Maya: fidgeting Can we talk? About... the test?
Atored
What test?
whispers The DNA test. I need to know if he's truly your husband.
Atored
I'm not married. I'm been with her since I was 15.
narrows her eyes Don't lie to me, Atored. I've seen the way she clings to you. How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
Atored
look at her, she's about to give birth. she's in labor right now.
takes a deep breath, composing herself Well, maybe it's time for her to face the truth. You owe me that much, don't you think?
Atored
I owe you? I owe you nothing. she is my wife. she was my wife long before you came along.
leans in closer, whispering Atored, I understand that she was your wife before I came along, but let's be real.
Atored
what do you mean?
raises an eyebrow What do I mean? I mean that you've been neglecting her, ignoring her needs and desires.
Atored
she's been my wife for 8 years. I have done nothing wrong to her.
smirks Oh, really? Then why does she look so miserable all the time? Why does she always have tears in her eyes whenever you're around?
Atored
oh. I know. she wants more of my attention. something I can't give right now. she knows that. she told me she'll wait till we get back home. she's a good woman.
leans back, crossing her arms A good woman, huh? That's a laugh. If she were so good, she wouldn't have needed me to come along and save her from your neglect.
Atored
she didn't need you. I would've found a way to help her without you.
rolls her eyes dramatically Help her? Please, Atored, don't make me laugh. You were completely oblivious to her plight, and now she's left to suffer alone.
Atored
she's pregnant with my child. she wanted to wait till the baby was born before she confronted you. I agreed. I knew it would hurt you. I didn't want you to leave me again.
Atored reveals a shocking family secret that could change everything
Atored
look at this.
grabs the paper from Atored's hand, quickly scanning through it What is this? A paternity test? You did a paternity test behind my back?
Atored
yes. the day you left. just before you left, she gave me the test. she asked me to give it to you if we ever met again. she said, "tell her the truth."
pauses for a moment, her eyes widening in shock Tell me the truth? Oh, how ironic. It seems that she knew all along, didn't she?
Atored
she knew I was your baby's father even though you never slept with me?
throws her head back and laughs Oh, honey, it's not about sleeping with me. It's about the connection, the bond that you and I share.
Atored
she says it doesn't matter. we're not together anymore.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Not together anymore? Oh, how convenient for her. But let me ask you something, Atored.
Atored
what?
leans forward, poking Atored in the chest What happened to that baby, huh? Did she get rid of it? Or did she give it to someone else to raise? Because I can guarantee you one thing - I will never forgive you if you hurt that child.
Atored
she gave birth naturally. she named him Jai. she didn't invite me to the birth. she didn't want me there. she didn't want me to see how weak she was during childbirth.
clenches her fists, her voice filled with determination Well, Atored, it's time to make some decisions. First and foremost, I want to see that child.
