Author's pov It was a massive shock for everyone at the party. It felt like one revelation after another. The crowd was truly stunned when Ava revealed that Tyler was dating Charlotte. As Ava disclosed the secret, it prompted Blenda, who was sitting with Harrison, to quickly nod her head and whisper in a low voice. "I knew it. The way she was laughing with her the other time I saw them in the bar was more than just a laugh. I sensed something was going on." As Ava's speech continued, Blenda, still angry with Harrison, kept muttering to herself and didn't pay much attention to what her daughter was saying. She felt completely satisfied. Harrison, feeling left out despite Blenda speaking softly, tried to contribute to her inner thoughts. He even reached out his right hand, trying to get her attention. Blenda swiftly pulled her hand away, giving him an angry look, and then turned her gaze towards Ava, who was carefully choosing her words to expose Charlotte. Just as Ava finishe

Ava's pov How long will this female doctor allow me to talk to my mum? Whenever I try to discuss things with her, she always says, "Please, don't speak. You need to relax and calm your nerves. You need it for your present situation.” Does this doctor really understand how I'm feeling right now? There are so many questions racing through my mind, and I need answers. Is Tyler not my biological father? It felt like a dream when Charlotte revealed it to the hearing of everyone. How did she come to know such information? And why would my dad or Tyler, whatever I should call him now, share such sensitive details and let Charlotte use it to mock me in front of everyone? If she truly cared about me, she would have told me as soon as she found out. This shows how deeply involved Charlotte and my dad are, if what she said is true. But hold on, will my mum's words be enough to satisfy me? She has always insisted that Tyler is my biological father. All I need is clarity, and only my mum

Luke's pov My secret had been exposed. When will I start? Will Blenda take me back into her life? Did she find out about my past and that's why she spent the night at her ex-boyfriend's place? It's been over ten minutes since I parked in front of my house, but I've lost all motivation to go inside. What's the point of going inside? My life is in shambles. The woman I love with all my heart for the first time has refused to let me into her house. Is this how those women feel when I reject their love? I feel a burning fire in my chest. It's hard to breathe properly. All I wanted was to talk to Blenda and beg her for not revealing these things right away when we started our relationship. If she had loved me then, she would have loved me for who I am. I took out my phone, intending to call my mum, but then the thought of calling Kate crossed my mind. "How did Blenda come into contact with Jane and Kate?" I said out loud without realizing it. Out of anger, I hit the steering whee

Charlotte's pov It has been two days since the party that I thought was meant to celebrate Ava's achievement but ended up causing a complete rift between us. I feel restless whenever I think about what happened at the party. Ava has been my best friend, and I don't want us to drift apart like this or I should be the one responsible for the breakup. I need to find a solution to resolve our unspoken disagreement. She won't even answer my calls. I'm concerned about her well-being, especially considering the emotional impact of finding out that Tyler isn't her father. She must be going through a traumatic experience, just like me. For more than twenty-three years, I have felt empty in my search for my real father and I think my mum has given up in the search. Ava is likely feeling the same way now. It's gotten to the point where I don't even feel like eating. All my thoughts were to make up with Ava. Tyler referred to the party and its aftermath as blessings in disguise and he said it

Ava's pov I was on my way to my grandparents' house when I realized that things weren't going well in my life. I tried to ignore it and blamed Charlotte for all my discomfort. But now I understand that it wasn't just her betrayal that was causing me unrest. As I had both hands on the steering wheel, I spoke the words out loud, "Where is Douglas, my boyfriend?"I fell silent and started reflecting on my life, starting from the event I organized to humiliate Charlotte and my son called foster father. That was the only time I saw Douglas. He had said he couldn't make it, but he showed up at the last moment. I didn't see him at the hospital, and he didn't call me when I was there. It's clear that I've been the one pushing our relationship forward. My slight negligence resulted in me not hearing from him. I decided not to call him and continued driving at a normal speed. But my tender heart couldn't stop thinking about him. I wished my heart could be as strong as it was towards Charl
