I reacted.
Forcefully gripping onto his collared shirt, I slammed his back against the cement wall behind him, ready to fucking kill him.
He loudly gasped, sucking in the air I was taking from him.
“He’s not your son! He will never be your son!”
“I know he’s yours, Caleb. I swear to you.” He shook uncontrollably in my grasp. “I don’t want them, I swear … but I had to tell you. These lies are eating me alive!”
I stumbled back, letting him go with tears in my eyes.
“Them?”
“I’m sorry, Caleb. I’m so fucking sorry, but…”
“No…” I begged for I don’t know what. “Please … don’t…”
Another bomb detonated through my soul as he confessed, “Ariel is mine too.”
I fell to my knees. My legs couldn’t hold me up anymore.
This was what dying felt like.
Eliciting feelings I never thought possible, emotions no one should ever have to experience. I felt every loss of breath as if he jammed a knife into my heart. Agony clutched my heart and wouldn’t let go.
“Your prenup stated the more kids you had, the more money she’d get if you divorced. We knew you’d eventually file, so we made Ethan to get you to marry her, but we made Ariel to get more money out of you. We just had to wait for the perfect timing to get you to think you’d slept with her.”
I whispered, “We never had sex.”
“No, we just made you believe you did. We rigged the paternity tests to prove you were the father of both of them.”
All the air from my lungs vanished.
I couldn’t breathe…
I couldn’t fucking breathe.
Not for a second.
A minute.
A lifetime.
My heart shattered into a million pieces.
It was raw.
Excruciating.
Downright torture.
I was suffocating in his lies and now I was drowning in his truths.
Without thinking twice about it, I charged at him, ramming my shoulder into his stomach. My brazen glare never wavered from the man who’d just ruined my life and everything I believed in.
My chest heaved.
My nostrils flared.
