The Story Starts Below

Tommy took a deep breath as he nervously entered the hospital room; his tiny legs automatically carried him to the source of everyone’s attraction — his baby sister. 

 

His parents had just welcomed a new baby girl, but little did the 8-year-old Tommy know that the words that were about to come out of his mouth about his sister would destroy his family… and their lives would never be the same again.

 

What did the little boy say to his father that pushed him to make a huge decision? Find out next

The Dad Already Had a Hunch That Something Was Wrong

Tommy's dad, Henry, was completely stunned. “Did my son really just say that? Or is he hallucinating?” he thought, looking for any signs of humor or mischief on the little boy’s face… but Tommy seemed dead serious.

 

Tommy had just confirmed Henry’s biggest fear — a hunch he had had for a long time. 

 

A nightmare for the family was about to begin…

How Did The Little Boy Know That?

Henry gazed at his wife Andrea, who was peacefully asleep on the hospital bed — doubt was slowly taking over him. He questioned every small act of love she had shown him, struggling to believe what he had just learned. 

 

To make matters worse, his son seemed to know the details about her secret. And as he looked at Andrea’s face, anger consumed him.

 

In a moment of rage, Henry was about to make a regretful decision…

What Could Inspire a Divorce?

Once Tommy's father confirmed what his son told him, he realized he had no choice but to end his marriage. 

 

Henry knew how much the decision would hurt his family — especially his two children — but he also knew that staying in the marriage would be equally destructive. After all, how could he ever forgive her for what she had done?

 

Next: What exactly had Tommy revealed that caused such distress to his father?

Little Boy Tried To Hide His Mother’s Secret… But Not for Long

The energy in that hospital room had suddenly shifted. What was meant to be a joyous moment for the family turned into a nightmare that Henry couldn’t shake. 

 

He was preoccupied with other more disturbing thoughts than the arrival of his new daughter. Worse, Tommy knew a secret his mother was desperately trying to hide. 

 

Henry could not help but look at his wife with utter disdain.

Henry Begins Gathering Evidence Against His Wife

As a local politician of many years, Henry knew best not to believe everything he heard — especially if it came from an 8-year-old boy. In a smart, calculated move, he started collecting evidence against his wife. 

 

Andrea was still asleep, recovering from childbirth, so Henry knew that he didn’t have much time to blow the lid off her secret.

 

Deep down, he wanted to be wrong; but he was about to discover some shocking evidence…

Henry Decided To Speak to His Son Alone

Once the doctors had administered all the tests to confirm that his newborn daughter was in good health, Henry began to contemplate his next move. He decided to take Tommy home so that he could get some rest.  

 

Once alone, Henry seized the opportunity to ask his son about what he had mentioned earlier.

 

Was Henry about to find out the truth about his wife?

Probing Questions on the Way Home

As they sat together in the car, Henry carefully began the conversation. “Son, do you feel proud of your mommy?” Henry asked in a casual tone. The boy responded with a tired nod because he was still recovering from the long night. 

 

“Has there ever been a moment when you didn’t feel proud of her?” Henry subtly probed further.

 

Tommy turned his head to look at his father as if he knew exactly what Henry was asking.

New Tactics Required

Puzzled, Tommy looked at his father before lowering his head. He shifted in the seat uncomfortably, trying to hide his nervousness. 

 

“What’s on your mind right now?” Henry asked softly. “Nothing,” Tommy lied, looking down at his feet — almost as if he was too scared to look at his father.

 

The boy appeared to have something on his mind yet was hesitant to speak up.

A Strange Call

Exhausted, Henry dozed off on the couch after putting his son to bed. However, his nap was cut short when the hospital called, telling him that his wife inquired about him. 

 

Worried, Henry asked the doctor if anything was wrong, but the physician reassured him. Andrea had her own motives for reaching out to him.

 

Next: What tactics will Andrea use to ease her husband's mind?

Andrea Knew About Henry’s Suspicions

Tommy’s words were still echoing in Andrea’s head, and she knew they had raised Henry's suspicions too. 

 

“What is he thinking right now?” she wondered, looking around the empty hospital room. She reached for her phone and dialed Henry's number. 

 

Andrea had a trick that had worked on Henry before, and she was confident it would work again.

Henry Rushes to the Hospital

Henry burst inside the hospital room, alarmed by Andrea’s call. He sat at the edge of her bed and touched her forehead. 

 

“What’s wrong?” he asked softly, still panting heavily from sprinting across the hospital lobby. He momentarily forgot about her transgressions, and the warmth returned to his eyes as he searched Andrea’s face for answers.

Andrea’s Plan to Distract Her Husband

Andrea looked at her husband, teary-eyed, and told her how scared she felt after waking up and not finding him by her side. She squeezed his hand between hers, giving him a nervous look. “Does he know what I’ve done?” she wondered.
Andrea knew that the longer he stuck around, the more likely she would be to get caught. “When are you planning to go back to work?” She asked quietly.

Henry Played Along

She knew how stressful her husband’s job was as a politician — the city council needed him, and he couldn’t afford to stay away for long.

 

However, Henry read between the lines and knew his wife only wanted him away from Tommy. Henry felt that Andrea was doing this to avoid getting caught. 

 

He wasn’t going to let her get away with everything so easily…

Henry Decided to Play a Game With His Wife

Henry decided to play along and assured her he would return to work soon. Andrea’s expression eased, pleased with his response. “Everything under control,” she reassured herself.

 

To fool Andrea, Henry made sure to go to his office while she was recovering. He had recently become the new deputy mayor and had to be present to uphold his new position. 

 

But little did Andrea know that her husband was working on a different plan…

Henry Brings His Son to the Office With Him

To give Andrea time to recover, Henry brought Tommy to work with him and had his assistant Julia look after him.

 

Henry's assistant, Julia, was great with kids, so she enjoyed caring for Tommy at the park. Henry was careful not to tell her about his suspicions, so she had no clue that his family was about to be torn apart.

Julia Knows More Than She Is Leading On...

Henry had an unwavering trust in Julia's honesty and integrity. He was confident that if he confided his worries and doubts to her, she would listen without bias or condemnation. 

 

Little did Henry know that Julia had a big secret that was about to change the way he thought about her. 

 

Next: Julia does something unexpected that makes Henry questions his trust in her.

Henry Gets His Assistant’s Help to Uncover the Truth

One day after Julia and Tommy returned from the park, Henry pulled her aside to talk privately. Although he didn't divulge everything, he encouraged her to gain Tommy’s trust so that he could disclose his mother’s secret to Julia. 

 

Without asking any questions, Julia agreed to help Henry, which was strange for Henry because his request was an unusual one.

Busy Days at the Office

Henry didn’t know if his plan would work, but he believed in Julia. Returning to the office after a  long break meant he would need to spend a lot of time catching up on the work. 

 

He often didn’t have time to check up on Tommy or have lunch with him, but that gave Julia the opportunity to become closer to the young boy.

 

One day he found a note on his desk from Julia that she had taken Tommy to the hospital to see his mother.

Why Did Julia Take Tommy to the Hospital?

Henry felt frustrated and stressed out when he found a note from Julia informing him that they had gone to the hospital to visit Andrea. 

 

He didn't want Julia to leave his side at work, and this news made him even more upset. However, the news soon turned in his favor.

 

Next: A phone glitch leads to a shocking discovery…

Henry’s Call to Julia Leads to a Shocking Discovery

Henry picked up the phone and dialed Julia’s number. He wanted to tell her to return to the office immediately when the line connected; all he could hear was static noise on the other end. “Hello? Hello? Julia, can you hear me?” He spoke frantically into the phone.

 

As he listened, Henry picked up on Andrea's voice in the background, and he quickly understood that Julia was about to solve a huge mystery for him.

"Henry Can Never Find Out"

As he quietly listened to Andrea's voice, he realized the timing was perfect. His wife's words were clear, "Henry can never find out." 

 

She was determined to keep her secret hidden, but Henry knew he had heard enough. He got into his car without hesitation and headed to the hospital. 

 

He had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

Frustrating Moments

As Henry was driving towards the hospital, he found himself entirely consumed by anger. He missed a crucial meeting that could have a significant impact on his role as the deputy mayor, all because of his wife. 

 

Henry also could not help but feel sympathy for Tommy. Despite his unintentional involvement, the child's actions had inadvertently caused this big mess.

Finally, Seeing Tommy

Henry arrived at the hospital and saw Julia and Tommy in the lobby. She was startled to see him because she still had no idea Henry was listening in on their conversation over the phone. 

 

Henry walked over to them with a purpose and told Julia to return to the office immediately. “Let’s go, Tommy,” Julia looked at the little boy sitting beside her.

 

“No, Tommy will stay with me,” Henry said sternly.

Time To Confront Andrea

Julia briefly objected but ultimately realized there was no point in arguing. She said goodbye to Tommy and left. 

 

As Henry led his son upstairs, he knew a difficult and unwanted confrontation awaited him, but he was more prepared than ever. 

 

Next: Find out what happened to the father-son duo at the hospital.

The Moment of Truth

Tommy was completely clueless about the situation. He couldn’t understand why Henry sent Julia away or what he wanted to speak to Andrea about.

 

Nevertheless, he remained silent and held onto his father's hand tightly. As they approached the hospital room, Henry’s heart started racing.

 

The little boy was completely unaware of the events about to unfold before his eyes…

Would Tommy Believe His Mom Or His Dad?

Henry struggled to control his emotions as he walked across the hospital lobby. He felt furious about his wife’s betrayal, but he knew he needed to be cautious with his words — for Tommy’s sake. 

 

Henry knew Andrea could deflect conversations skillfully and make herself look like the victim. He had seen that side of her one too many times.

 

He wondered if Tommy would believe him or his mom…

Andrea’s Secret Get Exposed

As soon as Henry and Tommy entered the room, the expression on Andrea’s face changed from confusion to horror. Julia had just been in her room with Tommy; why was he back?

 

Andrea shook off her nervousness and Henry a big smile. Henry was in no mood to reciprocate her affectionate gesture. 

 

“I need to talk to you about something important,” Henry said. There was a tinge of coldness in his voice that sent chills down Andrea’s spine.

No More Nonsense

Henry told Andrea to drop the act, but she acted like she had no idea why Henry was so furious. "I know you and Julia are hiding something from me. I heard it with my own ears!" he shouted.

 

Andrea pretended to look confused and chuckled nervously, "It's really not what you think it is!".

 

She tried to convince him that he was imagining things, but Henry had had enough…

Will Andrea Tell the Truth?

Andrea explained that she was planning a surprise for Henry, but now he had ruined everything. This statement caught him off guard, and he briefly questioned whether he had imagined the situation. 

 

However, he quickly reminded himself not to be fooled by Andrea's attempts at appearing innocent. Henry needed solid evidence, something that she couldn't explain away.

 

Next: Is Andrea making an excuse or telling the truth?

Not the Perfect Time

With Tommy in tow, Henry returned to work. He faked an apology to Julia for his abrupt behavior — he knew that whatever Andrea was hiding from him, Julia was in on it. 

 

He needed to make Andrea believe that he fell for her excuse, which was crucial to his plan's success. Surprisingly, she accepted his explanation without any hesitation.

 

What were the two women trying to hide from him?

Waiting for the Right Moment

For the next few days, Henry carefully monitored his wife and assistant's activities. Andrea had been discharged from the hospital and was spending her days taking care of their new baby and Tommy.

 

Henry maintained his regular work routine and waited patiently for the right opportunity. He needed to catch his wife in the act.

 

And the opportunity he was looking for came earlier than he expected…

Time To Catch Her in the Act

Fortunately for Henry, the ideal opportunity presented itself sooner than he expected. One day while getting ready for work, he discovered that his car’s Bluetooth was still linked to his wife's phone. 

 

Even better, she was conversing with Julia on the phone at that exact moment. Henry simply leaned back and listened in on their conversation.

 

He was about to find the clues he was looking for all along…

Was Henry’s Assistant Plotting Something Behind His Back?

Andrea told Julia that wanted to see her that afternoon. Julia agreed and said that she would make some excuse at the office and leave around 12 p.m. to meet her at the agreed place.

 

Henry was even more shocked when Julia's told Andrea that this would be the ideal time because he would be attending a meeting and he wouldn't notice her absence.

 

What's the special connection between Andrea and Julia?

A Private Meeting

Henry was completely taken aback by the situation. He couldn't fathom why Julia was meeting his wife behind his back. The conversation only left him with more questions than answers.

 

Henry knew what he had to do. He decided to cancel the meeting he had scheduled so he could find out what the two women were up to.

 

Next: What are Julia and Andrea hiding from Henry?

Waiting Game

Henry was consumed with anxiety as he waited for the afternoon. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of whether his divorce would go through or if his wife really had planned a surprise. 

 

He found it difficult to concentrate; all he could think about was what Tommy had said in the hospital. "I know my little boy wasn't wrong... I just know it," he reassured himself.

 

He was still reeling from the conversation he overheard between his wife and Julia.

The Truth Always Comes Out

As the clock approached half past eleven in the morning, Henry informed Julia that he was going to take an important meeting and didn’t want to be disturbed for the next couple of hours. 

 

She nodded and promised to keep anyone from interrupting him. However, just before noon, Henry noticed Julia departing, signaling that the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Henry Follows Julia and Finds an Unexpected Surprise

Henry noticed Julia leaving the office and quietly opened the door to follow her. He hastily put on his jacket and trailed her until she reached her car. 

 

He kept a safe distance of two cars behind her to avoid being noticed, especially because Julia knew his vehicle so well, and surprisingly, Henry remained undetected.

Waiting for the Right Opportunity

Henry parked his car down the street from a quiet restaurant outside of town where Julia had driven to. He was careful not to be seen by her and watched her closely before getting out of his vehicle. 

 

Henry wondered why they seemed very cautious and almost looked like they didn't want to be caught.

Making Sure To Not Get Caught

Henry went behind the restaurant after getting out and saw Andrea's car parked in the lot. He realized they would spot him immediately if he walked in through the front door. 

 

Therefore, he decided to explore the back entrance to find a way in. Henry was smart enough to bow his head as he walked. 

 

Next: Will Andrea and Julia notice the politician as he spies?

Taking A Peep

Henry found out there was a direct path to his destination through the kitchen, but instead of taking it, he circled the restaurant once more, peering through the window. 

 

That's when he spotted Andrea and Julia sitting at the bar, facing away from him. He figured if he could enter swiftly, he might be able to avoid their notice.

Entering The Snake's Den

Henry hurriedly entered the restaurant and was relieved to find that the door didn't have a bell that would make noise.

 

He chose a booth situated close to Julia and Andrea, allowing him to eavesdrop on their conversation.

 

However, just as Henry was about to order a drink, a third person joined them at their table.

Someone Mysterious

The tall man's arrival prompted the women to smile. Henry noticed that the person resembled Julia, who embraced the guy and called him "Dave." 

 

Dave expressed his happiness at seeing Julia, whom he referred to as his sister. Henry's curiosity was even more tickled upon hearing this, particularly because both women seemed to know the man well. 

The Real Identity

Henry was surprised by what he heard Dave say. While kissing Andrea on her cheek, the man referred to her as "Andy." 

 

This surprised Henry because he knew only the people closest to her called her by that nickname. He didn't know what to make of the situation.

 

He knew something sinister was cooking between the trio.

Dave And Andrea Alone

As Julia stood up to leave, Henry quickly turned the other way to avoid being noticed. Luckily, his assistant didn't see him on her way out of the restaurant. 

 

Once Andrea and Dave were alone, it became evident that there was more to it than just friendship. In fact, Andrea’s hand was stroking Dave's leg; Henry felt a sharp pang of anger in his chest.

 

Next: What does Henry find out that will push him over the edge?

Feeling Betrayed

Henry felt he couldn't handle the situation anymore but decided to stay a little longer, trusting his intuition. He made the right decision because Dave kissed Andrea only minutes after Julia left. 

 

Henry quickly took a photo with his phone, intending to show it to his lawyer. He was determined not to let Andrea get away with this.

The Hard Truth

Henry took a photo and then approached Andrea, who quickly composed herself and pushed Dave away. The politician cleared his throat as he caught his wife off guard. 

 

Andrea was surprised to see him and asked why he was there. Henry revealed that he suspected something when he overheard Tommy talking about his new sibling.

The Real Father

Andrea was taken aback when she saw her husband appear out of nowhere. She had been so careful not to get caught and couldn't believe that he had found out about their secret meeting.

 

But the truth was that ever since Henry heard Tommy say that his baby sister looked like their "other daddy" in the hospital, he had been trying to find out the truth.

 

Dave was just as surprised that he was the biological father.

Painful Divorce

Henry left the restaurant immediately and went to his lawyer's office. He had requested the divorce papers a week before so that he could end his marriage quickly if he did find out something.

 

Henry knew he made the right decision to prepare the documents early on. Once he got them, he drove back home.

Taking Custody

After he signed the papers, Henry placed them on the kitchen counter. Without wasting any time, he packed his and Tommy's belongings before they went to a hotel where they would stay until things were finalized.

 

Once the divorce was finalized, the father-son duo moved back home while Andrea and her daughter stayed with Dave.

All's Well That Ends Well

Henry fought for Tommy's full custody, which was granted to him. The father agreed that Andrea could see the child on the weekends, but she didn't get anything else.

 

Andrea and Dave later tied the knot and welcomed two more kids. Through time, Henry learned to forgive his ex-wife, and he went on to find love anew.
