I said, “Tell me exactly what she said.”

“She has been accusing me of cheating on you for five years.”

He exhaled. “She thinks Dad should ask for a paternity test.”

I laughed. Not because it was funny. Because I couldn’t believe she had gone that far.

“A paternity test. For our son.”

“She says if there’s ever a dispute over the estate—”

“There won’t be a dispute unless she creates one.”

“I know.”

“He may want to reconsider the will.”

“No, Dave. Do you? Because she has been accusing me of cheating on you for five years, and now she’s trying to turn it into legal paperwork.”

He looked miserable. “Dad doesn’t want drama.”

“Your mother is drama in a cashmere sweater.”

Then he said the part that lit me on fire.

“Mom told him that if we refuse, he may want to reconsider the will.”

“Let’s do the test.”

I just stood there. Then I said, very calmly, “Fine.”

Dave looked up. “Fine?”

“Let’s do the test.”

I adopted the girl everyone blamed for my daughter’s disappearance — 10 years later, she faced me and said, “Everything you know about that night is a LIE.” After my wife died, my daughter Emily and I were all that remained of our little family. She was the light of my life. Her best friend, Nora, was always there too. Nora had no parents. No real home. Those girls were inseparable. Emily would say, “Dad, Nora is basically my sister.” Then one October evening, they went for a walk. An ordinary walk near the house, like countless others. But only Nora came back. Her sneakers were muddy. Her lips were blue from the cold. She stood on my porch trembling so hard her teeth clicked. “Where’s Emily?” I asked. Nora just stared past me and whispered, “I have no idea.” The police searched the whole town and the entire state. But Emily was never found. She had vanished. Nora was the main witness. But everyone blamed her for Emily’s disappearance. Even my own brother said, “That girl knows more than she’s saying.” Maybe she did. But every time I looked at Nora, I didn’t see a monster. I saw a terrified child who had lost the one soul who had ever loved her. So I did the thing that made the whole town turn against me. I adopted her. People called me foolish. Weak. Sick with grief. But Nora never took Emily’s room. Never touched her things. Every year, on the anniversary, she placed one white daisy on Emily’s pillow and cried when she thought I couldn’t hear. Ten years passed. Last night, I was sitting in the dim kitchen with Emily’s old pink scarf in my hands when Nora stepped in after her late shift. She was pale. Her coat was soaked with rain. “Dad,” she said, and her voice broke. I stood up slowly. She swallowed hard and whispered, “EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHT OF EMILY’S DISAPPEARANCE IS A LIE.” My pulse slammed against my throat so hard I gripped the chair. “Nora… what did you mean?” Tears spilled down her face. “Please,” she said. “Stay calm. I can’t hide this ANYMORE.” Then she walked to the front door and opened it. The second I recognized the person standing on my porch— I fell to my knees. PART2 YOU WANT??
