THE PATERNITY TEST (short story)
“I am sorry,” she said as she sniffed amidst tears.
I could not believe what I heard. My wedding is in two weeks, and my fiancee is standing in front of me with the confession that can make me walk away right now.
I can’t. I had been through so many relationships, and Victoria was the best thing that happened to me in a long time. Why did she do this? I loved her so much. Why would she betray me? She betrayed me for a few minutes of pleasure with her ex.
It would have been bearable if the story had ended with sex between them. The goodbye sex because she was getting married and would be restricted to sex with her husband for the rest of her life, or maybe her marriage.
She was three weeks pregnant.
I was excited.
I wasn't sure it was mine, she said it was mine.
“Victoria, why would you even do that? I mean, am I not enough for you?” I asked, I was trying to hold myself together, but the tears began to roll down my cheeks.
She was crying.
“I understand if you want to call off the wedding,” she responded as a tear slid down her cheeks.
