Wayne's face turned deathly pale and the phone dropped to the floor immediately.

He clenched his fists so hard than he ever had.

His heart was racing so hard and he was beginning to feel hot under his clothes.

How could Simon not be his father?

Could there have been a mistake in the readings?

He trusted Mark must have carried out the job religiously well.

Was he really not a Costa?

“Wayne? Are you okay?” Loretta noted the drain of colour from his face.

He stared down at her and swallowed hard.

"I. . . I'm-"

For the first time, the Almighty Wayne Costa stuttered.

He was really shaken.

As he was thinking of what to say, Aleena picked his phone from the floor. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you suddenly look so pale?”

“Paternity results?”

Wayne looked up when she gasped.

“Give that back!” A muscle ticked in his jaw.

But before he could reach her, Gary had snatched the phone and had a look at the screen. “You had a DNA test with Simon Costa?” He faced his mother in shock.

Andrew fired another shot at them.But this time, instead of hitting Wayne, the bullet hit Leslie in the shoulders and she slumped to the floor in shock."Andrew!"Andrew stored at her, mouth agape.Wayne took advantage of his shock and hit the pistol right out of his hands.
