ological father. This revelation shocked me but didn’t provide conclusive proof.

Finally, I gathered the courage to confront Ashley. I shared the investigator’s findings and expressed my suspicions. At first, Ashley denied everything defensively, but eventually, she tearfully admitted the truth: during our college years, we had a drunken night together after a party. A few weeks later, she discovered she was pregnant with Lily.

This confession confirmed my suspicions and brought to light a truth that had been hidden for years. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, from betrayal to understanding, but uncovering this truth has given me a sense of closure and clarity.
