His Love Was a Test I Could Never Pass

The day I hit six months pregnant, my father was diagnosed with kidney failure.

The doctor said if we wanted to save his life, we needed to come up with $300,000 first.

I clutched the payment slip, hesitating for a long while before I finally dialed Otto Gilbert's number.

"Otto, could you lend me $300,000 for now?"

"My dad's sick. The doctor says it's dangerous to keep putting it off."

There was impatience in Otto's voice.

"Deidre Fox, that family of yours is a bottomless pit."

"Marrying you was already the luckiest thing that ever happened to all of you."
