My best friend, Jayde Shepard, and I got pregnant at the same time. She gave me a chubby baby charm, saying she’d had it specially blessed for me to help the baby grow strong. However, just three months in, my belly had already swollen to an unnatural size, like I was about to give birth at any moment. I went through every test at the hospital, but everything came back normal. With no answers left, I turned to the internet. An anonymous user replied: "You’re wearing a cursed charm. She’s using your womb to grow her child. You’ll suffer the pregnancy, but your baby’s fate will be stolen." I thought about how, ever since I got pregnant, she had quietly taken several of my clients. A chill ran through me. That night, I took off the charm and hung it around the neck of the pregnant sow in our yard instead.

Both of them were insisting they were right, and for a moment, I had no idea who to believe.However, the pain wracking my body was unbearable. Gritting my teeth, I pressed the talisman Jayde had given me against my stomach.To my shock, the moment it touched my skin, it burst into flames on its own and burned away within seconds.Strangely enough, the pain vanished just as quickly. My body returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.I looked out toward the yard. The sow that had been bowing so eerily before was now calm again, quietly settling back into its pen.That pig couldn’t stay. I’d have to sell it in a few days.I muttered a few curses under my breath, just about to lie down, when I heard a knock at the door.When I opened it, I froze.It was Jayde. She was pounding on the door, calling my name urgently.I yanked it open. "Alright, alright. It’s the middle of the night. Do you want to wake the whole neighborhood?"Her eyes swept over me anxiously. "Colette, how a

The moment I read the message, I froze.Before I could even process it, @HollowBranch sent another long reply."The reason your baby seems to have disappeared is that it’s being concealed by a suffocating, cold energy. Think carefully. Has she come into contact with you in the past few days? She must have taken that opportunity to cast another spell. She’s trying to use your womb to raise something evil and harvest its luck for herself."I immediately thought back to the hospital when Jayde had grabbed my wrist.I quickly looked down. Sure enough, a dark bluish mark had appeared on my skin.At that point, my mind was completely tangled.Jayde told me not to trust @HollowBranch.@HollowBranch told me not to trust Jayde.So who was I supposed to believe?Unfortunately, I had no other choice. I described everything happening in front of me and sent it to @HollowBranch.After a long pause, he finally replied, "She’s more dangerous than I thought. That charm has been sealed with h

Jayde practically ground out her last few words through clenched teeth.She glared at me viciously. "That charm I gave you was made using your birth data. Now you’ve put it on something else. It’s the same as putting your own child into someone else’s body. How could you be this stupid?"I frowned slightly. "Then why was my stomach so big before? What caused that?"Jayde shook her head. "That’s because you have strong vitality. The charm’s effect was especially powerful on you. The baby had soaked up every bit of that power, so of course, your belly grew faster. I wasn’t as fortunate, so mine barely showed."She stared at me, her expression filled with resentment. "I never imagined you'd misinterpret my intentions so severely or truly believe I was out to harm you," she said. And now look at what you’ve done. You ruined me, and you lost your own child, too. Are you satisfied now?"I stared at her in disbelief. After a long pause, I finally asked, "Is what you’re saying true?""Of

Everyone was stunned by what Jayde said.After she spoke, her arm dropped, and she closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep.I didn’t bother with her anymore and left the hospital.With my stomach finally back to normal, work had been going unusually well these past few days. Some of the clients I’d lost were gradually coming back.Meanwhile, Jayde stayed in the hospital for over ten days, barely able to get out of bed.Liam even came to the office once to cause trouble, but security threw him out.The next time I saw Jayde, she was at the office handling her resignation. When she saw me, her gaze turned ice-cold, staring straight through me.Her stomach had grown even larger, her entire body swollen to an almost grotesque degree. She was so heavy that she had to catch her breath after just a few steps.Everyone in the office was shocked by her condition, whispering among themselves."How many is she carrying? Why is she so big?""Something’s off… It doesn’t look normal at

Seeing the scene, both Oscar and Sam were visibly shaken.Oscar stepped forward and said gently, "Jayde, are you okay?"Upon seeing us, her husband, Liam Baker, who had been at her side, spun around. He strode over and grabbed Oscar by the collar."You’re her boss? You knew she was pregnant, so w

As soon as I got home, I quickly messaged @HollowBranch. They replied almost immediately. "Did your friend give you anything else today?" "No," I typed back. "She didn’t give me anything." "Did she touch you at all?" I thought about it carefully. The only thing she’d touched was the fake cha

I frowned slightly. How did she find out so quickly?Nevertheless, I didn’t tell her the truth. Instead, I put on a surprised tone. "No, of course not. I’ve been wearing it the whole time."On the other end of the call, Jayde’s voice came out fast and tense. "That’s good. Colette, you absolutely c

The next day at work, Jayde Shepard hurried straight over to me the moment I walked in, her eyes flicking repeatedly toward my neck."Colette, why aren’t you wearing the charm I gave you?"I answered casually, "I took it off to shower and forgot to put it back on."To my surprise, Jayde instantly
