I froze when I saw the long blonde strands of hair stuck to the shower wall. I’m the only woman in this apartment—and my hair’s jet black. My mind raced. Could it really mean what I thought? No, my fiancé would never cheat on me... Right? Instead of jumping to conclusions, I decided to find definitive answers. I sent the hair for a DNA test. When the results came back, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
This wasn’t just betrayal—it was something far worse, and it would change our lives forever...
As I scrubbed the bathroom, my mind was more tangled than the hair I found. I kept thinking about how weird it all was. Was I overreacting? James was never the type to play around like that. Still, taking the DNA test made sense to me. I needed something solid to hold onto. The hairs went off in that little envelope and could hold all the answers. I hoped I'd be ready for whatever came my way.
James strolled into the room with that signature smile. "Why so serious today, Veronica? Did something happen?" he asked, ruffling my hair. My stomach did a little flip at his touch, and for a moment, I wanted to spill everything to him. But I held back. Why make a mountain out of a molehill if it was nothing at all? His cheerful eyes didn’t match the swirling storm in my chest.
