At 18, Billy, an only child showered with love by his parents, took a DNA test out of curiosity. The results revealed a brother, Daniel, shattering his belief in his perfect family. Confused, Billy confronted his dad, who admitted to an affair but seemed to hide more. Doubting his dad’s story, Billy contacted Daniel, and they met at a café. Daniel, strikingly similar to Billy, revealed they were brothers who lived together until a fire killed their biological parents when they were young. Billy, adopted afterward, had been told nothing.
Shocked, Billy searched his dad’s office, uncovering documents confirming the fire and his adoption. His adoptive parents, the building owners, had ignored faulty wiring, causing the fire that killed his real parents. They adopted him to avoid a lawsuit, not out of love. Devastated, Billy confronted his dad, who couldn’t deny the truth. Unable to stay, Billy left to live with Daniel, who welcomed him warmly. Though his life felt like a lie, Billy found solace in reconnecting with his brother, grateful for the bond they could now rebuild.
