IT ALL BEGAN IN 1988, WHEN ROXY BENSON.... A vibrant and beautiful high school student, found herself holding a pregnancy test in the solitude of her school's restroom. Her heart pounded with a mix of fear and anticipation as she stared at the result: positive.
Confronted with the potential life-altering consequences, Roxy's mind raced. She knew her boyfriend, Kevin, was not ready for fatherhood, and neither was she. Thus, she embarked on a clandestine journey, keeping her pregnancy a secret from him. For months, she feigned visits to family in London, all the while carrying a growing burden within her.
As the fifth month approached, Roxy's deception became more apparent. Her sister-in-law, Kelly Ball, a shrewd and perceptive woman, began to piece together the clues. Late-night snacking, frequent bathroom breaks, and a radiant glow in Roxy's eyes raised suspicions.
Kelly confronted Roxy, not about her pregnancy, but about whether she and Kevin desired children. Kevin's emphatic "no" sent shockwaves through Kelly. She realized that Roxy could not bear to tell Kevin the truth, and so, an audacious plan was hatched.
Kelly offered to pretend to be the pregnant one, ensuring that the child would still be present in Kevin's life. With the aid of stolen fake baby bumps, Kelly embarked on a charade that was both elaborate and deceitful.
Time marched on, and on a joyous day, Kodi Ball was born. Kelly returned home with her newborn "niece," the truth concealed beneath a web of lies. Roxy and Kelly kept their secret close, even after Roxy married Kevin a few years later. However, their deception was about to unravel.
Thirteen years after the birth of Kodi, Kelly, drenched with rain, knocked on Kevin's door. She held Kodi in her arms and a letter in her other hand. The letter contained a bombshell revelation: Kodi was not Kelly's daughter, but Kevin's.
Evidence in the letter, including a photo of Roxy's ultrasound, was irrefutable. Kevin was stunned, his mind reeling from the betrayal of his sister and the secret they had kept from him all these years.
Questions raced through his mind. Why had they done this? How would he break the news to his family and his girlfriend, Veronica? More importantly, how would he tell Kodi, the girl he had always known as his niece, that he was her father?
The weight of the secret threatened to crush him, yet he knew he could not reveal it. He feared the consequences, the pain it would cause Kodi and his family. So, in a desperate attempt to bury the truth, he burned the letter, destroying any trace of evidence.
I know that sound crazy, but Kevin Ball's life was crazy... And he would do anything to keep his 'now suppose daughter' mind she ease.. even if that means hiding the truth from her.
