Liora\u2019s world shattered at her husband Martin\u2019s funeral. As she left the cemetery, an older woman appeared, holding a baby. \u201cThis is Martin\u2019s child,\u201d the woman said. Liora froze. \u201cNo\u2026he\u2019d never do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shaken, she drove home with the baby and confirmed the truth with a paternity test: 99%. Martin had fathered a child with another woman\u2014Emily, a woman from their past. Determined to find the mother, Liora discovered Emily had died shortly after Martin\u2019s accident.<\/p>\n
Sitting with Denise, the older woman, Liora confessed a secret she\u2019d carried for decades. In high school, she had been heartbroken when Martin and Emily fell in love. Out of jealousy, she had lied about a pregnancy to pull Martin away. It had worked\u2014Emily left town, and Martin stayed. Liora had thought the past was buried.<\/p>\n
