“Based on the timelines and the DNA samples provided… all three of you are carrying children from the same biological father — but it is not Mr. Mendoza.”
Ricardo’s face turned deathly white as the horrifying realization hit him.
He had not been the only man in their lives during that trip.
The charming, elegant 69-year-old millionaire had been played — by all three women.
Valeria stood up suddenly, her hands shaking. “I… I need air.”
Ximena laughed bitterly. “So we all got pregnant… but none of us got the rich old man?”
Mariana looked at Ricardo with pure contempt. “You were just the distraction. The safe, generous older man who paid for everything while we…”
She didn’t finish the sentence. She didn’t need to.
Ricardo sat motionless in his expensive leather chair, staring at the three women who had flown across the ocean carrying babies that were never his.
The retirement trip he thought would be his grand final chapter had become the most expensive, most humiliating mistake of his life.
And the worst part?
He still had to tell his adult children that their father had been sleeping with three women at the same time… and still ended up with nothing to show for it.
