My Wife Came Home Pregnant After Her Vacation — Then I Discovered Why She Expected Me to Raise Another Man’s Child
Chapter 3
The next morning, I contacted my attorney.
His name was Marcus Reed.
He had handled my business contracts for twelve years.
When I explained the situation, he didn’t judge me.
He simply asked:
“Do you have evidence?”
“Not yet.”
“Then don’t confront her again.”
“Why?”
“Because if she’s planning something, she’ll change the evidence.”
I nodded.
Marcus arranged a private paternity test using a sample I had legally obtained from myself and information from Claire’s medical paperwork.
But before anything could happen, Claire surprised me.
She came home holding a folder.
“We need to talk.”
I looked up.
“What happened?”
“The baby’s father is unstable.”
I froze.
“What?”
She sat down.
“There was someone before you.”
My heart stopped.
She started crying.
“I never wanted this.”
I stared at her.
“Who?”
She refused to answer.
“Just understand that I’m trying to protect you.”
“Protect me from what?”
“From the truth.”
I almost laughed.
“You’ve already told me you’re pregnant.”
She looked down.
“I don’t know what the baby will need.”
I felt cold.
“What are you saying?”
Then she did something unexpected.
She pulled out an unsigned legal agreement.
It would make me legally responsible for the child even if I later discovered I wasn’t the biological father.
I looked at her.
“Where did you get this?”
“From my lawyer.”
“So you want me to sign it.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
She started crying.
“You promised you’d take care of the baby.”
“I promised nothing.”
She stared at me.
Then her tears stopped.
Her expression became cold.
“You’ll regret this.”
She walked away.
I looked at the agreement again.
This wasn’t about love.
This was about legal responsibility.
Claire wanted me trapped before I knew the truth.
And I finally understood.
The pregnancy wasn’t the only secret.
There was a plan behind it.
