When Yasmin Smith comes to the courthouse to pick me up from work, she suddenly hands me a copy of her marriage certificate. "To tell you the truth, our marriage certificate is forged. I was just messing with you when I told you that I wanted to remarry you." Before I can register the news, Yasmin produces a brand new—and certified—copy of her other marriage certificate. She's already smiling bashfully. "Last night, Zach embraced me and kissed me throughout the night. It felt so good that I couldn't resist him at all. So, we ended up getting our marriage registered for real." I feel nothing but chills seeping through my pores thanks to Yasmin's second betrayal. As I stare at her in disbelief, I feel my voice starting to quiver. "Why?" "Because you're dumb." Yasmin chuckles lightly as she taps a finger on my face, which is starting to go pale. "Previously, it took you three years to find out about my affair with Zach. That's why I made another bet with him to see how long it'd take you to realize that I'm cheating on you again." My gaze lands on the hickey decorating her neck, which has yet to fade away. Then, she shrugs at me. "Zach thought that it'd take you one year. That's why I slipped up many times purposefully over the year. But I've already grown tired of acting, and yet you never picked up a single clue. "Today is the last day of the bet. I want Zach to win, so I have no choice but to come clean to you."

My wife, Kate Barker, who has insisted on maintaining a sexless marriage, is pregnant. She prints out a thousand copies of her pregnancy reports and proudly announces to everyone that she's pregnant with someone else's child. Apparently, Kate has made a bet with her best friends to see if I'll cause a huge ruckus over the announcement. "Back when Neil wanted to marry you, he sank down to his knees in front of your mom. He even paused to kneel with every step he took from one end of the street to the other! Everyone was watching him, too! "If he finds out that you're pregnant, he'll definitely go ballistic!" Kate just frowns in disgust. "I don't even have a proper marriage certificate with him, so there's no way we're husband and wife! All he does is wag his tail and act pitiful in front of my mom! If it wasn't for him, I'd have regained my freedom a long time ago!" She's worried that I might get revenge on her unborn baby's biological father, so she orders her bodyguards to break one of my legs and lock me up in the basement for one week straight. By the time I get released, Kate has already married another man overseas. This time, I no longer cling to this relationship. Instead, I inform my mother-in-law, Margaret Gibbs, calmly, "I've lost the five-year bet, Margaret. I will honor my end of the bargain and vanish from everyone's lives forever."
