I stared at him.

At the man who’d just confessed he loved me.

At the man who’d beaten his brother bloody in a clinic lobby.

At the man who was asking me to give up my freedom for safety.

“Amai,” I said quietly. “There’s something I need to tell you.”

He went still.

“During the insemination,” I continued, my voice shaking. “I overheard something. The nurse… she said something about two samples. I didn’t understand it at the time. I was new to all of this, and I just thought maybe that was normal. But now…”

I trailed off.

Amai’s face had gone completely blank.

“Now what?” His voice was barely a whisper.

“Now I think Kaisen might be telling the truth.”

The silence that followed was deafening.

Amai didn’t move.

Didn’t speak.

Just stood there, staring at me like I’d just driven a knife into his chest.

And then?—

He turned away.

Walked to the windows.

Pressed his palms flat against the glass.

His shoulders started shaking.

“Amai—”

“Don’t.” His voice cracked. “Just… don’t.”

I watched him.

Watched the way his entire body seemed to collapse on itself.

Watched the way his head dropped forward until his forehead rested against the glass.

“The one thing,” he said, his voice so quiet I almost didn’t hear it. “Theone fucking thingthat was supposed to be mine. That I?—”

He stopped.

His hands curled into fists against the glass.

“They took it from me,” he whispered. “My own family. They took the one thing I needed to prove?—”

His voice broke completely.
