A DNA test upended Billy’s life. He’d always been an only child, doted on by his parents, until the test revealed a close match: a brother named Daniel. Shocked, Billy confronted his father, who admitted to having an affair years ago, but begged Billy not to tell his mother.
Billy reached out to Daniel, and they met, discovering shared memories from their early childhood. Daniel revealed that a fire had killed their biological parents, and Billy had been adopted to cover up the tragedy. Billy found documents confirming Daniel’s story—his adoptive parents had covered their tracks to avoid a lawsuit.
Devastated, Billy confronted his parents, packed his things, and moved in with Daniel, who welcomed him. Though his life had been a lie, Billy found solace in the bond with his brother, grateful for the connection despite the pain.
