Part 2: I discovered my husband was having an affair with my best friend while we were all on the same airplane—and neither of them knew I was there. Instead of confronting them, I sent a small, beautifully wrapped gift to their seats.

YOU WANTED THE TRUTH ABOUT ELLIOT. NOW ASK DAWSON WHY HE ORDERED LUCY'S DNA TEST TWO YEARS AGO.

My blood ran cold.

Two years ago?

Dawson had known about Lucy?

I called him immediately.

He answered.

"Claire?"

His voice sounded worried.

"Have you found the children?"

I couldn't speak.

"Claire?"

I swallowed.

"Dawson, did you have Lucy's DNA tested?"

Silence.

Complete silence.

Then he whispered:

"Who told you?"

My heart shattered.

"Dawson..."

He began breathing hard.

"Claire, please let me explain."

I closed my eyes.

Two marriages.

Three children.

Four years of lies.

And now the one person I'd trusted through everything was admitting he'd kept another secret.

I gripped the phone.

"Why did you test my daughter?"

Dawson began crying.

Then he whispered the words that made me realize the betrayal had started long before Ryan met Megan.

"Because two years ago, your husband came to me with a photograph of a baby."
