Chapter 7

Author: Perfect Timing
When I brought up Lily, Sasha froze, then went quiet.

That smug, manic look vanished.

I kept going. "She'll be raised by your grandparents. Same as you. She'll turn into you.

"She'll grow up broke, getting yelled at, hit—just like you. But she won't get lucky. There won't be another me to help her.

"She's spoiled and restless now. She'll probably drop out by middle school, end up in some factory, fall for some loser, get pregnant too young, and spend the rest of her life—"

"Shut up!" Sasha

    After I dealt with Lily, I hired a crew to pack up Wesley's stuff and dump it.When I got home, he and Caroline were in the living room.A few days in detention wrecked him. He looked done. Stubble everywhere. He smelled sour."What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in jail?" I pinched my nose, voice dripping with mockery.Caroline's face went dark. "I bailed him out. Go tell the police it was all a misunderstanding. You were just being paranoid. Or he's going back."Wesley started pleading. "Maya, I messed up! Sasha came onto me! She said you'd never find out!"I stared at him, cold, while he begged.Once a cheater gets caught, he starts begging and swearing he'll change. Means about as much as hot air.Their nerve stunned me. I dropped my hand and slapped him.He stared at me like he couldn't believe it. I shook out my numb hand. "That's for hitting me at the hospital. Wesley, did you forget who you are? Who gave you everything you have?"Back then, he moved to my city b

    My chest hurt so bad I could barely breathe.Before we came, the police had already checked Wade—a drunk, gambler.He bought a little girl because he couldn't have kids. His wife? Driven off years ago.Before this, I kept wondering how she was living.When I saw her on the ridge, she looked fine. I'd quietly let out a breath.Now, seeing those marks, my chest twisted.I rushed at Wade and slapped him as hard as I could. "Just wait. This isn't over."That night, I took her home, bathed her, bought her new clothes.The next day, I brought her to the hospital to see Mom.After that last emergency surgery, Mom made it. With a heart stent, she was doing a lot better.Once the DNA results came back, the truth was obvious.I'd already told my parents I'd pick up Leah first, then bring her to see them.The second I stepped into the hospital room and saw Lily, I frowned."What are you doing here?"My voice turned ice-cold.Lily shrank behind my dad. "After you left, I had nowhere

She'll probably drop out by middle school, end up in some factory, fall for some loser, get pregnant too young, and spend the rest of her life—""Shut up!" Sasha snapped, eyes filling with pain.The picture rattled her. She started shaking. "You raised her that long. She's your kid too. You can really watch her live like that?"I let out a laugh. "Yeah. Her existence is a mistake. She's a bastard. Turn yourself in, confess, and you'll be out before she finishes middle school. You can still save her."That broke her. She grabbed her hair, face twisting.Tears poured down. "Call the police. I'll talk."Using the address given by Sasha, I went with the

    "It was him!" Sasha yelled. "He said Maya acts all superior. So what if she's an only child? She deserved payback! Every day he'd tell me how well Maya treated my daughter, then laugh at her for being stupid. I've got the chats!"She yanked out her phone, trying to hand it over.Wesley lunged for it—got slammed to the ground."You're insane! What are you even saying? Don't frame me!"Then he twisted toward me. "Maya, she betrayed you once. She'd frame me too. Don't believe her!"I pressed my temples, drained.My legs gave out. Keira caught me just in time.It felt like a giant hand crushing my chest, squeezing the air out.When I first suspected Lily wasn't mine, I never once doubted Wesley.At first, I thought it was just a mix-up at birth.When I brought up a DNA test, he said I was overthinking—but he still went along with it.As Lily got older, she looked less and less like me.The doubt grew. Wesley kept brushing it off, said I was imagining things.Then I told Keira.

    Sasha and Wesley went ghost pale, shaking hard.Wesley moved first. He grabbed my hand. "You still don't trust Sasha? Every test says the same thing. Quit embarrassing yourself. Let's go home and talk."I yanked free, voice sharp with sarcasm. "You called the reporters, didn't you? Spent days making me look crazy. Dragged them here to blow it up online. Congrats—you got what you wanted."I faced Sasha. "So explain this. Why do these reports not match the hundred tests you handled?"Her face drained. Her legs buckled, and she hit the floor. "No! You faked them! It's so easy now!"Like she'd grabbed a lifeline, she spun to the reporters. "This woman's crazy! I'm her closest friend—why would I hurt her? Her husband's with her day and night. He knows her best. Even he says she's insane!"The reporters nodded."Exactly!""These can be faked! The first hundred tests said they were mother and daughter!""Who knows if she made these?"The mood flipped. A smug smile slid onto Sasha's

    The results came out fast.Sasha held the report, voice steady. "Maya, I watched them run it myself. There's no way it's wrong. You need to come to your senses. Go home and make it up to Lily. She's been terrified these past few months."I crossed my arms and didn't take it. I stared her down. "Nothing wrong with it? You willing to stake your career on that?"She froze. Then she glanced at the cameras, her face turning hurt. "Don't take this out on me. I swear on my integrity."Wesley stepped in front of her. "Maya, you've gone too far. How can you accuse Sasha like that? Just because the results aren't what you want, you take it out on her?"He flipped the report open. Didn't even look—just threw it at my face.I caught it, frowning.Bold black letters: biological relationship.A reporter snatched it from my hand and passed it around.Everyone around me looked at me with pure disdain."I told you. Ninety-nine tests, and every one said the same thing. How would this be any di
