After I Torched 24

Chapter 24 

Nathan found out the truth the next day. The DNA test confirmed what should have been obvious from the startOliver was his son. But by then, it was too late

I found him sitting on the sofa, disheveled and broken, Oliver’s photograph in his hands. The picture was from my luggage, a photo of Oliver smiling, his eyes wide and bright. Eyes that looked exactly 

like Nathan’s

I stood in the doorway, watching him. His shoulders slumped, and for the first time in a long while, I saw the man I had fallen in love with, hidden beneath all the pain and betrayal. But it didn’t matter anymore. The damage was done. The trust had been shattered beyond repair

Nathan sat slumped in the armchair, his unkempt beard and disheveled hair making him look like a man who hadn’t seen the light of day in weeks.

confirm” 

Confirm what?I interrupted, my voice laced with contempt. That it wasn’t your child? That you weren’t cheated on? So what if the test came back negative? You didn’t want to marry inwa 

He shook his head vehemently, his hands still clutching my skirt as if he could hold onto the last shred of hope. No, Grace, you don’t understand. I was terrified that if the baby really was Issca’s
