Paternity Tested

Shadows cling to the elegant facade as Charles (Mr. Pete) steps up to the door of the sprawling house, his knock echoing like a guilty secret. Inside, Kelly (Jill Kassidy) has craved this reckoning her entire existence, her pulse racing as she flings the door wide, drawing him into the dimly lit lair. For years, she's stalked the ghost of her birth father, battered by liars and frauds who dangled false hopes. Her mother's death ignited a fiercer hunt, a raw ache for blood ties, yet dread coils in her gut—another heartbreak could shatter her. Charles exudes charm, but Kelly's instincts scream trap. No more grifters sniffing at her inheritance. She plays it cool, lobbing sly barbs to pierce his facade: When did you first taste my mother's lips? Where did you steal away for that illicit getaway? What vice made her moan in the dark? It's a tense duel, cat cornering mouse, her doubts swelling like storm clouds. His answers fit too neatly, slick as sin, setting off blaring warnings in her mind. The air thickens with electric suspicion, their stares locking in forbidden friction. Pushed to the brink, Kelly unleashes the accusation, demanding the raw truth—no more shadows, no escapes.
