Billy thought he was an only child raised by loving parents, until a DNA test revealed he had a brother named Daniel. Shocked, he confronted his dad, who claimed Daniel was the result of an old affair and begged him not to tell his mom. But Billy’s gut told him there was more to the story.

Curious, he reached out to Daniel, who insisted they had once lived together as kids until a house fire killed their parents. Billy dismissed it at first, believing he wasn’t adopted. But Daniel’s details about the fire planted doubt that Billy couldn’t ignore.

Digging through his father’s office, Billy uncovered documents proving the fire had indeed happened—and that his adoptive parents once owned the building. Their negligence caused the blaze that killed his biological parents. To hide their guilt, they adopted him, not out of compassion but to protect themselves from lawsuits.

Heartbroken, Billy packed his things and left. He moved in with Daniel, realizing his entire life had been built on lies. Though devastated by the betrayal, he found solace in reconnecting with the brother he never knew he had, finally discovering the truth about where he came from.
