CHAPTER 5 – The Truth Penelope Could No Longer Hide
Marcus confronted Penelope that evening.
"I ordered a DNA test."
She immediately burst into tears.
"You don't trust me?"
"I trusted you enough to destroy my marriage."
She remained silent.
Marcus slammed the laboratory report onto the table.
"The conception dates don't lie."

Penelope whispered the truth.
"I didn't know whose baby it was."
Marcus stood frozen.
"What?"
"I was seeing someone else before you left Julianne."
His breathing became uneven.
"You told me I was finally getting the son I'd always wanted."
"I thought you were the father..."
"You thought?"
