71 - The results

Sebastian was in the hallway of the best clinic in the city waiting for the results of the paternity tests.

Just a few hours ago he had not imagined ending his day this way, for a moment he had thought it would be an unforgettable day with Helena, that he would wake her up with breakfast, they would eat in bed, then they would make love all day saying over and over again how much they loved each other.

But no, he was in a white, neat, clean-smelling hallway that was killing him.

He hadn't wanted to go back to the house next to Katlyn until he knew the truth, he'd rather sit there for 5 hours on the sidewalk until they gave him the papers, and so he did.

He had Katlyn's gaze on him constantly, not looking down for a second, which prevented him from picking up the phone and calling or texting Helena and not that he had been able to think much about that either, as only the fact that at any moment a doctor would walk out that door and tell him if he was a father or not was going through his mind. Either answer would open a new path in his life. He couldn't have been less nervous.

He had been surprised that Helena hadn't called him, she should be awake by now and he began to think that she would probably be angry at his unannounced departure, he didn't blame her, but he would explain everything that had happened.

Because they had promised each other that there would be no more secrets between them.

Yes, there would be, whatever the outcome, Helena was going to hear it from his mouth.

Katlyn picked up her own cell phone, she hadn't been able to stop crying for a single moment, feeling like crap, the worst of them all, glancing sideways at Sebastian, she checked that he wasn't looking at her, she wasn't surprised that her husband wasn't looking at her, he had been for hours looking at his own feet, as if in a trance.

She texted Alan, knowing she had no one else to talk to. She hadn't even told her friends what she had done, she was afraid they would cut her face, she couldn't stand it.

"I'm with Sebastian at the clinic, getting our paternity test. Your brother is sterile."

She gave him send, knowing it would be equally disconcerting news for him.

But all he replied was.

"Relax, it's going to be okay."

Katlyn read and reread the message over and over.

Wasn't he worried that the truth would come out?

At that moment it dawned on the blonde that the one in the most danger was her, Alan had nothing to lose, the relationship with his brother was already broken years ago.

She cursed herself for the day she thought it would be a good idea to go to her brother-in-law's house.

A nurse came out of the analysis room.

-Mr. and Mrs. Aller?

-Yes, that's us," the young woman answered in a trembling voice, quickly taking the studies.

-Katlyn, give me the papers," ordered the man, who had waited long enough.

-Not until we are at home, I don't want you to see them here, this is not a private place.

Sebastian saw in the blonde's look that she was serious, he snorted and walked in front of her until they reached the car, during the whole trip they were silent, without uttering a sound. Each in their own thoughts that were gnawing at them.

Finally they arrived at the cold, empty home, and Katlyn began to cry inconsolably with the papers in her hands.

-I'm one hundred percent sure it's positive.

-Then why are you crying," the CEO said cruelly, but she did not respond.

Sebastian took the papers and opened the envelope carelessly, Katlyn stood next to her husband, not wanting to miss the moment of truth, praying inside.

Sebastian ignored the long text that was on the paper, going straight to the result that was highlighted in capital letters and bold.

"PATERNITY RESULT: 100% INCOMPATIBLE."

-One hundred percent?" exclaimed the blonde indignantly, "It can't be!

-What do you mean it can't be?" shouted the young man losing his patience, "You tricked me Katlyn! What did you expect me to say?

-I don't understand!" he shouted, losing his sanity.

-That you don't understand!

-That I slept with Alan! With your brother! There was supposed to be some compatibility!

Sebastian was shocked, with his wife's words echoing over and over in his head.

"I slept with Alan. I slept with Alan."

-Honey...- she said in a softer voice, desperately trying to make her husband hear her- Alan I don't like, I never wanted him, I did it because we weren't being able to have children! I was desperate! And he offered!

Sebastian laughed sarcastically, hurting the blonde's heart.

-You're so naive.

-What are you saying?

-Alan always wanted you! You practically gave yourself to him on a platter to fulfill his wish! And you fell for it! And you ruined everything! I congratulate you!

-I ruined everything!" he shouted, losing his patience, "Don't play innocent, if I'm guilty, you're guilty too.

-What are you talking about?" he asked indignantly.

-You say I'm naive, but I'm anything but that, honey," he said threateningly approaching the CEO, "I know very well what you have with your bitch of a secretary!

Sebastian was about to protest, but the blonde didn't let him speak.

-And don't give me some stupid excuse! I'm not going to swallow them anymore! I made you go on!

-What are you saying?

-The detective saw you, Sebastian! He saw you going into that slut's house!

Sebastian, who was red with anger at the betrayal, not only of his wife, but of his brother, his own brother had slept with his wife, did not want to keep quiet, he did not want to lose.

Full of anger he shouted:

-You don't understand, all this time I did it for us!

-Thank you for sleeping with her, I really appreciate it! And also for getting her pregnant before me!

-That baby isn't mine! That I'm sterile!" he spat red as a tomato, feeling a severe headache from so much screaming.

The blonde looked at him in confusion.

-I rented her womb.

-What?

-What did you want me to do? -Buy a child? You know it's not legal in this country I had no choice! The clause time was coming up I had to do something or we'd be out on the street, plus there was your bankruptcy which is now mine too!!!!

Katlyn was speechless, she didn't know what to do or what to say with the news.

All that time she had been planning this without telling him?

-Sebas...

-No... Stay away...

-but love

-Don't touch me, don't call me love....

Sebastian grabbed his car keys.

-Where are you going?" he asked fearing to lose him forever.

-To kill Alan," he said, slamming the door shut.
