Chapter 1 Christine Is Pregnant

Christine Smith had not expected herself to get pregnant so soon. Kevin Lee, her newly-married husband, would be even happier to learn the news.

She was too excited to stop pacing around the bedroom with the pregnancy test form in hand.

"You're pregnant? Whose kid is it?" Someone said to Christine mockingly and took the report away from her abruptly.

Whose kid was it? Christine was stunned. It was Lora Smith, her half-sister, who had snatched the form and put forward this question. How could she not know that this kid should belong to Christine and her husband?

Lora continued with a sneer, "Did you get conceived on the thirteenth of July at Star Capital Hotel?"

Christine was shocked at the words and asked curiously, "How do you know? Did Kevin tell you that?"

July 13th was indeed the day that Christine and Kevin had sex with each other for the first time. The Star Capital Hotel was Kevin's choice. When she entered the room, she found that the carpet was covered with flower petals. That night was extremely romantic and beautiful.

Lora beamed at Christine, "How do I know? Do you still think that the man you slept with that night was Kevin? Actually, it was another man that Kevin and I had arranged for you. After having the cup of tea that I had prepared for you, you behaved passionately about that man."

Christine became confused in mind.

How was that possible? She could not believe it.

"What I am saying is that the kid in your belly is not Kevin's. If you are so sad, let me help you get rid of it."

Lora forced Christine, who was shocked, to step forward and place her back against the wall. All of a sudden, the former grabbed the latter by her shoulders and pressed her body downward.

Then, Lora lifted her right leg to slam into Christine's belly with her knee.

Intuitively, Christine pushed Lora in pain, and the latter then fell to the ground.

"Lora, are you alright?" Kevin rushed into the room and crouched down on the floor to help Lora.

The man then rebuked, "Christine, what the hell are you doing? She is your sister!"

Christine stared at her husband. She was his wife, but instead of expressing his concern for her, he was actually helping Lora and blaming her.

"Christine is pregnant with another man's kid. She wants me to help her get rid of it, but I dare not." Lora said in a tearful voice.

With tears all over her face, she looked pitiful.

Kevin was stunned and then lifted his head to look at Christine, asking, "You're pregnant?"

Christine noticed the radiance of excitement in the man's eyes and instantly went cold as if she had been thrown into an icebox. "Kevin, what do you mean?"

Kevin's eyes twinkled. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "In fact, on the night of July 13th, it was Mr. Collins who was in the Room 3309 of Star Capital Hotel."

"Christine, I am now just the vice-general manager of a subsidiary of the Collins Group while Mr. Collins is in charge of the entire group. Your sleeping with him will make me become the general manager."

Christine's face was filled with despair, and the man in front of her looked so familiar and yet strange.

With trembling lips, she asked, "So, you and Lora teamed up and sent me to that man's bed that night?"

Kevin looked her in the eyes and nodded. "Christine, it's been three years since I graduated, but I'm only a vice president of a subsidiary of the Collins Group. Do you know how much I've been holding back over the years?"

Kevin then talked about how hard he had tried to get into the Collins Group before he even graduated and how tough the last three years had been to him.

When he noticed that Mr. Collins looked interested in Christine, he knew that here came his chance. Therefore, he decided to sacrifice Christine, a virgin, for his ambition.

In the end, he said, "Christine, to marry you, I've quarreled even with my parents and ignored many people's objection. For the sake of my career, why don't you give birth to Mr. Collins's baby?"
