When a mysterious woman showed up on my doorstep with a baby in tow, my seemingly perfect life unraveled in ways I could never have predicted. Little did I know, this encounter would set off a chain of events that would expose secrets, shatter trust, and redefine my world.
So, it was just another lazy Saturday. I was at home doing chores after a long working week. My husband Jack was supposedly off on a business trip in another city, so I planned to spend the weekend chilling all alone.
But just as I was loading dirty laundry, somebody knocked on the door. “Oh, the grocery delivery is early today,” I thought. But as I opened the door, I found a woman with a baby on my doorstep.
“Yes. How can I help you?” I replied, my curiosity piqued.
“I don’t know how to tell you this but I’m afraid I have to,” she said, her voice trembling slightly.
“Uhm, okay. You can go ahead. What do you need?” I asked, trying to stay calm though my heart was beginning to race.
“Right. Yeah, so, my name is Lisa, and this little one here is Jack’s baby.”
I was stunned. I mean, just imagine my shock. My brain went haywire, trying to process this bombshell. Of course, I was hungry for details. Besides, she was standing at my doorstep carrying a baby, so I had to be courteous.
“I ran into Jack about two years ago,” Lisa began, her eyes welling up with tears. “We met at a conference, and it quickly turned into something more. I thought he was the one. He always told me he was single, that he was just too busy for a relationship until he met me.”
My heart pounded as I listened, every word like a dagger. “How did you find out about me?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
Lisa looked down at the baby and then back at me.
