| took a deep breath, knowing that the conversation would be far from easy. “I know about your affair with Stella,” | began, my voice steady.
Andy's face paled, and he seemed taken aback by my words. “What are you talking about?” he stammered..
| took a step closer, my fingers trembling as | gripped the edge of his desk. “You know damn well what I’m talking about, Andy. | know about you and Stella.”
He swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. “You’re going to have to be more specific.”
| met his gaze, my eyes unwavering. “Don’t pretend, Andy. | know about the affair, and | know that Stella’s baby may not be Timothy's.”
The silence in the room was heavy, as Andy seemed to process the gravity of my revelation. His face contorted with a mixture of emotions, including anger and fear. “How did you find out?” he finally asked, his voice filled with a hint of desperation.
| had no intention of revealing my sources. “That’s not important right now, Andy. What is important is that you and Stella need to take a paternity test for Scarlett.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Andy's eyes widened, his surprise giving way to a flash of anger. “And why should | do that?”
| didn’t waver, my voice firm. “Because Timothy deserves to know the truth, and he deserves to know if Scarlett is his daughter or not. You've been living with this secret for far too long, and it's time to come clean.”

Andy leaned forward, his anger intensifying. “Stella isn’t concerned about this, so why should | be?” 020% 13:3
My own anger flared as | spoke. “Because I’ve already exposed your secret to Timothy. He deserves to know the truth about Scarlett’s paternity. It’s
time to do the right thing. Andy.”
The tension in the room was palpable, as Andy seemed to grapple with the weight of my words. | could see the internal struggle within him, the fear of the consequences of his actions and the desire to protect his own interests.
As | stood my ground, Andy’s anger was palpable. He leaned forward, his eyes flashing with a dangerous intensity. “You don’t have the proof or the power to make me do anything, Evie,” he sneered. “Timothy may trust what you say, but what about the public? What do you have to actually show for these baseless accusations?”
| took a deep breath, my fingers trembling as | reached into my bag and produced a small thumb drive. The evidence was right there, in the form of digital photos that could expose the truth. “All it would take is a click of a button, Andy,” | stated, my voice resolute.
Andy's face contorted with rage as he looked at the thumb drive, his anger boiling over. “You should watch it with the threats, Evie, he warned, his tone menacing. “You're already on thin ice with my family, and | can make sure your name is permanently smeared.”
| held his gaze, unflinching in the face of his threats. “I'll be willing to risk it, Andy,” | declared, my voice steady. “Because things couldn’t get any worse than they already are.”
Andy's eyes narrowed, but he didn’t reach out for the thumb drive. “Let me see it,” he demanded.
| took a step closer to his desk but kept the thumb drive just out of his reach. “Not so fast, Andy. I’m not stupid. If you don’t agree, I'll expose

Andy's fingers drummed on his desk, and for a moment, | could see the turmoil in his eyes. He didn’t know if | was bluffing, and he couldn't afford to
take that risk. “What do you want, Evie?” Andy finally asked, his tone less aggressive. “| want you to take the paternity test, | repeated, slightly more impatient now.
Andy scoffed. “No. What do YOU want,” he emphasized, a sly smile tugging at his lips. “You don’t think | know what you're trying to get out of this?”
| didn’t flinch. “This is for Timothy’s sake. | have nothing to gain outside of humbling you.”
“Oh?” He leaned back in his seat, looking more sure of himself now. “Fine, let's say | took the paternity test. What makes you think your precious Timothy will come running to you when it’s all over? He’s out of your league, Evie.”
My voice trembled as | replied, “This isn’t about Timothy, Andy. It’s about doing what’s right. Whoever he chooses to be with is his business, but | won't let him get with a woman who will use him this way. | say that as his friend.”
Andy leaned forward, his anger resurfacing. “You're a fool, Evic. You think you can change the world? You're just an insignificant pawn in a much larger. game. You can’t win against someone like me.”
| took a step closer to his desk, my resolve unwavering. “Watch me, Andy. I'll do whatever it takes to ensure that justice is served. You may have power and influence, but | have something you'll never understand-integrity.”

His eyes bore into mine, and for a moment, | saw a flicker of doubt, “You're making a grave mistake, Evie. You have no idea what you're up against.
Time will tell, Andy,” | replied, turning to leave his office. | paused at the threshold, still considering his words for earlier. He wasn’t too unfamiliar with the idea of thinking about that special someone, even when they were out of reach.
| looked over my shoulder and caught him still watching me, eyes narrowed in suspicion. | sighed and shook my head. “You should take your own advice, Andy, because Stella would never leave Timothy for you, | stated, my voice unwavering. My words must have cut him deeply, because he seemed to struggle to find a response.
“Don't delude yourself, Andy,” | continued, my tone sharp. “You were a part of a twisted chapter in her life, but you’re not the man she chose to be with. She’s moved on, and you should too.
The room fell into a heavy silence as my words hung in the air. His face scrunched up, and he looked down at his desk in deep thought. He had held onto the hope that Stella might still choose him, but my words may have shattered that illusion.
| turned and left his office, leaving him to grapple with that thought.
