My Husband Demanded a DNA Test in the Delivery Room, then My Father Stepped In

The Price of Greed

Thomas adjusted his crumpled black suit, his face red with humiliation. He glared at the older man who had just thrown him across the room.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Thomas spat. "This is private family business. Get out before I call the police!"

Richard slowly stood up, his towering frame casting a shadow over Thomas.

"I am her father," Richard said, his tone icy and resolute. "And if you touch her or my grandson again, the police will be the least of your worries."

Thomas blinked, stunned. He had known Jessica was estranged from her wealthy father, but he had never expected the man to show up, let alone defend her. In an instant, Thomas’s anger morphed into calculating greed. A sinister smile crept onto his face.

"Ah, the billionaire father," Thomas sneered, stepping closer. "So you’ve decided to play hero. Well, if you want me to walk away quietly and sign the divorce papers, it’s going to cost you. Five million dollars, or I’ll drag your family name through every tabloid in the country, claiming she cheated on me."

Jessica looked at Thomas in horror. The man she had loved was completely gone, replaced by a monster who was using their newborn baby as a bargaining chip.

"Don't give him anything, Dad," Jessica begged, her voice cracking. "Please."

Before Richard could reply, a senior doctor walked into the recovery room, holding a sealed manila envelope.

"Mr. and Mrs. Vance, the rush paternity test results you requested are ready," the doctor said, looking nervously at the tense group.

Thomas snatched the envelope from the doctor’s hands.

"Let's see if the billionaire is willing to pay for a bastard," Thomas laughed, tearing the seal.

He pulled out the document, expecting to find proof of Jessica's infidelity. But as his eyes scanned the scientific breakdown, the smug grin vanished from his face. He turned pale, his hands shaking so violently that the paper slipped from his fingers and fell to the floor.

"This... this is impossible," Thomas whispered, looking at Jessica with terror. "How is this possible?"
