All Chapters of Sponsoring a Student, Getting a Mistress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Two weeks ago, my husband, Henry Gibbons, packed his belongings and traveled to the mountains to deliver supplies to the woman he was sponsoring, Felicity Lambert."You have a weak constitution, and the roads are dangerous. You should just stay home."I believed him. I even gave him the 20,000 dollars that I had saved up for a year, so he could buy more supplies for Felicity, who was also his goddaughter.I had no idea that I was essentially paying for their condoms.My hands were shaking when I video-called Henry.The call rang for a long time before he finally picked up, his voice echoing from the pitch-black screen."Hello, honey? Did you need something?" Henry asked, sounding out of breath. "I just made it to the mountain. I'm so tired.""Where are you?""In the valley! The signal is terrible here. I had to climb up a tree to take your call. A snowstorm has blocked the roads. I definitely won't be able to make it back till after the New Year. Be sure to buy yourself someth

Henry was stunned by my slap. He stared at me while covering his cheek with his hand."Have you lost your mind?" he demanded. "How dare you raise your hand against me? I only did what I did for the sake of charity! To raise awareness for the students who are living in the mountains! You crazy, short-sighted wretch! Do you have any idea how much exposure Felicity's post will gain?""Exposure?" I asked with a scoff. "Do you really believe that you earned that exposure with your own hard work? Or did you gain that exposure by using the money that would save Mom's life?"Henry swallowed the rest of his words as he looked into my eyes."Fine. I'm not going to argue with you anymore. You're clearly not mentally stable right now. We'll talk about this again once you've calmed down."He then grabbed the sack of sweet potatoes and walnuts and retreated to his room, slamming the door with a loud bang.I stared at the door that was sealed shut.…It was extremely quiet in the house for th

The results were printed on the report."Name: Henry Gibbons.Diagnosis: Bilateral cryptorchidism and azoospermia (congenital infertility)."Chaos erupted in the hall.The guests were momentarily stunned when I lifted the report into the air, but it didn't take long for them to snap back to their senses, and for an uproar to ripple through the crowd.Camera flashes were going off endlessly.I didn't point the report directly at the camera lenses. Instead, I only showed the hospital's and Henry's names. I also used my bloodstained fingers to cover up the diagnosis that Henry had azoospermia.I wanted Henry to plummet from his pedestal when he was at the highest point. I didn't want to reveal such an earth-shattering revelation during such a small commotion.The security guards were at a loss for what to do.I tucked the report back into my bag before striding out of the hotel with a straightened back, pressing a hand to my injured forehead.…"Who gave you this nasty wound?"

After closing the door behind me, I walked down the hallway and turned the corner before stopping to put on my Bluetooth headset.Not only had I left the forged balance sheet in Felicity's ward, but I had also stuck a small listening device under a chair.I could hear Felicity hastily dialing someone's number through the headset."Hello? We're done for, Cole! That wrinkly, old man doesn't have any money. He's been lying to me this whole time! It's true! I've seen his company's balance sheet. He's hundreds of millions of dollars in debt! We should run away while we still can!"The child? Why the hell would I want to keep an illegitimate bastard? I'm going to get it aborted as soon as possible since I'm not too far along yet. Besides, it doesn't even belong to Henry. It'll just be a burden if I keep it."I immediately tapped the record button."Hurry and pick me up, Cole! We can take the jewelry and bags that we swindled from him in the past with us and leave tonight!"A man's voi

Cole was deeply wounded by Henry's vicious attack. Although he had survived, he would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life.Meanwhile, Felicity only suffered minor scrapes. But she had a miscarriage due to the immense stress she experienced. On top of that, she had also been jostled around during the incident.As for Henry, he was arrested on the spot for first-degree assault.However, the case wasn't over just yet.I had submitted a thick stack of evidence to the authorities that proved that Henry had committed tax evasion. He was also prosecuted for fraud and embezzlement of the charity's funds. As a result, he would be spending many years behind bars for his crimes.…A month had passed by the time I saw Henry again at the detention center. He was bald and dressed in a prisoner's uniform. He had lost an alarming amount of weight and no longer looked like himself. His eyes were also hazy and unfocused.Henry immediately threw himself against the glass and frantically
