But when just stand there, not saving anything, she took it se her cus to go full on crazy Tim telling you, that men in the photo that

She Played her hair back like she was in some soap opera Talways thought hovechild my dad had while cheating‘
looked kinda farmiliar flow 1know why You’re the bitte
telenched my law so hard my teeth hurt I wanted to throw her out of the house right then and there, but I took a deep breath, trying to keep it together
“Queente, cut the crap I don’t know what kind of drama you’re on about, but my parents are mamed, legally marned So stop talking Rensense and apologise Now I said
But she just scoffed and interrupted me like I was a joke. “What are you gonna do? Gry? A filthy lille side product dares to raise her voice at me? Please Everything I say has receipts, I don’t just make stuff up’s
Then she whipped out her phone and started scrolling like a woman on a mission
“Here. This is a photo of my birth certificate. That’e me as a newhom with my parents. And this one” she shoved the screen in my face, this is our household registration. Take a good look. Isn’t the man here your father? Salvatore Santiago, isn’t that his name?%
Ifhose. The man in the picture. he looked exactly like my dad Same face Sams hair Same quist kind of smile
For a second. Thoped, maybe he had a twin? A long lost cousin? But no My dad was an only child Ho siblings, no cousins. Just ham $
Then I saw the signature. It was the same one I had watched him scabble on every school form. The same full name. The same handwriting
And that was when it hit me. Queente was telling the truth. She really was his daughters
Which meant he cheated. On my mom And Queenie was the result
I felt like the floor had been ripped out from under me This couldn’t be real
My dad, the quiet, obedient man who followed my mom’s every word? The guy who never even argued back when she yelled at him over burnt toast? That same man was out there having secret kids 78
I wanted to scream. Or cry. Or throw something, I felt sick And Queente was absolutely loving it “Well? Hothing to say now? Come on, speak up! The man on my birth certificate, isn’t that your precious dad?“%
She leaned in closer, smiling like the devil. “You’ve been acting like some princess all day But tell me, why do you think your dad is never home? Go ahead. Think real hard.”
“And why don’t you even have the same last name as your dad?” Queenie snapped, that smug smile creeping back onto her face.%
“All you’ve got is your slut mom’s last name, Zielinski. That’s because you don’t deserve his name. You’re nothing but a bastard.” Her words felt like a punch in the gut. Sharp, nasty and way too personal 0
I didn’t come here just for cake,” she went on, practically sneering. “I’ve been suspecting for a while that my dad was sneaking around. 1 followed him a bunch of times, but I could never catch him near here. Then you gave me your address at school, so I came. Figured I’d try my luck. And look at that, I found your little love nest. “N
She glanced around at the others like she was proud of herself, like this was her moment
“So, gids,” she said, raising her voice just enough, “the truth is out. Miss Perfect Yesenia? The one with the good grades and the pretty smile? She’s not some inspirational story. She’s just the daughter of a homewrecker A damn mistake.”
For a second, nobody said a word. But then the whispers started #
“Wait, what? Yesenia’s mom was a mistress?“N
“That explains the house. No way she could afford this on her own “10
“Ew… aren’t Queenie and Yesenia like the same age? Her mom was hooking up with Queenie’s dad while his wife was pregnant?“% “Disgusting. I’m gonna keep my boyfriend far away from her, just in case.”
I stood there, frozen. I couldn’t move I couldn’t speak. It felt like everything I had ever worked for, everything I was proud of, was crashing down around me
And just then, like some horrible twist of fate, my mom’s voice floated in from the hallway. “What’s going on in there? I thought I heard something fall, is everyone okay?“N
She stood at the door, still smiling, completely unaware of what had just happened. And all I could do was stare at her, heart pounding, while the room full of classmates stared at me like they didn’t recognize me anymore.
