Chapter 54

• "Please." I took his hand and squeezed it gently, trying to convey my need for honesty and reassurance. The silence hung heavy in the air as Jason took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. Then he looked into my eyes and said, "I don't know if it's the right time to say the truth, but I can't keep hiding it from you any longer." His voice trembled slightly, revealing the weight of his confession. I held my breath, bracing myself for the truth.

• "Aria is our daughter," Jason finally admitted, his voice filled with a mix of guilt and regret. My mind raced as I tried to process this shocking revelation.
