He\u2019s mine. I\u2019ve had the DNA test results since Matthew was six months old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">I stared at the screen.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">The photo was of a medical file. It showed a sheet with a laboratory seal, full names, percentages, and signatures. I didn\u2019t understand all of it, but I did understand the sentence highlighted in yellow: \u201cPaternal biological probability: 99.99%.\u201d Alleged father: Sergio Alarcon. Minor: Matthew Alarcon Torres.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">I showed the phone to Daniel. My husband went even whiter.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">\u201cThen why did Alejandra text me that?\u201d he whispered.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Before I could answer, Sergio sent another message. \u201cBecause she wants Daniel to sign a paternity acknowledgment. Not out of love. For money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">I felt the kitchen go cold.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">The coffee was still on the table. The breakfast was getting cold. Outside, the morning routine of the neighborhood continued as usual\u2014a trash truck drove past, a neighbor was watering her walkway. But a massive fracture had just opened in my home.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Daniel sat down. \u201cI don\u2019t understand anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">\u201cWell, understand quickly,\u201d I told him, \u201cbecause if your ex is using a child as a bargaining chip, nobody in this house is going to play blindly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Sergio called. I put him on speakerphone.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">\u201cMariana?\u201d he asked. His voice didn\u2019t sound furious. It sounded exhausted. That worried me even more.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">\u201cThank you for sending me the screenshot. Alejandra took my phone last night. I barely just got it back because she stepped into the shower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Daniel leaned toward the phone. \u201cSergio, I knew absolutely nothing about this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">\u201cI believe you,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">That surprised me. \u201cWhy?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">Sergio let out a dry laugh. \u201cBecause she\u2019s done this before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">My skin crawled. \u201cWith whom?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"20\">\u201cWith my cousin. With a former boss. With an old college classmate. Every single time she needs money, she threatens to change Matthew\u2019s last name and tell the boy that another man is his real father.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"21\">Daniel buried his face in his hands. \u201cThen why are you still with her?\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"22\">There was silence on the line. Then, the sound of a plate moving in the background. \u201cBecause Matthew <i data-path-to-node=\"22\" data-index-in-node=\"101\">is<\/i> my son. And because she uses him to punish me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"23\">At that, my anger subsided a little. Not toward Alejandra, but for that little boy. Matthew was seven years old and already living in a house where the adults hurled his last name around like a weapon.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"24\">\u201cWhere is Alejandra right now?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25\">Sergio lowered his voice. \u201cIn the bedroom. She\u2019s packing a suitcase. She says she\u2019s leaving with Matthew and that Daniel is going to help her. She says if I don\u2019t sign over the deed to the apartment, I\u2019ll never see the boy again.\u201d<\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"https:\/\/xstorynews.com\/?p=16097\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING<\/a><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He just sent a photo.
