The Sponsored Students Baby Trap But My Husband Is an AndroidChapter 1
I had sponsored a girl from poverty for three years. When she mentioned wanting a summer job, I pulled a few strings to get her an internship at my husband's company.
I never expected that a few months later, she would barge into my office, cradling a visible baby bump, and interrogate me through her tears.
"I knew it all along! You didn't sponsor me out of kindness!" she wailed. "Now that I'm pregnant with Mr. Sawyer's child, he's suddenly vanished. Did you hide him?"
Her brother looked even more ferocious, jabbing a finger in my face. "If it weren't for your fake charity, my sister never would have met that bastard! He got her pregnant and thinks he can just run away? No chance!"
He slammed his hand on my desk. "Either pay up, or divorce him and let my sister be Mrs. Sawyer. You choose!"
The scandal spread like wildfire. Online, a chorus of insults erupted. Everyone accused me of being a pimp, using my charity work as a front to procure mistresses for my husband.
I almost laughed out loud.
If this girl really was pregnant with my husband's child, I'd need to apply for a scientific patent immediately.

Red ink bled across the student essay beneath my pen when my office door crashed open.
"You! Matthews! Where is your husband? Did you hide him?"
Alex Donaldson stormed in, murder written across his face. "He knocked up my sister and wants to bail? Keep dreaming!"
Georgia Donaldson stood behind him, hands cradling her stomach like a shield. Her eyes were swollen, ringed with red. Beside her, another girl held up a phone—the red recording light blinking.
Livestreaming.
I set down my pen. "Georgia? Why are you here?"
Her voice cracked with performative sobs. "Ms. Matthews, I really have no other choice. Mr. Sawyer has cut off all contact. I can't find him anywhere…" She sniffled. "And the doctor said my constitution is too weak—I can't have an abortion…"
I leaned back, studying her. The trembling lip. The downcast eyes that wouldn't quite meet mine.
"So? You came here today demanding what, exactly?"
Alex sneered. "Two options! Either Sawyer marries my sister, or you pay up! My sister is a top student at a prestigious university—she was completely ruined by that beast of a husband of yours!"
