The Baby Isn't Mine!

"Her friend is even congratulating her. That proves it. She's definitely the kid's mom!""But why did her friend say congrats on becoming a dad? Shouldn't it be congratulations on becoming a mom?"The crowd buzzed with whispers. Shirley Dunn looked at me and spoke in a shrill, cutting voice."That's because she's one of those girls who acts like a guy! She's always hanging around men, calling them bros, acting all buddy-buddy, even saying she's more manly than they are. So her friend saying congrats on becoming a dad totally makes sense."I froze again, too shocked to even argue back. Just then, the baby in my arms suddenly started wailing.I panicked and awkwardly rocked him a couple of times. Somehow, the crying actually quieted down."See?" Shirley's voice trembled with excitement. "That's a mother's instinct! Girls like her love flirting with men. I thought she was still a woman deep down, soft by nature. I never expected her heart to be cruel enough to dump her baby!"W

It was a photo of me in cosplay at a convention.I was dressed in women's clothing, wearing a long pink wig and a cute, ornate dress."Would a man dress like this? So how are you planning to explain it this time?"Everyone's eyes instantly stabbed toward me.My scalp prickled with panic."I'm an anime nerd. I like cosplay. Wearing women's outfits is normal in that circle. What does that prove?"Evidence kept piling up, one piece after another.Shirley, whom I'd only met once, had clearly come prepared.She was setting me up.But why?Shirley scoffed."Cosplay? Yeah, right! With this many coincidences, who do you think people will believe? That you're a man, or that she's a woman?"Before the crowd could even question me further, a group of reporters and influencers suddenly pushed their way in.They carried cameras and held phones high, shoving forward as their lenses locked onto me."Your schoolmate is accusing you of abandoning a newborn and trying to dodge responsibili

After that, I lowered my head and accepted my fate."The DNA test says I'm the baby's biological mother," I said quietly. "I'll take responsibility."The crowd exploded."She finally admitted she abandoned the baby. See? You have to shove the evidence in her face before she'll shut up."A victorious smile spread across Shirley's face as she nodded again and again."Taylor, I'm glad you chose to be a proper mother."I ignored her. Holding the baby, I turned toward the police and the reporters."Officer. Members of the press. Before you arrest me, I want to register my newborn son's birth."Theo grabbed at his hair, panic written all over his face."Have you lost your mind? You can't just claim someone as your son! Just take your pants off and prove that you're a dude! Showing your manhood would still be better than going to jail!"Show my manhood? Was I supposed to throw away the rest of my life like that?I patted the back of his hand, my gaze steady. "The DNA test is done.

I hadn't even had a chance to respond.My father's gaze finally dropped to the baby in my arms. Then he turned sharply, his eyes locking onto the officer in charge."Officer, I'm Emmett Stevens, chairman of Stevens Corporation," he said. "I've seen everything that's been circulating online. My son has been seriously wronged today. I want an explanation."When he said the word "son", he pronounced it slowly and clearly.Stevens Corporation. Emmett Stevens.Who in this city didn't know the chairman of its leading enterprise? Who didn't know his wealth was astronomical, or that he had only one son?Which meant that the so-called female college student accused of abandoning a baby and secretly giving birth…was actually the legitimate heir of Stevens Corporation!The crowd that had been cheering Shirley just moments earlier went pale in an instant.The reporters turned just as white, lowering their cameras without a word."Oh, no, Mr. Stevens. This is all a misunderstanding!"The

The officer didn't raise his voice, but in the suffocating silence, every critical word carried clearly through the room."Chief, we've confirmed it. A key sampling technician and preliminary report reviewer at the testing center is Shirley Dunn's biological mother. She was responsible for sample collection and participated directly in today's procedure."Internal surveillance also shows that after the samples were collected and before the report was issued, Mrs. Dunn had unauthorized solo access to the materials and performed improper operations."The words were like a bomb going off.Suddenly, everything made sense.Why Shirley had been so fearless, and why a report that was supposed to be strict and scientific had produced something as absurd as a confirmed mother-and-child relationship.From the moment Shirley accused me, this had been a carefully constructed trap, a vicious scheme that exploited maternal sympathy and public pressure to force her own child onto me, someone sh
