Author: Peachy Leaf
"These results raise questions, but blood typing alone isn't a paternity test. A DNA test would be needed to establish paternity."

Michael stared directly at the paper.

How was that possible?!

He snapped his head up and met Sarah's deathly pale face.

Sarah scrambled to force a weak smile with her voice shaking uncontrollably.

"The blood samples must have been mixed up... How could that be... Michael, there's definitely been a mistake..."

Michael let out a dry laugh dripping with rage and s

    Sarah froze where she was standing.The tactical officers tackled her and pinned her to the concrete floor, preventing her from resisting.Julian rushed to Chloe's side and pulled out a pocketknife.He sliced through the heavy nylon ropes with practiced ease."Chloe, it's over. I'm here now. You're safe."He carefully examined the cut beneath her collarbone. His brows knitted tight with heart-wrenching concern.Beside them, Michael could no longer hold himself up.He slid slowly down the side of the chair onto the ground.His hand pressed tightly against his sternum and his body was completely soaked through with crimson. Every breath he drew came as a ragged, agonizing gasp.Yet, he stubbornly lifted his head and stretched out a trembling, blood-stained hand toward Chloe."Looks like... the life I owe you... gets repaid today..."A bitter laugh escaped his lips and warm tears mixed with blood streamed down his face. "This time... Chloe... can you find it in your heart t

    Ice-cold water splashed violently across Chloe's face.It woke her with a sharp, gasping cough.Bound tightly to an iron chair with heavy nylon ropes, she sat in a room surrounded by the peeling, damp walls of an abandoned warehouse.Sarah stood over her.Holding a boning knife in her hand, she used the tip of the blade to lift Chloe's chin."Don't be afraid, Chloe," Sarah murmured softly. "We've been best friends for over a decade. How could I bear to let you die all alone? "Soon... someone will be here to keep you company."With a thunderous crash, the rusted metal door flew open as Michael burst inside."Sarah! Let her go! If you want something, take it out on me!"The hatred in Sarah's eyes flared instantly into an absolute frenzy.She grabbed Chloe's long hair and yanked her head back.Without hesitation, she dragged the blade across Chloe's collarbone."Ah!" Chloe gasped as a line of deep crimson bubbled to the surface of her skin."Sarah!" Michael roared, his visio

    Michael shuddered violently, his voice laced with suppressed anguish."That was an accident... I know I owe your mother a debt I can never repay in this lifetime. I'll make amends. "I'll buy her the finest resting place. Outside of my own life, I will give you anything you ask for...""Anything?" Chloe suddenly reached back and unzipped the collar of her gown in front of everyone.Her back was covered in a network of twisted, horrifying scars."Take a good look, Michael. How do you plan to repay me for these?"Michael's breath hitched instantly. The sheer agony in his chest nearly made him lose his balance.Silence fell over the room. Michael grabbed a baseball bat from a sports memorabilia display near the wall. Swinging it brutally, he hit his own knee!A sickening crack echoed and he collapsed heavily onto his knees. Overcoming the excruciating pain, he raised the bat with trembling hands and offered it to Chloe."I... I will pay you back. Chloe, if you're in pain...

    Chloe held the bouquet of flowers with her fingertips trembling slightly.Her mind raced as she looked down at herself.She had escaped a sham marriage and suffered a forced abortion, leaving her broken in mind and body. Did someone like her really deserve Julian?In the end, she shook her head gently."Julian, thank you. But I'm... I'm really not ready to start a new relationship."The light in Julian's eyes dimmed for a moment. But he quickly regained his gentle, understanding smile."It's alright, Chloe. I told you, I can wait. These flowers simply represent how I feel right now."It has nothing to do with whether you accept me or not. They suit you tonight. You look beautiful."Just as that tender, bittersweet moment hung in the air, the heavy doors of the hall were pushed open.A dark figure appeared in the doorway. He radiated a suffocating, violent presence. It was Michael James.Michael had been forced to delay his departure after Sarah's escape.He had mobiliz

    Chloe's heart leaped into her throat and her grip tightened instinctively around her phone."Don't worry!" Maya added quickly. "I won't say a single word! Chloe, I'm so sorry... I was such a fool..."Hearing the genuine remorse in Maya's trembling voice, Chloe felt a soft nudge of emotion in her chest.Ever since the truth came to light, Maya had been helping her in every way possible.It felt like an act of penance.Maya stayed up all night compiling the legal materials against Michael.She used every contact in her network to push the scandal to the top of the news feeds.Maya wasn't inherently malicious; she had simply trusted Sarah blindly.She was deceived by a misplaced sense of gratitude.Chloe let out a quiet sigh and spoke from the bottom of her heart, "Maya, thank you."Maya froze on the other end before her voice suddenly cracked with tears. "Have you really forgiven me?""Yes."Maya sobbed for a long while before finally regaining her composure. "Chloe, you ha

    Chloe sat on a bench inside the administrative office building at the university.As Chloe was rummaging through her purse for her identification documents, a diamond ring tumbled out.She froze for a moment before remembering that she had taken off her wedding band right before boarding her flight. It had slipped into an inner pocket and she had completely forgotten about it.The ring was priceless. Years ago, Michael had spared no expense at an auction to secure a rare pink diamond.He commissioned a European master jeweler to hand-craft it over several months.Engraved on the inside band were their initials, M.J & C.J., one of a kind in the world.On the day he proposed, Michael dropped to one knee and held up the ring.He said with deep tenderness, "Chloe, for the rest of my life, you are my one and only."She had cried tears of joy back then.She believed this unique ring was proof of how deeply he cherished her.Looking back now, it felt like the ultimate mockery.
