I Married a Tech Tycoon After Losing a Bet, Now My Ex-Husband Regrets Choosing His First Love

After returning from abroad, my husband, who had always treated me with indifference, suddenly asked me to stay with him for three days and three nights.

A month after that, I found out I was pregnant with his child.

I stumbled in excitement, barely able to contain my joy.

However, without even running any medical tests, my husband insisted there was something wrong with the baby and said it had to be aborted.

I begged him to wait and said, "Let’s wait until the baby grows a little more before doing another checkup. This is your child, so please don’t just abort him like this."

He pushed me into the operating room without hesitation. "How can we keep an unhealthy child?" he snapped. "Do you want the baby to suffer his whole life?"

Just as the anesthetic was being injected, I heard the doctor whisper in confusion, "There’s clearly nothing wrong with the baby. Why do you want to abort it?"

"Clarissa was assaulted and discovered she was pregnant while filming overseas. The media has been watching her for a long time, just waiting for a scandal to break. She’s already on antidepressants and just yesterday, she nearly tried to jump off a building. I feel terrible for her."

"You mean... you want to pin this on your wife?"

"They look very similar and they’ve both been to the same country. It should be enough to fool everyone."

The doctor was shocked. "So you're letting your wife take the fall?"

He was silent for a long time before speaking. "I know this is unfair to her... I’ll make it up to her in the future."

I felt everything inside me crumble.

When I woke up, I immediately dialed a number. "I admit my defeat. So, I promise you, I’ll marry your son."

——

"I told you a long time ago that he was never the one who truly loved you."

"Why did you have to throw yourself into the fire and burn yourself to pieces before you believed it?"

The voice on the other end hit me like a slap. It turned out that what had always been so clear to everyone else… I was the only one who could not see it.

I had been married to him for five years. For five years, he treated me like I did not matter.

Then, one day, out of nowhere, he suddenly wanted me desperately. I thought for a brief moment that maybe he had finally accepted me.

When I found out I was pregnant a month later, I broke down in tears.

I finally had his child.

Would he love me more now?

I could not wait to tell him the news, my heart full of hope, but all I got in return was his cold, heartless reply. "Abort it."

I froze as if struck by lightning. "Why?"

"You fell a few days ago. It could’ve affected the baby."

Yes, but I only twisted my ankle. It was not serious.

However, he would not listen and insisted the baby was no longer healthy and must be aborted.

I begged him with all I had left, "Please, let's just wait a little longer. Let’s check again when the baby’s a bit older. Don’t do this now."

This was the child I had prayed for so long.

"Please…"

There was a flash of pity in his eyes, but even so, he still resolutely pushed me into the operating room for the abortion.

I wanted to resist, to struggle, but in the next moment, the anesthetic had already begun to take effect.

In a haze, half-awake, I vaguely heard the doctor say, "There’s clearly nothing wrong with the baby. Why do you want to abort it?"

"Clarissa was assaulted and discovered she was pregnant while filming overseas. The media has been watching her for a long time, just waiting for a scandal to break. She’s already on antidepressants and just yesterday, she nearly tried to jump off a building. I feel terrible for her."

"You mean... you want to pin this on your wife?"

"They look very similar and they’ve both been to the same country. It should be enough to fool everyone."

The doctor was shocked. "So you're letting your wife take the fall?"

He was silent for a long time before speaking. "I know this is unfair to her... I’ll make it up to her in the future."

The moment I heard the truth, my heart shattered completely.

So this was the reason he had wanted me so desperately that day. He was never thinking of me. It was all just part of a plan for the woman he truly loved.

After the forced abortion, even though I did not die, it felt like I had lost half of my life.
