Chapter 121

Chapter 121 Lucas’s Pov“I don’t even know why I have to explain myself to you,” Lisa snapped, pacing the living room. “Because you humiliated me, Lisa!” I shouted back, my patience hanging by a thread. “You attacked Sienna in front of everyone! Do you know how ridiculous that made us look?” Lisa spun on her heel, her face contorted with anger. “Humiliated you? Are you seriously worried about your image when she’s the one trying to ruin our lives? She was there to ruin me Lucas!” I pinched the bridge of my nose, exhaling slowly. “Lisa, I already told you, I’m handling Sienna. You don’t need to turn every situation into a scene. Do you think people left that party talking about our engagement? No, they left talking about your fight with my ex-wife!” Her eyes softened slightly, but her voice remained defiant. “I just… I can’t stand seeing her around you. I lose control.” I shook my head, feeling my anger dissipate. It was exhausting, constantly going in circles like this. “L

Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Lucas’s Pov“I just want to take her out for the day, Sienna,” I said, my voice steady but pleading as I stood in front of her doorstep. Sienna crossed her arms, leaning against the frame of the door. “Why, Lucas? What’s this sudden interest in Daphne? You’ve barely been in her life.” Her words stung, but I kept my composure. “I know I’ve been absent,” I admitted, my tone softer now. “But I just want to spend some time with her. No strings attached.” She studied me for a long moment, her gaze sharp and unyielding. Then, almost reluctantly, she stepped aside and called into the house. “Daphne! Someone wants to see you.” A moment later, Daphne appeared, her eyes lighting up when she saw me. “Lucas!” she exclaimed, running toward me. I crouched down, meeting her at eye level. “Hey, kiddo. How about we go out today? Just you and me?” Her face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Really? Can we get ice cream?” I chuckled, ruffling her hair. “Ice cream, toys, whatever

Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Lucas’s Pov“Here it is,” I said, handing the small tissue with Daphne’s hair to the doctor. My voice was calm, but my heart raced like a runaway train. The doctor nodded, taking the sample carefully. “We’ll run the tests and get back to you as soon as possible, Mr. Collins,” he said with a reassuring tone. “Thanks,” I muttered, leaving the hospital. As I walked to my car, my mind was swirling with questions. "If Daphne is my daughter, how?" Sienna and I had lost our baby three years ago. The pain of that memory made my chest ache. I drove to the office, trying to distract myself by diving into work. I reviewed documents, made calls, and attended a few meetings. But no matter how much I tried to focus, my mind kept drifting back to Daphne. A few hours later, my phone buzzed. It was a message from the hospital: “Your test results are ready. Please visit us at your earliest convenience.”My breath caught. This was it. The moment I’d been waiting for. I excused

Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Sienna’s Pov“Daphne, are you ready for school?” I called out as I packed her lunch. “No, Mommy!” she yelled back, her voice weak and dramatic. I frowned, walking to her room. She was lying in bed, her small face scrunched up in mock agony. “What’s wrong?” I asked, placing my hand on her forehead. “I feel sick,” she said with an exaggerated sigh, holding her stomach. I narrowed my eyes, instantly suspicious. “Daphne, are you playing a prank on me?” Her lips twitched, betraying a smile she was trying to hide. “Daphne…” I said in a warning tone. She burst into laughter, throwing the blanket off. “Okay, fine! I’m not sick!” I let out an exasperated sigh, lightly smacking her on the arm. “You little rascal! Don’t scare me like that!” Daphne giggled uncontrollably, grabbing her backpack. “Let’s go, Mommy!” At school, everything seemed normal until I turned to leave. That’s when I noticed a group of kids surrounding Daphne near the playground. One of them

Chapter 125

Chapter 125Ryan’s Pov“She really left with David?” I muttered to myself, pacing around my living room I wasn’t used to this, the feeling of being rejected. It gnawed at me. Sienna was different from the others, and I wasn’t ready to give up. I decided to visit her, hoping to set things straight and show her how serious I was. When I arrived at her house, I knocked lightly, half-hoping she wouldn’t open the door. But after a few moments, the door swung open, and there she was, looking exhausted but as beautiful as ever. “What are you doing here, Ryan?” she asked, her tone wary but not unkind. “I wanted to check on you,” I said, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. That’s when I saw Daphne lying on the couch, her cheeks flushed and a blanket wrapped around her. “Is she okay?” I asked, concerned creeping into my voice. “She’s fine,” Sienna replied, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “It’s just a little fever. Probably from the cold. I’ve given her

Chapter 126

Chapter 126Sienna’s Pov“Finally!” I snapped as David walked through the door hours later than promised. He looked startled by my tone but quickly composed himself. “I’m sorry, Sienna. Traffic was….” “Traffic?” I interrupted, crossing my arms. “You couldn’t even call? Do you know what I’ve dealt with today?” David blinked, clearly taken aback. “Okay, what’s going on? What happened?” I sighed, dropping my hands to my sides. “Ryan happened. And his… whatever she was,” I said, pacing the room. “Some woman barged in here, called me a whore, and said she was pregnant with his child.” David’s face darkened. “He brought someone like that to your house? With Daphne here?” “Exactly,” I said, throwing up my hands. “And she had the audacity to attack me in my own home!” David stepped closer, his expression softening. “Sienna, I’m sorry you had to deal with that. You shouldn’t have to put up with any of this.” I sighed again, the tension in my shoulders easing slightly. “Thanks,

Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Lucas's Pov"I need confirmation on the results,” I said to the lab assistant over the phone, my voice tight with frustration. “Of course, Mr. Lucas,” the assistant replied, her tone professional. “We’ll double-check and get back to you within the hour.” I hung up, gripping the steering wheel of my car. The idea of Daphne being my daughter had stirred something deep in me, something I hadn’t felt in years. But doubt lingered. “Could it really be true?”An hour later, my phone buzzed. I pulled over to answer the call. “Mr. Lucas,” the assistant began, “we’ve reviewed the results, and it seems there was a mix-up with the samples. We deeply apologize for the error.” Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I clenched my jaw, fighting the wave of disappointment that surged through me. “Thank you for confirming,” I said tightly before ending the call. As I drove aimlessly through the city, my thoughts swirled. The prospect of Daphne being mine, of having a connect

Chapter 128

Chapter 128Lucas’s PovI sat up in the hospital bed, rubbing the bandage on my head as the nurse handed me the discharge papers. My head throbbed slightly, but I was eager to leave the suffocating white walls and return home. “Take it easy for the next few days,” the nurse advised. “And avoid any unnecessary stress.” I let out a bitter laugh. Stress was unavoidable in my life. When I got home, all I wanted was to collapse on my bed and sleep. But the moment I walked through the door, Lisa was there, her arms crossed and her face set in a pout. “You’re back,” she said, her tone devoid of concern. “Good. I need money for shopping.” I stared at her, incredulous. “Lisa, I just got out of the hospital. Do you even care how I’m feeling?” She rolled her eyes. “Don’t be so dramatic, Lucas. You’re fine. Now, about the money—” I raised a hand, cutting her off. “I can’t do this right now. I just need to rest.” “Fine,” she huffed, turning away. “But don’t think you can keep igno

Chapter 129

Chapter 129Sienna’s PovThe day was quiet, and I was grateful for the calmness. Daphne was busy with her coloring book, humming to herself as I folded laundry in the living room. The doorbell rang suddenly, breaking the peace. “Who could that be?” I muttered, walking toward the door. When I opened it, my breath caught. Standing there, dressed in a casual button-down and jeans, was Ryan. “Ryan?” I said, blinking in surprise. “Hey, Sienna,” he said with a soft smile. “Mind if I come in?” I hesitated for a moment before stepping aside. “Sure. Come in.” As soon as he walked in, Daphne’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Ryan!” she squealed, dropping her crayons and running to him. Ryan crouched down, opening his arms wide. “Hey, kiddo! How’s my favorite little star doing?” “I’m good!” Daphne said excitedly. “Look at what I drew!” She grabbed her coloring book and proudly showed him her latest creation. Ryan played along, praising her artwork and making her giggle with his exaggerated r

Chapter 130

Chapter 130Sienna’s PovAfter Ryan left, I leaned back against the couch, letting out a deep sigh. My mind was a mess, tangled with emotions I didn’t want to confront. Just as I was beginning to find some peace, another knock echoed through the house. I frowned, standing up. “Ryan, if you forgot something…” I muttered as I walked to the door. But when I opened it, my heart sank. “Lucas,” I said, my voice sharp with surprise. He stood there, his expression unreadable but his eyes burning with intensity. “Sienna,” he said calmly, though his voice was firm. “We need to talk.” “No, we don’t,” I snapped, trying to shut the door, but he wedged his foot in. “Yes, we do,” he insisted, stepping inside. I backed away, glaring at him. “What the hell are you doing here?” “I know the truth, Sienna,” he said, his tone low and steady. “Daphne is my daughter.” His words struck like lightning, freezing me in place. “What?” I said, laughing bitterly. “Where did you get that ridi
