All Chapters of A Baby Made of Lies: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The moment my message hit the chat, the group that had been buzzing with hundreds of people discussing work went dead silent.A few seconds later, Rose Jenkins' messages exploded across the screen.[Stella, what the hell are you talking about? I'm three months pregnant! I've got the ultrasound right here. How dare you make stuff up about me![Everyone, come look! Stella can't have kids herself, so she can't stand seeing anyone else pregnant![@HR @Philip Look at the kind of person you hired. I'm calling the police! This is defamation! This is harassment!]She started making a scene, and people jumped in to back her up. Every finger pointed straight at me.Paisley Gill from the design department wrote: [Stella, that's way too far. How can you say something like that to a pregnant woman? That's seriously messed up.]Someone else tried to calm Rose down.[Rose, take it easy. Don't get upset for the baby's sake. Stella was just joking.]But Rose wasn't letting it go.[Joking? Who

"Don't you have any sense of decency? How could you push a pregnant woman this far over a proposal? What were you even thinking? She's pregnant and still coming into work every day. That's not easy. If you keep this up, and something happens to her, are you going to take responsibility?"I struggled against their grip and raised my voice."How many times do I have to say it? I'm using a silent keyboard! How exactly am I bothering her? Through quantum vibrations? Besides, she says she's pregnant, but has anyone here actually seen her checkup reports? Has anyone seen her husband pick her up?"My words made a few people hesitate. I could see the doubt creeping into their faces.Rose immediately dug into her bag and pulled out a wrinkled sheet of paper."This is my ultrasound! It clearly says I'm 12 weeks pregnant!"I let out a short, cold laugh."Funny. A minute ago, you said my typing sounded like construction work, and it was hurting your belly. Now, you're yelling and crying thi

"Ahhh!"The scream tore through the entire room.But it wasn't Rose. It was Paisley and the other women beside "her."They covered their eyes, faces twisted in shock, like they couldn't believe what they were seeing.Even the officers froze.Under Rose's hospital gown, there was nothing female at all. Instead, what was there made everything unmistakably clear."So now, who's the killer?"I let go and looked down at Rose, who had gone completely still, like his brain had shut off."Officer, that proves I was telling the truth, doesn't it?"The room fell silent.Rose's face went from pale to a deep, blotchy red. He had never imagined I would actually do it, right here in the hospital, in front of everyone. He yanked the blanket over himself, screaming like he had lost control."You're insane! You're completely insane!"Paisley and the others finally snapped out of it, pointing at me, barely able to get their words out."Y-You… Stella, this is… This is just sick!"I didn't b

"Open your eyes and look! Shane and I are legally married!" Kelsey yelled.Paisley froze on the spot, completely thrown off, and shut her mouth.I stepped in, trying to explain to Kelsey."Ma'am, we didn't expect any of this either. We were all fooled by Roy."Kelsey snapped right back at me."Fooled? What kind of company are you running? A grown man slipped in for months, and nobody noticed? Looks to me like you were all in on it. I'm calling the police right now!"She lifted her phone, but Shane reached over and stopped her. "Go take care of the baby. I'll handle this."Kelsey wasn't letting it go that easily. "If you don't give me a real explanation today, we're done!"She turned and walked down the hall, holding her child close.Shane sat down under the officers' watch and finally started talking.It turned out his marriage to Kelsey was arranged. Since she hadn't given birth to a son, his position in the Ortegas had been slipping, and he was getting shut out of the real
