Chapter 10 - The Stranger at the DoorTwo days later, a man appeared outside our house.
Late thirties.
Dark hair.
Brown eyes.
He looked at Lily playing through the window.
Then he looked at me.
"Rachel Carter?"
"Yes."
"My name is Ethan Hale."
My heart stopped.
Grant came outside.
The two men stared at each other.
Ethan's expression was unreadable.
"I didn't know about Lily," he said.
Grant stepped forward.
"You need to leave."
Ethan didn't move.
"I found out three months ago."
"How?"
"Someone sent me the genetic report."
I looked at Grant.
He shook his head.
"It wasn't me."
Ethan reached into his coat.
He pulled out an envelope.
"I think someone wants us to believe the wrong story."
Inside was a DNA report.
Ethan was a genetic match to Lily.
But the report contained another name.
