Ava's pov How long will this female doctor allow me to talk to my mum? Whenever I try to discuss things with her, she always says, "Please, don't speak. You need to relax and calm your nerves. You need it for your present situation.” Does this doctor really understand how I'm feeling right now? There are so many questions racing through my mind, and I need answers. Is Tyler not my biological father? It felt like a dream when Charlotte revealed it to the hearing of everyone. How did she come to know such information? And why would my dad or Tyler, whatever I should call him now, share such sensitive details and let Charlotte use it to mock me in front of everyone? If she truly cared about me, she would have told me as soon as she found out. This shows how deeply involved Charlotte and my dad are, if what she said is true. But hold on, will my mum's words be enough to satisfy me? She has always insisted that Tyler is my biological father. All I need is clarity, and only my mum
Charlotte's pov Tyler abruptly stopped talking as I entered his room, and his expression made it clear that he didn't want me to overhear the conversation. I continued to stare at him until he ended the call. "Who was that?" I asked. "Ava and..." He paused. "What does she want from you that you don't want me to know?" I sat on the bed, leaning my back against it, while keeping my eyes fixed on Tyler, who continued to gaze at me. "She wants to know the truth. She believes you fabricated what you said at the event." "This is the right time to let her know the truth. Unfortunately, both of us are now in the same situation. I have not seen my dad and she too had not known her dad. Please, tell her the truth." I averted my gaze from him. Tyler immediately shifted his attention to his phone, and after a few minutes, he said as he walked towards the bed, "I have sent her the DNA results. Only God knows how she will feel after going through them." When he said those words,
Luke's pov My secret had been exposed. When will I start? Will Blenda take me back into her life? Did she find out about my past and that's why she spent the night at her ex-boyfriend's place? It's been over ten minutes since I parked in front of my house, but I've lost all motivation to go inside. What's the point of going inside? My life is in shambles. The woman I love with all my heart for the first time has refused to let me into her house. Is this how those women feel when I reject their love? I feel a burning fire in my chest. It's hard to breathe properly. All I wanted was to talk to Blenda and beg her for not revealing these things right away when we started our relationship. If she had loved me then, she would have loved me for who I am. I took out my phone, intending to call my mum, but then the thought of calling Kate crossed my mind. "How did Blenda come into contact with Jane and Kate?" I said out loud without realizing it. Out of anger, I hit the steering whee
Blenda's pov Sitting in front of me was my only daughter, eagerly looking into my eyes, waiting for me to reveal the truth about her biological father. But I wasn't sure where to turn to unravel the secrets of the past. The certified DNA test results from Tyler had shown that Ava wasn't his daughter. I wanted to step back and reflect on where I went wrong. My entire life had been sacrificed for my father's obsession with what he loved and wanted to achieve. I grew up as a happy girl in a privileged home where I had everything I desired. My father was wealthy, and my existence had contributed to his financial success. I was the only child at home, and all the attention was focused on me. Growing up in a wealthy household, I was fortunate to start a beautiful relationship with Johnson, a sweet guy who was admired by everyone in my college. Our relationship felt like a blessing from above. My parents also fell in love with him when I introduced him to our family, and he became a cl
Charlotte's pov It has been two days since the party that I thought was meant to celebrate Ava's achievement but ended up causing a complete rift between us. I feel restless whenever I think about what happened at the party. Ava has been my best friend, and I don't want us to drift apart like this or I should be the one responsible for the breakup. I need to find a solution to resolve our unspoken disagreement. She won't even answer my calls. I'm concerned about her well-being, especially considering the emotional impact of finding out that Tyler isn't her father. She must be going through a traumatic experience, just like me. For more than twenty-three years, I have felt empty in my search for my real father and I think my mum has given up in the search. Ava is likely feeling the same way now. It's gotten to the point where I don't even feel like eating. All my thoughts were to make up with Ava. Tyler referred to the party and its aftermath as blessings in disguise and he said it
Author's pov Ava and her mum were getting ready to enter her mom's car and go straight to meet Johnson when Ava spoke up. "Mom, I have an idea," she said, standing close to the car door. "What idea?" her mom asked. "Why don't you go alone? My presence might not create the right atmosphere to get his hair for the DNA test." Blenda thought for a moment and nodded, looking at Ava. "You're right. So, can you stay alone at home?" she asked. Before Ava could respond, her mom suggested, "Why don't you go and stay with your grandparents for a while? I don't know when I'll be back." "Will you be staying there for long?" Ava asked. "No, once I get what I need, I'll let you know immediately." "Okay, Mum." Ava stepped away from the car door, went to meet her mom, hugged her, and kissed her on the right cheek. She watched her mom get into the car and drive away. As soon as her mom left, Ava went inside, packed some of her clothes, came out, got into her car, and drove to her gran
Ava's pov I was on my way to my grandparents' house when I realized that things weren't going well in my life. I tried to ignore it and blamed Charlotte for all my discomfort. But now I understand that it wasn't just her betrayal that was causing me unrest. As I had both hands on the steering wheel, I spoke the words out loud, "Where is Douglas, my boyfriend?"I fell silent and started reflecting on my life, starting from the event I organized to humiliate Charlotte and my son called foster father. That was the only time I saw Douglas. He had said he couldn't make it, but he showed up at the last moment. I didn't see him at the hospital, and he didn't call me when I was there. It's clear that I've been the one pushing our relationship forward. My slight negligence resulted in me not hearing from him. I decided not to call him and continued driving at a normal speed. But my tender heart couldn't stop thinking about him. I wished my heart could be as strong as it was towards Charl
Charlotte's pov I watched Tyler as he went to the door to see who was knocking. None of us were expecting a visitor, and I doubted if Ava would come to see us since she was very angry with me to the point that she had decided not to answer my calls, no matter how many times I dialed her number. It's so frustrating, as she's been my only friend in this city. "Hi..." I could hear Tyler saying to the person outside the door. If it was someone he or I knew, he would have added their name. He paused, waiting for the person to respond and at the same time, I positioned my head so that I could hear what they were saying. "Please, I'm looking for Charlotte. I suppose you're her dad. Nice to meet you, you have a very beautiful daughter," a male voice replied. As soon as I heard my name from an unfamiliar voice, I stood up at once and went to the door. When I reached the door, Tyler moved away so I could face the young man directly. The first thing I did was give him a quick once-over,
