He Married Me as a Bet

The day before our wedding, Mason suddenly demanded I buy him a Mercedes.

He looked utterly helpless. "You're pregnant and can't work. Buying a new car is just for my job, and to make it easier to take care of you and the baby."

To help me, my mom used all her life savings.

But three months after we got married, Mom was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

I begged Mason for help, but he refused.

"You're already asking me for money right after getting married!" he said. "You think having my child gives you leverage over me? Honestly, I'm not short on women who'd have my kids!"
