Chris’ parents had always disapproved of Amanda, quietly plotting to end the relationship. So when Amanda shared her pregnancy news over dinner, his mother lashed out, claiming he was infertile. Blindsided and shaken, Chris believed the lie and walked away. Amanda was left standing in silence—pregnant, hurt, and alone.
Chris left with only a note, convinced she’d betrayed him. Amanda tried calling, writing, even showing up once—but the door never opened. She decided she’d raise baby Paul on her own, no matter the pain. Her strength grew, not from bitterness, but from a fierce love for her child.
Meanwhile, Chris’ parents pushed him toward Ciara, a woman they’d always preferred. But months later, Chris stumbled upon messages between Ciara’s father and his own—revealing the medical report had been forged. The betrayal hit him harder than any heartbreak. He realized too late what he’d lost chasing his parents’ approval.
Chris knocked on Amanda’s door one rainy evening, trembling with remorse. She stood still, holding their son—his eyes a mirror of Chris’. Amanda didn’t forgive him right away, but she let him in. And Chris vowed to be the father his parents had never let him become.
