Rushing forward, Mr. Winchester tightly embraced Michael, tears streaming down his face. In the midst of this emotional outpouring, Michael, still bewildered and seeking clarity, questioned, "What's happening? Who are you?"

Struggling to compose himself, Mr. Winchester whispered through sobs, "My son."

Michael's eyes widened, "Your son?"

Mr. Winchester nodded, tears welling up, "I found you. After all these years of searching."

Confusion etched on Michael's face, "I don't understand. Can anyone explain what is going on here?"

A mix of joy and sorrow painted Mr. Winchester's expression, "You're my missing heir."

The weight of those words hung in the air. Michael, caught off guard, sought more answers. "Missing heir? What are you talking about?"

However, Mr. Winchester, overwhelmed by the unexpected reunion, couldn't provide the explanations Michael desperately sought. 

The room echoed with revelations, leaving both men entangled in a moment filled with unanswered questions and the raw emotions of an unforeseen family reunion.

In the heart of the emotional revelation, Mr. Winchester, still overwhelmed with joy, began apologizing to Michael repeatedly.

"I'm so sorry, my son," he uttered, his words filled with emotion.

However, the apologies left Michael puzzled, prompting him to question, "Why are you apologizing? What is happening?"

Sensing the need for clarification, Mr. Charles interjected, "Sir, Perhaps, before we proceed, it would be wise to consider a DNA test. Just to be absolutely certain."

Mr. Winchester, though convinced of the connection, faced with the gravity of the situation, hesitated.

"I'm certain he's my son. The birthmark, the resemblance—it can't be a coincidence."

Mr. Charles, advocating for certainty, persisted, "It's a small step to clear any doubts, Mr. Winchester. Let's take the DNA test to be sure."

After moments of contemplation, Mr. Winchester sighed, relenting, "Fine, let's do it. I want to be absolutely sure."

The decision to undergo a DNA test filled the air. 

As the decision for a DNA test pended, Mr. Winchester kept quiet, leaving Michael utterly confused. In a jumble of thoughts, Michael mumbled to himself, trying to make sense of the swirling questions in his mind.

"How is this possible?" 

He questioned softly, the bewilderment seeping into his voice.

The conflicting narratives of his orphanage upbringing and the sudden revelation of a wealthy father clashed in his mind.

The echoes of the orphanage staff's words resounded—stories of a mother relinquishing him, claiming his father's demise, a tale stamped into his memory. The abrupt revelation of Mr. Winchester as his father created a dissonance, stirring a confusion within him.

"Was I lied to all these years?" Michael pondered, the weight of his past colliding with the unexpected truth.

The DNA results held the promise of clarity, yet the mystery of his identity persisted, leaving him in a state of confusion.

Michael couldn't hold back the flood of questions swirling inside him. 

Once the family doctor finished taking the samples and left, Michael turned to Mr. Winchester with a direct gaze.

"Come on, I need some answers. Why did you say the DNA test was just a formality?" 

Michael asked, his voice was filled with confusion.

Mr. Winchester sighed, his eyes showing a mix of relief and sadness.

"Michael, I've known all along that you're my son. The DNA test is more of a confirmation for others."

Michael's confusion grew, and he pressed for more details. 

"But why? Why did my mom leave me at the orphanage, and why did they say you were dead?"

"Your mom, Mary, and I were engaged. She must have left you at the orphanage because she couldn't handle raising you alone after I disappeared," Mr. Winchester explained, his tone carrying the weight of past regrets.

Michael's eyes widened as he took in this new information.

"Disappeared? What happened?"

Mr. Winchester hesitated, struggling with the painful memories.

"I was falsely accused of a crime I didn't commit. I had to go into hiding to clear my name. I never stopped looking for both of you."

Michael, still processing the truth, shared the version of his past shaped by the orphanage. 

"They told me you were dead and that my mom couldn't take care of me. I thought I was on my own."

Mr. Winchester placed a reassuring hand on Michael's shoulder. 

"I'm so sorry, Michael. The orphanage lied to you. I've been searching for you and your mom all these years."

Michael, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, finally grasped the extent of the falsehoods that had shaped his life.

In the heavy silence that followed the revelations, Michael couldn't help but worry about his mother. 

Looking into Mr. Winchester's eyes, he asked, "And my mom? Where is she now?"

Mr. Winchester's expression turned somber, and he sighed deeply. 

"The day I disappeared was the last day I saw her," he confessed, sadness evident in his eyes.

"Why did you leave her?" Michael inquired, his voice a mix of confusion and pain.

Mr. Winchester explained, "I was wrongly accused, and I had to go into hiding to clear my name. It was the toughest decision of my life, and I regretted leaving her every day. But it was something I had to do."

Still trying to grasp the weight of the truth, Michael questioned, "I had always thought she was an irresponsible mother, and that was why she left me at the orphanage?"

Mr. Winchester shook his head, a deep sense of remorse in his eyes.

"No, Michael. Mary Wayne was the most loving and caring woman I've ever known. Life was tough for her even before we met. Without me, she wouldn't have been able to take care of you. She did what she thought was best for you."

Empathy swelled within Michael as he absorbed the truth about his mother. 

"Do you think she's still alive?" he asked, a glimmer of hope in his voice.

Mr. Winchester paused, uncertainty clouding his expression. "I'm not sure, Michael. But if she's out there, I'll find her with my last breath. I promise you."

Micheal breathed heavily, uncertainty in his eyes.

    “I did that?” Diana gasped. She was trying to make it sound as if Michael was lying against her or something, but Michael remembered clearly. Even though it got on Michael’s nerves that she was trying to play tricks on him as though he didn’t know what he was saying, he still tried to be calm while he spoke to her.“You must be mistaken; I never really did that to you. Maybe you mistook me for someone else. I could never hit someone like you,” she said, trying to caress Michael’s chin shamelessly with her finger, and then Michael smiled gracefully and slowly brought her hand down.“No, I am not mistaken, Diana. We are not friends, and I don’t think that we would ever be friends. As you can see, I am trying to eat, so I will appreciate it if you can let me eat, please,” Michael said with a smile on his face, and Diana frowned.

    Michael stood shivering his bones out with blood spilled all over his face and the gun he once pointed against somebody’s head now pointed in the air.To their greatest dismay it was Mr Jones that was shot by Arturo’s men. “Yo-you shot your own man?” Mr Winchester asked in disbelief. He could have instructed them to shoot Michael instead if he wanted, but he chose to order for his own man’s execution. “Yes I did, I was going to kill him anyways. His life ended the moment he let my sister to be killed by you and your men. I did not just expect his death to be this quick, your son false my hand,” Arturo responded coldly.There was no need for the gun in Michael’s hand anymore; his hopes of using the gun to escape died with Mr Jones.
