Sometimes, fate has a way of revealing truths in the most unexpected moments.
Marc thought he had everything under control: a mistress, a private clinic, and a baby boy on the way. But a single envelope would soon shatter his illusions and turn his pride into devastation.
Msarc had cast out Elise simply because she was expecting a daughter, yet spared no expense to ensure his mistress delivered a boy. On the very day of that birth, fate intervened, changing everything he believed he controlled.
Elise’s Journey
As dawn broke over Lyon, Elise moved carefully through her Croix-Rousse apartment, hand resting on her swollen belly. Each step felt heavy, but she murmured softly to her unborn child:
“Just a little longer, love… soon we’ll finally meet.”
Marc, however, barely noticed her presence. Since her pregnancy began, the man she had loved had become distant, impatient, and indifferent. When he insisted she travel to Annecy for a cheaper midwife, Elise realized the man she knew no longer existed.
Two days later, she arrived in Annecy, welcomed by her mother’s embrace. “My love… you’re home. Let me care for you,” her mother said, offering comfort and security.
Marc’s Downfall
In Lyon, Marc celebrated the anticipated birth of his son with his mistress, Chloe Morel. A private clinic, premium services, over 8,000 euros spent—everything was meticulously planned. Yet when the baby arrived, a surprise awaited him.
Madame Fontaine, Elise’s mother, appeared with an envelope. “Do you know what this is? A DNA test,” she said, handing him the results.
Marc’s world crumbled. The child he had celebrated so triumphantly was not his. All his efforts, all his pride, were suddenly meaningless. Chloe vanished, leaving him with bills exceeding 12,000 euros, a seized apartment, and an empty life.
Life Restored
Meanwhile, Elise thrived in Annecy. Surrounded by love, she cared for her daughter in peace. Madame Fontaine reminded her gently, “Do you see, my dear? Life balances itself. You have love. He… has only his errors.”
As the sun set over the turquoise lake, Elise held her child close, breathing in the freedom and joy that Marc had forfeited.
Conclusion
Greed and cruelty cannot endure in the face of truth and resilience. Marc’s obsession with a male heir cost him everything, while Elise found love, safety, and happiness with her daughter. Life, in its own way, restored balance—rewarding integrity and punishing arrogance, proving that true wealth lies not in entitlement or pride, but in love and family.
