Chapter 10

Author: Richie Young
Vanessa was still at the hospital.

She had clearly gone to some effort to make herself look pitiful, sitting curled up on a bench with her knees hugged to her chest.

Her shoulders trembled as if she were crying.

At the sound of footsteps, she looked up at me with red-rimmed eyes.

"Nolan, I really didn't do anything to her..."

I gave her a cool look, then stepped aside to let the two police officers behind me come forward.

Vanessa's expression froze.

"Are you Ms. Langford?" one of the officers as

    For a moment, time seemed to stand still.Vanessa's mouth hung open.After a long moment, she finally murmured, "No... That's impossible. It can't be..."I smiled."Why not?"Haven't you been wondering why I suddenly started treating Arianna so well? Why I suddenly stopped buying your act?"Because I'm Arianna."All this time, the person you kept framing, the one who saw your true colors, was actually Nolan."And all those times you acted sweet and helpless, trying to get Nolan's attention and affection? You were really putting on that act for me."Vanessa stared at me, eyes wide.Her gaze slowly went unfocused, as if she'd just seen something terrifying."Aah!"She suddenly let out a piercing scream, grabbed her bag from the floor, and swung it wildly at me."No! You're lying! That's impossible!"I dodged aside.The two police officers immediately stepped in from either side and restrained her.Vanessa was taken away.The next time I heard about her, she'd already left the police stat

    Vanessa was still at the hospital.She had clearly gone to some effort to make herself look pitiful, sitting curled up on a bench with her knees hugged to her chest.Her shoulders trembled as if she were crying.At the sound of footsteps, she looked up at me with red-rimmed eyes."Nolan, I really didn't do anything to her..."I gave her a cool look, then stepped aside to let the two police officers behind me come forward.Vanessa's expression froze."Are you Ms. Langford?" one of the officers asked. "Mr. Ralston filed a report alleging that you deliberately harmed his fiancée, Ms. Keaton."Ms. Keaton is three months pregnant. She lost consciousness after your confrontation and was brought to the hospital. Doctors are still evaluating whether the fetus was harmed."The color drained from Vanessa's face."No! I didn't push her! She passed out on her own!"That part was true. Nolan had told me himself that Vanessa hadn't pushed him while he was in my body.But I calmly pulled up the secur

    I let out a long breath.I was just about to ask Walter to have a few more staff members look after Nolan when he grabbed my hand and looked straight into my eyes."Ari, I owe you this. I'm sorry."I froze.Nolan had always been proud. He'd been the golden boy all his life.Even during those two years when he'd hit rock bottom, I'd always been careful to protect his pride.Maybe that was exactly why he'd come to take everything I'd done for him for granted.It was the first time I'd ever heard words like "thank you" or "I'm sorry" from him."After spending all this time in your body, I think I finally understand a little of what it felt like to be you."He paused, then gave a bitter smile."I never knew Vanessa could be like that."She was always sweet and gentle with me. I had no idea she'd treat you that way when I wasn't around."And the time you had that fever, and what happened with your dad... I'm sorry for all of it."Those were the words I'd once wanted more than anything.It w

    I stood there, my mind going completely blank.Me?Pregnant?Just like that?Nolan still had one hand over his lower belly, seemingly without even realizing it."The doctor says you're three months along."It was... the night we got engaged."I remembered.That was probably when we'd loved each other most. Back then, we'd truly believed we'd spend the rest of our lives together, just the two of us.We thought we'd never be apart, so we hadn't used any birth control that night.Who could've known what would happen afterward..."Actually, I've known for a while," Nolan said. "I kept feeling nauseous and losing my appetite. At first, I thought your body was just run-down, or that my soul wasn't adjusting well to it."Then I took a pregnancy test and found out."Nolan gave a faint smile.He actually looked a little happy.Happy, my ass.I wasn't happy at all."No. We have to switch back. Right now."This was my body.My life.And my child.I was absolutely certain that I didn't love Nolan

    Nolan visibly stiffened.It lasted only a second, but I caught it. That was all the confirmation I needed.I really didn't get it.He used to act like he couldn't stand me. Once, when he was drunk, he'd even said things like, "If only you hadn't stayed by my side back then. Then I wouldn't have to feel so guilty."I knew that after Vanessa came back, he'd wanted to get away from me.So what was all this about now?Whatever. I couldn't be bothered to figure out what was going on in his head.As long as I was in Nolan's body, I'd do what I needed to do.And so our bizarre life continued.I worked hard every day, gaining experience so I could start my own company someday.Meanwhile, Nolan really did start living my life in earnest while he was in my body.He ate the balanced meals I'd ordered on schedule and dutifully went to physical therapy for my injured leg.He even met up with my friends and followed the same daily routine I'd had before the body swap.He really was living my life.A

    Wait.Had we switched again?I stared at Nolan's face in the mirror, completely baffled.But I hadn't even made a wish this time!When I went downstairs, Nolan was already sitting at the table in my body.Surprisingly, he looked perfectly calm, nothing like the way he'd flown into a rage after our first swap.I studied him suspiciously for a moment and was just about to ask what was going on when Walter rushed over, looking frantic."Mr. Ralston, something's wrong. Ms. Langford... she's threatening to kill herself!"Vanessa really knew how to make a scene. Nolan must've taken great care of her. She certainly had plenty of energy to spare.She was standing on the roof of the mansion, crying and demanding to know why I didn't believe her.She was threatening to jump."Nolan, if you don't even believe me anymore, what's the point of living? I might as well die!"Do you have any idea how much pain I was in every day when I was going through chemo overseas? The only thing that kept me going
