Why couldn’t he just come to terms with the truth? Tessa found herself grappling with a whirlwind of confusion and frustration. How could Dale still harbor doubts about what her mother had so clearly stated? It was as if he was trapped in a fog of disbelief, refusing to see the light.
“Dale,” she said, her voice tinged with exasperation. “But she… gave birth to you.”
His voice rose slightly, a mix of desperation and determination. “The paternity test already clearly shows you are my daughter!”
Tessa fell silent, her mind racing yet her words caught in her throat. The weight of his insistence left her momentarily speechless, unable to articulate the storm of thoughts swirling within her.
“You have a twin brother! I’m his daughter,” she finally managed to assert, though doubt lingered in her heart.
Dale’s response was immediate and firm. “I do not.”
His conviction felt rock-solid, and Tessa could see the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. It was as if he was trying to convince himself as much as her.
“Fine,” she snapped, frustration bubbling to the surface. “I’m not discussing this with you anymore. You should go check on your crush.”
They had already danced around the topic of her supposed twin brother, and he had dismissed her claims without a second thought.
With a resolute push, Tessa opened the door, revealing Lewis lounging against the wall, smoke curling lazily from his cigarette. He lifted his gaze at her entrance and quirked an eyebrow. “Is the pestering done?”
Tessa shot him a look that spoke volumes, a mix of disbelief and irritation.
See? Even Lewis recognized the annoyance Dale was causing her.
Dale’s expression darkened as he registered Lewis’s words. The atmosphere shifted palpably, tension crackling like electricity in the air.
“You should leave,” he said, his voice low and menacing.
Lewis met Dale’s gaze, unfazed, but there was a flicker of caution in his eyes.
Dale’s face turned ashen, his mind racing with thoughts of Victor’s men. He knew what they were capable of; if they ordered him to leave and he refused, the consequences would be dire.
With a heavy sigh, Dale stood up, resignation etched on his face. As he passed Tessa, he paused, locking eyes with her. “Stepfathers are often vicious. You’re an adult now; I hope you understand the stakes involved.”
Lewis walked Dale out, the tension lingering like a thick fog in the air.

Finished
In the elevator, the silence was palpable.
Lewis glanced sideways at Dale, attempting to lighten the mood. “Actually, you don’t need to worry. With my big brother around, no stepfather could ever abuse my sister-in-law. You don’t need to worry about that.”
Dale’s breath quickened, a mix of irritation and disbelief flooding his senses. “You…”
Lewis continued, unfazed by Dale’s reaction. “What’s more important right now is who Sister-in-law’s mom is happier with.”
Dale was nearly seething with anger, his temper reaching a boiling point. “You think this is a joke?”
Lewis shrugged, a casual grin on his face. “I’m not great at comforting people, but you’ve just been too depressing lately. Wake up, you’re fated to have no descendants.”
Dale stood there, speechless, a storm of emotions roiling within him. Was this what Lewis considered comfort? The words felt like daggers aimed straight at his heart.
His fury ignited, Dale staggered slightly, grappling with the intensity of his feelings.
Just as he exited the elevator, Victor returned, encountering Lewis mid-ride. “What did you say again? He looked that angry?”
Dale had tripped while getting into his car, and Victor couldn’t shake the image of his devastated expression from his mind.
