Chapter 5

Author: Perfect Timing
Gianna gritted her teeth and said guiltily, "It's Mitchell's, actually."

I turned to Mitchell, whose eyes were filled with nothing but remorse and despair. I was utterly confused, finding it hard to believe that the child I was carrying actually belonged to him.

In my past life, Mitchell had been the one to smother me to death. I couldn't help but wonder if he was faking his remorse this time, or if his devotion was a complete lie back then.

Gianna continued, "I didn't realize that the harasser spiked your drink. You lost consciousness in the locker room, and then Mitchell went into the locker room to look for you. I never would have thought that he would lose control and do it with you, Rebecca."

Mitchell held his head, his voice filled with feigned agony. "I'm so sorry, Rebecca. I just completely lost my head at that moment!

"I honestly didn't plan on sleeping with you, but you were clinging to me, not letting me leave. I just… I got carried away…"

Mitchell suddenly dropped t

    Gianna held my hand, saying, "I'll no longer keep it from you since the truth is already out."She then told me everything—she was the child of an affair, and her mother, desperate to bear an heir to secure the family's inheritance, had taken massive doses of testosterone during pregnancy.In the end, she gave birth to Gianna, who was born intersex and couldn't have a child of her own. Gianna deeply longed to live as a girl despite her physical condition, which was why she sought to become my best friend.Her aging father—in his late 70s—was nearing his death. He had six daughters, yet he had no son. He was an extreme male chauvinist, and he publicly vowed that whoever bore his first grandson would be the sole inheritor of his vast fortune.It was only then that Gianna conceived her calculated scheme. She targeted me, her very best friend, and resolved to use me for her own gain.She tightened her grip on my hand after confessing everything, saying, "Please forgive me, Rebecca. If

  • A Swim Trip Ending With Swimmers in Me   Chapter 7

    I was utterly perplexed, wondering how the baby I was carrying wasn't Gianna's. I had foolishly believed that I had uncovered the whole truth, only for the actual truth to remain far out of reach. I collapsed right there onto the floor, feeling completely overwhelmed and drained.I suddenly heard a knock coming from the door, followed by Gianna's gentle voice. "Please open the door for me, Rebecca. I forgot to grab my keys earlier."I subconsciously hid the paternity result under the couch before opening the door for her.Mom burst through the doorway before Gianna could even step inside. She then immediately slapped Gianna across the face, yelling, "How could you be so shameless? What makes you think you can destroy Rebecca's relationship?"I was frozen in shock. Meanwhile, Gianna backed away, fending off the blows while saying, "Rebecca and I sincerely care for each other, Paige."Mom spat directly into her face. "Yeah, right! Your sincerity is nothing but a joke! You're clearly

    I extended an invitation to Gianna to join me for a trip to the hot springs the very next day to test my theory.Gianna came from a wealthy background and used to drag me along to visit every part of the country. She frequently took me to bars and amusement parks too. However, she had never taken me to the hot springs, so much so that we had never taken a shower in the presence of each other.In our region, it was common for close female friends to bathe together and scrub each other's backs. Yet, Gianna had always refused, citing her obsession with cleanliness. It also meant I had never seen her naked body before.Upon hearing my suggestion to go to a hot spring, Gianna's immediate response was a refusal. "You're pregnant right now, Rebecca. It's too risky for you to soak in a hot spring right now. You and I can just go once the baby is born.""I can't go to the hot springs, huh? I might as well just abort—""You win! You win! You always get your way! It's just a hot spring, so I

    Upon seeing me at a loss for words, Mitchell scoffed. "I was trying to spare your reputation, but now you've forced my hand. Who else on earth is going to marry you now besides me, huh? "What respectable man will marry a tramp who's already carrying someone else's baby? You should just accept your fate and marry me, Rebecca—and don't expect me to give you anything after we get married." Mitchell had completely discarded his facade of kindness, abandoning all pretense.Gianna bellowed, "What exactly do you mean by that? I'll make you pay for it if you dare slander Rebecca!"Mitchell retorted, his voice edged with impatience. "I haven't said anything wrong! Rebecca is clearly the one being promiscuous here."She was in a relationship with me and hooking up with other guys simultaneously. How else would you describe that, if not promiscuous?"Mom suddenly grabbed my arm and asked in a demanding tone, "Who exactly is the father of the child in your belly? Come on! Speak up, Rebecca

  • A Swim Trip Ending With Swimmers in Me   Chapter 3

    I recalled how Mitchell had previously suggested hooking up at a hotel back then, but he completely dropped the matter once I firmly turned him down.I couldn't help but place my hand on my lower abdomen, knowing full well that the baby didn't materialize magically. I couldn't help but wonder if it was really like what the doctor had suggested—that the man who assaulted me actually had a really small thing.I thought about it for a moment and decided to head to the public swimming pool again. After bribing the security guard, I managed to acquire the surveillance footage from last month. I could only track who went in and out since the locker area had no surveillance cameras.I reviewed all the footage and failed to spot a single suspicious individual. I grew disheartened, wondering if I had been wrong all along—that the pregnancy wasn't linked to that particular day. Gianna handed me a glass of hot chocolate and asked curiously, "I got rid of Mitchell, Rebecca. You can finally te
