Chapter 8

Author: Seaweed Sweetie
“You’d better not regret this, Finn!”

Clutching the crying baby, Louise hurried away.

The once high-and-mighty Mr. Yeaton now sat on the ground like a child for everyone to see.

From my final cold stare and Levi’s mocking with his wedding band to Louise’s venomous accusations and the baby’s piercing cries, Finn had these replaying in his head.

Countless voices and visuals tore violently through his chaotic mind.

With his head clutched tightly between his hands, he wept in silence.

He was done for.

Everything was over.

Months later, Levi slid a report across the table toward me.

“The results are in,” he said in a low voice.

My gaze fell on the bold title on the cover of the report: DNA Paternity Test Report.

“Based on the DNA analysis, the father, Finn, and the son, Dylan, are excluded from a biological parent-child relationship.”

“That must’ve been quite the surprise for him,” I said with a mocking smile.

“That old lover classmate of Louise was not exactly tight

    The hospital diagnosed Finn with late-stage pancreatic cancer. It was incurable, and only death awaited him. Claudia called me, begging, “I know I was wrong before, but Finn has realized his mistakes now. He doesn’t have much time left, and his only wish is to see you once more.”When I arrived at the hospital to see Finn, who once stood high and mighty, the man had now grown so thin that he was almost unrecognizable. His face was sunken and his cheekbones protruding, leaving no trace of the handsome man that he used to be. He was staring blankly at the ceiling until he heard my voice. He then turned toward me. The moment he saw me, a spark flickered in his gaze.Right after, though, he glanced at his own shriveled body and gave a self-deprecating smile. He was tugging the blanket higher over himself, not wanting to witness him in such an embarrassing state.“Annalise, thank you for still being willing to come see me. I must look terrible now, don’t I?“I honestly regret it.

    Louise’s heart lurched into her throat under Finn’s gaze, and her smile was frozen in place. “Last time…” said Finn in an eerily calm tone. “What you said to Annalise… Was it true?”…“W-what… What are you talking about, dear?”Louise’s eyes darted nervously. Her arms tightened protectively around the baby as she took a step back. Her voice trembled slightly, laced with a touch of grievance as she spoke again.“Did Annalise say something to you again? A woman like her can’t even keep a man, yet still goes around stirring up trouble…”“I asked you a question!”Finn suddenly took a step forward. His tall frame exuded an overwhelming presence, instantly engulfing Louise in his shadow.“That night with the heavy rain! We were drunk! Did you or did you not crawl into my bed?! How the hell was Dylan conceived?! Answer me!”Louise shuddered violently in fear, and the baby in her arms broke into a loud, sharp wail.“Yes, it’s true! So what?!”Her head snapped up, and her shrill voi

    “It was nothing more than another disgusting lie made up by you, Mr. Yeaton. It was all just to keep me under control and to save the last shred of dignity for your family.”Right then and there, Finn’s mind went completely blank. He stood there rooted in place. The memories of that night with Louise—the drunken haze and their physical intimacy—had all come flooding back to him like water breaking through a dam. He refused to believe it.“No! Listen to me!”The words burst out of him almost instinctively. A surge of panic seized him as he desperately wanted to deny and salvage the situation.“She’s lying to you! That child really was conceived through IVF, and I swear on my honor! There’s nothing between me and her, and I would never touch a woman like her! Annalise, she’s jealous of you. She’s trying to drive us apart! You can’t believe her! Just come back to me, and we—”A soft sneer slipped through my lips, silencing his frantic excuses all at once.All I could see as I lo

    Furious beyond reason, Finn snapped completely. He shoved away the people around him and stormed into the middle of the road. With arms flung wide, he blocked the white Rolls-Royce Phantom that was slowly approaching him.“Stop! Stop the car!“Annalise! Get out of the car right now!”His roar tore through the cheerful wedding music, each word seethed through clenched teeth.“Who said you could dress like this?! Who gave you the right to marry someone else?! Get out here!”The once cherished family portrait had already been thrown carelessly onto the roadside like a piece of trash.The wedding car screeched to a halt, and the air was thick with tension.Onlookers quickly gathered, whispering among themselves. Their murmurs stung at Finn’s frayed nerves like countless tiny needles. “What’s going on? Isn’t that man married with a kid? Why is he crashing someone else’s wedding?”“How shameless! He's causing such a ruckus in the middle of someone else’s wedding.”“Oh, this is g

    I took the divorce papers out of my bag and handed them to Finn.“Stop dragging this out. Sign it.“Otherwise, I don’t mind letting the entire Yeaton family make tomorrow’s headlines. You wouldn’t want everyone to find out how you and your mistress teamed up to assault your wife, who recently miscarried, and forced her to accept your illegitimate child, would you?”Finn’s voice turned cold as he said, “Can you stop making a scene? Is this little thing really worth such a fuss?”I said nothing and pushed the divorce papers further toward him.Irritation surging within him as he stared at the blood at the corner of my lips and the resolve in my eyes.“Fine, Annalise! You’re really something!” he roared.He then snatched up a pen and, without even glancing at the document, scrawled his signature furiously on the dotted line.“There! I’ve signed it! Just as you wished! Now get out! Take your things and get out of the house! I want to see how far a barren, discarded woman like you c
