A single email changed everything. I remember staring at my computer screen, the words blurring together as my heart pounded. The results of the DNA test weren’t just numbers or a curiosity—they were a bombshell. My life, everything I thought I knew, was about to unravel.
My name is Billy, and until a few days ago, I thought I was living a dream life. I’m an only child, raised in a loving home where my parents gave me everything I could ever want. My dad was the kind of guy who’d buy me the latest gadgets just to see me smile, and my mom was always there with warm hugs and encouragement.
Last week, Dad surprised me with a brand-new gaming console, just because.
“What’s this for?” I asked, grinning from ear to ear.
