For a moment, the world seemed to stop. Kris stared at Rita, uncomprehending. He blinked, processing the words, but they didn't make sense.

"What... what are you saying?" he whispered, his voice barely audible, filled with confusion.

Rita looked down, guilt washing over her face. "I'm so sorry, Kris. But Tessa... she's not yours."

Kris stared at her for a few seconds more before a curt chuckle escaped him, filled with disbelief.

"Where is this coming from, Rita? What are you even saying?" he questioned, his voice tight. "Tessa IS my daughter. She's my little angel. I've been there since the day she was born."

"I know," Rita said, tears filling her eyes. "But... the truth is... you're not her biological father, Kris. Karen confessed it to me herself."

"Karen is a fucking liar!" Kris growled, shaking his head frantically. "She's making this up to hurt me."

Rita shook her head, a tear sliding down her cheek. "No. In fact, she did everything she could to keep the secret hidden because she didn't want you to know."

Kris staggered back, his breath catching in his throat. It felt like a punch to the gut, knocking the air right out of his lungs.

"No... no, that can't be true. Tessa is my daughter. There has to be a mistake somewhere. The dates match. She was conceived around the time I got drunk and woke up in bed with Karen."
