Confronting Geoffrey
“We need to talk,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady as we sat across from each other in his office, the smell of polished wood mixed with his expensive cologne stinging my nostrils.
Geoffrey looked up from his laptop, his expression bemused. “Talk? About what? The quarterly projections?”
“No, about you and Leah. I heard everything,” I stated, forcing the words out past the lump in my throat.
“Oh, come on, Allison. It was just a joke, nothing serious,” he laughed, waving a hand dismissively.
My heart sank. “A joke? You told her Percy would inherit everything. You think that’s funny?”
“You’re reading too much into it. She’s a friend, that’s all,” he replied with a casual shrug, but a flicker of unease crossed his eyes.
“A friend? Geoffrey, this goes beyond friendship,” I shot back, frustration clawing at my insides.
He leaned back in his chair, expression hardening. “You’re being dramatic. I control the company. You think anyone will believe you?”
My chest tightened. “I have evidence, Geoffrey. Financial records that prove you’ve been siphoning money into personal accounts. I will expose you if I have to.”
His dismissive laugh echoed in the sterile room. “You don’t know how this works. You’ll lose. I’ll win in court. You’re out of your league.”
I felt the walls closing in. The power I’d thought I had slipped through my fingers like sand, leaving only desperation in its wake. “You underestimate me,” I whispered, feeling smaller than ever.
The DNA Test
After that suffocating confrontation, I spent the evening in a haze, my heart racing with unresolved fury and despair. I needed clarity—a concrete answer to the nagging doubts that consumed me. I decided to take a DNA test.
“I’ll reach out to Clara,” I muttered to myself, pulling out my phone. Clara was the only friend I could trust, someone who wouldn’t ask questions.
Dialing her number, I paced the floor, the carpet prickling underfoot. “Clara, I need your help. A private matter, and I can’t trust anyone else.”
“What’s going on, Allison?” she asked, her voice full of concern.
“It’s about Geoffrey and Percy. I need to confirm something,” I replied, my heart pounding as I spoke.
“Okay, just send me the details, and I’ll figure it out.”
As I hung up, I felt a surge of determination. This was my chance. I rifled through a drawer, looking for a pen, but instead found an old photo. My breath caught.
In the picture, Geoffrey stood with Leah, arms draped around each other, both young and carefree in their college years. Their smiles were so real, so intimate. A chill ran down my spine.
My hands trembled as I slipped the photo back into the drawer, fear boiling inside me. What if Percy truly wasn't Geoffrey's? What if everything I thought I knew was a lie?
Just then, the sharp ping of an email notification sliced through the tension in the air. I froze, my heart racing as I opened it. The results were here.
Before I could even scan the page, the door burst open. Geoffrey stood there, eyes wide. “What are you doing?”
His face turned pale, and I felt exposed and vulnerable, like the life I thought I had was unraveling before me.
