My Wife Came Home Pregnant After Her Vacation — Then I Discovered Why She Expected Me to Raise Another Man’s Child

Chapter 6

I didn’t return home.

Instead, I rented a small apartment under my business name.

Claire believed I was staying with a friend.

I stopped responding to emotional messages.

When she demanded meetings, I asked her to communicate through lawyers.

She became desperate.

Then she made a mistake.

She sent me a message at 2:14 a.m.

Julian says we have to move faster.

Three seconds later, she deleted it.

Too late.

I had already saved it.

Marcus sent it to a forensic specialist.

The message metadata confirmed it came from Claire’s phone.

We now had evidence of communication between Claire and Julian.

Then Julian called me.

“Daniel.”

I said nothing.

“You’ve made a mistake.”

“What kind?”

“You walked away from your wife.”

I almost laughed.

“My wife?”

“She’s carrying your child.”

“No.”

Silence.

“You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I know exactly what I’m talking about.”

Julian became angry.

“You should think about your reputation.”

There it was.

A threat.

I recorded the call.

Then I said:

“Tell Claire I’ll sign whatever paperwork she wants.”

He became silent.

“Really?”

“Yes.”

I could almost hear him smiling.

“That’s the smart decision.”

I hung up.

Marcus looked at me.

“You have them.”

“Not enough.”

“What else do you need?”

“The money trail.”

We froze every business transaction we could legally challenge.

Then we waited.

Three days later, Claire transferred money from a joint account.

Straight to Julian.

The amount was large.

And it happened immediately after I agreed to sign the legal agreement.

We had them.

But I still wanted the truth about why they thought the child gave them access to my fortune.
