Romance

Gave Him My Eyes Gave Him Hell

by Silk & Feathers

On the way to an art exhibition, I get into a devastating car accident. My face is covered in blood as my husband, Benedict Stiles, frantically tears through the wreckage. He pulls me free and rushes me into emergency surgery.As the anesthesia begins to take effect, I vaguely hear his voice."Doctor, she's already unconscious and badly injured. Remove her corneas and transplant them into Melanie right now. Her world tour's kicking off next month. She can't afford to lose her sight!""But your wife is an artist, too," the doctor says in a trembling voice. "If she goes blind, it'll destroy her!"Benedict's tone leaves no room for discussion."Melanie took a knife for me years ago. I owe her my life, and I'm going to repay that debt. "Once my wife loses her sight, I'll transfer all the shares I own to her and make sure she's taken care of for the rest of her life. I'll be her eyes. But Melanie needs her sight back immediately."I tell myself that I must be dreaming. But when I wake up, my entire world is pitch-black.The sheer absurdity of what he's done overwhelms me, along with despair.So when Benedict books an entire private island and prepares to renew his vows to me beneath a sky filled with fireworks, I don't hesitate to set the whole island on fire.
