Gaslit by Reality: My True Husband's Gone Chapter 9
Three months later, two red lines appeared on the pregnancy test. Jake was so happy that he reacted like a child, spinning me around the living room, only to remember that I was pregnant and carefully set me down."You're not dizzy, right?" he asked anxiously. "The baby's okay?"I laughed and nodded, warmth filling my chest.After the pregnancy, subtle changes began happening around me. The first change was my parents.Back when Jake and I insisted on staying childfree, they had been disappointed but helpless about it. Now, they were overjoyed. Mom had already started knitting tiny socks, while Dad became obsessed with researching baby stroller brands.Then came the changes among our friends.Rachel, the woman who had married Alex and had a child in my "nightmare", was still single in this reality. Apparently, she was now in an ambiguous romantic situation with Brandon.When she heard about my pregnancy, she dragged Brandon over to visit us. She handed me a beautifully wrapped g

Late at night, Brandon was fast asleep.I quietly got out of bed and went over to the restored wedding photo. In the picture, Brandon and I looked like the happiest couple, grinning from ear to ear.The background was the familiar studio setup of Genuinely Yours Studio—blue skies, white clouds, and rainbow balloons. It was the same backdrop I remembered from my wedding photos with Jake.I reached out and touched the glass of the frame. The surface was cold beneath my fingertips. If this photo were truly a connection point, what exactly should I do?Meditate? Make a wish? Wait for some specific condition to activate it?I slowly closed my eyes and began to picture Jake in my mind.The slight crease in his brow whenever he was deep in thought, those dark brown eyes that always looked so laser-focused whenever he stared at me…I remembered the warmth of his hands, the faint soap-like scent lingering on him, and the gentle way he called me "babe".I remembered his sweaty palms on o

Once that thought formed, it wrapped itself around my mind like a creeping vine.Jake once joked that he was a time traveler. It was during a college astronomy club event. We were watching a rare phenomenon where seven planets aligned.He had pointed at the sky and said, "If I disappear out of the blue one day, don't be surprised. I might've gone back to become a king."I had laughed at him for reading too many sci-fi novels. But… what if it hadn't been a joke? What if he really was a time traveler, someone who had accidentally stumbled upon my timeline?I opened my laptop again and searched for the exact date when the seven planets aligned. The records showed the most recent one happened 23 years ago. The next one wouldn't occur for another few centuries.23 years ago, I was six.My hands began to tremble. When I was six, I had a high fever and fell unconscious. When I woke up, I was "a little different", according to Mom.Jake had once told me he also had a serious illness whe

That single line of words cut through the fog clouding my mind. This world was truly never where I belonged.Everyone here—my parents, my friends, and even my husband—wasn't lying. Their memories, experiences, and emotions were real.It was just that all of this belonged to another Erica, another version of my life. And I had crossed over into this alternate reality, carrying memories from my original world.I needed proof—more of it. I grabbed a blank notebook and started writing down every inconsistency I could remember.For example, Brandon's allergy to mangoes in my world and his love for them in this one, and how Rachel used to love him, but now despised him and had married Alex instead.With every line I wrote, my heart sank a little deeper.If this were really an alternate reality, where was Jake? In my original world, he had been real. Here, he had been erased, his entire existence overwritten and replaced by Brandon. Unless…A terrifying thought surfaced—unless Jake nev

Brandon walked into the bedroom while I was staring blankly at the wall where the newly restored wedding photo hung. "What's the matter, honey?"He came over and naturally put an arm around my shoulders. "The photo looks better after the restoration. Brighter, too."I didn't move away. I simply turned my head to look at him. "Brandon, do you know what my favorite foods are?"He froze momentarily, then smiled and pinched my cheek. "That's random. Well, for starters, you love blue cheese and clam chowder. Oh, and desserts too. Didn't you just ask me to bring home mango pudding yesterday?"My heart sank. None of the things he listed were what I liked. In fact, I hated them. The smell of blue cheese was nauseating. I avoided clam chowder at all costs. Meanwhile, desserts…Jake used to laugh at me for being a "sodium lover". I would only ever take a few bites of anything sweet. Yet, in this world, Brandon said it so naturally, as if it were common knowledge."What's the matter? Was I

A surge of excitement instantly overwhelmed me. I knew it! Jake really did exist!"Ma'am, is it him?"The elderly neighbor, Eloise Langley, looked at the photo in my phone and shook her head."No, not this young man. There's a boy in elementary school who has the same name, though. I have to say, he does look like the man next door… Oh, my. I'd be surprised if it's actually what I'm thinking of."I pulled my phone back, unwilling to give up. "Is it true that the family next door only ever had a daughter and not a son?""That's absolutely true," she said firmly. "Mrs. Watson went into labor early. I was the one who called the midwife to help with the delivery. It was a baby girl."Eloise thought for a moment, then went back inside her house to retrieve an old photograph. It showed a young, weak Mrs. Watson holding a newborn baby girl, smiling faintly with relief and happiness.The recorded birth time on the photo matched Jake's exactly, down to the minute."Could this timestamp
