🧬 Anthony Gets the Secret Letter Just Before the Final DNA Hearing 😱
It was the morning Anthony had been waiting for—the final DNA hearing that would settle, once and for all, whether Kai was truly his son. The courthouse was already buzzing with reporters outside, cameras ready to capture every second of the scandal that had consumed his life for months.
Anthony had dressed carefully: dark suit, pressed shirt, not a wrinkle in sight. He wanted to look composed, no matter what happened inside. But underneath that calm exterior, his stomach was in knots.
He was about to walk out the door when the mail slot clinked. A single envelope slid onto the floor.
✉ The Envelope That Shouldn’t Exist
Anthony almost ignored it—probably just more junk mail or another letter from his lawyer. But then he noticed two things:
-
It was handwritten, in rushed, uneven letters.
-
There was no return address—just his name: Anthony Carter.
Something about it made his heart race.
He tore it open. Inside was a single sheet of paper, folded neatly.
🖋 The Words That Stopped Him Cold
In shaky handwriting, the letter read:
Anthony,
By the time you read this, it might already be too late. You’ve been lied to—not just about Kai, but about why Shayla fought so hard to keep this case going.
The truth is… the first DNA test was right. Kai isn’t yours. But Shayla didn’t do this alone. Someone you trust—someone you see almost every day—helped her cover it up.
They’ve been feeding the court false evidence. Check the records from six months ago. Look closely at the signature on the second report.
You’ll see why I couldn’t stay silent anymore.
Don’t trust anyone until the hearing is over.
— A Friend
Anthony read it twice. Then a third time.
His mind spun—false evidence? Someone he trusted? The second report had been the one that made him doubt himself all over again… the one that gave Shayla a fighting chance.
🚗 The Race to Court
Anthony stuffed the letter into his jacket pocket and headed out, his heart pounding. He didn’t have time to figure out who had sent it—he had less than an hour before the hearing began.
In the car, he kept thinking of the people in his life: his lawyer, Wayne, even Amber. Could one of them have been involved? Or was this a setup to throw him off before the verdict?
⚖ The Hearing Begins
Inside the courtroom, the tension was thick. Shayla sat across from him, looking unusually confident. Her lawyer kept glancing at a folder on the table, as if it held the ultimate weapon.
The judge began with formalities, but Anthony could barely focus. His hand kept brushing the letter in his pocket, reminding him of the warning:
“Don’t trust anyone until the hearing is over.”
🧨 The Bombshell Move
Just before Shayla’s lawyer could present their “new supporting evidence,” Anthony stood up.
Anthony: “Your Honor, I request to submit a last-minute piece of correspondence into the record. I believe it has direct relevance to the authenticity of the DNA reports being used in this case.”
The courtroom murmured. Shayla froze, her confident expression slipping.
The judge allowed it. Anthony handed the letter to the bailiff, who delivered it to the bench. The judge read it silently, then raised an eyebrow.
Judge: “Mrs. Carter, do you have an explanation for why your opposing party has just received a letter alleging falsification of court evidence?”
Shayla’s lawyer tried to object, but the judge overruled him.
😱 Shayla Cracks Under Pressure
The questioning got harsher. The judge ordered a forensic analysis of the second DNA report immediately. Within minutes, an expert confirmed the signature on it was forged—and it wasn’t Anthony’s.
All eyes turned to Shayla.
Shayla (quietly): “I… I didn’t mean for it to go this far…”
Anthony stared at her, the betrayal hitting harder than ever. And then, from the corner of his eye, he saw Wayne—face pale, jaw clenched.
🧩 The Letter’s Hidden Clue
The handwriting on the letter… Anthony suddenly recognized it. Not Wayne. Not Amber.
It was Cocoa.
She had been silent for months, staying out of the drama. But now it made sense—she had seen something, maybe even been pressured to help, and this was her way of coming clean before it was too late.
📸 The Aftermath
The judge postponed the final decision, citing the need for a full investigation into evidence tampering. Shayla left the courtroom in tears, avoiding Anthony’s eyes.
Outside, reporters swarmed, asking Anthony about the letter. He said nothing, only gripping it tightly in his hand.
Because now, he had two battles:
-
Proving Kai’s real parentage once and for all.
-
Finding out just how deep Shayla’s lies—and her allies—went.
