Chapter 3: The DNA Report

Sophia was escorted into a private room.
Richard followed.
Evelyn remained frozen in shock.
Meanwhile, the guests refused to leave.
Everyone sensed the story wasn't over.
Daniel returned to the stage.
Holding a single envelope.
A DNA test.
The room grew silent again.
Richard's face turned pale.
Because he immediately recognized it.
Daniel opened the envelope.
Three months earlier, Sophia had told him she was pregnant.
Everyone assumed the child was Daniel's.
Even Daniel himself.
Until doubts began appearing.
Late-night disappearances.
Secret meetings.
Lies that didn't add up.
So he ordered a test.
The results appeared on the giant screen.
Father: Richard Bennett.
Probability: 99.99%.
The room erupted.
Someone dropped a champagne glass.
Another guest cursed under his breath.
Evelyn nearly collapsed.
Sophia started sobbing uncontrollably.
Richard looked twenty years older in a matter of seconds.
The unborn child wasn't Daniel's.
It was his father's.
The betrayal ran deeper than anyone imagined.
Daniel finally understood why Sophia had been so desperate to continue the wedding.
She didn't love him anymore.
She needed him.
Needed his name.
Needed protection.
Needed someone to raise a child that wasn't his.
Richard stepped forward.
"Daniel... I never wanted this."
Daniel laughed.
For the first time all day.
A sad laugh.
"You had two years to stop."
Then he walked away.
Leaving his father standing alone.
But fate wasn't finished with the Bennett family yet.
