My knees went weak. For the first time in days, hope felt real, tangible. Not just wishful thinking or desperate prayers, but actual

scientific evidence that my son might survive.

“Let me see, I demanded, reaching for the papers Jack was waving. My hands trembled so badly I could barely hold them.

“The compatibility is excellent,” Dr. Hall explained as I tried to focus on the numbers swimming before my eyes. “It’s not just a basic match it’s optimal. This gives William the best possible chance.”

I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the tears blurring my vision. The medical jargon and data charts merged into an incomprehensible mess. It didn’t matter. The only important thing was that it matched. William had a chance.

“When can we do the procedure?” Blake asked, his voice tight.

“We need a month to prepare both patients, Dr. Hall replied. “William needs pre-treatment and Victoria requires some preparation too. We can schedule the procedure for next month if all goes well.”

One month. At least now we had a timeline and a concrete plan to save my son.

‘I should thank Victoria,” I said, wiping my eyes. “Where is she?”

The elevator dinged open. Victoria walked out with a slight limp, helped by a nurse. She wasn’t the well-dressed socialite I remembered. This Victoria looked weaker, almost fragile, but her eyes still had that Morgan family pride.

“Well, well, she announced loudly. “I never thought I’d see the day when I’d become my own nephew’s lifesaver.”

The nurse helped her to a nearby chair. Victoria settled into it with that aristocratic posture the Morgans were known for, despite her

obvious discomfort.

“Victoria, Blake acknowledged with a slight nod. “Thank you for coming.”

“Don’t thank me yet, brother dear,” Victoria replied. “We haven’t discussed my terms.”

And there it was. The real Victoria, emerging from behind the mask of familial concern. I wanted to slap that smug expression right off

her face.

“Terms?” Blake’s voice dropped several degrees.

“Did you really think I’d donate my bone marrow without getting anything in return?” Victoria laughed, a brittle sound devoid of humor. “After you locked me in that storage room? After you broke my arms and legs?”

This is about William’s life, I interjected, struggling to keep my voice level. My son was fighting for his life, and she was treating it as a

business opportunity.

“Exactly, Victoria smiled thinly at me. “And what would you give to save your son’s life, Aria? What would Blake sacrifice for his heir?”

Blake moved forward, his expression hardening. “Name your price.”

“No!” I grabbed his arm. “You can’t just agree to whatever she wants.”

Blake turned to me, his eyes conflicted. ‘If it saves William-

“She’ll take everything if you give her the chance,” I hissed. “We can support her financially, but that’s it.”

Victoria’s eyes narrowed. “I want my family name back. My position in the Morgan family. My credit card with full limits. And a public

apology from Blake.”

“No,” I said.

“Then your son can find another donor.” Victoria shrugged, examining her nails. “Good luck. The doctor said the match was perfect. What are the chances you’ll find another one in time?”

My blood boiled. Using my child’s life as leverage? I hated her.

“You’re Henderson’s bastard daughter,” I snapped. “You have no claim to the Morgan name.”

Victoria’s face twisted with rage. She pushed away the nurse trying to help her stand. “You lying bitch! Elizabeth is my mother!”

“No. Henderson had an affair. You were the result. Elizabeth raised you after your father switched her real daughter, but you’re not a true

Morgan.”

Victoria went pale. “You think you’re so smart? The housekeeper’s daughter who crawled into Blake’s bed? Well, your son’s life is in my hands now. How does that feel?”

Her words stung, but I wouldn’t break. Not with William’s life at stake.

“Thirty percent,” I said suddenly.

“What?”

“Thirty percent of Nouvelle Retail Group. Complete the donation, and I’ll sign it over to you.”

Blake stared at me in shock. “Aria, no. That’s worth-
