My childhood sweetheart got pregnant before marriage and died in childbirth after giving birth to a baby boy at the hospital.
The doctor called me using the number she had left and handed the baby over to me.
Her parents found me too. They said she had died in childbirth, so I should raise her orphaned child.
And so, as an unmarried man, I not only earned money to support us, but played both father and mother.
After all those years of raising the boy, my girlfriend suddenly came back, with a man in a suit standing beside her.
She held our son and twisted the truth, claiming I had cheated on her and stolen the child, keeping mother and son apart.
My son resolutely cut ties with me. Only then did I learn that someone else was his biological father.
My girlfriend's parents knew the truth, yet watched me get cuckolded and watched me pour my heart and soul into raising another man's child for more than a decade.
Overcome with rage, I coughed up blood and died.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my girlfriend gave birth.
