Newborn Sarah had her father’s nose – a fact confirmed by DNA testing after Alex’s humiliating public accusation. What the paternity test didn’t show was that while I’d been faithful, he’d been sleeping with his coworker since my second trimester.
His family’s threats during the testing process showed me their true nature. When the results came back positive, Alex’s relief quickly turned to panic as I presented screenshots of his affair. The judge had little sympathy for a man who demanded proof of loyalty while giving none.
Now Sarah and I live in the home her father paid for, with child support ensuring she’ll never want for anything. Sometimes the tests we impose on others become the measure of our own failures. Alex wanted certainty about Sarah’s paternity – he got it, along with an empty apartment and a court order.
