A DNA test shattered the life I thought I knew. Staring at the results, I refused to believe it, but deep down, I knew the truth—everything had changed.
I’m Billy, and until recently, I believed I had the perfect life as an only child, cherished by my loving parents. But after turning 18, I took a DNA test for fun, only to discover a shocking truth: I had a brother, Daniel. Confused, I confronted my dad, who admitted to having an affair but insisted I keep it from my mom.
The next day, I met Daniel, who revealed a deeper secret: we weren’t just half-brothers. A fire had taken our biological parents, and I had been adopted by the people I called Mom and Dad—owners of the building that burned down. My adoption was a cover-up for their guilt.
Devastated, I left the only home I had ever known and found solace with Daniel. In the midst of betrayal and pain, I discovered something true: the bond with my brother, who had been waiting for me all along.
