Mr. Rashford meant every word he said. The moment he got home, he instructed the maids to pack all of Rebecca’s things while he removed her name from all the assets he had given her.
He would strip her off of everything.
The betrayal. The humiliation. He would never recover from this.
All these years, he had spent his resources raising another man‘ s child. And the worst part? He couldn’t even take out his anger on Mr. Farleigh, he was untouchable.
Without hesitation, he called his lawyer. “Draft the divorce papers. I want them finalized by morning.”
Rebecca would get nothing.
And as for Serena, getting her DNA sample had been easy. Her toothbrush was
enough. It was already on its way to the lab.

That night was chaotic for the Rashfords. But for me, it brought an overwhelming amount of attention.
My inbox was flooded. Publishing houses, journalists, all eager for an interview. They wanted my story.
I was still scrolling through my emails when a knock at my door made me look
- up.
Mr. Farleigh

I smiled. “I’m fine. Tonight was… great.”
His brows furrowed. “Are you sure? Maybe it was a bit too much.”
“No, it was perfect,” I assured him. “They’ve done worse to me. All we did was bring the truth to light.”
He simply nodded, giving me a small, +
warm smile.

I just wanted to tell you something.” He exhaled before continuing.

“At the time, I didn’t know your mother
was married. I liked her a lot. But I also like
to be thorough, some things were not adding up, so I hired a private investigator.”
I nodded, waiting.
“That’s when I found out she was
pregnant with my child while still being married. Her husband had been abroad for a year, so the timeline didn’t add up. I confronted her, and, well… you know the rest.”
I glanced at him, a genuine smile tugging at my lips.
“It’s alright, I’m glad you’re my dad, however it happened,” I said with a smile.
His expression softened, and at that
moment, I pulled out the small velvet box I had been saving.

“This is for you,” I said, handing him the gift.
His eyes widened as he opened it; a limited–edition diamond watch. The design was sleek and elegant, perfectly matching
his taste.
“Wow,” he breathed, admiring it. “Lena, this is too much. Thank you. You are too kind.”
I shook my head. “It’s the least I can do.”
Then, shifting my gaze to the floor, I hesitated before speaking again. “And I also want to apologize… for my outburst the other day. You didn’t deserve that.”
“No,” he said gently, “I did deserve it. But what matters is that we’re happy now, okay?”
I smiled, everything was falling into place.

the incessant buzzing of my phone.
Still half–asleep, I reached for it and squinted at the screen.
News articles, social media posts,
scandalous headlines, all circling around the Rashfords.
But one headline caught my attention immediately.
“Infidelity Alert: Elite business man, Mr. Rashford just confirms both of his
daughters are not his.”
I bolted upright “Wait, what?”
Serena too?
It was an absolute scandal.
I could only imagine what would happen to Rebecca and Serena now. Mr. Rashford was ruthless when he wanted to be. His public image was his greatest pride, and he would make sure they paid for this.
Another headline popped up.

“Serena Rashford stripped of all inheritance.”
It was unfolding too quickly that I began to feel guilty for their misfortune.
Maybe if I had just moved on and insisted on not showing myself, they would still be okay till now.
I only wanted Zack to suffer. But ironically, he seemed to be the only one spared.
My phone vibrated again. This time, it was a call from an unknown number.
I hesitated but answered when the caller
persisted.
It was Serena.
Her voice was sharp, laced with fury and devastation.
“You think you’ve won right? How dare you tear our family apart?!” she yelled from the other end of the phone.
How could she blame me for any of that?
