My Son’s DNA Test Confirmed Paternity

She looked just as horrified as I felt. I rushed home and asked Jacob for another DNA test—this time, not for me, but for Lila. When the results came back, our worst fear was confirmed.

They shared 25% of their DNA. They were half-siblings. The wedding was called off.

The heartbreak that followed was unbearable—for everyone. I had searched for the truth out of curiosity, not knowing it would unravel so much more. And to this day, I still don’t know if knowing the truth was a gift—or a curse.
