🔐 AMBER FINDS SHAYLA’S SECRET ABOUT KAI — AND IT HOLDS THE FINAL TRUTH

AMBER FINDS SHAYLA’S SECRET ABOUT KAI 

In a dusty old closet, buried beneath boxes no one was ever supposed to open, Amber discovers a secret that changes everything about Kai’s identity, Shayla’s deception… and Anthony’s entire world.

💔 CHAPTER 1: A PROMISE TO STAY AWAY

Amber had promised herself—and Anthony—that she was done with the drama. Done with Shayla. Done with lies. She had packed her things, moved to her cousin’s in Atlanta, and started rebuilding.

But something kept pulling her back.

Late at night, she would think about Kai. Not the DNA, not the courtroom chaos—but the boy himself. The innocent child stuck in the crossfire. And deep down, something didn’t sit right with her.

The letter she had anonymously sent Anthony wasn’t the whole truth. She knew it. And she suspected Shayla was still hiding something worse.

So when Cocoa called one morning and whispered, “I found something in Shayla’s old apartment. You might want to come see this…” — Amber didn’t hesitate.

📦 CHAPTER 2: THE CLOSET NOBODY OPENED

Shayla had officially moved out of the apartment weeks ago, leaving a key with the landlord and her mess behind. Cocoa had offered to help clean up for the deposit. But when she opened the closet in Kai’s old nursery, she found a dusty storage bin taped shut, marked in thick red ink:

"DO NOT OPEN — PRIVATE."

It had Amber’s name written all over it.

By the time Amber arrived, Cocoa was pale.

Cocoa: “I didn’t open it. I figured if anybody should see it, it’s you.”

Amber peeled off the tape. The air smelled like mothballs and old perfume. Inside: a stack of folders, photographs, receipts, and a leather-bound journal with "S.W." etched into the front.

📖 CHAPTER 3: THE JOURNAL

Amber sat on the carpeted floor and opened the first page. Shayla’s handwriting was messy, emotional — not the polished version she always presented.

June 2019
“I told Kelvin the baby wasn’t his. I lied. I couldn’t let Anthony find out. Not again. I already lost his trust once — I won’t survive losing him for good. But it wasn’t just Kelvin… and that’s the part I can’t say out loud. I did something terrible. Something I’ll carry forever.”

Amber’s breath hitched.

Not just Kelvin?

She flipped the page, heart racing.

July 2019
“I told the nurse at the clinic to mark the chart under Anthony’s name. The real file is buried under a different ID. But the dates don’t match. I’m scared. What if the father isn’t Kelvin… or Anthony?”

“What if… it’s Marcus?”

Marcus?

Amber’s eyes widened. Marcus was Shayla’s old flame — someone she swore was “just a mistake from the past.” No one had seen him in years. He was the one man Shayla said she never wanted to talk about again.

Amber flipped again, but half the pages were torn out. Some were burned on the edges.

🧾 CHAPTER 4: THE HIDDEN FILE

Beneath the journal was a folder marked "CONFIDENTIAL – New Beginnings Clinic." It contained medical records — ultrasounds, appointment notes, and a patient info sheet that didn’t say Shayla Washington.

It said:

Name: Nia Carter
DOB: 02/11/1990
Emergency Contact: Marcus J. Fields

Amber blinked. This was Shayla’s alias. She had used a false name at the clinic to register a pregnancy. That meant…

The official DNA tests were based on the wrong birth records.

Amber realized with horror that Shayla had created an entire shadow identity to manipulate the results.

🤯 CHAPTER 5: A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND SECRETS

At the bottom of the bin, wrapped in tissue paper, was an old Polaroid.

Shayla. Marcus. A positive pregnancy test. Her hand on her belly. A date written in Sharpie: "April 3rd."

Amber’s hands trembled.

That date didn’t match the timeline Shayla gave in court. In fact, it proved Kai was conceived months earlier than everyone thought. Before Shayla even reconnected with Anthony or Kelvin.

It was Marcus.

All along, it was Marcus.

📞 CHAPTER 6: THE CALL THAT HAD TO BE MADE

Amber knew what she had to do.

She took photos of everything — the journal pages, the clinic records, the Polaroid — and sent them to Anthony’s lawyer, Dean, with a single message:

“I have proof Shayla lied. This isn’t just fraud — it’s identity manipulation and paternity concealment. You need to reopen the case.”

Then she called Anthony.

He didn’t answer.

So she left a voicemail:

“I didn’t want to be in this anymore. But you deserve to know. Kai isn’t yours… and he isn’t Kelvin’s either. Shayla made sure no one could trace it back to the real father. But I found him.”

“His name is Marcus Fields. Look him up. Then call me back.”

🔥 CHAPTER 7: WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

As Amber sat back in stunned silence, phone buzzing nonstop with messages from Dean, one final thought chilled her:

If Shayla went this far to hide the truth…

What would she do now that it’s out?
