She Married My Stolen Credit Chapter 02
Author: South Twig
Piper frowned at the slip, trying to read the faded handwriting.
My stomach turned.
I didn’t want any more drama before I left, so I reached for it.
Elliot got there first.
“Piper, don’t look!”
He sounded nervous—but weirdly relieved.
Then he stomped on the paper.
“It’s just some useless receipt. It’s filthy.”
Before Piper could question him, he grabbed his chest and went ghost-white, sagging against her.
“Piper… my chest… I can’t breathe…”
Her focus snapped straight to him.
“Elliot? Don’t scare me!”
“Maybe… Marco startled me…”
He leaned into her, then shot me a smug look from the corner of his eye.
I let out a cold laugh.
Piper had always been like this.
The second her precious “savior” felt even a little sick, I stopped mattering.
The doctor sighed and went to check on Elliot.
I forced myself out of bed and stumbled toward the crumpled receipt.
My fingers almost reached it—
A polished high-heeled shoe slammed onto my hand.
Pain tore through me, and I doubled over.
Piper’s voice cut like ice.
“Marco, enough with your pathetic games. Stop begging for my attention. If anything happens to Elliot, I’ll make your life hell.”
Then she ground her heel down harder.
The pain was brutal.
“Piper…” I looked up at her, my voice ragged. “Did you ever think you might have the wrong guy? What if that kidney—”
“Shut up!”
Her face twisted as she pressed down harder.
“You still wanna argue? After everything Elliot went through? All the blood he lost?”
She glared down at me.
“Say one more word, and I’ll have you dragged out of this hospital.”
Then she helped Elliot toward the door.
Right before it slammed shut, he looked back with a cruel smile.
His lips formed two silent words.
‘You lost.’
The room went dead silent.
Just me and the filthy receipt.
I crawled over, every move agony, and picked it up with shaking hands.
The words Kidney Transplant stared back at me beside the date.
A brutal reminder of what I’d given up.
And Piper still didn’t believe me.
I crushed the receipt in my fist until my nails bit into my palm.
I hadn’t been given a second life to suffer all over again.
I’d come back to make them pay.
And Piper would answer for ripping out my ventilator tube.
I dragged myself to my feet and headed for the only person Elliot had never fooled.
The only one who could keep Piper in line.
I barely reached the door before it swung open.
Piper was back.
And she looked even angrier.
She stalked toward me with my phone in her hand, staring like she wanted me dead.
“Marco, you contacted Grandpa behind my back? What are you trying to pull?”
