Lahat ng Kabanata ng The 100th Test Snitched: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

I didn't hold back. While Wesley wasn't looking, I scooped her up and ran.Downstairs. Into the car. Engine on before he even made it out.I checked the rearview.Wesley was chasing us. Reporters right behind him.I hit the gas.In the back seat, Lily's tears were gone. Her eyes turned cold."Mom, even if you do a hundred tests, it won't change anything. I'm your daughter."A smug smile curled on her lips.I said nothing. I cut across lanes.The older she got, the more something felt off.It started with a kindergarten physical. Her blood type came back A.I'm O. Wesley's B. No way she could be A.I called the school. They said it was a mistake.Later, I took her to the hospital myself. This time, it came back B. Wesley kept saying I was just stressed, overthinking it.That night, Lily walked into my room with a knife.I'm a light sleeper. I jerked awake. "What are you doing?""Mom, can you just die?" Her voice was soft, almost sweet—but it cut cold.I flipped on the l

The results came out fast.Sasha held the report, voice steady. "Maya, I watched them run it myself. There's no way it's wrong. You need to come to your senses. Go home and make it up to Lily. She's been terrified these past few months."I crossed my arms and didn't take it. I stared her down. "Nothing wrong with it? You willing to stake your career on that?"She froze. Then she glanced at the cameras, her face turning hurt. "Don't take this out on me. I swear on my integrity."Wesley stepped in front of her. "Maya, you've gone too far. How can you accuse Sasha like that? Just because the results aren't what you want, you take it out on her?"He flipped the report open. Didn't even look—just threw it at my face.I caught it, frowning.Bold black letters: biological relationship.A reporter snatched it from my hand and passed it around.Everyone around me looked at me with pure disdain."I told you. Ninety-nine tests, and every one said the same thing. How would this be any di

"It was him!" Sasha yelled. "He said Maya acts all superior. So what if she's an only child? She deserved payback! Every day he'd tell me how well Maya treated my daughter, then laugh at her for being stupid. I've got the chats!"She yanked out her phone, trying to hand it over.Wesley lunged for it—got slammed to the ground."You're insane! What are you even saying? Don't frame me!"Then he twisted toward me. "Maya, she betrayed you once. She'd frame me too. Don't believe her!"I pressed my temples, drained.My legs gave out. Keira caught me just in time.It felt like a giant hand crushing my chest, squeezing the air out.When I first suspected Lily wasn't mine, I never once doubted Wesley.At first, I thought it was just a mix-up at birth.When I brought up a DNA test, he said I was overthinking—but he still went along with it.As Lily got older, she looked less and less like me.The doubt grew. Wesley kept brushing it off, said I was imagining things.Then I told Keira.

My chest hurt so bad I could barely breathe.Before we came, the police had already checked Wade—a drunk, gambler.He bought a little girl because he couldn't have kids. His wife? Driven off years ago.Before this, I kept wondering how she was living.When I saw her on the ridge, she looked fine. I'd quietly let out a breath.Now, seeing those marks, my chest twisted.I rushed at Wade and slapped him as hard as I could. "Just wait. This isn't over."That night, I took her home, bathed her, bought her new clothes.The next day, I brought her to the hospital to see Mom.After that last emergency surgery, Mom made it. With a heart stent, she was doing a lot better.Once the DNA results came back, the truth was obvious.I'd already told my parents I'd pick up Leah first, then bring her to see them.The second I stepped into the hospital room and saw Lily, I frowned."What are you doing here?"My voice turned ice-cold.Lily shrank behind my dad. "After you left, I had nowhere
