He Stole Me From Another Timeline

Summary

I clutched the ultrasound, my heart racing as I rushed to tell Paul the news. He did not look at me, only threw his phone onto the table. The screen lit up with a photo of him and a young woman, their faces close, lips almost touching. The sight was a dizzying blow.

"I do not belong to this world," Paul said coldly. His words struck me like lightning, choking back every question. He leaned back and explained that in another timeline, I had chosen a man named Kieran. Driven by jealousy, he crossed time to reach me first. "I made sure to enter your life before Kieran could. I recreated everything meant for the two of you, including you." His tone held pride and contempt. "But after all these years with you," he added with a mocking laugh, "I realized you are nothing special."

A decade of love, from passionate dates to quiet mornings, now meant nothing. My heart felt torn. I could barely breathe. "So you betrayed me?" I forced out, my voice trembling. "Yes," he replied without pause. "She is young, gorgeous, thrilling. You are just boring, pathetic." He lit a cigarette and blew smoke into my face. It stung my eyes, and tears finally fell. "Tessa, we are getting a divorce."
