted my hospital gown to clean my back and shoulder.
When the surgical light illuminated my body, Dr. Gabriel froze. His eyes locked onto my right shoulder.
There was a unique scar and a birthmark shaped like a crescent moon with a small star.
The scalpel fell from his hand.
Clang!
The Truth Echoes
“Doctor? Is there a problem?” the head nurse asked in confusion.
Dr. Gabriel’s eyes widened. His hands trembled. He removed his mask and stared closely at my face.
“I-Impossible…” he whispered hoarsely. “That scar… I made that when we were children…”
Tears fell from the feared billionaire.
